As of July 1st we have officially taken over the entire north end of the Art Gallery 66! In addition to the Snake Room we now also have the Lounge. Those of you who have been to the gallery know what I mean. Our frame shop, 66 Frames, will remain in the Snake Room but the Lounge will be become a consultation area to meet with my clients and a small section of it will become my office. The problem? Well, as you can see the Lounge was called the Lounge for a reason. With the purple and orange walls this was the smallest, darkest little room ever - not bride friendly. Really, just not friendly in general. The solution? Three days of repainting! Here’s some before pics.

Here’s Rick and Angela in the hall between the Snake Room and the Lounge. Rick is starting the first layer of primer.

Snake Room full of remodeling debris.

The main wall color is complete!

Time for tape and accent colors





How awesome are those cabinets?
Hint: the correct answer is “Wow! Those cabinets are sooooo awesome!”

Not bad for three days work!

Stay tuned for furniture…..

Valerie and Tony are actually getting married on July 12 in Los Alamos but they wanted to do this separate session at the UNM Duckpond with just the two of them. We wish Valerie and Tony all the best on their wedding day!

You’ve already met Laurie in her Bridal Session at Elena Gallegos on June 13. Last week on Friday I hooked up with Laurie and Sean in the Bosque for their Engagement Session. Rick was in Gallup, preparing to shoot a wedding in Rehoboth on Saturday so special thanks to my Mom for coming along to help out on the session.

More accurately, Introducing Marta, Aaron, Caitlin and Ashley! We shot this session last week on Tuesday at the Bio Park and I am a little embarrassed to admit that I had never been into the Japanese Garden area but I’m so glad that Marta wanted to go there because it was awesome!
