Birthday Boy…

I am not sure why #4 has hit me as hard as it has, but my baby boy is another year older.? As much as any child can test his parents patience, and he does, Brayden is a complete joy and amazes me every day.? I am so proud to be his momma.? And he would like to thank all of his buddies who came over to celebrate his day with him.

Orange Glow…

This summer we have surely seen our share of crazy weather.? It seems like thunderstorms are apart of our daily routine.? The other night as I was putting the boys to bed, there appeared to be an orange like glow around the house.? It was as though the sky was on fire.? Mother Nature, playing more games.

Lake Minnewaska…

One of our favorite places to go for a day with the family and dogs, Lake Minnewaka.? People from all over come here to swim, hike, bike and climb.?? We had some enjoyable weather on Sunday, so we hit the trails.? Kids and dogs took a nice long nap when we got home ;)

This August, Surprise Photography will be opening? “Surprise Photography Design Studio” in Poughkeepsie.? This space will not be a photo studio, but a gallery to display all my new goodies as well as to meet with clients.? My mission with the new studio is to help make the the post session process, as smooth as possible. To help you make the right decisions when it comes to the visions you have for your home and how to incorporate fine art into it.? For my brides, it will be a place to meet and discuss your wedding as well as see samples from some of my recommended? vendors.

I am very excited about this new venture, it is something I have been dreaming about for sometime now.?? If you want to take a sneak peek, feel free to head over to Waddle n Swaddle on Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie. Or if you would like more information about the space, please feel free to email me at melissa@surprisephotography.com.

Be sure to stay tuned for the Grand Opening Party details!

I LOVE Canvases…

FedEx man made another fantastic delivery yesterday, 2 lovely canvases.? One of my clients called me up looking for a special birthday present for his wife.? My first question was, “What kind of ‘Best husband in the world’ do you want to be?”?? He picked a lovely 16×20 gallery wrap, which she has since gotten and absolutely loves.? Score one for the hubby! The other canvas is one I wish I could keep for myself, in fact I am thinking sample because I love it so much.?? I am sure mommy will love it more though.
