The Open House was a great success , thank you for all those who attended, helped and most of all….. who dressed up for the Photo Booth! Eric and I have had this idea for quite some time so it was alot of fun to finally see all mustaches, pirate swords, and red tutu’s in action. Everyone who participated got to choose from our box of props and take 5-7 shots. We then emailed them the pics for free and use however they like! It was so much fun. Lots of laughter and ridiculousness which I personally love. We hope to bring this to some Friday nights so stay tuned!!
Here are a few favorites of the day!









And of course Eric and I participated as well…..

Kristine is so flexible and relaxed so this forecast didn’t even concern her. We hopped in a cab and popped around downtown with … Continue reading
