The CL!X Events team has been very busy since the Summer of 2007, working with many child care centers, dance studios, schools and sports teams to provide superior on-location photography services.  The first Minnesota CL!X Studio opened in February 2008 in the fabulous Fountains at Arbor Lakes shopping complex in Maple Grove.  Sandy and Michael have two children, Reagan and Finnegan, and are planning to open five CL!X® studios in the Twin Cities over the coming years.
