Normally I wouldn't update so soon, but I definitely want to this time…read more We got married a month ago on Tuesday. Today in my hands I hold our wedding photograph dvd. He finished them in a little over a month and got them to us very quickly. I can't even express how impressive that is, considering how much work goes into editing a photo and the amount of time it takes. I could see 4 weeks easily if it were the only set he was working on, but I'm very impressed that it only took him 4 weeks when I know for a fact he was working on several weddings (and shooting more) at the same time. In case you weren't impressed by his turnaround time already: My husband's cousin got married 2 weekends before us. She hadn't seen a single professional photograph as of last Sunday, whereas I had already sent people links to all of the photos on Steve's website. I have all of mine now and she said she thought it would be a while before she got to see anything. Thank you Steve for all of your hard work!

Stephen was prompt in answering and was willing to work around my timeline, and time of day?.read more

Being an amateur shy "model" in my beginning phases I had no idea what to expect when I reached out…read moreto set up a photo shoot with Chris . As I had other photoshoots but as I would later come to find out none like this . Not only am I a beginner I am a plus size model that comes with its challenges one of the biggest being my insecurities and self esteem issues . But I would soon come to find out that this wasn't just anytype of photoshoot and just some photographer trying to pass time taking photos as a hobby to build a portfolio. He was invested , professional, and most importantly for me compassionate. The compassion was a big piece for me because of the insecurities and self-esteem issues about my body but that quickly melted away it wasn't even like a photo shoot it was like it turned into an artist painting on a canvas and as such things went smoothly just like that from there . It felt like the whole world had just disappeared in that moment as I posed with the air slightly hitting my face with my eyes closed . It was the most beautiful part of the shoot ( the bedsheet and bed poses ) . Time and time again I come across my photos and I relive the moments of every shot I took with Chris. I can honestly say I cannot wait for what the future holds and to have this experience again would be amazing . I have never felt so good so alive so ...I mean I can't even in words tell you really I want it all over again...and again and then some ....

There is free parking available in parking lots across from entrances on South and Lovell streets. The museum wasn't busy when we were there, which was nice as we were able to leisurely wander the galleries. It's not a huge museum, but I loved the Kyungmi Shin: A Story to Finding Us exhibit (through May 12, 2024). The artworks were stunning and I loved trying to find hidden images in each. The other main exhibit was American Realism: Visions of America, 1900-1950, which didn't resonate with me personally as much, but it was still interesting to see. The permanent collection downstairs was nice - I especially liked the Tiffany lamps and jewelry. There is a Chihuly sculpture hanging in the entryway, which is really cool to see. The gift shop is nicely curated with lots of great books, gifts, and more. Nate got a cute little cat shaped ceramic chopstick rest!
