Today we had a quick model session with Lydia because her mom received an email from us. The message we sent to many local families asked for models between the ages of 2 and 12 for our new studio at Carnation City Mall. No cost, and we would actually give them a free 5×7 for coming in for us to see if we could use them on some new photo items. We know what items that we want to purchase – we just need some cute models for these items.

Here is a comment that Regena said about our services and her daughter’s time at our Mall Studio – Catchlight.

Hey Nicole!! I just wanted to say thank you for sharing some time with Lydia and I! Bruce did a fantastic job with her today and Lydia hasn’t stopped talking about him yet!!! This was a great experience for both her and I and I can’t wait to do some more soon!! – Family photos may have to happen in the spring
Have a great weekend
Regena and Lydia too!

Thank you Regena – we are looking forward to some more fun with Lydia at the studio. Let us know when you are ready for Family Portraits and we will make certain that everyone involved will have a great time, as Lydia did today.

Another very successful Santa Claus and Pet Portrait day at Carnation City Mall last night. We had many furry friends turn out for a portrait, and a treat, with Santa Claus. The dogs that showed up were Rottweilers, Pug, 2 Doberman Pincher, Chiwawas and other mixes as well – plus we cannot forget the one feline that made an appearance as well. One thing was certain, all of these pets were loved by their parents, and they wanted to make certain that they had some great images of the furry family member as a keep sake.

Thank you to all for making this a GREAT success. This is an event that we will continue to do in the future, but we will be making it bigger and better. To those that signed up with us for more information on pet portraits, you will get first notice on all our pet specials, and events geared towards your furry companions.

This is our second chance to photograph Michelle and her family. We attempted to photograph her immediate family at her in-laws house 2 years ago, but the weather did not cooperate several times so we changed the outdoor session to a studio session.

This year was different – not the weather, but its timing. Saturday had rain, but it was quick and not having rain for about 2 weeks prior to this allowed the ground to soak up the water quickly so that we could get some images of the extended family.

Everyone showed up on time, and their clothing was a coordinated effort. This was great, and the images show what coordinating clothes means for a family picture. The initial look at the image makes your eye go towards the faces of everyone in the picture, and not to what they were wearing during their family session.

What a great keepsake for all that were in the portrait. Grandparents always love hanging images of their grandchildren, and sometimes of their children too.

Last night we attended Hero’s Night at the 356th Fighter Group Restaurant in Canton to celebrate the men and women who have joined the Marines and will soon be going off to boot camp to start their training.

There was music, prizes to be won and some

wonderful food from the restaurant. Also, we were there to offer pictures and we brought our print on site equipment (Pro Lab quality images). All in attendance were amazed by the quality and the speed in which we were able to capture and print memories for the parents and new recruits to share for years to come.

Here are some of the images that we captured last night.

We are opening a second location in the Carnation City Mall. This location has been called “Catchlight” so that we can easily distinguish between our main studio (on Main St. in Alliance) and the new location.

As of now our hours are Thursday & Friday night 4PM – 8 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 7 PM and Sundays from 12 PM to 5 PM.

The new location will be used for quick portraits, event photography for the mall as well as pass out literature for our main studio.
