As the holidays roll in, we're shooting fewer weddings.. and more families, babies, and general holiday card mantle-place decor. In addition to the usual holiday-card portraiture, we try to approach our family and baby stuff with the same sensibility we bring to weddings or anything else we shoot...

Here are a couple of our favorites from recent shoots with Lila and Fisher (unrelated, but a really cute potential high-school prom queen & king).

I dunno what floodgate opened up this week, but we've been wading through a sea of inquiries. I think Mel booked a half dozen meetings with potential clients this week! So, for those of you meeting us at a coffee shop.. This is what we look like (while drinking coffee).

Hopefully that will help eliminate some of the blind-dateness of finding each-other in a crowded room. Can't wait to meet you!

Should you notice that we haven't blogged in a while, it would be a mistake to assume that it's because we have nothing to blog about. In fact, the exact opposite is true. Though wedding season has been winding down, we've been bombarded by family portraits for holiday photos and meetings with clients for next year. We're booking up fast for 2009 and it's hard to believe our little studio opened it's doors less than a year ago!

So.. blogs are coming. In fact, we're going to try to do one-a-day until we get caught up (which will be more than a few)! We figured we'd start with a TGIF post, though. We've had a bunch of client meetings in the last couple of weeks, and lots of people ask us what we shoot when we're not shooting weddings. The funny thing is, our personal photography is very much in line with the stuff we do professionally.

We take pictures of people.

Here are a few photos from the last couple of weeks that we took without an appointment. We think you'll find there's not a thick line drawn between our personal and professional tastes...
