Our new studio signs are up!

The new signs are here! Now that we've been in the downtown Stillwater portrait studio for 7 months, we figured we should put up some signs for the busy season. If you're looking for parking spots, head toward the big elevator - there are always some secret spots there. Thanks to Randy from Art Guild Gallery we now have a big beautiful Judd Sather and Studio J Sign up at the back entrance and on the doors of our building. Judd was pretty excited to get them displayed before the St. Croix River flooded Stillwater. Check out that water level just below the lift bridge!

We'll see you in the studio!

Chris Nikki's kiss at the end of the night was totally interrupted by people carrying stuff through the room as loud as possible!

Sather Family Shoot

Here are some images from yesterdays outdoor family shoot with Jodi & boys. I swear they posed themselves for the butt shot... Great way to kick of the spring season! I love being outdoors again. -Judd

Sean + Katie: 03.18.2010: (Como Conservatory Gardens)

Talk about out of the box! Sean and Katie had their wedding in a tropical Jungle right here in Minnesota. We had a blast, got a little goofy and I almost went for a swim with the coy fish! When we left the jungle for the setting sun outside, we enjoyed 65 degree weather. Perfect day, and an awesome crew. Thanks Sean and Kaite!

Justin + Melody: Engagement Session in Stillwater

Justin and Melody were so great yesterday! It was a bit chilly and Melody's nose was getting a little red toward the end, but the green dress kind of draws the eye away from her Rudolph nose. Pretty sure we won't have another couple anytime soon that can do the "ride on the shoulders without getting muddy shoes on tweed jacket" move anytime soon. It is fun to spend a little extra time and get to know a couple -- like how unsettled Justin, the professor, was after he thought he left his AFLAC bag back by the train. Did you guys find it? Wouldn't want to lose that... I'm pretty excited about these images, plus my family is out of town so here I am at the studio at 8am on a Sunday! Crazy, but fun editing images like these! -Judd and Josh

Here is the link to order images The event key is Melody's last name.

Here is the link to pre-register to be notified when their WEDDING images are released (gift certificate will be emailed). Event key is Melody's last name also.

Professional Portraits

We have started doing professional portraits - contact us for more info - here is Meagan of Ambiance Wedding Consulting!

Aasta, Christopher & Chase

Little Aasta came in for 3-month images this week - I love the scarf shot - Sara was such a trooper fashioning a sling out of the scarf. She was kind of like MacGyver without the duct tape, of course.
Christopher and Chase are perhaps the two smiley-est kids we have ever captured. With "Gap Kids" good looks and teeth about to fall out, we got these fun images on a crisp March day! Papa Mitch had amazing articulation of Steve The Chicken's vocal cords too - wish I could have had that on video. :)

Hawaii

We're thinking of our couple today who had to postpone their wedding in Hawaii scheduled for tomorrow...
