We spent the morning with this sweet girl.

Our friend Shannon, from Shannon’s Pet Grooming, takes in foster dogs. This sweet Boxer, Tess, was brought back to the rescue through no fault of her own. She is an older dog, and partially deaf, but it does not seem to bother her. She is housebroken and loves affection!

Tess is very easygoing and moved back and forth between Shannon, Ed so we could all take turns petting her. She laid down and fell asleep while Shannon stayed to chit chat with us. She is a snorer! haha

If you or someone you know is looking for a dog, this sweet girl would be a great addition! To apply to adopt her, or another dog that needs a home, please visit http://onelifetoliverescue.com/ or their facebook page.

The Smith kids have been coming to us for a few years now.

We never know what is in store for us when they come. What usually starts out as traditional images quickly turns to something else not too far into the session.

We always have a lot of comments and replies on our facebook page when these two come to see us. They were the reason we needed an outtakes folder. We hope they come back for many more sessions!

We have been photographing this family since mom and dad’s engagement photos. This session wasn’t Christmas specific, but little Miss was loving our Frosty, so we had to break out the snow scene.

I can’t believe how big she has gotten already! I love that we get to see so many kids grow up. I’m truly honored to be able to document all of the important milestones in a family’s life.

Happy New Year! As another year starts, it is already so full of new, different, and exciting things for us! A new studio, a new location, new neighbors, and some new structure for our business.

If you are in the area, stop in to visit us! We’d love to give you a tour! We are planning an Open House to show off the new studio as well. That will be March 4, so mark your calendars!

It’s a little strange for me actually getting up and going to work again. No dogs wrestling at our feet or whining to go outside.

We are loving our neighborhood! Lots of little shops and businesses in the area. Across the street is Why Not Designs, which is owned by our friend Angela. She’s got lots of bling and other cool things to get your ‘girlie fix’. We will be doing some cross promotions with her later this month, so stay tuned!

Due to some trouble with people scheduling, then cancelling or not showing up, we have to put in place a Cancellation Policy. Effective today, session fees are due at the time of booking. If the session is cancelled more than 24 hours before the session time, you will have two days to rebook. If the session is a no show, or is cancelled that day, then the session fee is not refunded. We also now have a minimum purchase of $150 per session.

We have also changed up our Incentive Program! Any returning client will receive their choice of a 10×13 or 11×14! Spend just $300 and receive an accordion book! Spend $600 and receive a group of 3 accordion books! Spend $1000 and receive an 11×14 thin wrap. These are new to our lineup. Stop in and check them out! We also still have our referral programs in place. Refer a friend and you each receive a free sheet with your session. The Senior Rep program has been tweaked, and we think this one is the best one yet! That  has been rolled out on facebook, and I’ll post about it here this week some time.

So many changes, but so many things will stay the same. You will still get the same awesome images that you have in the past. Ed and I will still give you a fun session, with images that you will love for years to come!

With that, I’d also like to say thank you to our kids who helped us get the new place ready in such a short amount of time! We never would have gotten it done without their help! So, thank you Dana, Shelley, Jess and Donnie!

I’ve known Dani for a few years. She plays soccer with my daughter. Over the winter, when we aren’t as busy, we like to bring in some people to model, just so we can try different lighting, poses, techniques, etc. It ended up being pretty cold the day we scheduled for Dani. We stuck to some downtown Scranton buildings to use for backdrops. We had fun driving around while we tried to warm up in between shots.

I think Dani did a great job! Her inner model came out and she started getting into it!
