"Little Chris" & Family

Picture this.....

Our newest Studio E Family member, Chris, laying in a king size bed, out in the forest, pure white satin sheets, covered in bright red rose petals.... Yeah, I couldn't picture it either. :) So we decided to take some different angles during his session.

Chris is a West Point student hopeful and he plans to follow his Father's steps with a military career. When Chris isn't hanging out at the Outlet Mall, he's jamming to some 90's rock and chilling with his friends. We wish him the best and a very safe career!

We now welcome Chris' "supporting cast". Shortly after his session, we were able to get the whole family involved! We enjoyed a lovely afternoon on a pecan farm.

As you can see, Chris loves the couch... We'd also like to give a special Studio E Shoutout to one of our regular Blog readers, Emma (pictured above). Thanks for always stopping by!! We appreciate your support!!

We saw in today's Sunday paper the "Sun News Reader's Choice" awards are now in the voting stage. Please feel free to jot us down for your favorite Photo Studio!

Thanks as always for visiting! And please note... Only 12 more days till Christmas!!

Until next time,

Dennis

Closing Out The Top 3 in Third - Courtenay!

Help Us Decide!!

Alrighty viewers, we need to ask for your help. Wendy has been stopping by to visit with Karen Hansen's photography students here and there, and we decided to put their skills to the test. We asked these budding photographers to show of their Photoshopping abilities by utilizing an awesome photo of me, and to incorporate a texture of their own to create artwork promoting Studio E.

I've chosen my 10 favorites (it was hard! Honorable mentions to come soon) and have listed them below with a number assigned to each entry (they are in no particular order). Please take a gander and then vote for your favorite on the right side of the page. Your votes will help determine our winners. Help promote your favorites by sending you friends the link to our Blog so these kids can get maximum exposure!! If you have a Facebook or MySpace account, feel free to post your link to help get those ever so important votes!!

We'll leave the voting open through Sunday night, so let the voting begin!!!



Good luck to all. let's have some fun with this!!

Wanna Hear Something Dirty?

Jake in the mud!!! I know, awful isn't it, but it caught your attention! Jake is a senior at Mayfield High School and an avid 4x4'er. We could only keep him clean for so long before he decided it was time to get things a little muddy. He was a great sport for giving us a roll in the mud.

Jake is a future photographer himself, so who knows, he may be taking some one's senior pictures someday. Jake plans on continuing his education here in Las Cruces at NMSU, so we expect to see him around with his camera and/or Jeep. Thanks again for the fun session and good luck in the future!
Stay tuned as this weekend we will be needing your help with a fun and creative contest we had for the Mayfield Photography students.... More to come very soon!

Until next time,

Dennis

Would you vote for her?

I would!! Today we welcome Erika to our Class of 2010 Family. Erika attends Mayfield High School and is bound for NMSU after the summer. Erika has been involved with student government and looks to be elected as a State Senator in the future. She has our vote! Maybe she can pass law that states Studio E will always have the best looking Blogger!! :)

Erika is pretty active and enjoys kickboxing and karate. She says she will miss the relaxed and carefree lifestyle once her high school years are over (I agree, I miss those years). So if you happen to run into Erika out on the streets, be sure to shake her hand and congratulate her upcoming election campaign...she could be our next New Mexico Senator!!
We've started booking family sessions, so if you've been thinking about getting an updated family portrait and/or would love some fun, unique Holiday cards, contact us now as we are filling up fast.

As always, thank you for coming by and come back soon, we always have something to share.

Until next time,

Dennis

Happy Halloween!!

Wendy and I wanted to wish all you a Happy Halloween! Please be safe out there tonight. Have lots of fun, gets lots of treats and if you are driving, please watch out for the little ghosts/ghouls/humans running around.

I understand all the City Fire Departments are giving out free glow sticks, so if you are out and about, pick one up for your trick or treater to give them an extra way to be visible. We want you all to be safe and come see us soon for pictures!!

Enjoy the night and scare a grown up or two. I know I will.... *evil laugh*

Dennis

True BFF's!!

I honestly think that is the first time I have ever used the term BFF, but for these two best friends, it fits! Today we welcome Susan and Sowmiya, best buds from Las Cruces High School. They both represent the Class of 2010 and can be found hanging around town together. They both look forward to pursuing futures in the medical field and have had successful high school "careers".

Susan is a District & State record holder in swimming. She also admits to being an adrenaline junkie (she has bungee jump experience!!).

Sowmiya is a Bulldawg golf team member and has a Gadsden High Invite Championship under her belt.

These two are so close, rumor has it they've been known to call each other their own name (Susan calling Sowmiya, Susan, and vice versa). Scary, eh? :)

We thank both of them for allowing us to be part of the experience that is called "Senior Year" and wish them well on their future endeavors.

