I have a million feelings, but none of them make any sense.  This morning when I woke up, Josh met me in the hallway and told me the news.  John was gone.  He’d taken his own life. I stared at him.  Clearly I had names confused.  Or maybe Josh did.  I mean, not John. He’s […]

Back in the fall I started going to the chiropractor because I had massive headaches every single day. After going there multiple times a week for several months (my back was really bad & has drastically improved), I happened to find out that two of the people I saw every visit were married to each […]

I grew up in North Carolina, but last year was the first time I had ever visited the Outer Banks.  Our vacation plans had fallen through and some good friends invited us down to spend the week with them.  We had the best time, and decided to go back as often as possible.  Of course, […]

We get asked a lot about how we started Fowler Studios, how longs it’s been, how we built up to this point & where we’re headed, so we thought we’d share!  It’s been fun delving into those memories, but I (Susan) realized that it can’t possibly be shared all in one post!  So here’s the […]

For our personal family photos I organize them by month on my computer.  Sometimes I’ll get to the end of the month and realize that I don’t have any photos from that month other than from my iPhone.  It’s a shame, really, when I’m a photographer & there’s no evidence in our personal life.  So […]

Photographing families sounds easy, but the more kids you throw in the pile, the more difficult it can be!  There are a lot of articles out there with suggestions like bringing snacks, toys, etc.  Those are all great ideas that I highly encourage, but today I want to share some fresh suggestions specifically for photographers.  […]

Say hello to these sweet kiddos!  Their parents are some of our best friends here in Virginia & I’ve been so excited to photograph them now that they’ve got a little brother! When it comes to photographing kids, experience is key.  Every kid is different, and depending on the ages, you never quite know what […]

I know, I know, we’re always so excited to share a new highlight film with you… but we really are!  And this one is a little different– it’s our Wedding Film package with a rehearsal dinner add-on, which means it is longer than a highlight film!  The longer time frame gives us more time to […]

I love when a simple wedding has elegance, and that’s exactly how I would describe Scott & Sharon’s wedding!  They picked a few details that were important to them & did them well.  Also, I never realized how much I love the pink blush color for weddings.  I tend to go for bold colors myself, […]

You know those people who make you feel more sophisticated just because you’ve been around them?  For me, that’s anyone with a British accent.  And since I know very few people with British accents… it’s the Everard family.  It’s not just because of their accents, though.  They are just a very clean, well-put-together family!  Quite […]
