News: Lanewood Studio: Leading Chattanooga’s Media Charge
The Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce wrote an article about us released October 13, 2021 by Josue Vega.
It's Been a Year
A little of who we are. Here are some shots of us with our baby Caleb and our family, and our favorite hair and makeup girl Emily Hawtin (who is also family).
Quarantine Test Shooting
This has been the strangest year. We closed the studio temporarily a week after opening for quarantine. During quarantine for Covid-19, we used the studio as an escape. Emily had our first baby, a son named Caleb Grey Critser on Saturday, June 20, 2020. It has been a season of highs and lows. Here are some of the projects we messed around with during that time in the studio.
Portraits in Palm Springs
We attended a workshop with Sandro Miller at the Palm Springs Photo Festival in California. Here are a few of the shots we experimented with.
Fall of 18
We are constantly shooting. It’s a way we relive memories.
Logan & Charlie’s Wedding
Virginia, Catie, and their mothers.
Corey’s ridiculously gorgeous cousin Virginia passed through our studio on the same day our beloved Catie did.
Puerto Rico
Oh my goodness. How much fun did we have in Puerto Rico? Seriously, it’s a little fuzzy.
Summer of 18
We are constantly shooting. It’s a way we relive memories.
