Summer Stone Studios

Last weekend proved to beyond entertaining in the studio! I would like to introduce you to Michaela Michael, and soon-to-be graduate of The Douglas Education School for Special Effects and Design. This girl has talent!

She has quite the range in her skills and there simply was not enough time to in our evening to cover every aspect of her technique. We were fortune to see some glam, the aged, the beaten and bruised and some of what we're lovingly referring to as the "B-rated horror flick" look. I was impressed with her ideas and how quickly she decided on what would look best for each model.

Check out more of the awesome-ness below...






The website for Michaela Michael is in the works! The moment it becomes live, I'll be posting it immediately.

Good times indeed for Summer Stone Studios.

My oh my...a huge congratulations goes out to Chris and Rachel! I was honored to be part of their wedding day adventures last weekend. The weather was perfect and this couple threw one incredibly memorable evening.

It's always a pleasure to get to know a new couple, and that's what I was fortunate to do months before their wedding. I got to see some familiar faces, including Liz (the twin) that has now been part of 3 weddings I've shot.

The family and friends were welcoming from the moment I arrived and I felt like part of the celebration all day. I appreciated the small touches of the Rachel & Chris's personality. The center pieces were darling and the "flowers" the guys wore were PERFECT!

I've never been to a ceremony where the priest recited how the couple met word for word. It was so adorable to watch their facial expressions and it was touching to hear their story.

What a day! And what a fabulous celebration in the woods after the wedding!

Thank you Chris & Rachel!

Here are a few sneak peeks for you!

Thank you to the Holyoke Hospital Auxiliary Board for inviting me to be their photographer last weekend. It was a lovely event full of sparkly gowns, handsome suits, live music and the best steak I've had in LONG time.

The view alone was worth the trip to Massachusetts!



I'd like to send a BIG thank you to my number one supporter and best assistant, Susie Cisek. This was her first event with me and I must say she handled the pressure rather well.



I enjoyed meeting everyone and I look forward to seeing you again next year!

My oh my! Time flies when you're working 50+ hours a week since August. BUT! Times have changed and all things lovely are looking up! I'm beyond excited to come back to what makes me happiest. I never left you, but life called and my passion had to sit and wait patiently....until now.

Fist of all, I want to send a HUGE congratulations to Rachel and Chris! These two cuties are gettin' hitched August 7th and I'm completely stoked to be part of their wedding day. Hopefully we can get some engagement shots done soon! ...hint hint wink wink....

Also, one of my most favorite couples had a baby. How blessed am I that I got to be around for some major milestones in their lives. The wedding was beautiful, the maternity shots proved to be one of my most enjoyable afternoons and finally meeting Baby Julia was the icing on the cake. Take a looksy...







Tien-Tien and Chris are such a delightful addition to my life. I can't wait to watch Julia grow up! Such a sweet family.

Summer Stone Studios has some big events coming up soon. It feels good to have the support of my friends of family. Now it's time to go big once again! This month we have band photos for Wry (go check them out!) and I'm shooting the Holyoke Massachusetts Hospital Auxiliary Gala. Time to get fancy!

Thank you for sticking around. I'll see you out there!
