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.
Carrots & Beets
We believe people should be connected to their food. We have visited local Crabtree Farms to show how good food can get.
Crabtree Farms
Here are some lovely farmers at Crabtree Farms, a local farm right outside of downtown Chattanooga.
Camp James
This is a personal project we recently shot with our amazing painter friend Cydney See and her companion James.

Cydney See
We shot the day in the life of an amazing painter Cydney SEE. Check out her work, buy an original painting, and send some love to this firecracker of creativity. https://www.cydneysee.com
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.