Stay tuned as we have plenty more to share. We appreciate you stopping by taking a peek at our work. Enjoy your day!!

Until next time,

Dennis

Let's Go For A Ride!

Our first fall wedding, brings us Maxine and Daniel. These newlyweds tied the knot on a lovely autumn afternoon in Mesilla. Daniel was all smiles prior to the ceremony, but between me and you, I think he was pretty nervous! He was even a little quick with the "I do" early in the ceremony, which gave all their family and friends a laugh.

Their reception was a blast with good food and music. There was a lot of dancing and a great boogie down by Daniel during the garter removal. These two sure know how to have fun and we are glad to welcome them to the Studio E Family. If you see them out cruising on the Harley or having a drink at Palacio's, be sure to tell them Congratulations!!

The Infamous " I Do" instead of "I Will"...

As always, thanks for stopping by and we hope you are ready for the cold weather. Time to pull the winter clothes out of storage!! We've been real busy, so I apologize to our readers for the slow updates. We'll have more to share very soon.

Until next time,

Dennis

"Laughing Is The Best Calorie Burner"

Today we welcome Austyn, Class of 2010, Las Cruces High Bulldawg, to the Studio E Family. Every time we see her, she is smiling, so she must live by the motto up above. A Starbucks addict, Austyn is looking forward to college and a hopeful acting career. With the ability to cry on cue, and give a pretty mean "innocent face", we imagine she'll go far. Thanks for allowing us to share in your senior year memories!!

Due to some technical difficulties, we haven't been able to post on our Blog until today, so come back soon as we try to catch up with all of our new members!!

Until next time,

Dennis

Monkey Toes!?!?!

Yeah, I said it! So did Sara. She admits to having monkey toes... go figure :)

So monkey toes and all, we welcome Sara, a Class of 2010 Las Cruces Bulldawg, to the Studio E Family. This ASU Sun Devil hopeful shared with us a fun and creative session. From portrait posing to dress soaking to photos with innocent bystanding puppies, we had some fun. "Tosh" jumped into a few images and showed her doggie smile along with Sara's.

Sara represents the Cheer Team for the Bulldawgs and confesses to missing the exciting football games once she graduates. She has a few more to go, so if you are attending a Bulldawg football game, be sure to help her get the crowd going. We welcome her to the family and wish her the best!!
We'll be back soon with more to share, I promise!!

Until next time...

Dennis

A Smile To Brighten Up Your Day :)

In today's entry, we welcome Amy to the Family. Amy represents the Class of 2010, Las Cruces High Bulldawgs. She has a gorgeous bright smile that is infectious and of course, great for photos!!

Amy is a dancer and an admitted shopaholic. She plans on attending NMSU focusing on Speech Therapy. Wendy enjoyed a great session with Amy in Mesilla. Please give her a nice welcome and wish her many more smiles as she continues her journey. Thanks for letting us share in your senior year!!
As always, thank you very much for stopping by and visiting. Don't forget to place your "vote" on the right hand side. It helps in ways you just cannot imagine!! :)

Southern New Mexico State Fair is the weekend, head on out and support our locals. We just might see you out there.

Until next time,

Dennis

Drumming To His Own Beat...

We all do it from time to time... tap tap tap... whether it's the pen on the desk, your fingers on the steering wheel or a head bob to the music. It's usually in tune to the drum beat of our favorite songs, and today we welcome to the Studio E Family, Brennan, one of the artists out there that provides those wonderful beats!! Brennan is a Class of 2010 Las Cruces High Bulldawg and participates in many band functions for the school.

Brennan looks forward to majoring in Conservation Biology after high school as he loves to be outside (even in the nasty weather!!). So keep in mind, the next time you are walking through the forest, enjoying the trees, plants and animals, and you hear a nice drum beat off in the distance, it just could be Brennan!! Thanks for letting us share in your senior year and good luck down the road!!

As always, thanks again for stopping by. We've hit an all time high of website and blog website hits this month and owe it all to you guys. Thanks for helping us love what we do!!

Until next time,

Dennis

Let's Go For A Ride...

Today we bring in James, a Class of 2010 Mayfield Trojan, to the Studio E Family. This was our first mini "X Games" session. James rides BMX and skateboards in his spare time. A self proclaimed "know it all", do you think he knew he was going to get some great images? Of course, that's why he booked through us!!

Here's to James, keep practicing what you do best and maybe we'll see you on TV sometime soon winning an X Games Gold!! In the meantime, here's a sneak peek from your session...

Keep coming back to see us, we are loaded to the rafters with Seniors, we've got more to share with ya!!

Until next time,

Dennis
