Chris & Amber

There was a time, and there was this place. This time, it shall be called a couple of Thursdays ago. This place, it very well could be called the FunCenter. And in these places, there could be this couple, and their names could very well be (and I’m pretty sure…in fact I’m positive that they are), Chris & Amber!

They just might have come down to this place, at this time, for a specific reason. This reason very well might have been to have some totally awesome e.pics (and again, if you truly want to be hip to the blog, you gotta call them e.pics, but if being hip isn’t your bag, I will translate this kool to you and let you know that I mean engagement pics…but I swear this is the last time that I’m gonna do this for you!) taken, and they just may have been taking these photo-graphs because someday, someday soon, they will be making some wedding photo-graphs at their wedding.

I’m gonna say thank you to Chris & Amber for being so friendly, and for coming in on the tail end of a day (I do love the nightlife!), and for the rest o’ you peeps; you’re all gonna have to figure out what it is that is going on here. Best of luck, and – Enjoy!

Carly, Another Carly, Another Awesome Carly, Dang man…Carly.

Like, I don’t know what the story is. I don’t come to you tonight proclaiming to have all of the answers, or to have anything really figured out. I can’t tell you the reason why the sun and the moon are the way that they are. I can’t tell you the reason for love, war, or anything else. I don’t know why we are, or what the meaning of anything really is. In fact, there are only a couple of things that I know for certain.

I know that I am, and that this is. I also know that this past Thursday the doors to the FunCenter for Fun and Thought opened up, and into our lives should walk the one…the only…Carly.

Now, for those of you that are astute followers of all things blog (and I know who you are…I know who you are), you may notice that this makes two new peeps that share the same name in the same week. There was the first Carly, and then there was Carly, Another Carly. Now (and I know that I am all about starting sentences with the word ‘now’, but really this is really ((and think about that wordly perverted collection)) crazy, because this new Carly, this Carly v.2.0 was totally and completely awesome, and I’m not just talkin’ smack, I’m straight up. Another Carly. Another dose of awesome. Dang.

Now, (and again, what is the dilly-yo with me and starting my sentences with that word? Have I really exhausted all of my word opportunities? Is everything going to start with ‘Now’ from here on out?) back to the matter at hand, and that was our time spent with Carly. I could go on and tell you all sorts of stuff about just how awesome she was, or just how hard she rocked, but is that really my role? After a long day of doing whatever it is that the devotees of the blog do while not here do, do they (the collective you reading this) really need me to tell you about how awesome she was? Do you really need me to go on and on and on about how much fun the Ladies of James had during thier shoot, and how we couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the day? No. quite simply, you don’t need me to tell you these things.

So instead, (hey, no now!) I will just leave you with a quick thank you to Carly for being so awesome, and to all of you out there in the land of blog – Enjoy!

Nicole, And Nuthin’ But Nicole!

I don’t know what that title means, but any excuse to use the word ‘nuthin” in something other than a showtune or a blues song is fabulous! Did I just say showtune and fabulous in the same sentence? Mercy, me.

Moving on, I come to you today with good news! Yesterday evening, we had the goodness gracious great ol’ time of being able to finish up the shoot of the one and only (and again, I’m sure there are more with the same name, but not in this post) Nicole!

As with the last time we worked with her, she was totally and completely awesome, and everything that she did was totally and completely awesome! In fact, it was awesome to the power of 15. And if you know anything about awesome and math, that is an unfathomable amount of awesome.

But I don’t want to bust your brains open with all of this talk of math, we can save that for boring ol’ school (no offense school, I’m just basing this off of my own experiences…I think I’m digging a hole here, and it’s time for me to get out), let us now take a minute to say thanks to Nicole for stopping down on an evening so fine, and to all of my peeps keepin’ it real in the land of blog – Enjoy!

Ryan, Flying Through The Air With Skill & Ease!

It would appear that we have found the person that can fly.

I don’t know who it is that we should notify, but this – at least to me – seems like pretty big news. There are all sorts of people that can walk, or run, or sit, or stand, but I only know of this one that can fly. And there are like, 100,000 people out there in the world, and to be the only one that can do this is some pretty crazy stuff. Like, the odds must be one in a million or something crazy like that. I mean, I’m not mathemetician or anything, but I think that my estimate may even be a little low.

So, I’ll just leave it up to you, the collective you that is out there, and not currently sitting at my kitchen table, to figure out what to do. What I am gonna do now is thank Ryan for stopping down to the FunCenter, and for being a gem, a real gem to work with. And seriously, Ryan, when was the last time you were called a gem? A’ight. Let’s forget all of these words (they are all disposble, you can’t take them with you when you’re done), and get to the snaps – Enjoy!

