Winter is dark.

But since acquiring some new lighting equipment, our options for evening shoots are more open.

FEATURED SHOP



oh, the suspense has been killing us, but at last we can reveal our secret!..

Beginning January 11th, VeraVague will be the
FEATURED SHOP on Etsy!
Look for our article to go live at noon on Friday and continue on 'til noon on Monday!
We're super stoked and incredibly grateful for this opportunity.  It feels like the universe is telling us it's okay to do what we love, and what we're good at.


thank you!

PHOTO SHOOT - They walk alike, they talk alike




AT LONG LAST.
  After a years-long friendship on the internet, Vera Vague and Nicole Dotto finally meet!
We were born 2,146 miles and 365 days apart, but now live just a two hour drive away from each other.
And some people think we kind of look alike...
So the lovely Ms. Dotto and her photographer friend Rodion stopped by for a visit at the start of 2013.
