Stephanie (& Pup!)

Our Monday continued with a SuperSpecial visit from the one and only Stephanie! She, along with her super-awesome doggie (& dog wrangler Mom) came down to the FunCenter for some Senior Snaps!

Ahh shucks, man, we had a fabulous time going here and there, to and fro, all in search of the perfect photograph. Well, we not only got one, but we got ourselves a whole basket (in all actuality the photographs are not really kept in a basket, but instead are kept in a magical digital card like thing, but this is getting way to technical) full of perfect pics! Alas, it was not us that caused all of this perfection, but it was Stephanie that was absolutely perfect!

We had a truly wonderful time working with her, and even though the session is now over, we’ll always have these sample snaps below to warm our hearts – Enjoy!

Can You Handle This Hotness?

Didn’t think so.

Oh, and if you happen to recognize these sunglasses that are on my hot face, stop on down and claim them. If not, thank you for the sunglasses, beezos.

Tell Me Why, I Do Like Mondays…(It’s Heather!)

That title is a slight variation on an original for all you Boomtown Rats fans out there…hello…are you there? Moving on, I’ll tell you why I do like Mondays, and it comes down to this: it’s because we get to work with flippin’ sweet peeps like the one and only Heather!

Heather, you see, was so awesome that all we had to do was meet her here, and she not only was the one being photographed, she actually was the one taking the pictures too. That’s how good she was. James & myself just sat in the corner and wondered how it was that somebody could be so effin awesome to work with! Not only was she awesome, but her trusty sidekick (the one and only/soon to be featured on ‘the blog’) Hailey was awesome too! There was double awesome goin’ down! Did you hear that?? DOUBLE AWESOME GOIN’ DOWN!!! AND THREE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!! MAKE THAT FOUR! WHY AM I SHOUTING?

OK, so I’ve stopped my freakout, but I’m not gonna stop with just some words, I’m also gonna give you some snappitysnapsnaps, just as soon as I say ‘Much Love’ to Heather (and the lovely Hailey) for being such a treat, and now that that’s out of the way – Enjoy!

And, as a special bonus treat…

Jenna…Just One More!

I think we need to see just one more from the always fantastical Jenna! So here goes – Enjoy!

Sunday Morning, Micaela Rocking!

There was no better way for us to start up a glorious Sunday Morning than with a visit from the even more gloriouser (it’s a word…it’s a seldom used word…alright…it might not be a word, but the O&J Thesaurus has taken a summer vacation and I’ve been left to my own devices, and plus it has run out of options for the word ‘awesome’, and since this word appears in every post ((I am a child of the 80’s, after all)) at least about ten times, it really has no value to me anymore, so as far as I’m concerned its summer vacation can last for as long as it has to…in fact, don’t even come back.) Micaela!

Normally, I would still be in the O&J Nest on the Sun Day, but on this particular day, spending a little bit o’ quality time with Micaela was the only thing we wanted to be doing! Why do I make such bold claims, you ask?? It’s because I speak the truth! Micaela was a total treat to work with, and she made the time just fly by. She didn’t even flinch when we found ourself next to the abandoned barn that had one lone mooing cow, and she didn’t even say a word as we found ourselves taking the super long way to get to the lake. Oh no, she kept on rocking through it all, and for that we want to say, you rock – straight up!

Did you really come here to look at the words?? No. So – Enjoy!

Ashley, Why Are You So Awesome?

This is kind of one of those questions like, ‘Why is the sky blue?’, or ‘Why does the sun shine?’, or ‘Why do the birds sing?’ – it’s something that can’t be answered in simple terms, they just are, or maybe it’s just better to accept that they just are, because getting an actual technical explanation might not really do it justice.

Like, I could tell you that it’s because of her beautiful smile, or her lovely personality, or because she knew just what to do in order to rock it up during the shoot. But do any of these explanations even do it justice? Perhaps we should just accept that the birds sing, that the sun shines, the sky is blue, and that Ashley is the epitome of all things awesome!

We truly had a great time working with our Rainbow friend, and we’d like to give a ‘holla’ to her for being so righteously rocking! But, did you really come here today to see these dumb ol’ letters on the page, or did you come to see some snappysnappysnaps?? Alrighty then – Enjoy!

Rockin’ Up the Thursday AM Wit’ a Little Wendy!

