M2 Holiday Party | Photobooth
January 12, 2012 By 2 Comments
Take a 10 minute break from whatever you may be doing. This is a long post, more pictures and less talking =0). Below is the second portion of our party, the photobooth. For our backdrop, we thought we'd try something a little different than what we normally use. Instead of using a white backdrop, we used a stenciled wall in our studio. Michael and I painted this wall maybe 2 weeks ago. After the wall was finished and no one killed each other in the process, I consider our marriage … [Read more...]
M2′s first studio/holiday party
January 11, 2012 By 5 Comments
Welcome to our new home. What better way to start off the new year, new studio, and new home than have our first holiday party! Having a holiday party also pushed us to get our house in order in less than 5 weeks. Ha! That was a challenge in itself. If you know us, you know that we have twin girls and know that I have an obsession with buying things (within my means of course), but you know how much stuff we have, haha. For the first 4 weeks, the only room organized and ready in our … [Read more...]

October 21, 2011 By 6 Comments
What is new with M2? Well a couple things really. First up, our new additions. I officially announce that we recently added two talented photographers, Jennifer Baumann and Tom Pappa to our wedding photography team. We've hired them to shoot weddings for us in the upcoming years for dates that Michael and I are already booked on or not available to do. Why Tom and Jen? Well, we've been keeping an eye on them for over the last 6-9 months ( I like to compare it to a high school baseball scout, … [Read more...]
M2′s second workshop, a success! Camera Cupcakes, a double success!
April 11, 2011 By 1 Comment
This past Saturday, we held our second workshop. I would say this was a successful workshop. We had an awesome new group of aspiring photographers. Everyone was eager to learn, which we like! First, let's spend a long minute talking about my cupcakes, lol. I wanted to do something different and so I decided to make cupcakes with mini cameras on top. Looks simple right? No, not quite. It wasn't that they were hard to make, they just took hours to do. I was way in over my head … [Read more...]
M2′s first fantastical beginners workshop.
March 21, 2011 By 2 Comments
Saturday was our first ever photography for beginners workshop. Doing this workshop was something we enjoyed doing and will be doing more of in the near future. Our whole goal of these workshops is to simply give each student a better understanding of how to use their camera to make better images. The three hour class on Saturday consisted of seven students. The workshops we will be offering in the future will be 4 hours long and up to 15 students per class. We will soon have a … [Read more...]
Who won the photobooth?
February 24, 2011 By 2 Comments
To say that this has been a difficult decision would obviously be an understatement. First of all, we were surprised as to how many entries we got! We were impressed with the originality of the entries too. Even the method of delivery. Instead of an email submission we received a link to a blog post that our clients posted on their own blog. The cherry on top was the idea of their followers commenting on the post as to why they should win. Enough talk already right? Judging. The … [Read more...]

A glimpse back at last year’s portraits
January 18, 2011 By 3 Comments
I wanted to get this post up before leaving for Texas, but unfortunately I decided to pack at the very last minute, so that did not happen. Because of my procrastination, I am sitting in our wonderful friend Marjon's home at 10pm typing away, lol. Initially, Michael and I thought combining the portraits with the wedding photos to create one slideshow and one blog post. After going through the wedding images, I knew that wasn't possible unless I chose a ridiculously long song by Lynryd … [Read more...]
