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!

Darlene & Jake are Engaged!

We met up with Darlene and Jake at Cedar Lake early one Sunday morning. Jason and I had gotten back late the night before from a wedding. The kids were up north camping with Jason's family and I was thinking it would be a perfect morning to lounge in bed til sometime near the lunch hour. Well, that didn't happen and I'm SO glad it didn't! What a glorious morning it was:) It was one of those wonderful, warm summer mornings that make you so happy to be alive (and awake) to experience it. Everyone was out and about enjoying the trails, most of them on wheels. Darlene and Jake were no exception. They brought along their super cool, old school, tandem Schwinn. That baby was awesome!
Apparently Jake's dad had gotten it for his mom one Mother's Day a number of years ago. (It was old then). I'm sure it got some action for a while, but as is true with most things like this, it sat idle and alone for many years hidden in the garage. That is, until Jake and Darlene spotted it and brought her home! Let's just say, this beauty's got a new lease on life! Cedar Lake is their trail of choice, so we decided it would be a great place to shoot their engagement session. Including the bike was so much fun and a perfect illustration of their closeness and unity.

After the session we were all starving, so we hit The Uptown Diner. Love that place:)

We got home around 1pm with full bellies, flash cards filled with awesome images and having made two new friends:) I was so grateful that I hadn't spent such a brilliant morning sleeping.

Please enjoy some images from the day.
