National Apple Harvest Festival

        
So first and foremost I wanted to send a special thank you to those who we had the privilege of shooting at the apple harvest festival this year!


 We had a blast, from watching the kids on the pony rides, to the antique car show. There was so much to do and so much to see. 




It was packed, but it was well worth the wait to get in. As you can see, we were not the only ones enjoying the applishous goodies.

                                             
And don't forget the entertainment, there was even a fellow teaching the kids how to make their own music from the old blue grass instruments or should we say objects... 




 I even found some things to satisfy my own family, a yummy candy apple for my husband and a Raven's beanie for my three month old baby girl. 

All in all it was a great productive day and we had a blast!

Hope we get you see your smiling faces next year! Heck you may be famous by then ;)

New Studio.... let the fun begin

With the expansion of Twisted Images Photography we have been throwing around the idea of adding a Studio so we can expand and do more studio work, rather then limiting ourselves to only on location work.


After throwing this idea around with my husband we came to the conclusion that we were gonna turn the basement into my studio. Hahaha....this was and is easier said then done.


You see...our basement resembles a Halloween Haven, which wasn't a problem up until this point because Eric and I are Halloween gurus. But for a studio, this certainly wasn't going to work. Bright pink insulation with bare beams showing for a ceiling and bright orange and black walls just were not going to cut it for a Photography studio.

So, starting two weeks ago we began to tackle the basement in hopes of turning the 'frat house' basement into my new and improved studio.



 Covering the insulation and bare beams with a wood ceiling, new lighting and wiring throughout, and new paint. Changing the look of the whole basement and making it look much larger and a lot better then before.
As you can see above the lighting looks amazing, it even inspired Eric to restore the bar he made a number of years ago. Of course it isn't done yet, but for only working on the basement for two weeks, I think we're getting somewhere quick.

Now that we have the ceiling, walls, hall, and lighting done. I am tackling the steps. These one hideous steps are now going to be a dark mahogany stained top with a cream face, to match the studio.

We're on a roll! Can''t wait to get finished and get to shooting in the new studio!
