New Location, New Name, New Website, New BLOG

It has been an exciting journey, sometimes a little overwhelming, completing and opening our new photography studio located in Park Ridge. My dear husband John, my kids – Jay, Ellen & fiancée Chris and I have put countless hours of sweat equity to complete the new space. A big thank you for all that helped including Ed & Denise.

We are still in the process of completing those finishing touches and hanging prints on the walls. Soon I will post images of the new space. Our front sign construction has started and hopefully it will be completed by the open house. Every morning when I turn those keys, walk in the front door, I can’t help but do a little “happy dance” of joy. This is a dream studio space with so much to offer for my clients to customize your session especially for YOU!

Not only did we relocate, we have also adopted a new business name: poppyblue photography LLC. Many have questioned how we came up with the name “poppyblue”. So many names and URL are not available, so John and I brainstormed coming up with poppyblue. We think it is an upbeat name you would hear once or twice and remember it.

Friday evening on October 1 we will be having our Grand Opening Celebration. Details soon to follow.

Please stop by for a visit and come for a latte, we would love to show you around.

This session was indeed special. Colby and Zach got engaged the evening before their session! They are such a wonderful couple. Their sweet dogs also joined in for the engagement session all dressed for the occasion wearing their favorite Illini tie. The first image made me chuckle and melted my heart. There is nothing like a BIG dog who thinks they are a lap dog. I have one of those too in my home.
