Happy Holidays!

Ok, so all of our Holiday cards didn't quite make it out. If you didn't happen to get one in the mail, here's one of our pictures. Although I sometimes complain that my own children do not cooperate when I'm taking their pictures at all, those are really some of the best moments that I will always cherish. Forget about looking at the camera and smiling... those pictures are totally over-rated. Never delete the pictures you have of your kids just being themselves. We plan to show this one to Sydney and Max when they are teenagers and probably not getting along as well as they do now.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Jennifer Mayo Studios!

The Wait is Over - Silver Beach Carousel & Ballroom

That's right, it's finally here... the Shadowland Ballroom and Carousel at Silver Beach are finally here. Tonight, I had the honor of attending the dedication ceremonies and even got to ride the Carousel myself. It's been a long time coming and was really breathtaking to see everything up and running in person. The Carousel is magnificent, the Ballroom is beautiful and the Curious Kids Discovery Zone will be a real treat for all of the local children (and their parents) in the area. The St. Joseph, Michigan facility will be open to the general public starting January 2. Carousel tokens are available as stocking stuffers at a discount (I bought 24!). I think you can get them at the Curious Kids Museum if you're interested.

We're looking forward to our 2010 weddings at the Shadowland Ballroom and to having even more fun riding the Carousel and visiting the Curious Kids Discovery Zone... even more reasons to visit St. Joseph.

More to come... we'll be at the New Year's Eve gala at the Ballroom.... I'm sure it will be a New Year to remember.

Silly Hats!

Many thanks to the families who participated in our Limited Edition Silly Hats Sessions on Saturday. Here's a few from one family's session. We'll be doing a handful more this week and next, so call the studio if you would still like to schedule a Silly Hat Session. Happy Holidays!
