Spring is here even if the calendar doesn't agree.

Here in the Sacramento Valley, the trees are full of blossoms. It is a great time for family portraits. The time window is small, the first week of March is going to be the best.

But no worries, if you can't make the time.

I was driving in the rain the other day and came across a beautifully landscaped pond and rock walls featuring arches in the middle of nowhere. It is the entrance to a set of new homes but off the beaten path and accessible for anyone to enjoy. I am planning on photographing our family there soon!

It's almost that time of year again.

Welcome to a new year. 2010 is is all ready a month old.

Matt and I have bee so busy in the last month accomplishing something that is monumental for us as a family, and as business partners.

We opened up our new studio, Flaunt Images in downtown Sacramento. It is located at 1123 18th street, near the corner of L Street. Matt is loving it. Already, he has shot the designer line of Caren Templet, a talented women's clothing designer in Sacramento.

In addition, we have been working diligently on our home studio location in Orangevale and preparing for the much awaited relocation from our Greenback location to our home studio.

The offices and shooting rooms are now complete. Next we tackle our larger studio building on the property. 2010 will be mean lots of hammering, sawing and painting. Sounds fun to me! The end result will be a super large main studio, where we can offer both indoor and outdoor poses during a regular session.
