A Studio Blog »

Wow wow wow … I don’t know where to begin. These past few days have kept us busy for sure!  I am so happy to see families taking the time to fit picture taking into their busy holiday schedules. I love cute little holiday dresses for cute little girls … so when there are TWIN girls involved – I was double in love How cute are the Ayers twins? and if Ashley wasn’t missing her front tooth I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, or wait – was that Sydney? Anyway, they were just too(two) adorable.

Just as cute(- the dresses) are Jeff and Tim and their awesome Highland Square apartment all decked out for the holidays! I knew these two were going to  be fantastic to photograph and I wasn’t wrong – can’t wait for our dinner date with them.

Matt and Kristina? Words can’t describe them. Amazing is all I can think of right now. It’s of course not the first time we’ve photographed them and like other times before these two didn’t disappoint. Always a Joy!!

I think we’ll be able to squeeze in a few more holiday families on the blog before Christmas so we’ll see you back here in a few days!

We photographed Jen and her girls last holiday season and were happy to photograph them again this year with a warm welcome to Bob and Luka as well:) What a difference a year makes …. Hannah and Alli – you gals were cute last year but – geez you’re growing fast and super cute this year and that’s what makes shooting return couples and families so fun … watching the changes happen and their families grow! Enjoy a preview of their photo shoot!

‘Tis the season for family photos, though we think anytime of the year is good for family photos. Over Thanksgiving weekend we had the opportunity to do a few family photo shoots. The Ballos family we’ve gotten to know from Brandon and Jeneanne’s wedding – we’re awfully glad they had us back:) The Ernst family invited us to their beautiful home in Hudson for photos while all their kids were in town … Big thanks to both for having us!  There’s still time to have your family photographed while everyone’s in town for the holidays!

What can I say? I love these two with all my heart and nothing makes me happier than photographing friends and family!  As I am shooting these photos I am thinking that these are the moments I want them to remember forever… every shot taken for them to look at 40 years from now and remember so clearly – anyway … Happy Holidays!!

Halloween is almost here and if you’re like me you only ever get about 1 chance to wear your costume so we opened our studio and had a little party to celebrate the costume-wearing occasion.  Kids in costume are just the cutest and these kids are no exception! Thanks to all who came and went through the trouble of make-up and hair etc…. just to get their photos taken! Your photos have all been posted in our online gallery. www.astudio.zenfolio.com/halloween2010 Thanks also to Kristina’s Kreations for supplying her super awesome Mocha Kit Kat cupcakes – I think they are my new favorites. Enjoy the photos and Happy Halloween!!

Today was one of those ‘Funday Sundays’ and the beautiful weather didn’t hurt at all. We started out early with the Hunter Family in downtown Canton. I think this is the 3rd edition of the Hunter Fall family photos and let me tell ya .. little man Jax has come a long waaaay! What made him smile so easily? saying “Please” over and over and over again…it was totally cute .. then we went from saying to PLEASE to saying peas and green beans and broccoli with each new word bringing a smile:) We ended the afternoon with the Zimmerman family at a family owned farm ..The Rufener Hilltop Farms in Suffield. .. a great place to get a BIG pumpkin if you want it! We  had our own little photo shoot with our little guy too so we threw a few of those in too  … so watch out because this blog is a full dose of CUTENESS – hope you can handle it:)  Enjoy!

THE ZIMMERMAN FAMILY

CASH EMMETT

This is Mike and Danielle and their two beautiful children. Cindee has been photographing this family for 7 years now and every year it gets better. We switched it up this year and shot in Downtown Massillon. The Attars are great friends and a great family!

I am a super big fan of Halloween and Halloween costumes. I am also a super big fan of taking photos. Also on my ‘Super Big Fan of’ list is Kristina’s Kreations cupcakes and doing things to help out others. what does all this mean? It means we are having a Halloween Costume Portrait party. You were looking for another reason to wear your costumes more than once anyway, right?  Bring your kids  dressed up in costume for a party complete with tricks and treats(maybe not tricks but pics!) and treats for sure! These 15-20 minute mini sessions are $35/family with $10 of every session going to the Domestic Violence Project. You’ll get your photos on disk within the following week …. just in time for Halloween!

Kristina’s Kreations will be supplying the cupcake treats along with selling cute little 2-packs with 30% of her proceeds going to the Domestic Violence Project as well.

We love Halloween and would love to have you stop by for photos and halloween fun! Stop in October 1st during Canton First Friday to pick up your reminder card about this fun event!

Saturday October 16th 2pm-8pm at our studio.  Walk-ins are welcome but letting us know what time you’re coming may prevent you from having to wait, not that waiting won’t be any fun … but scheduling a time with us may help you better plan your day!

This is Johnny V and his crew. We had a great time shooting with them on Monday evening. There were bubbles and awesome dogs and lots of laughs!

Yes I did say holidays though. People are planning their holiday photos already! Take pictures now and use them for your holiday cards? sure, why not! We’re definitely booking families for the Fall – get on our schedule.  Let’s make your family photos fun! Your crazy ideas are our greatest inspiration – if you’re thinking “they might not do that” – WE WILL!! It’s what keeps us goin’!
