DEVON VETERINARY HOSPITAL

Devon Veterinary Hospital has just created a stunning remodel and asked me to show it off a bit. Check out the custom tilework, that gorgeous entryway fountain, and all the little touches that only pet lovers would think of including. (Essential Imagery’s pet photography also graces the walls of their new facility.)

Stop by their Open House on August 1st from Noon to 4 to see everything for yourself!

THE PERFECT SUMMER RECIPE.

This makes a tasty little side dish for two, and is Weight Watchers friendly (not that I’ve been rocking the WW, or anything.) Grab a freshly-picked tomato from the garden, chop a handful of basil, and mix with 1/4 cup of fresh mozzarella.  Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and voila.  Bon appetit!

DOUBLE EEP!

If I could put into words how much I love these two studio images, I would be a novelist and not a photographer.

SUMMER IS FOR LOUNGING.

Summer is for taking it easy and having a bit of downtime, which is precisely why I’m off to Europe for the next few weeks, and why Haunani is off to Hawaii.

The studio is closed through August 10th, when Essential Imagery will resume late summer and autumn portrait shoots for your lovely families and pets!

If you’d like to experience my European adventures with me, head on over to the Facebook page.  There will be plenty of pain au chocolat and other delights there soon.  Regular blog posts will continue through the magic of the interwebs, so you can keep hanging out on the blog, too. ;)
