I’m so excited to share with you that I’ve started a new blog. This LOVELY blog you’re reading now is not going anywhere! We’ll still post our lovely sessions and what we’re up to at the event studios here. But now…you can enjoy reading another lovely blog called I Love Farm Weddings. It’s a blog devoted to all things farm weddings – inspiration, DIY ideas for a farm wedding celebration, features of real couples on their farm wedding day (just like Cerah and Brian who we recently photographed at their fabulous farm affair). Between our joy of photographing weddings and our love affair with the beauty and charm of farm life, it seemed like a perfect pairing with the event studios’ photography business. I am so looking forward to bring you fresh and unique ideas, beautiful inspiration and have some fun along the way. Be sure to check it out!

Sometimes it’s hard to narrow down previews to share from photo sessions because I love ALL the photos from a session. Case in point – this absolutely lovely and happy family. So instead – I’ll share a bunch! These two boys were such sweet brothers, each with such playful smiles and happy hearts. And you can just see the love pouring out of mom and dad for these two boys. So precious. I had such a wonderful time capturing this family’s love and affection for each other.

what a great monday morning to wake up and find that our recent stripes-filled birthday party was just featured on the fabulous party planning blog – Sara’s Party Perfect. You might remember we were equally excited when last year around this time, we were featured for our oh-so-girly 1st birthday celebration – you can reminisce here! it is so fun to plan for a party and then see it all come together, both in design execution and most importantly, in smiles on our guests faces!
you can see more photos on our blog post (below) or visit the event studios on Facebook for a glimpse of MANY more fun filled photos. and while you’re there – LIKE our page to stay tuned for more great events in the future!

I had the PLEASURE of creating and planning a special birthday party, celebrating not one, but TWO, gorgeous little ones…a party for my daughter and my nephew who share their birthday. i decided on a stripes theme – even requesting our guests to wear striped attire (a BIG thank you to all of our guests who happily obliged!), with orange, white and pink as my primary colors for the decor. and what party of mine would be complete without a photo booth?!?
it was a wonderful day for the kiddos and adults alike! here are a few photos from our happy and striped-filled morning together. so much fun!!!

jack and kate are two precious little ones who I had the pleasure of photographing at my studio recently. I love the progression that happens during sessions with young children. at the start of the session, I usually get some reluctant looks and stares, and by the end I’ve made friends with these lovely kiddos. it’s pretty amazing I get to play trains with jack and admire precious little kate as part of my job! how adorable are jack and kate?!?
a practical and lovely electronics roll

One of the things we love to do around here is make things…especially fun and simple sewing projects. So when my good friend was telling me she needs a better way to store her many cords and chargers for her electronics while she travels (she travels back and forth between Minnesota and Australia for work and brings lots of electronic goodies), I immediately dragged her to my craft room and had her pick out some fabric. We decided I’d make her an electronics roll – kind of like a crayon roll for adults. Sure enough, about 30 minutes later, we had a simple fabric roll ready for her to pack for her next trip. It’s great because when it’s really full of cords and chargers (it has 6 pockets of various sizes), she can just fold it in half and lay it in her suitcase. When it’s less full, she can actually roll it up and put it in her day bag to keep her organized. Organization + cute pouch = SO MUCH FUN!
You just might find some of these make an appearance in our etsy shop! what do you think?

vivian and i had a great photo session together to document her first birthday. she was definitely an explorer – it’s so precious to watch new little legs walking! this was our third session together over the course of her first year. I LOVE multiple sessions with clients. it allows me to really get to know a family and document their relationships in a meaningful way. so fun.
happy first birthday vivian! the event studios wishes you many more years of fun and happiness ahead!
planning an orange, pink, and white striped party!!!

I can’t believe a year has already gone by since I planned my most favorite first birthday party ever (if you missed it – you can enjoy it here). and now I’m in the midst of planning another party – this time to celebrate both a precious two year old and her precious one year old cousin since they share a birthday! pretty special. i thought i’d share a few of my “plans” for the party!
THEME: stripes! orange, pink and white stripes! why? it’s fun. allows lots of variety in the decor. bright and happy – perfect to represent the cheerfulness of the birthday duo. pink for the ladies, and orange for the gents, with white to give some balance and visual space. I’m even going to ask the guests to wear stripes! why not get people involved?!?
here’s a quick image board of ideas that represent the theme of the party. you’ll have to stay tuned for photos of all the details from the big event! we’ll be sure to share in about a month. we sure do love event planning around here (you can’t even imagine how excited i was to get pink and white striped compostable straws from etsy!). so much fun!

recently at the event studios, we had a great opportunity to partner with The Source Salon + Spa of Tucson, AZ for their April 2011 ad campaign. It was exciting to be able to publish one of our photos in their ad, since we love the salon’s mission – Beauty for You, Beauty for Earth. The salon uses all organic products and eco-friendly practices. If you are EVER in Tucson, you should absolutely go and enjoy a salon + spa experience with them.
