Lasting Memories Events Planning & Catering Grand Opening!

Lasting Memories Events Planning & Catering is a great new family owned business.

We have been longtime friends of the Executive Chef/Owner Phil and his wife, Event Coordinator/Owner Adrienne. There's also floral designer Sandi Hardman (Adrienne's mom), Laura McKinley, designer/event coordinator and Amber Puchalski, marketing/evnt coordinator. Phil was actually the best man in Milisa's wedding and Adrienne and her helpers set our entire wedding up and Sandi did our florals.

The team is amazing and dedicated to making their client's day one to remember.

Check them out!

We were so honored to be apart of their Grand Opening event.

Phil has such a blast working his magic in the kitchen. We got to taste everything after the pictures and it was all FABULOUS!!!

Hello!

Welcome to the blog of

Smith & Karrow Photography

We've recently changed our name
(Formerly Something Different Photography)
and so, with a new name comes a new blog...

and a new web site!
www.smithandkarrowphotography.com

And a new email!
smithandkarrowphotography@yahoo.com

We've also purchased new equipment!
We are now shooting with the Canon 5D Mark II.

We are Milisa Smith & Kristin Karrow.
We have been creating Artography
for over 10 years together.
What is Artography you ask?
Simply, it is the blending of art and photography.
We pride ourselves on seeing the
artistic side of every shot
and capturing it at its finest moment.
(Of course, we also have a traditional bone in our trigger happy fingers!)

We are based in Riverside, CA but we have traveled from

Washington to New York and are always

up for new experiences in new places.
Our love for artography developed in our

high school yearbook class we took together

and turned into more of an obsession
when we ventured off to college,
where we both earned degrees in photography.
Milisa's BA is in Photojournalism from
Cal State University, Fullerton.
Kristin's BA is in Studio Art Photography from
Cal State University, San Bernardino.
We both continued our education while working in

various photo studios and a print processing lab.
Bringing our two different photography styles

together has helped us develop our

artography and cater to a wide variety of tastes.

We love to shoot weddings, engagements, families,

kids, senior graduates, maternity portraits

and special occasions and anything you put us up to!
We prefer to use the natural light and the natural surroundings,

but we do have a studio set for a classic touch.

Please, let us show you what Artography is all about!

Thanks for stopping by,
Milisa & Kristin
