Red Carpets, pool chairs, and Love

Hello old friend. Well, at least that’s what my fingers are thinking as they rest upon the keyboard keys this morning. So, here’s my opportunity to be “that Guy” and rub it in the face of everyone reading that my entire past week was spent in sunny Florida, in pool chairs, great books, lingering conversations with my wife and the simple delight of knowing I was doing nothing and that was exactly all I had to do. But all good things must come to an end, but lucky for me last week’s good thing only lead to this week’s good thing of being back in the studio.

I like our studio, it’s welcoming and inspiring to me. In a weird let’s go sit on the “fifty yard line” quarterback kind of way. But needless to say, it’s good to be back.

On a side note there was some humor of going from 83 degree beach weather to 6 inches of snow in Baltimore. That snapped me back to reality real quick.

(gotta love phone pictures!)

Speaking of great weeks. The studio had a great event last weekend. Hopefully you were able to make it out to the Red Carpet Event. Close to 400 people walked down first street, making merry and simply enjoying a fun evening together. We were excited not only to get to share some time with friends and make new ones but to also collect over 900 pounds of food for Water Street Ministries as well as $300+ worth of cash denotations. So that night we ate and made merry but also rallied together to empowered others to do so as well.

But, true to nature. We had our cameras going and you can’t have that much fun without sharing. So, here’s a little slideshow of what happened.

Speaking of Sharing. Just a reminder to get us your love stories. Talk to us about what you love in or around 150 words and we’ll choose our favorite story and share our love of photography with you. So here’s the equation 150 words of what you love + our love of photography = somebody with a free portrait session. Deadline for entries is Feb. 7 and we'll announce the winners on the 8th. Click here for more details.

And last but not least. Our very own Anne Mohr is no longer with us. After recent events she decided it would be best for her to run off and marry the love of her life and now because of that she prefers to be called Anne Adams, so everyone please welcome Anne Mohr’s replacement Anne Adams to the studio.

But on a serious note, congratulations Anne and Taylor on your recent wedding, we hope you’re honeymoon is going amazing and that you’ve unplugged from Lancaster and haven't read this till you get home. See you back in the studio soon.
