Yesterday was Martini Thursday in the Studio! We were bumpin’ and grindin’ through an epic pinball challenge. That’s right…we get Manhattan’s at work. Jealous much??

White Christmas!
It’s that time of year again. Chilly weather, goofy sweaters, stockings, snowmen, reds and greens, oh and presents! Heck yes we love Christmas time…who doesn’t? Here at our lovely Seattle location, the Studio 3 team’s been getting our dose of all things Christmas, decorating, shopping, loving each other, and all that jazz. There is one thing we’re missing a bit of though and it’s one of the key ingredients to a classic white Christmas (hint: it’s the white part).
Here in Seattle, a fluffy blanket of snow makes for a real love/hate relationship. We LOVE to play in it, turn it into cute snowmen, throw balls of it at our dearest friends, and catch it on our tongues (missing school because of is also pretty great). We HATE walking through it, getting it in our socks, when it turns to slush, and most of all driving through it. We don’t see each other much, snow, and us Seattlites and the Studio 3 team was feeling the need for some snowfall around the workplace. So what’d we do? We made it snow, of course!
One of the perks of being a photo studio is having props galore at our fingertips, so our holiday parties, aside from being super fun and wild, are always beautifully decorated. Check us out below in our new photo from this year’s party. We pulled out our favorite Christmas props and got warm and cozy under the studio snowfall. Some things of importance to note and think about: Chris’ tiny cup and huge mullet, the mystery of what Alex is afraid of, and our little plant friend that came to hang out for the photo.
We had a blast and can’t wait for all the family and friends time coming up in the next few days. And of course, we can’t wait to get through that wrapping paper to all those tempting new toys. Here’s to hoping you have as great a Christmas season! Happy Holidays from Studio 3!
Habitat for Humanity: Volunteer Fun!
Studio 3 recently spent some time at the Habitat for Humanity Store here in Seattle! We had such a blast getting our hands dirty and helping out around the store.While we love being busy working around the studio, every three months our little family likes to give back to our community and the Habitat Store sounded like a great place to be.Taking a day to volunteer and give back to this awesome community effort and meeting all the other awesome employees and volunteers was a great experience and change of pace!Check out some pictures below!
Habitat for Humanity is an international, community based low-income housing developer, striving to provide affordable, quality housing for low-income families.Using primarily volunteer labor, with over 1 million people volunteering each year, Habitat builds houses and sells them at cost, with no profit and no interest.In Seattle and King County alone, the organization has built, renovated, or repaired over 340 homes!
The Habitat Store, with locations in Seattle and Bellvue, is open to the public and sells new and gently used building materials, appliances, and furniture at discount prices.Like Habitat’s building initiative, the stores are always looking for new volunteers to help out in a variety of positions, so Studio 3 was more than happy to be their newest and can’t wait to visit them again soon!All smiles all day, by the end of our shifts we were a bunch of store pros rocking our fancy, official blue vests (see last photo for an overload of group cuteness).
If you’d like to help out with such an awesome cause by volunteering as well, Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County offers a number of different areas to work in.To find out more about the opportunity to volunteer, follow the link below!
