We are very excited to let you all know that coming soon will be a new website and blog.  The new site will be Pearl White Studio.  Don’t worry; you will be able to get to us from www.lifeonfilm.com for the foreseeable future.

You can see some subtle changes are already being made.  In the photograph of little Henry, in the blog header, you can see a hint of the new logo that we will be using. If you have visited the site before, and entered the blog from the home page, you may have noticed there has been a change in the wallpaper.  The new wallpaper will also be seen on the blog as well.

Change, as always, can be unsettling for us, but this is going to be a great change as we grow and continue to shift our focus to maternity, newborn, children, and their families.  The changes will take place, as the work gets done, and we will let you know as things are rolled out.

In the meantime, let us know what you think.

I love going to Underground Yoga studio in Watertown owned by Ben McLellan.  The studio has a really great group of teachers who are a joy to learn from.  When I heard that they were going to be redoing their website and would need new photographs I didn’t hesitate to offer my services as a way of saying thank you.  They happily accepted.

Having never photographed a yoga group before, I really wanted to create something different.  I poured over many yoga magazines, and online, to see what other studios were using for to showcase their studio in advertisements.  I saw many different and somewhat unusual poses, many of which the average person would never do.  It was then that I thought of using the work “YOGA” for Underground Yoga.  There are many different poses that could easily create words but simple is always best.  YOGA was all I could think of and I mentioned it to Ben.

On Sunday, even though we had no power or heat in the studio, we happily packed up our equipment and headed to Underground Yoga for a short photo session.  We worked out the poses that we would use, which the average person could do.  Here is a sneak peak at YOGA:

This is  definitely my favorite photograph from the session and it is exactly as I envisioned it would be when I first came up with the idea.

Great photography and the creative staff of  Underground Yoga equals one fabulous photograph that simply says exactly what they do!

And, it was fun, too!

I have had a love hate relationship with my desk for a long time.  It’s not that I can’t find things on it, it’s that I have to drill down through stuff to find what I’m looking for.  There was one particular area that I just could never seem to get organized.  No matter how many times I’ve cleared my desk the stuff returns time and again. Arrrghhh!

Simple Lux is about making your life simple.  The sister team of Michele and Meaghan Donarumo are organizing dynamo’s.  Both sisters have their masters in BA and are well versed in organizing, party planning, household management, travel coordination, and anything else you may need help with.  I had found Simple Lux online and was planning on contacting them to help me with my “little” problem.  Luckily for me they had a Living Social special that I jumped on right away.

Michele was my organizer and immediately began the job of my desk re-do.  With her at my side it took us almost two hours to organize and clear the desk, not that it had that much stuff on it, but because we wanted to make sure that I would be able to sustain the space.  I am thrilled with the results.  Now my desk has empty  space.  I feel energized to walk into my office and create artwork for my clients.

Life is best, when you keep it simple.  If you need help to make your life, or your desk, simple, like I did, check out Simple Lux LLC.  Their website is www.simpleluxllc.com.

Thank you Michele!
