Hey Folks! A quick announcement that our Bo***ir services will be ending under Väter Photo beginning this month.

In short; we've really turned things up a notch and have begun to focus on our most experienced service.

I've been doing Bo***ir for 20 years now and this particular genre of Photography has exploded with demand to such a degree, that we've created an entirely new brand that is strictly dedicated to it. The process of sunsetting this service has already begun, and will be finalized slowly throughout the remainder of the year.

Starting today, when viewing our services on our website, clicking on Bo***ir will take you to a whole new brand known as Lakes & Lace. With our new vision you can expect much of the same friendliness and compassion from your Friendly Neighborhood Photographer, but we've been slowly building up a client closet in our Studio, have multiple pieces of iconic furniture and backdrops to choose between, with Hair and Makeup Artists available and even a Modeling coach.

I cannot thank you all enough for your support over the last 9 years, Väter Photo simply would not exist if it was not for our incredible clients. From the Brides that gifted their new Husbands an incredible gift of private Bo***ir photographs, to those that stepped in front of the lens simply to memorialize their beauty - thank you all! I look forward to your continued support with this new endeavor.