Hey now, did y’all like my first usage of ‘wit”…huh…addin’ a lil’ bit of street to ‘the blog’…huh…what do you think…keepin’ it pretty hip, aren’t we…what’s that…we’re old and out of touch, and those laughs we hear aren’t people laughing with us…ahh man, you must be trippin’ or somthing, ’cause I’m stone cold HIP! Well, for those of you out there in the world of blog that aren’t up on the vernacular quite like me, let me break down (translate) the title of this post for you; it means that this past Thursday morning, we had the sweetsweetlysweetness pleasure of working with the one and only Wendy, and our goal was to get some Senior Snaps!

What do you think the outcome was? Do you think that we weren’t able to get them? Alright, take a little sneak peek below and come right back up here…well, are you still wondering about whether or not we got them, or has your mind been completely blown by just how awesome our time with Wendy was??!! That’s what I thought, as there is no denying how totally and completely awesome Wendy was to work with, and how much fun we had!

Much love to Wendy for coming down to the FunCenter, and for being so great to work with! OK, even though you’ve already had a small little sneak peek, it’s time for us all to put these words aside and get to the goods – Enjoy!

Good Ol’ Cousin Ryan, and the Lovely Jennifer!

A couple of Sundays ago, well, too many Sundays ago to remember (you can take me down to the O&J Punishment Center, which is located in the sketchy dank basement and do what seems fit…mucho ((that’s espanÃµl for ‘much’…I think…I might actually be wrong)) apologies to this lovely couple for taking so long to get the goods up on the site…and of course, it happens to familia ((which is some language for ‘family’))…I’m not even sure what is happening with this sentence punctuation, so I’m just gonna end this part now) we had a special visit from my good ol’ (actually younger than me) cousin Ryan, and his lovely lady Jennifer, and the cause was some super-sweet-engagement-photo-graphs!

They bounded into the studio ready to get down to biz (that’s professional lingo for ‘business’), and get down to biz is exactly what they did! They straight up rocked it up, so much so that when it came time for us to stop, you could see the tears welling in the eyes of Ryan, as you could tell that he never wanted the session to end (he’s such a diva!) We had a great time, and we look forward to their big day!

Well, we know the drill, I need to stop talking and we need to get ready to see some of the super sweet snaps (that’s photographer for ‘pictures’) that were gotten (and how could they not be sweet, as Ryan & I are actually twins separated at birth, ((I think it’s time that we all just admited that this is the truth)) and by genetic traits alone I knew he was going to be an awesome mixture of rugged masculinity mixed with a flirtatious soul, and wrapped in a body that could be used as a prototype for all men…and as if that wasn’t enough, Jen is the true beauty of this couple – absolutely gorgeous!) Alright, enough already and let’s see some of the goods – Enjoy!

New Look…Same Ol’ Blog

Umm…you may have noticed that it looks a little different around here…but don’t be scared! It’s the same ol’ blog, it’s just spruced up a little bit, that’s all! So keep on bloggin’, homeslices!

Oh…and one more thing.Â Have you ever considered using Firefox as your internet browser?Â It’s much more friendly that stinky old Internet Explorer (sorry Microsoft, but it’s true.)Â The internet is a far more enjoyable and a much better looking thing through the eyes of Firefox.Â Check out the link here!Â That’s it, go and blog.

Brock & Shauna!

Yesterday evening (that’s right…two in a row from the previous day…amazing) came to an absolutely lovely close with a visit from new friends of the Otis & James Circus, the one and only (well, there’s actually two) Brock & Shauna!

It seemed as if perhaps they had been practicing for weeks for this event, but I’m here to report that all of this just came effortlessly to them. How could this be? How could a couple pull this off unless they had been in a rigorous training regimen, plotting and planning their poses…knowing just how and when to work the camera. I mean, they must have been like Rocky Balboa getting ready to fight Drago in Rocky IV…holed up in some barn in the middle of Siberia, running up mountains with a log strapped across their backs. This is what I thought, this is what I thought.

Alas, there was no such regimen, only effortless beauty eminating from this couple. It may have something to do with love…whoa…am I getting all Lifetime on y’all?? Alright, I think it’s time for me to stop before I get to deep, and just throw out a quick thank you to this wonderful couple, and to all our there in the world of blog – Enjoy!
