Dear Friends,
We hope this Fall finds you and your family well. This past Summer was busy here in the Studio making many family memories. I look forward to when a client calls to update their family portrait and I get to see how the kids have grown so much. Just last week, we recreated a portrait as a surprise for a clients wife. Dad brought his three children back after 10 years have passed and had us recreate a beautiful wall portrait now that they are all grown and in High School and College. They boys were taller than me!
Our daughter Chloe is now in first grade, it’s so hard to swallow. The first day of school after we put her on the bus, neither Mike or myself could concentrate on work so we went out to breakfast (as we played hooky) to find many other parents there doing the same thing! I was teary all day till she joyfully hopped off the bus without a care in the world. Chloe is also going to Dance School and taking Horse Back Riding lessons along with conquering this “new math” for her homework.
Our newest member to join us here at the Studio is Jenn. After years working in New York City, Jenn gave up the fast paced NYC commute and life to be a “shore girl”. Jenn, who brings many talents with her such as graphic design, digital enhancement, as well as editing is engaged to be married and has two cats.
Ann Marie (a ball of energy) has also joined us and is the friendly voice you hear on the other end of the phone. Ann Marie can be found making your appointments, answering all of your questions, and you’ll be sure to see her over the Holidays planning all of our promotions. She is married with 4 adult children and 3 dogs, Baily, Max & Mia.
Cute Conversations with ChloeChloe: Mommy, do you eat fish?
Mommy: No, but it is very healthy and good for you.
Chloe: I will not eat fish!
Mommy: Why?
Mommy: I want to save it for the Penguins, so they don’t starve.

I Believe...I Believe ... in photography, but more than that I believe in photographs. Printed photographs are tangible. We can hold on to them, pass them around, frame and hang them. We can make albums to be treasured and looked at by children for years to come. I am without a doubt passionate about creating photographs - real pictures - printed on professional papers. I want you children, their children, my children and future grandchildren looking at and holding onto tangible photographs.
I Believe ... the best way to provide exceptional service to all my clients is to present them with beautiful professionally finished work. Handing them a flash drive or a DVD and sending them on their way is not the best representation of my work or the value I place on photographs.
I Believe ... not all labs are created equally. Quality printing is not something the corner drug store offers. Professional labs have strict quality control and print my work to my standards. Correct color and density and professional mounting are important for the final product. As an artist, I am a perfectionist when it comes to cropping, color, density, and print quality and choose to maintain control over these variables.
I understand ... that in this age of digital technology you want to share images through social media and portable devices. For this reason, I offer web-friendly images and a slide show app.
