For so long, holiday portraits have been something to check off your to do list. Not anymore... When Anna & I sat down this past July to brainstorm our Holiday Styled Sessions, a theme that kept echoing was TRADITION. For most of us, it's not the shopping list or the commercialism or the millionth holiday party that make the holiday season so beloved. Rather, it's those intimate family traditions - the familiar that you look forward to year after year.
We wanted to create something special that brought families together; something that would become part of their yearly holiday tradition and be passed down through the generations. Winter Tales was born from this vision to turn holiday family portraits into something more meaningful than a card on your friends and family's mantle.
Bringing the most beloved holiday stories to life with your family's portraits, Winter Tales is a series of Holiday Collector's Edition Books that brings you into magic of the season to read and re-read each holiday season.
Made from heirloom quality and archival materials, the book is designed to become a part of your family's tradition, your grandkids' tradition and even your great grandkids' tradition.

’Twas the night before our Holiday Sessions arrived;

The set had been styled, details placed with much care;
in hopes that smiling faces soon would be there...
Mommy + Me Styled Sessions
The relationship between Mom and child is something so special and we absolutely LOVED capturing it in our exclusive Mommy + Me sessions that took place back in April. Looking back, there were so many wonderful moments filled with sweet smiles and laughs, gorgeous florals, and even some puppy love that made our hearts melt! Our latest behind the scenes video shares a glimsp of what makes these limited edition Styled Sessions so special.

Bubble Bath Session
Splish Splash. Putting on our creative hats to make this session a reality was such a treat! From figuring out how to build a bathtub in Studio to creating a bubble wonderland, we loved the challenge, and even more so, loved seeing the pure joy in the faces of our clients, Miss Isla And Mr. Brookes. Thanks Kelley Cannon for trusting us and going along with our crazy ideas...
Creative Maternity Session with dog in Studio
The detailing that goes into one single photo may surprise you.
In a lightening fast paced world where "more" always seems to be the motto, creating a true piece of artwork requires the opposite. LESS frames. SLOWER pace. Attention to SMALL details. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The image at the end of this video took us 15 minutes to create. Think about that - 15 minutes for ONE photo. It might seems ridiculously to you, but I remember being taught that anything good and worthwhile takes time. Whatever your craft, be it photography, painting, floral design, cooking, designing clothes....master it by taking the time to SLOW DOWN.

2018 Weddings + Portraits
It's been quiet over here, and for good reason. There's a lot of planning in the works and some BIG and exciting things ahead for 2019! But first, I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect back on the incredible year we had in 2018. It was definitely a year of transition as I welcomed my daughter, Eva, to the world in March. And despite my being on maternity leave for a good portion of the summer, we actually photographed the most portraits + weddings ever! It was a year filled with many new families/couples as well as some of our favorite, long-time clients. We loved experimenting in the Studio, as well as on location, and we got a chance to photograph at some new and awesome wedding venues!
A year like that deserves to be remembered and we wanted to share some of the wonderful moments - memories that make us laugh and those that make us cry with tears of joy; images that fill our hearts with love and give us pride in the work we created for the clients we consider family.
So sit back and laugh, cry, ohhhh and awwww with us at 2018. What an incredible year....

Marcia Klioze creates beautiful, heirloom oil paintings on canvas of your most beloved images of your family. She'll be LIVE PAINTING a sample of one of our Studio's portraits at the Pop-Up and we couldn't be more excited to see her in action!

Fall + Flannel Pop Up Artist: Onyx & Oak
It's less than 2 weeks away from our Fall + Flannel Pop Up here at the Studio! We're even more excited to be inviting some extremely talented artists into our space to share their creativity with you. Over the next couple of days, we'll be introducing you to the artists and hope you'll be intrigued to come meet them in person at our event and see/shop their beautiful work. Don't forget that the Pop-Up is part of an overall event here at The Shops at Crescent Place so there will be even more opportunities to shop locally with our neighbors, including Green Mansions Designs, Studio Twenty8Fifty7, Best Rack Around and more!
ANDDDDDD...we'll be making a special announcement later this week about a surprise from our Studio for the Pop-Up so stay tuned!
Without further ado, introducing the talented Rebecca of Onyx & Oak. I'm drooling over her pieces and am already trying to narrow down which ones I want!
Photographing all summer means album designing in the fall! Numerous clients have told us that while they loved seeing their wedding images online, they were simply blown away when they saw the same images printed and bound in their handcrafted heirloom album. We couldn’t agree more...
