modern. fun. whimsy.

i am angel canary {hence the birds and all of the yellow}
what can i say except that i am eclectic in life and in my work. i like a variety of styles and looks which i think has helped me grow my business to a wide variety of clients. i like anything that has glitter and/or is pretty and girlie, steven and i both love anything vintage and we both rock out some serious photojournalist photos. mostly though, it's our clients that make our work fabulous because they are happy and joyful couples that let us be us. we love to document the wedding day and all of the little details that go along with it but we get to bust out the creativity when it comes time for the photographs of the couple and their family, friends and wedding party - creating one of a kind photos that reflect their style. we think our clients are pretty awesome.we work as a team, and we both see life differently - but that's great because we get the best of both worlds.

we are lucky that our clients let us be us, and capture them being them. we are lucky to love our job, and thankful that the world pays us to do what we love.

our studio is by appointment please

out with cheese and in with pizza

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

I wanted to write a quick little post about a little thing that I have been doing for about 2 years now to get kids smile – or at least look like they are. I wasn’t going to blog about this, well ever, but I have found that soooo many parents and grandparents LOVE the idea – so I’m sharing.

I was never a fan of making a kid say “cheese” just to show their teeth in a photograph. I wanted to find a way that, even if the child isn’t “really” smiling, it at least looks like they are. What do I make them say? PIZZA! The kids seem to love this word and some smile just at the thought of pizza – I mean really, who doesn’t like pizza?!? Also, since it ends with the “A” it automatically makes the lips curve up with they say it.

I’ve always been the analytical type, dissecting everything and asking why and how. For once, I think this thought process really paid off for me, because it works. Try it!

Here’s little two year old Gage saying “PIZZA!” It looks like he’s smiling, but he’s simply saying it.
