Month: September 2006

If there was a song that would have been specially written for our conclusion shoot for the one and only Brett, the song would be called, simple…Rocking.

Because this is the only thing that Brett knew how to do…Rock. And the act of Rock is called, ironically, Rocking. I’m not even sure if ironic is the best word to use, and i know we’ve been down this road discussing what really is ironic, and how so many people think they know what irony is, but they’re really sadly wrong. But we’ll get ’em. Alright, let’s get back to Brett.

Our Sunday past couldn’t have come to any better of an end, and it’s all because of Brett and all the hard work he did during the shoot – we’re only as good as our subject, and today we were awesome. I’ll let you do the math on that. Much Love to one and all!

Enjoy!

Hailey, Hailey…where do I begin? Where should I begin to tell the story of our time together down here at the FunCenter for Fun? There are just so many things that I could go on and on and on about, and even though I’m sure that all of you all out there in the world of blog would love to see me type and type and type until your eyes are about ready to fall out of your heads, but I’m not gonna do that.

No, I think I’m just going to throw some thoughts out there. Here’s one: Hailey, you straight up are a rock star of the highest degree, and it is us that should be paying you for the honor to take your picture (now, I will still take your money, so don’t expect any sort of a refund.)

Here’s another: You worked the shoot like a pro – you knew exactly what to do and when to do it.

Yet, another: I asked you to make me proud with the rest of your shoot, and you delivered…big time. And big time is a lot. More than just normal…it’s ‘big time.’

You know, I could throw these thoughts out there all day about our time, but I know why all you all are here, and it’s not these crummy words. You’re here to see if Hailey is able to back up all my braggin’ up I’ve been doing about her session. Well, there’s practically no reason to even look, because are there really any doubts that Hailey was going to rock it up?? Heck no!

Alright, enough of all this insanity, let’s just think about this: Hailey, you rocked, and we had a great time working with you (it seems like we’ve been working together all summer!) Thanks be to you for being so awesome, and to all of you vagabonds out there in blogland – Enjoy!

Sunday morning. What does this term mean to you? Does it represent the quiet start to another week, filled with coffee, a big breakfast and the Sunday paper? To most, this may be the answer, but to a certain person that goes by the name of Jason, Sunday morning means it’s time to tear it up on some good ol’ fashioned SeniorSnaps!

He wasn’t gonna take any time for your lazy Sunday activities…oh no. He was gonna get down to buisness and show us just what we really mean when we throw out terms like ‘awesometacular.’ Let me be the first to tell you this, my fellow bloggers, he tore it up, and threw it down, and then tore it up again. Do you got that? He TORE IT UP AGAIN! Now that’s just straight cra-zay.

Mucho Thankos (that’s Greek) to Jason for being so goodly great to work with, and to all of you warming yourselves by the gentle glow of your computers – Enjoy!

Our week of working with nothing but the finest that this town, or any town, for that matter, has to offer continued with a visit from the one and only Christina! And to what did we owe this great pleasure too, you ask??!! Well, she came down to get some awesomelysuperseniorsnaps, and I’m here to reassure you that do just this she did!

What does this mean to you, the average blogger? It means that you are about to look at some truly wonderful snaps of Christina! I mean, there could have been some OK senior snaps, but Christina would have none of that. You see, she was not going to settle for anyting less that perfection, and if you take a sneak peak just a little bit below this gabfest that I’m in the middle of typing, you will see what I mean.

So, instead of continuing to bore you with all sorts of mundane things, I will just now take a second to thank Christina for being so wonderful to work with – you rocked! And to all of you sitting patiently in blogland – Enjoy!

I bet you thought that things couldn’t get any better with our Seniors. It’s like, your on the beach in Jamaica, the sun is shining, you have not a worry in the world, and then, you win the lottery. That’s what it’s like around here. Except we don’t have a beach…well…we have Nelson Carlson, but that isn’t quite the same as Jamaica. And this was again proven to be true as the doors to the FunCenter opened up this past week and we welcomed the absolutely wonderful and talented Nicole to our warm & friendly confines!

