[fur]kids

Though Jennifer and I mainly photograph children of the fur-less variety, we also enjoy capturing the furry members of the family! So, if during your shoot we happen to point the camera towards your cat, pup, llama, etc... (llama - that would be TOO funny!) don't be alarmed, we just like to involve the 4-legged family members, too!
To close, here are my babies...Oliver, Franklin & Stella:

an extreme "office" makeover!

This past week, after months of talking about giving our office space a new look, we finally DID it! And all in one day, too! I suppose I can't really prove that this is an extreme makeover without some horrid "before" pictures, but I dumbly didn't take any, so a description will have to do:

Before : pink floofy carpet
After : neutral berber carpet

Before : 1 white wall, 1 salmon textured wall with aztec-inspired border, 1 solid salmon wall, 1 blue floral-stripe wallpapered wall (and NO, it was not originally decorated by me...)
After : 4 MATCHING walls in a neutral, calming slate blue-gray

Before : blue plastic mini-blinds
After : jute roman shades with navy linen curtains

Before : a room that we dreaded working in
Now : a room that we LOVE working in, and one that is conducive to everything we do!

It's still a bit sparse, as we haven't yet added the shelving and wall grouping we've got planned, but it's definitely so much better!

run annabelle, run!

We had lots of fun hunting for Easter eggs with our niece Annabelle yesterday...she was so excited when she'd find one, especially if it was "shakeable" with goodies inside!

But I have to say my favorite part of the day was when I got to be "auntie" instead of "photographer." Annabelle and I played a little game of "run and getcha" - thank you so much to our friend Badi who caught these moments!

***warning***

Below is quite possibly the cutest series of images EVER! (Don't say I didn't warn you...)

stella + daddy = precious!

Jennifer and I had a fanTASTIC shoot today featuring a little 3 month old darling named Olivia - we're still in the process of sorting through the images, but they're STUNNING and I can't wait to post a sneak peek here on the blog in the next few days - so be on the lookout!
In the meantime, here is a picture I snapped of hubby Kevin and one of our pups Stella before heading off to the shoot...I don't know what it is, but something about it just takes my breath away!

happy valentine's from picsee!

Just a short post to wish all of our readers the very happiest of Valentine's Days! May you spend it with people you love!

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

And to sign off, here's the fantastic Valentine card I designed for my wonderful sis-in-law Rachel and bro-in-law Mark...featuring an image of my gorgeous niece Annabelle Gracen! (you'll spot her all over our website, too!)
