I was perusing this month’s Better Homes and Gardens magazine while having breakfast this morning and an article on walking inspired today’s post. Did you know that the average American woman walks more than 50,000 miles in adulthood? That is enough to circle the Earth twice!! Walking has always been my favorite form of exercise. Even though I have ready access to a pool and have started a somewhat feeble attempt at running on a regular basis; walking is the activity I enjoy most and am least likely to not talk myself out of doing. I love nothing more than striding along, taking note of the changes in my neighborhood, smelling banks of blooming roses and admiring cute dogs being taken on their walks. Somehow all of my senses are much more engaged while walking than when running. It’s the perfect melding of physical exertion and therapy. I’m tying up the laces on my favorite walking shoes and hitting the pavement as soon as I post this. If you happen to be doing the same, and pass me on the street, be sure to say “hi”!

Don’t forget to wear something pretty under your wedding dress. Great for us photographers – really great for your groom!

This planet gives so much to us, but what do we give back?

The Nature Conservancy helps answer that question with these simple tips we can employ in our everyday lives.

For instance, did you know only 1% of Earth’s water is drinkable?! One of their tips is called Short Shower Saturday and it’s super easy to do; simply keep one shower a week down to 5 minutes or less.

Please check out these tips and pass them along. The Earth will thank you!

We are so pleased to announce that we’ve added a Bar & Bat Mitzvah gallery to our website!

To commemorate our entree into the wonderful world of Mitzvahs, we are giving away a full leather, 7×7″ coffee table style album. This little beauty retails for $650 and get this, we are giving away not one but two of them!!

Winning one could not be simpler, all you have to do is be one of the next two clients to book our services for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Not only will we include the album but we’ll help you design the perfect story to be displayed within it.

Please contact the studio to check availability and for rates.

We are so excited to let you know that our website got a mini make-over!

We are showcasing lots of new photographs in our Wedding, Details & Engagement galleries. In addition to lots of fresh images, the photos have been enlarged; making for a more delicious viewing experience.

Enjoy perusing!

I thought I would offer you something a little different for April’s Print of the Month. Instead of featuring something from our travels, here is an image recently created as part of a new series I’m working on.

I can’t tell you too much about it yet. It’s still very much in its infant stage but I couldn’t resist sharing it and hopefully getting some feedback from you.

If you would like to add this to your photo collection, please contact us at the studio or click here for details.
