Mary Claire is one of my closest friends and this summer the stars aligned and I was able to spend a week visiting her en route to a wedding. Well, it was actually her cousin’s wedding and it was so much fun to be a part of and they made me feel like part of the family. (thanks guys!) We had so much fun running and shopping and staying up late talking – of course – all the things you do with good friends. Picture taking was also part of that adventure, as I did some portraits for Mary Claire to use for her business, Jensen Studio. She is the best piano teacher I know besides my sister; besides having her own piano studio she teaches with Music for Young Children as well as The Music Class. After getting married she moved down to the Doylestown area outside of Philly and is building up her studio there – so spread the word throughout PA everyone.
It was fun to take some photos for her and after doing some professional portraits like the one above, we started to improvise which brought us to the violin picture below. Probably not one she’ll use – unless she starts up a band – but since you never know when you’ll start a band it really was necessary – don’t you think?
