Subaru Owner Stories – Episode Three: Meet the Critsers
In February, Subaru flew a crew out to Chattanooga to shoot a short piece on our 100-day road trip around America. Check it out and share with your friends. Prints from the trip are for sale on our site and on our Etsy page!
Adventures of Scout
If you like cute puppy pictures, this blog is for you!
Three weeks ago a 12 week old puppy showed up as a surprise at our door. He quickly opened the door into our hearts. We named him Scout Yosemite Critser. His ancestry includes King Charles Cavaliers Spaniel and Bichon Frise. This little thing loves playing, singing, meeting new friends, the ladies, and updating his Instagram @ScoutTheCavachon
Moving to Chattanooga, Tennessee
Lanewood Studio happily announces our move from Los Angeles, California to Chattanooga, Tennessee in December. We will become operational January 2016 and look forward to the many opportunities to work with some of the freshest companies in the United States.
Chattanooga's innovative energy continues to move America forward and we are so excited to take part in the buzz.
A few reasons we love Chattanooga:
- The upcoming availability of 10GB fiber optics wifi has led to a massive surge of new business.
- It was rated 2015's "Best City Ever" by Outside Magazine.
- We look forward to opportunity of working with the amazing companies opening their doors in the Scenic City.
- Chattanooga is 2 hours from Nashville & Atlanta.
- River, outdoors, aquarium, microbreweries, and it's the South.
On the Edge of Something Huge - 17 Days until the 100-Day Road Trip
You know those times in your life when you feel like you're on the edge of something huge? You know that something will change your life and who you are as a person. This trip is something huge.
I can only imagine the lost and elemental frustrations we will face. I also look forward to the incredible moments of elation in nature we will have on this trip.
It's amazing that this trip is coming together after 5+ months of planning and dreaming. We have a 3 inch binder filled with notes, maps, and confirmations. Neither Corey or I have done anything like this before.
Corey has built a storage system for our 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV, the first of its kind we can find. It has a retractable desk and tons of storage.
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to explore, grow, and share our experiences online. Travel with us. We leave Monday, April 13.
The Outdoor Kids - Traveling the States
America. Songs ode her, people praise or curse her, and literature tells her stories. We are so excited to announce the epic 100-day road trip we will take north, east, south, then west around America. We will leave from Los Angeles, CA on Monday, April 13, 2015 and arrive back on Tuesday, July 21, 2015.
We will travel over 10,700 miles. We will make camp in 12 national forests, 9 national parks, 9 state parks, 3 national grasslands, as well as a national seashore, conservation area, wildlife refuge, and more.
As photographers based out of Los Angeles, we will use this opportunity to photograph the landscapes, people, and atmospheres we see that make up Americana. Emily will blog the entire trip on our website www.LanewoodStudio.com .
We are available for follow-up interviews and questions by phone, email, and text. A Press Packet is available upon request.
Congratulations
Congratulations to our resident photographer Corey Critser on being a finalist in the Popular Photography magazine "Your Best Shot" photo contest. 56 finalists were chosen out of 1,741 entries. We are so proud and can't wait to see what the next year has to come!
