October 23, 2009 // portraits
Let me break it down for you.

My studio has fabulously painted walls, I, in my let's make things as complicated as possible wisdom picked the hardest colors to paint - yah, I rock at that.
Setting up the studio was a crazy time, we jumped in to the new place quickly, it basically had to be rebuilt and I was out of town for most of it. But, there was Duane, who, six coats of paint later was still smiling, doing a fabulous job and putting my mind at ease.
Duane is the owner of The Painting Machine, a business which I quickly learned has a phenomenal reputation. I can't recommend them them enough.
Duane was pretty stoked for his family session and so was I. It turns out his wife Kristy works at Karen's Kids day care (no, silly not mine, do you really think I could even daydream about running a daycare,) where my office manager. Christine's daughter is about to embark on a new adventure. Kristy is also my photo assistant Joanne's best buddy so I heard how great and what a stunner she was (yah, Kristy, you are gorgeous.)
But even better than Kristy and Duane are their offspring . Thanks girls for getting this cable tv newbie all sorted on what to watch and I look forward to coming to your dance performance this year.

A delicious family.
