Holiday order and pick-up deadlines for 2011!

Greetings, everyone!

The studio has been in full swing for the holidays and we've scarcely had time to sit down! We're now officially into the month of December, which means the countdown to our deadline to order gift portrait orders has begun . . . but don't worry; we still have time to fit you in!

In order to guarantee your portraits arrive to our studio safe and sound and are placed in your hands by the holidays, we must receive your portraiture and holiday cards orders no later than the close of business on December 16th.

Also, it may seem weeks away, but please keep in mind that the final day to pick up your portraits before the Christmas holiday weekend is December 21st . . . it's also your last day to say hello to Abby before she gets married and moves far away to Nashville, so make sure you pay us a visit!

How to watch the installation of Bishop Libasci

We know many of you are thrilled to celebrate the installation of Bishop Libasci as the tenth Bishop of Manchester next week. Jeff and Carolle are honored to be the creators of the Bishop's official portrait and the exclusive photographers for the installation. We will be updating you on all the events from our Facebook page, so don't forget to check in to our page that day:

Thank you, veterans!

Everyone at Dachowski Photography would like express their sincere appreciation to the many veterans who have served The United States of America.

Without you, we could not live as we do today. For your countless sacrifices and dedication to our country, we thank you.

Skylines and cupcakes

There's just something about New York . . . looming skyscrapers, flashing lights, tasty food at every corner. There was just a little jealously bouncing around the office when Jeff and Carolle announced they were taking a quick weekend trip to the Big Apple (okay, Abby only makes up 1/3 of the studio staff, and the other 2/3 were going on the trip, but still . . .).

In addition to catching a Civil Wars show (if you haven't yet heard them, you must!) and taking some pretty great images of the view from the Empire State Building, Jeff and Carolle also found time to check out the Photo East Expo and a terrific bakery that has yet to hit the Boston area. We're crossing our fingers they head this way very soon! Crumbs is also the home to a "colossal cupcake" which isn't pictured here . . . but something Abby now has on her list to indulge in some day soon. Red velvet, anyone?

Sunny Newport wedding

After this weekend's unseasonably early snowstorm, we think you need this post more than ever!

As soon as we learned the wedding of our New York City-based clients was to take place on the shores of Rhode Island's glitzy Newport, we knew it was going to be something unique and very special. Exquisite handcrafted details, beaming sunshine and a breathtaking views made this a wedding we just couldn't keep to ourselves . . . enjoy feasting your eyes upon Christina and Zach's sweet seaside celebration!

Congrats, Zach and Christina . . . we had a blast working with you on your lovely day!

Coming soon to the studio . . .

Can you believe it? It's almost time for Holiday Portraits! Carolle is hard at work creating our 2011 holiday scene . . . perfect for photographing families, children, babies and even your furry family members.

Some of our favorite ways to use holiday imagery are, of course, as holiday cards and gifts to grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles, friends and loved-ones who are far away. We even advocate creating a special present for yourself as an end-of-the-year treat.

(After all, who did all the work to get everyone to our studio??? Definitely worth a reward, in our book.)

We hope we see you here this holiday season!
