Come On In and Stay A While

Welcome to the blog of Staja Studios. We are STAcey and JAson Thon, the dynamic duo (self proclaimed) behind Staja Studios! This blog serves as our way to keep in touch with everyone we know, like, and love. We thought it would be a fun way for people who know us to keep up with what is going on in our lives and studio, and a wonderful way for those of you who may have just met us to learn more about who we are.
We would like to bring together our professional and personal lives. You can expect to see pictures from our latest weddings, engagement shoots, portraits, etc. As well as some personal, fine art, family pics, and other projects. In addition, we will be sharing our "Cheers and Jeers", and other random ramblings about whatever strikes our fancy. In the future we are also looking for ways to make things more interactive, if you will. This may include voting for a particular marketing piece, contests, and various other activities.
Thank you all for stopping by, and don't forget to - Get Captured!

Cam and Jim - Recognized

So we have been very bad bloggers lately! We apologize. Between the holidays and trying to get some things in place for 09, we can't believe where the time has gone. Hopefully we will be able to fulfill one of our resolutions to be better bloggers for the new year.

With that said, we had some exciting news to kick the new year off. In the summer of 2007, I had an opportunity to go to a workshop put on by Mike Colon, one of the most respected wedding photographers in the US. Mike has started an "alumni group" for past participants. He recently held a photo contest for the alumni group, and one of our images was chosen as the winner. Mike wanted something that portrayed a moment, was lit nicely, flattering, and had feeling.We were thrilled that he picked one of our images and as a bonus, we won one of his instructional DVD's and our image is now the profile image for the group. Between our Staja Style - The Day After project and this contest picture, Cam and Jim are going to start building a celebrity status :)

Here was the winning image!
