Well, it's about time we showed you guys the new studio space, eh?We wanted to reveal it last month, but we were waiting for our new chairs to come in (you can see them there, thank you Golden Age Design). Then we were waiting for the perfect small table to fit between them (thank you Target). And now we're waiting for the perfect rug. But frankly, we're tired of waiting! So we're showing it to you anyway!I suspect there will be several layout changes as we experiment with the furniture, but in general, it is such a wonderful feeling walking into this space for a a shoot. We both feel so fortunate to have this little corner of Minneapolis to ourselves. Enjoy! We have had a few inquiries about rentals. We are still sorting out the rates and the procedures, but we are renting it out for shoots. If you are interested, for sure let us know!

In the midst of a fall full of family sessions, commercial work and editorial shoots, I've also worked with a few high school students taking their senior portraits, and the sessions have been so much fun! Hearing about their plans after high school is always so interesting (Traveling abroad! Deciding on colleges! Exploring careers!), and it's inspiring to hear about people's hopes and dreams for themselves.Below are a few photos from a few different sessions!

Lucy and I were in the studio this week working on the official Shuttersmack holiday card. If you've gotten one of these in the past, you know they star my girl Magda. But this year was a bit more challenging as the "extra large" costume wouldn't fit around my sweet Vizsla's broad chest. We women face so many wardrobe challenges!If I'd only had some gold chains, we could have made her look like a Jersey elf! Anyway, I thought you all would enjoy the outtake! I hope you had a wonderful Halloween.For your internet shares of the day:+ Did you hear about the new Ben and Jerry's flavor? I might have to indulge.+ There's a new Conor Oberst song.+ Awesome autumn dinner idea!
