More than a physical structure, your home sets the stage for your family’s story and its walls should do more than just hold paint and décor. When thoughtfully filled with family photos, your home becomes a living storybook reflective of connection, memories, and the people who matter most.
And there’s more to it than that.

If you ask David Simpson, owner of Catch Your Vibe Photography, he’ll tell you flat out: “I love Christmas.” It’s no wonder then that the holiday season inspired our CYV team to get in the spirit with the greater community, including the canines.
We couldn’t be more grateful for those of you who showed up, dressed up, and shared the festive spirit with us at two recent events.
For those who couldn’t make it, here’s what you missed… until next year, that is!

We live in a world where everything lives on our phones: photos, messages, memories, even love stories. We’re often asked: Do we still need wedding albums when we already have thousands of photos in a gallery link?
My answer? Yes. A million times, yes.
The way I see it, a wedding album isn’t just a collection of pretty photos, it’s a storybook of your favorite day. It’s the weight of a moment in your hands. It’s something you can pull off the shelf years from now and feel everything all over again.

That’s why this time deserves to be celebrated. Not with stiff, awkward yearbook photos, but with images that actually capture who you are.
That’s where we come in. Hi!

Hiring a professional photographer for a big wedding or a corporate gala makes sense; in fact, you’ve probably already done it. Most of us have for one occasion or another. However, an event doesn’t need to be big to be special or meaningful. Size doesn’t matter when it comes to milestone birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversary dinners, school events, nonprofit fundraisers, or even a cozy open house at your business.
Consider this quote by Andrew Michael Ramsay: “Great events are the hour-hands of time, while small events mark the minutes.” Never heard of him? We hadn’t either, but Google tells us he was a pretty big deal writer in Scotland during the 1600s.