She proved herself to be an absolutely wonderful person to work wth, as the Ladies of James have reported back to me during our post-session debriefing that their time together was filled to the brim with sweetsweetseniorsweetness, and she made their time together, quite simply…magical!

Now, I don’t know if she actually performed any magic, and it would be cool if she had brough a top hat and pulled a bunny from it, but that’s cool if she didn’t. Because by giving us these superawesomesamplesnaps (what is going on with me and these words, they asked), she has already done more than enough.

So, I will now say ‘thank you’ to Nicole A…as in Awesome for being, as your name states, awesome, and to all you all out there in the land of blog – Enjoy!

You know what? Our week that was continued to amaze us, as the doors to the FunCenter opened up and lo, who should stand before us but none other than the One and Only, Reggie! And, in case you have suffered some sort of a brain trauma and are not quite sure what it is that we are currently in the midst of (and let me give you a hint before I give you an answer: ther is not a bride in the photograph, so that eliminates weddings), he came down for some SuperSweetSeniorSnaps!

Now, we had the good fortune of working with a young lady in the year past that just happens to be this young mans sister, so again – we knew from good ol’ genetics that Reggie was going to be awesome. But, again, it’s almost as if these brothers and sisters of Seniors past learn something from those which have gone before, because it’s like they are like…better.

Ummm…you got that?

Moving on, our time with Reggie was filled with awesome snaps, as he knew what it was that he wanted to get, and I can assure you as I type this, that what he gave and what he got are awesome. He was great to work with, and the Ladies of James reported back to me that their time together was not good…it was great. Alright. I’ve spent too much of your prescious time on all of these words, and I think that it is time for us to look at some sweet sample snaps – Enjoy!

Our week that was kept on keeping on, like a bird that flew, with a visit from the one and only, the man with a plan our new friend – Tyler! Why, you ask, were we so lucky as to be visited from such a friendly friend? Simple. To get some superawesomeseniorsnaps!

He, along with the ladies of James (that’s what I’m going to call you now, as it rolls off of the tongue a little easier than ‘the ladies of o&j’, or ‘the ladies of otis’ – even though that last one is my fav, I know that there is no way in a million gajillion years that you would ever go for that, especially seeing as how I mostly just take out the trash, and it is the Ladies of James (LOJ) that do the good ((read: important)) stuff) went here and there and to and fro in search of some good snaps, and I’m here today to report that good snaps were indeed found. So rest easy.

With this in mind, I think that it’s time for us to venture a little further down, just right below these words, and take a little time to look at the shiny pictures that are, Tyler – Enjoy!

SeniorSnaps from the week past continued to rock our socks off, as the doors of the FunCenter opened up and a young man by the name of Mark came down and showed the meaning of superawesomeseniorsnaps. Oh, we thought we knew the meaning of this word before, but as it turns out, we only had an inkling of the true meaning…but this was soon to change.

I feel like that last line should be said by that guy that does the voiceover work for movie trailers. Getting back to the point, Mark came down to the FunCenter, and as the name implies, fun was indeed had by all. One and all. All in all. All together now, we all had fun! Come on people now, smile on your brother…whoa, I’m sorry…back to the current day.

Mark & the ladies of o&j had a wonderful time working together, and Mark was filled to the brim with totally righteously awesome ideas. In fact, one of the ideas was truly righteous (I’ll just let y’all out there in bloggywood figure out which ones I mean by that.) Taking into consideration all of these elements, is it any wonder that the Senior Portraits of Mark are totally awesome? No. I’m going to just answer my question for you.

Well, I could go on and tell you all sorts of stuff about all sorts of things, but I don’t think that any of you out there really want to know any more stuff from me than you already do, got it? Dig. Mucho Thanks (that’s Italian for ‘many’) to Mark for being so great, and to all of you, the collective that is blogger – Enjoy!

He Is…The Champion.
