Get your tickets fast! Eric & I are attending the 5th Annual Modern Phoenix Home Tour. We’ve gone for the last 3 years and always have a blast. Since we LOVE unique architecture this is right up our alley. When would you ever get another chance to view modern & mid-century homes that you may have passed by wondering ‘Wow…I’d like to see what’s inside and how they did it or the underlying concept!.’ Well now’s your chance. There’s also a fab. Expo on Saturday where local artists will be showcasing their eco-friendly artwork & products along with plently of door prizes! Purple Nickel is giving away TWO door prizes…woo hoo! Yep that’s right! Another post will be coming shortly with all the yummy-ness! Stay tuned…

A few weeks ago we posted a sneak peek shot from Rhonda & Jerry’s Wedding where we photographed them holding a fun fisheye toy camera…well drum roll please…………the film (yes I said film…weird…I haven’t used that word in ages) is back and here’s just a sample of what they got! We loaded the camera up with a roll of good ol’ 35mm color and gave them the funky task of going around taking shots of their very own!  What ever they wanted.  Jerry was so into it.  Holy cow some of these are so random and freakishly centered! Looks like they had a private session of their own in the ‘getting ready’ room. Meow…LOVE IT.  Check em’…

Phew…I’ve been running around like a crazy woman these days. Spring season is in full swing and it’s getting harder & harder to juggle this whole ‘two’ job thing. Yeppers that’s right I still work a regular 45 hour gig on top of p+Ni. Let’s just say I keep the long list of things to do either on my post-its or in my silly little mind…LOL. Ok enough venting. On to another spectacular me2 session with a funky fresh family. Amber & Nathan Hatch run their own business (a low voltage company that installs home theaters & lighting) up in Phoenix…SO COOL!!! Mom gets major props for totally working it. She’s a DOLL…and I’m so happy they had as much fun as we did. Devan & Lucas were so silly together and couldn’t get enough.  We’re so thrilled because they let us choose the location and it’s one we’ve been wanting to shoot at for 2 years now…but never found the right client. BINGO. It’s great to be patient = getting what you want…Ha. I don’t always like to be soooo patient but these days our new clients (aka…super cool new friends) are giving us total creative reign. This = pure photography bliss!!! Yeeeee-haw. It’s like trust us…we’re artists DUH! That’s when we really get to SHINE. Can’t wait to share this architecturally splended shoot with you all.

Sattler family…you ROCK!  We can’t believe what we got.  Why you ask?  Cause little brother Kyle was all over the place…LOL. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.  The Sattler family is such an absolute joy to be around. Everyone has completely different personalities but when together they all just mesh into one big happy crowd!!!  Big sis Audrey just melted our hearts with her silly gestures and lovableness.  And her brother Kyle…lets just say he’s a typical boy.  He would find random junk as we went along and wanted to take every piece of metal home.  I’m sure glad that Uncle Matt decided to tag along and help rangle these goof balls…especially for some shots together with their favorite dude!  We can’t wait to see all the MOD displays Eric’s designing to finally go up & fill their empty walls.  We’ll for sure take shots of the final outcome.

Yeppers…it’s us!  Last Sunday we had the pleasure of meeting up in Scottsdale with Heidi Fazio…who came all the way from ‘freezing cold Minnosota’ with her family.  But they weren’t in town for just us…LOL.  They were on a family trip to get some much needed warmth and sun rays.  I bet they didn’t wanna go back either. Heidi & I belong to a photography forum that Skye Hardwick workshop attendee’s all follow and that’s how we met.  Woo hoo for cyber space.  Anyhow she contacted us awhile back about a potential ’session swap’ and we were totally up for it.  We haven’t had any recent pics since the fall and so we thought it was perfect timing.  Plus we wanted to re-visit a little hot spot of ours ‘Safari Drive‘ that’s totally modern and has amazing details & lighting…I think Eric would give one of his arms to live there.  No seriously.  And I would give a toe.  Here’s just some quick favorites I put together while going through our images.  More to come of course. As well as the Fazio family shots too!  Click on the image to be taken to Heidi’s blog where she showed off her favorites.  It’s so interesting to see what people are drawn to when editing.  That’s what’s so cool about ’swaping’…you get a feel for another photog’s shooting style.
