I know what your thinking, Trish, you don't do weddings. This is true. However I love doing commercial work. I arrived at the Sanford Center late in the day to photograph Althea's Cakery.
They had a wonderful booth full of fun ideas on how to use her amazing cupcakes.

While I was there I got a chance to meet her neighboring booth Panache. Panache' is an event planning business that requested a few images for their website.

As I was walking around I spotted this fantastic display by the ladies at Events by Design. I thought the set up was stunning and had to take a few images just because!

It was nice to see such a great group of vendors offering their services to wedding clients through out the area. Another reason I was at the show was to pick up a few select bridal pieces created by Netzer's Bemdiji Floral. Every time Jill does a bridal event we plan a commercial shoot around her designs. This is always a great time to get commercial images for marketing. On my way back to the studio I picked up a few wedding sets from the guys at Ravenrock Gallery. I love putting it all together for them.

Children are so full of curiosity and wonder. Here is a budding piano player. Maybe one day she'll grow up to be a famous piano player, traveling the world entertaining kings and queens.

Newborns are by far my favorite subject matter to photograph. They have such a uniqueness about them. This little girl was no exception. How amazing is this? Mom and Dad had this idea and we ran with it. 

Saturday, October 20th from 10-6  we will be photographing pets at Bark Ave. to raise money for Pet Fixers. This in and organization that is working to help people get their pets fixed. Which will reduce the number of unwanted cats and dogs in the community. Our set will be fall themed. Costumes and owners welcome! There will be a prize given away for the best pet costume of the day!

My favorite time of year. Like most Northern folk, fall is considered the best time of year. The cooler temps, beautiful colors and crisp fall air, are perfect for getting outside. Here are a few images that remind me of just how great it is to live right here!

This is such a fun image! I love scale. Here you can tell just how small this little guy really is. We've been on a little journey together.
Seems like only yesterday we captured his first days in this world.
And now look at him! Well, look at the back of him. Facing him away from the lens makes me feel like
he's moving away. Or growing up.
Sigh.

I love the golden light that comes from the colorful trees in this image. This little cutie has been in since she was very young as well. Soon the teddy bear will be replaced with more grown up things and before we know it she will be a teenager!
