Baby Ducklings are here

Denise — Fri, 14 May 2010 02:19:00 +0000

Twelve baby ducklings have arrived and are waiting for your child to be photographed with. They are so cute and tiny!! They will be living in this great new “home” when they are done being photographed. This little house that my nephew built is almost as cute as the ducklings! What a pampered life they will live.

Call the studio to set up your time to be photographed. There are still some spots open, so don’t wait, this will fill up quickly! 321-8888

Michigan Top 7 Photographer

Denise — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:30:00 +0000

Yahoo!!! I have just returned from the Professional Photographers of Michigan Annual Convention where I was awarded the trophy of one of the top seven photographer in the state. Each year this is determined by photographers submitting 4 prints to be judged anonymously by a panel of photographers, scored and the highest scores are awarded trophies. I cannot tell you how excited I was that I received this award. There are very many great photographers that enter this judging and many that I hold the highest respect for. So to be in their ranks is a humbling privilege. Now I can’t wait until next year to enter again. What fun. I love it!!

What a Man

Denise — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:51:00 +0000

My life is a whirl right now. We are swamped with sessions at the studio, Rebeca’s wedding is just over two weeks away, I am working 12 hour days, attending meetings, finalizing details for the wedding and just really stressed. This morning I opened my email to find a sweet and loving note from my husband telling me how much he loved me, he hopes I have a wonderful day and he will cherish spending the day with me. Attached to the email is a photo of roses (clip art, but who cares?). WOW. Did I choose the right guy? It is moments like this that I live for. It is moments like this worth sharing. To whomever reads this post: I hope your day is wonderful and you cherish being with the one you love.

David is awarded Photographer of the Year

Denise — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:23:00 +0000

Yahoo!!! David was awarded the Photographer of the Year status last night by Michigan Triangle Photographers Association last night at their annual banquet and meeting. It is an honor that is earned over the course of a year by entering prints in print competition (the total score of all your images), placing in the top three for “My Favorite Print” each month, writing articles for publication for the monthly newsletter and regularly attending meetings. Out of the 55 people who participated, David scored the highest! We are so proud of him! It just shows that even a handicap cannot stop David. Look out world, here comes Dave!!

Here is a photo of Dave with the MTPPA President, Rose Hendershot.

The shore of Lake Michigan

Denise — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:46:00 +0000

It’s Monday morning and I am sitting on the shore of Bay Harbor where I am attending Essentials for Women. It’s a PPM event designed for women in photography. There are about 50 of us, all in different points in our businesses. I love the enthusiasm and creativity of everyone here and all the ideas that are being bounced around.

Most of all I love the quite and the waves softly lapping on the shore. The seagulls are crying, bringing me to a place I’ve been before. The soft highlights of the rising sun etch out a pencil thin edge to the surroundings creating a depth that that is not truly there.
As I wait for the day to blossom, I am reminded of the Glory of God and his creation. The massive work of art that is always in progress. continuing to swirl around me, soft and gentle. Caressing my life with it’s touch.

Wow, now that’s getting deep. Where did that come from? There is a side of me none of you have seen before. I’ll try not to be so deep next time.
Bye for now.

We have bunnies!

Rebeca — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:31:00 +0000

I went to the pet store yesterday and bought our bunnies! How cute! Growing up we used to have some bunnies as pets and I loved them so much. So now every year when we have bunnies I love to take care of them. Often times while we have our bunny special you might find me sitting at my desk doing my work with a bunny sitting in my lap cause I just love to hold them. This year we have three absolutely adorable bunnies!

From left to right we have Butterscotch, Jessica, and Charlie. To the best of my knowledge, Butterscotch and Charlie are longer haired dutch (which means their ears will stay smaller and strait up) and Jessica is a short haired lop (which means she’ll have long floppy ears that fall around her face). They’re all up for adoption (for free!) after saturday, but speak up now if you’d like one so we can make sure it’s not adopted out to someone else. Anyone can adopt a bunny, you don’t have to be photographed to adopt them. They’re adorable and cuddly and Jessica especially loves to get attention. If you’d like to come in and see them, give us a call and let us know when you’d like to stop by. That way we can make sure we’re not busy photographing while you’re here to see them.

We still have a few appointments available on Thursday and Friday, and right now we have one appointment left for Saturday morning. So if you’re thinking about this set, call and make your appointment before we’re all booked up!

Hotel Del Coronado

Denise — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:23:00 +0000

How stunning! The Del Coronado is everything it is made out to be. Everywhere I turn it is breathtaking. We have been very busy with all the programing and social events. Sunday nights dinner was out on the lawn. The beach is large and very clean. Here are some shots of the grounds. I will post more later. Free time is short here.

Today was a travel day. We drove from Monterey to Hollywood. It was a long drive and almost all of my photos are from the car. The hardest part of taking pictures from the car is keeping bushes, trees, fences and signs out! The valley between the two mountain ranges is very fertile and full of farms, ranches and vineyards. The hillsides are bright green and all the leaves are coming out on the trees. I tried to find an orchard in bloom, but I guess this part of the state rows celery, broccoli, grapes and strawberries (or the best I could tell). The hills are full of the “California Happy Cows”. The actor portrayals on TV have pretty dairy cows being the happy cow, but all I saw was black Angus, a beef cow. I don’t know how happy they are, knowing their fate. Maybe that’s why TV portrays them as dairy.

We stopped in Pismo Beach for lunch (I remember the Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs is tunnelling to Pismo Beach and ends up in the Sahara or someplace like that). So I had to see Pismo Beach! To our surprise, we ran across Alex Bar-B-Que, voted the best restaurant in Pismo Beach. Of course we had to eat there. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the famous Alex French fries which were sprinkled with seasoning (kinda like Lawry’s).

As we continued toward LA, we spotted the RV parks here for the retired people. Hey Mom and Dad, look at this, the perfect seaside park. All the RVs are lined up along a road just off the shoreline. Each space guaranteed an ocean view! I think you are missing out on the best view. Dad can go fishing, you can comb for shells and everyone will be happy!!!

Tomorrow we hit Hollywood!

See ya then.

Big Sur Highway

Denise — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:31:00 +0000

Dave and I explored the coast today, both up close and from the mountain top. The morning was spent walking the shore in Monterey to watch the waves come crashing in. We then drove to the local state park that is suppose to be a wildlife haven. We saw harbour seals, sea otters and we heard the sea lions, but couldn’t find them. There were whales off the shore and all we could see was the spout when they blew out their air. I don’t even know what kind of whales they were. The birds here are different too. There is a type of blue jay that is sapphire blue on top and white on the bottom. One bird looks like a small Robin with a red breast, but the top of the bird is black instead of brown and it has white spots on it’s wings. We stopped at the Monarch butterfly sanctuary where the butterflies spend the winter. They had started to migrate north again, so there were not many left, but they were flying in the top of the very tall trees. I tried to take some photos of them, but they were too far away.

The afternoon was spent driving back down the Big Sur Highway looking for the “best shot”. Sunset’s are gorgeous and short. We flew from spot to spot trying to find the “light”. What fun!! As soon as the sun set, that was it. Time to head back to the room.
