Our Home Studio
We’d love for you to come by our lakeside studio (by appointment) to discuss the details of your big day! But before you do, here’s a brief description of life by the studio. And make sure to scroll through our favorite shots from around our yard!
Blue and green herons visit us daily. Turtles move in and out, laying their eggs off the shoreline. Canadian geese and ducks nest on the pond, and some visitors, like Popeye the goose, are known to us by name. Two years ago, a family of eagles called the pond home and became the talk of the neighborhood. Orioles, humming birds, seagulls, sparrows, owls, woodpeckers, robins, cardinals, and blue jays can be spotted on any given day in June. Other critters like bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, and moles are a constant presence, while the occasional sightings of a red fox are cause for excitement.
Our yard is also home to apple, pear, and fig trees; and in the summer, flowers, grapevines, vegetable plants like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, as well as herbs like parsley and basil enliven the garden.
Many local residents fish here year round. In the winter, some folks even take up ice fishing.
There’s something so calming about being on this body of water. We forget what it feels like to be connected to nature. There’s a feeling of inner peace, gratitude, and awe. This environment teaches us to slow down mentally, to appreciate a moment, and to approach people and situations with openness and curiosity.
We hope you enjoy the photos!
