Happy Halloween!



We got some cute entries for our Halloween contest, thanks to everyone who sent in photos! Congratulations to Krystal, who is getting married in February for her winning entry of her as a Lion Tamer! Here's the photo she sent in below:



Love the action of her "taming" her dog Kamikaze. We also want to show an honorable mention of one of our grooms, Dave, for his rockin' photo as well.



This was fun, so we will definitely do some more contests in the future. Krystal- don't forget to email me what photo you want printed for your canvas :) Now that we showed you some of your photos, here are our costumes. Now, fair warning, we are dorks. If you didn't know that and already signed us, too late.



I was a cook, and Evan was....



....Marty McFly! So, yeah. I warned you. We can go a little overboard. I mentioned we also have a lot of fun carving our pumpkins so here is a compilation of the 3 we did this year, including my Jaws pumpkin, Evan's scary face, and the Rebel Alliance symbol which I made for Evan.



Have a Happy Halloween everyone, and this week we have a ton of blog posts to share, so stay tuned!

Contest Time!

by Evan and Caroline



As the weather is cooling, one of our favorite holidays approaches- Halloween! Evan and I tend to put a lot of thought into our costumes as well as carving our pumpkin. So, we thought it would be a fun to have a contest for all of our current clients to share the spirit with us. The winning couple will receive an 11 x 14" metallic thin wrap (like the ones hanging in the studio part of our office).

So, what do you have to do? From now until October 28th at midnight, submit a picture of your self in your Halloween costume to us via e-mail. Now, we know you all aren't photographers- that's why you're our clients right? So, we won't be judging you on how good the picture is. The things we will be judging you on are:

1. Creativity of costume. It can be store bought items put together or home made, we want it to be clever though and reflect your personality. We want to be able to say, "oh that's so Karen". And since you know us so well, you know you'll get extra points for humor.

2. Context of the photograph. We're not looking at composition or anything like that. But we want you to pose yourself in the picture in a way that relates to the costume. If you're a lion, don't stand up and smile at the camera, get your butt down in the grass and hunt for prey. Get it?

That's all! This is for all our current clients, and on Halloween we'll post the winner along with us in OUR costumes. Have fun, and we can't wait to start seeing your submissions!