Heather!

We continued with our SuperSummerSeniorSnaps with a visit from from none other than old friend of Otis & James, the lovely and talented Heather! I say ‘old friend’, because we have had the good pleasure of working with her before, and because her older sis was one of the very first peeps to have their SeniorPics taken by good ol’ O&J. So she’s family…la familia! That’s I-talian for ‘Family’, in case you were wonderin’.

So, just because we’ve worked with her before (and she rocked then), and her older sis was the originator of the O&J rock, this by no means means (too many means, but I don’t know how else to do it, so just bear with me) a guarantee that our time together was going to be one that was filled with tons of awesome snaps. Well, should I leave all of you out there in suspense, or should I let you know what the verdict was…suspense…suspense…drama…intrigue…and the verdict is…not good, but we’re talkin’ totally awesome!

Let me be clear with you on that, she was totally freakin’ awesome! We had a great time during our short stay with Heather, and we would like to thank her for being such a treat. Hip Hip – Enjoy!

Carly, Why You Gotta Be So Good?

Huh? Can you tell me? You’ve set the bar too high, and I don’t know what we’re gonna do about that. Everyone else is gonna have to try just a li’l bit harder when they enter the doors of the FunCenter for Fun and Cereal Research. Do you see what you’ve done? You’ve let the Genie out of the bottle…you’ve opened Pandora’s Box…You’ve gone through a red light in the middle of the night when nobody is around…you’ve altered the very fabric of existence that we thought we had known about seniorsnaps. But that’s OK.

And do you want to know why this is OK? Because it had to be done, and we’re just happy it was you that did it. Oh man, our time with you was awesome, and it was sad when the time came for you to walk back out of the doors of the FunCenter. Carly giveth, and Carly taketh away. But that’s how life goes, we’re just happy we got to spend a little bit o’ quality time with you – you rocked!

I could go on and on and on about this, but I think that I would just make people irritated, because I will be delaying them as they venture to the land of samplesnaps to see what it is I’m talking about, so we’ll just say thanks for rocking so tough. And to all of you out there in the blog of land reading this, you rock too. And to one and all – Enjoy!

Ladies & Gentlemen…it’s Adam!

Our Monday past kept on keepin’ on the vibe of all things good with a visit from new friend to Otis & James, the man himself…Adam! We had the good golly great pleasure of working with brother of Adam this last year, so we knew from our past experiences with brothers & sisters that Adam was going to be good to work with. And guess what, all of you out there in blogland, he did not disappoint!

He had a ton of great ideas, and wasn’t afraid to try anything…this is what we call the perfect subject (which kind of makes it sound like we are performing experiments back in the Studio o’ FunCenter, but even though it looks dark & mysterious, I assure you that there are no experiments, other than my attempt at making a fully working robot from empty pop cans and old Star Magazines…so far I only have two legs made out of popcans with pictures from the magazine ripped out and taped all over the ‘robot’, but I think that it is only a matter of time until I achieve AI.)

Back to the matter at hand, and that’s Adam. What can I say about him, other than he was a blast to work with (as was his assistant and long time friend to O&J, Mom!), and we got some supergreatsnaps! But why just look at these words and be content, when just a few short words away there is proof of my statements. So – Enjoy!

Monday Morning, Kristian Rocking.

Do you think that we could ever just leave one of these posts at the title only? Like, we could just have the title of a wedding post be ‘Bob & Samantha Got Married’, and that would just be it. Or for a Senior, we could have ‘Robert Will Graduate, And Here’s Photographs’.

I think that this new ‘Straight Ahead’ system will really revolutionize ‘the blog’ (what’s the dilly-yo with me and quotation marks lately?) You see, you would be able to skip over all of these muddled attempts at getting a point accross, and just go straight to the snaps. I know I’ve said this before, but I know that all of you are here for the snaps, and I’m just amusing myself with all of these characters.

Again, for example, if this new system was in place for this post, we would know that on this past Monday morning, the doors of the FunCenter opened up and who should walk into our lives than the man himself, Kristian. And instead of putting on an album of Kenny G (no offense, KennyBoy), and being kind of bunk, he rocked. And when you rock, everything is good.

When you rock, it’s all good.

So, let me know what you think, and while you’re thinking about this new idea, how about we take a moment to thank Kristian for stopping down, and to all of you all of you all out there in the land of blog – Enjoy!
