I am very excited to announce that The Studio Noir has just joined the internet! Mine and Laura’s new studio, The Studio Noir, is finally up and running online for all to see. Please go check us out and show your support! <3

I recently did the photographs for Lynch Landscape’s brand new website (done by Cameron McPherson). Check out the site!

I made my favorite peanut butter cup cookies for a gift this weekend! Yum!

…And a snack the roommates and I made the other night with super spicy thai red chilly peppers and some basil that we picked fresh from our plants outside

Today Laura and I (The Studio Noir [website coming soon!]) finished designing our very first engagement album which will be used by one of our couple’s as the sign-in book for their wedding! We are very excited to see the hard copy when it arrives in a few days!

I have just been loving Discovery’s Lp they have out right now. They are so fun. Check them out!

So a lot has happened this past month. I have decided to partner up with a former classmate from photography school, Laura Widness, to start a wedding (and portrait) photography business. We have already started meeting with clients and signing contracts to do weddings for this year and for 2010. We are really psyched about the whole thing. The business’ name is The Studio Noir. We just purchased a website and have been working with a designer to come up with a logo and branding for our company. I will be sure to let you all know when the website is up and running so you can check it out.

We have also moved to a new apartment right outside of Boston where we have an in house office and consultation room where we can meet with future clients. Things are going pretty well over here with both Avenna Studios and The Studio Noir! Check back for updates soon!

A very cute couple whose wedding I shot a couple weeks ago in Central Massachusetts
