WOOHOO!!!



This was a total surprise to us and we're psyched that so many people appreciate the work we do. I know, I know, it's not first, but hey, it's only our second year in business and last year we won third place, so we're really moving up in the world!! Great big thanks to everyone who voted, it really means so much to us... YOU ROCK!! Let's try for first next year, how cool would that be!?!

Here's the ad I placed in this week's New Haven Advocate to say thank you for all the votes, support, love and encouragement...

pigtails and dolls

Yeah! I've had the most exciting day at the studio because I had some special visitors to brighten my day! Yup, you guessed it... my favorite twin girls! Emmie and Allie (and mom, of course) decided to surprise me with a visit and lunch at the studio!!! Can I just say... greatest girls EVER!!! I can't even imagine life without them. They totally rock my world and make me so unbelievably happy. And, of course, what's a visit with the twins without taking photos of them... I just couldn't resist the pigtails and dolls. They're just so damn cute!

Guess what??

Exciting news for JAGstudios!!! WHAT !?! I can't tell you yet, that would be too easy... let's wait a week, then we'll have a bit of suspense and it'll make the news even more exciting! Here's a hint... make sure you check the New Haven Advocate this week and next... OK, FINE... I'll give a bigger hint than that... Here's the ad in this week's paper...

Yo! Bro!

Here's the shots of my younger brother Michael. If you haven't figured it out already, the music on the JAGstudios website and the Capture Cross Country website is all Mike's. He's working on a new album and we needed to get a few promo shots for it. Neither of us were really up for shooting considering he's usually away at school and we don't get to hang out that often. So we just shot in some quick bursts while we chilled at my studio, on a hike and of course I snapped some at his show in between. It's seriously a constant collection of images with him. You can find the link to his site in the right hand column of my blog. Definitely check it out and if you get the chance - his live shows totally rock. I think the one at the top is my favorite image, I love shooting out in the environment, you just can't beat those natural tones and textures, although as scary as it sounds... peeling lead paint rocks too. Enjoy!
