Vivian Joy Cruz


One of my dearest friends gave birth to a little girl today! St. Patrick's Day! It is also my other very dear friend's birthday (her sister)! What a day. It started very early with a phone call at 4am that labor had started and off I went to the hospital.


Vivian was born at 9:04 am with very little effort on her mom's part. It was an amazing thing to see! Everyone is doing well! Here's a picture of me holding her moments after she was born! So cool!!!!! Have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Road Trip

Walter and I made a trip to Cuyahoga Falls yesterday to visit Visualizations Photography. Aaron and Joanna Patterson, the owners, are friends of ours. They asked us to come to their studio and give them some advice on how to take better photographs and better utilize their camera room. They said they have always admired Walter's photography and they valued our opinions.

We had a really great time there. We spent most of the day there. It was fun helping a photographer think outside the box for a change. I think we really opened his eyes to some new techniques and showed them some areas they had right around their studio that they had never utilized. Especially their outdoors. They said if there aren't leaves on the trees, they don't go outside for portraits. I think we really changed their perspective on that one. We showed them lots of neat things to photograph in the snow! Things Walter loves to do. I hope we helped them out. They will be coming to our studio in April to see how we do things. We'll keep you posted!
