i don’t know about you, but i’ve been getting a little tired of all the change that’s going on. changes in the economy, changes in the climate, changes in my age, changes in the clothes my pre-teen wants to wear.
but this change i’m about to tell you about… this change i can handle:
studio m / michael spengler photography is splittin’ up! not to worry, it’s not that kind of change. we are now two entities under one roof: studio m la jolla and michael spengler photography and i’ll tell you why.
michael is living his dream. he works with people he loves and creates images we love. he’s living in his new hometown (munich is his first), raising three fabulous girls and capturing incredible moments in the lives of this great community. studio m lolla, where michael has the brilliant opportunity to photograph incredible kids and high school seniors, has been growing since the day we purchased mike barth’s studio in 2002. it’s everything we wanted and now so much more. it allows michael to focus on what he does best, babies, kids and teens, and gives the community what they love best, his work.
then, slowly, over the years, a different kind of client has come a callin’. some saw michael’s portraits of local kids and teens, others heard about him through the grapevine, and these clients owned companies and needed advertising and catalog images and they wanted what michael was offering his private clients on a much larger scale. and so our one studio cell, if you will, has split into two and we’re hoping for identical successes. michael spengler photography is our new home for the commercial photography michael has been doing over the last year for companies such as infantino, discovery toys, la jolla beach and tennis club and several other national and international companies. it won’t take him away from the community, but it will certainly take his work to a much larger audience, and for that, we couldn’t be more thrilled.
so, if you happen to notice a new studio m logo around town or hear that studio m is splitting up, don’t worry: change is – sometimes – very, very good.

so one day, when I had nothing to do…haha…yeah no….not sure when I had time to find this little app, but I did and I love it. It reminds me of high school when I used to experiement with different lens, cameras, film and papers. The apps is called Hipstamatic and you can buy from the App Store for 1.99
My favorite combination so far is John S for the lens and Ina’s 69 for film. Here are some samples.
My little Evie….
At the playground the other day…
yes…I didn’t know that I put my pinkies up when I am taking an iPhone picture. Need to work on that.
The next two sets are from a recent trip to San Francisco. The first set is from a Starbucks on Market at 6:08am on a Saturday. The second is from the hotel, an alley restaurant and two are from the Carousel at Mascone Center.

if you’ve tuned in to our blog over the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed that we are working more and more in the commercial/lifestyle side of photography. every photographer loves being behind the camera, but they all have that one thing that is most inspiring and fun for them. michael’s happens to be photographing children and teens. if you’ve ever seen him in action, it’s obvious that he is totally a kid at heart and i think that really translates into his work. sometimes i’ll be working at my desk and all of a sudden there is LOUD yelling and funny noises coming from the other side of the studio- i go around to peek through the back to a) make sure everything is okay and b) see what in the world is going on… and more often than not, it’s michael playing with the kids that are being photographed- and of course, he is by far the loudest and most rambunctious one! here are some recent commercial images, enjoy!

michael, rei and not i… recently shot a wedding in cabo {where i wasn’t}. i was not at all jealous that they got to go enjoy this gorgeous resort and i was SO happy they got to witness this amazing wedding without me. in cabo.
all “joking” aside, i fell in love with some of the images from this wedding. it was so fun to watch chenais enjoy her slideshow and relive the memories! there’s an ongoing joke at the studio about me resisting marriage {love you, tm!} but this wedding looked so fun and stylish that i fear i may have caught the bug
