wood in wonderland

Our latest family shoot is inspired from alice in wonderland & Betsey Johnson fashion. Now remember, all our sessions are inspired from somewhere, and inspiration is different from copying the exact look. We love bringing "our take" to each shoot, instead of strictly mimicking, which is something we can guarantee we'd do for you when you book your own session with us. :)

We're open all year long, and most days of the week. If you'd like your own "getzperience", please give us call and start your journey into wonderland today!

much love,

brushing past the edge of my soul.... (part2)

Within my soul lies passions waiting to be released. What you see of me today, is not who I want to be tomorrow, it is merely where I am on my journey. Even in my art, i am looking at the vision of a different getzcreative; a photography studio as yet unrealized, but brimming with greater potential. I have one life, and choosing what to focus on first, can be as much an important question, as the realization that I need to live in the moment, letting go of my expectations that keep me from moving forward.

I live in the struggle of wishing I was already at my destination, without taking time to be thankful for where I am. How many times have I been right where I needed to be, even in the pain, panicking, trying to find a way out, instead of stepping outside myself and working inside the pain, so that I could move through it and onto a better place—experiences like this can build my creativity if I don't let myself die in the struggle.

....and even saying this, I sometimes want to die in the struggle... We are all different, yet we seem all the same in that we each have a choice in how we look at life's journey and deal with our particular pain set.

I cannot live by your expectations of me; and who you think I should be. I already die by my own expectations and add only more pain when i put your expectations on top of my own.

It is true, that dreams and passion can grow in suffering, however, they can also be smothered when the expectations of others (culture, friends, the liar within us..) are allowed to control the course we take.

Have a beautiful day my friends. I hope you see a better me tomorrow. My hope is to look back, enjoying what i can, and seeing a photography studio producing more creative work, passion ever flowing..... moving forward.

wishing you well,
-TJ
