Senior Model Kiah!
We were so excited to get back into the studio and kick off our High School Senior Seasons with an on-location photo shoot with our Senior Model – Kiah! A true natural in front of the camera and a delight to be around. As a senior model Kiah will be coming back to our studio to do her second senior session to have even more variety of photographs to choose from. Be sure to ask Kiah how to get a FREE session at the studio for your own Senior Portrait Session!
What are Your Positive Vibes these Days?
Holy. Moly.
What a year. I mean month. I mean two months?
Whatever the measure… just, holy moly.
If you’re like me some days were really good, and other days… really bad. The really
bad days didn’t even have anything monumental to contribute to the “bad”. It
simply was. But the good days were notable! The family took a walk. We had lunch
and dinner together. The kids played all day without fighting. I found everything I
needed at the grocery store for a new recipe. The sun was shining. All these things
we could cherry pick for our good days.
If you’re still like me you decided this time shall not be wasted! I made a
“Coronacation To Do” list and to my husbands dismay it was lofty and ambitious.
But guess what? We accomplished so much! I think what I love about these tasks is
that it grows my relationship with my husband. We work really well together. We
make a really good team! Don’t get me wrong… I tend to be more ambitious, but he
jumps right along side, no questions (generally) needed. I don’t want to look back
on 2020 and say, man Corona really tested me… I want to say “It grew me”. Do you
think the same? I love talking with my friends and hearing about their daily/weekly
victories. For me, I also made it a personal mission to adopt a new healthy habit.
The bad habits are the easy ones to create; it’s the good ones that need the effort.
Agreed? I’ve been longing for more opportunities to grow in my faith. Right before
Covid I had found a new rhythm in a women’s group at church. A few weeks into
Quarantine I was asked to help facilitate a virtual study with my daughter and some
of her friends. Ummmm… insert uncertainty here! But, it’s been so wonderful!
When the door to church (literally) closed, another opened.
Before Corona Wayde said something that stuck with me and I’ve used it with my
kids and my family, especially with all this extra time together. That is, “Grace given,
Grace received”. How perfect, right? As a family unit, co existing isn’t always a walk
in the park. But these people that live within your 4 walls are pretty darn special.
AM-I-RIGHT?? Bad day, sassy pants, and simply not in the mood? No worries, grace
received. Interrupted Zoom call and no quiet space to record that assignment? No
worries, grace given. These people are MY people and I’m so grateful to have had
this time to grow with them. But please tell me, how have you grown? What new
habits did you take on? Did you grow in your cooking abilities? What rituals as a
family will you still be implementing even after we go back to “normal”? I’d love to
hear about ‘em!
A Note from Wayde…
2020 marks 35 years of business for us! I am humbled by the opportunity to be a part of so many lives over the years. As we start sharing some of our favorite sessions from the past couple decades, some of the first people that came to mind were…Ryan, Ella and Sam! Truly some of the nicest kids you will ever meet. Children Portrait Highlights
Having known Gina (Mom) for almost 20 years I was elated when she started bringing her kids to us back in 2007. We’ve compiled a collection of portraits from their photo sessions over the years….so many sweet expressions and memories!
Thank you, Gina for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your children’s lives and document these precious moments.Children Portrait Highlights
– Wayde Peronto
Owner & Photographer
“As a mom, we go through our kids calendars filled with dental checkups, well child exams, and school events. I’ve also realized that I find myself making mental notes on the timing for their photo sessions. It’s become that much of a priority.
Even though this is an annual thing for our family, I never have to worry about what I am going to get. Wayde does such a good job capturing expression and poses at each and every session. Sometimes I decide to update their ongoing albums or I choose to update my wall portrait. I can look at each image of my kids from any session and remember the day, remember all of their giggles from Wayde’s jokes and it brings a smile to my heart.
If someone asked me what my most prized possessions are…hands down it would be the photographs I have of my children.“
– Gina Caprez: Mother of Ryan, Ella and Sam
