Fall 2009 Newsletter

Fall is a beautiful time of year. The trees each have their own color, and give perfect contrast to the bright blue sky above. Footbabll and soccer seasons have started and are almost over. Soon the kids will be Trick or Treating and before you know it, Thanksgiving and then Christmas is here. Its amazing how fast the year seems to fly by! When we were kids, it seemed like forever. Now, they just kind of all blur together.

Wedding Season

This year we have met a lot of great couples who are getting married. We've done a few engagement sessions, and some weddings this year. We love being a part of their special day. The nervousness, the excitement, the love, the magic of it all.
We had a booth at the Bridal Expo in Wilkes Barre this month. This was a first for us, but we really enjoyed ourselves. We hope to do the next one in the winter at the Scranton Cutural Center.

Outdoor Studio

The digging for the outdoor studio began back in the summer. Thanks to Jeff from Fischer Brothers Landscaping, the wall is complete. We are now working on the floor of the patio in front of it. Our only obstacle is the weather. It doesn't stop raining long enough to get anything done. We have used the wall a few times for some sessions. In the spring we hope to add flowers and ivy all around the wall. By adjusting our angles of the camera, we hope to be able to get totally different looks from that one wall. We also have other plans for next year if the weather cooperates.
Senior Class of 2010

You do have time to make the yearbook if you haven't gotten your pictures done yet. Most schools need the photo by December. We can proof right after your session so you can choose your photo for the yearbook. We will edit that photo, and get it to you so you can hand it in on time.

Another Senior




This is Maria. She is a senior at Dunmore High School. We have known her family for a while now. Instead of taking the summer off like most kids her age, Maria spent the summer in boot camp.

We did a few indoor shots, but she really loosened up when we got outside. I think she did a great job modeling! Any of you last minute seniors who go to Dunmore, be sure to get a card off Maria. You'll receive 16 free wallets!

Girls on the runway





Monday we had the pleasure of getting some girls to come in to model for us. Danae is a senior from North Pocono. For her senior project, she is helping organize the Youth for Christ's high tea which benefits their Teen Parents program. At this year's tea, they will be auctioning off prom dresses. Danae and some of her friends came over to model the dresses so we could make a catalog for them. If you would like to attend the high tea, or bid on a dress, please contat us and we will get you the information you need.

First Friday






The city of Scranton has a monthly art show, held on the first Friday of each month, appropriately named First Friday. Each month, local businesses and a few churches, display art made by local artists. We have had the honor of being asked by St Luke's Church to be part of their display a few times.

October's theme was pet art. Pets were welcome to come, and Father Pete had a pet blessing in the church. There were dancing dogs, along with pets looking for homes that were there with the Griffin Pond Aimal Shelter. Springbrook Kennels, K-9 Training and a few other facilities were there to educate owners on pet care, grooming and training.

It as a fun night and we got to meet some great people. If you are looking for something to do on a Friday night, google First Friday in Scranton and get a list of establishments displaying art.

New to the family




Last week we drove down to Virginia, just outside of DC to take some photographs of Sophia, a daughter of my friends Pietra and Vanjela. Pietra's grandmother and my grandmother met back in the 60s when they both bought vacation property at Lake Wallenpaupack. Her mother and my father grew up together and then Pietra and her brother and my sisters and I grew up together.

Needless to say, I was thrilled to go see her baby. I dragged Ed along for the ride. She was having a little bit of a belly ache, but we worked in between cries. Here are some of my favorites.
