Kathi,
Thanks for the kind words on facebook.
As always, we loved photographing you and the girls and appreciate the fact that you came home from Dallas to do this.
We are honored!

Cute. Loving. Sweet. Caring. Beautiful. Tender. Happy.
1000 words cannot describe the feelings of this family.

ywca woman of the year

Our sincere congratulations to Janet Cordell, the Enid, YWCA "Woman of the Year". When we photographed her last month, we realized that this is truly one person who has touched and bettered the life's of many. Enid is a far better place because of Janet and those like her!
If you have not made a trip to the YWCA lately, drop by and check them out. The remodeling and addition to the building is just great. Also look for the display of all the "Women of the Year" in the large meeting room, we know you recognize how blessed we are to live in Enid.

roland, aka "tom & tiddle"

To those who are on our e-mail newsletter list, last week Jolene showed you the "black & white" portrait of Roland for our "the Last ..." exhibit.
This is the color portrait he and his wife liked. Thanks!
For my blog readers, if know someone who is "the last of their kind", please let me know, I would love to photograph them at no charge for this new project.

the matouseks on the farm

Northwest Oklahoma is known for its generations that come from the farm, which is what I love about this portrait, 4 generations in fact. The skyline of Hennessey is an added bonus of design.
Thanks for a great opportunity as well as location

stacia, enid high school senior 2010

Stacia is our first senior for the class of 2010 (wow, did I just write 2010, it just seems like yesterday that it was 1999 and the computers were going to crash and create chaos January 1, 2000....oh well).
If you haven't seen her twirling portrait in the window, pop by.
For the other seniors out there, we are running a special, 4 sittings for the price of 1 if the order is placed before the first day of school.
Call us at 233-8322 to chat.

jillian @ 6 months

What a beautiful portrait. A great smile, with appropriate clothing and pose creating a timeless heirloom to be enjoyed by future generations.

ashley & keith, a couple from vance air force base

Great things happen to a community when incredible people join, even if it is only for a short time. Ashley and Keith are such. We even made a "Sooner" fan out of him.
Jolene and I wish them our best in their future!

keston's 3rd portrait from the grays in garfield county

Everyone who sees this portrait of Keston smiles, and the smiles are big smiles, what else could it elicit?

the move

A year ago today, we (with the help of many friends and family members) began the move into our new studio in Sunset Plaza. Although we had been looking for another location since 2002, nothing fell into place, that is until Catherine Costello called us. When Costello's took over more space for their dining room, the cost of this location became a possibility. After 3 months of remodeling and a week of moving, we were up and running. And now, a year later, we feel at home.
To all, thanks! Customers, friends, family, the Nicholas Investment Group and all of their helpers.
It is perfect!
