It may seem like we have taken a break in the past two weeks. Quite the opposite! We have been busy shooting, designing and thinking of new, hip presentations for your photos. We also took a trip to Philadelphia to scout some new shooting locations, so that we can keep the look for this fall’s high school senior portraits and engagements fresh!

Here is the MK Team.

There may be nothing a photography studio team loves more than clients that love us!  

There may be one thing….as most of you noticed lately, we have been putting a huge amount of effort into our blog.  We really appreciate that you are all keeping up with what we are doing.  The comments are great, and they keep inspiring us to try new things.  We want to hear what you think and what you want to see more of.  Keep checking back….we’ve had a busy week…there is going to be some incredible posts throughout next week!

Just a little recognition goes a long way to keep people working hard.  When a bride thanks us, it means the world to us!  When they add a little note telling us the website is looking incredible…even better!  Thanks Jill!  We cannot wait for your big day next October!

Hara’s engagement ring. Entry #3. Congratulations to Hara and Scott Caplan. They were married on October 20th, 2007 at The Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia. This one of a kind ring(yes every ring he designs is an original!) was designed by Michael Beaudry. They both meet him in person to discuss the design of their rings. The rings were purchased at Bernie Robbins at the New Jersey shore. The outer section is rose gold inlayed with pink diamonds. Beautiful Beautiful!. Congratulations to the two of you! And a special thanks to our other amazing ring entries: Marisa and John entry #1 and Liz and Tyke entry #2.

This past Monday Angelique and I donated our photography services to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). It was the annual Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Golf Classic . We were so honored to be asked to cover this special event. and It felt so good to lend a hand for an awesome cause! We worked directly with PR representatives Bailey White & Meghan Wright of CHOP. They were sooo helpful and optimistic all day(despite the early morning rain). This was a rescheduled event that was cancelled last month due to heavy rains. We were all crossing our fingers The sun came out just in time for the shotgun start! Joni Blum from LSL organized the silent auctions and was a huge help with all the events throughout the course of the day.
