The Family Hoffarth!

This is yet another in the ‘The Family (Insert Name Here)’ series, and next up was the absolutely wonderful Family Hoffarth!

The dazzled us with their grace elegance, and good humor as they tore the studio up with their totaly rocking and rolling skills!

I would like to go on and on and on with a volumous post about whole bunches of nothing, but I would be taking away from your time that you could be looking at the lovely picto-graphs! And even though I live in a delusional world in which I believe that people are here for the words, I have to accept the reality that you’re really here for the snaps. I accept that, and I still love all of you. Ying & Yang! Bitter & Sweet! Peas & Carotts!

We would like to thank them for taking the time to visit us, and for all of you out there in land of blog – Enjoy!

Andrea!

And our Tuesday just kept on a keepin’ on, and next up on our cavalcade of SuperStars was the one and only, the lovely and talented, Andrea! She came down to the FunCenter not just for fun and to be in the center, but instead for some totallyawesomeseniorsnaps!

Well, where do we go from here? Do I start to ramble some incoherent nonsense about whatever it is that pops into my head (which, at the moment, my head seems to be on the fritz, and the only thing that keeps coming into my head is…well…nothing, so to write about nothing would not really be quite right), or do I go on to tell you how awesome Andrea was to work with, and how she couldn’t have been any better to work with, or will I just thank her for coming down to the FunCenter and giving us some of her sweet and precious time?

Or, by explaining that, did I actually just do those things? Whoa. Mind. Officially. Blown.

Well, what I said, and prolly a whole lot more! So, – Enjoy!

The Children Strand!

This past Tuesday morning, we got off to a great start with a visit from The Children strand! They shimmied their way into our studio, and were ready to rock up a sweetsweet portrait session, and do just that is exactly what they did!

‘Twas as if they had been practicing for months for this moment, because they were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had a wonderful time with this lovely group, and we would like to thank one and all for coming down to the FunCenter, and for giving us a little bit of yo’ prescious Tuesday Time!

Alright, here we go – Enjoy!

SSHP v.6 :: The Family Kopp!

Puppies make a family. And that’s that.

Our day came to a wonderful conclusion with a visit to the FunCenter from the Family Kopp! They, along with their wonderful puppies finished off the day for us with style, class and grace!

Everyone was ready for some awesomesnaps, the puppies were on their best behviour, and it was the icing on the cake for a day that was filled with nothing but Holiday Wonderfulness! MuchLove and ManyThanks to this lovely group for stopping down to the land of o&j, and to all of you out there outside of the land of o&j (the land of blog), I wish you good tidings, and – Enjoy!

SSHP v.5 :: The Family Knittel!

Sometimes you have miles of fun, acres of fun, boatloads (which, if you have a bad North Dakotan accent, you should stay away from saying) of fun, tons of fun, oodles of fun, extreme fun, and sometimes you have straight up fun in the FunCenter!

The visit from The Family Knittel was straight up fun! They weren’t messing around, from the looks of it, this family is used to having fun. They might even do it just for the heck of it, and not just when the cameras are rolling. That’s the kind of fun that went down during their time here!

We had a wonderful time working with them, and we wish them all the best during this holiday season (man, that expression doesn’t get any more generic, does it? But, we truly do!), and we thank them for giving us some of their prescious Sunday Time in order to get some superawesomefamilytimesnaps! ManyThanks, MuchLove, and all the rest – Enjoy!

SSHP v.4 :: The Family Horton!

Our time with totally wonderful families continued with a visit to the FunCenter by The Family Horton! And do you know what they did? No, they didn’t build an aeroplane and fly to the moon, and they didn’t ride a team of zebra’s down Main Street in a triumphant parade, and they didn’t make the worlds largest ball of twine, only to find out that somebody else had already made a bigger one, oh no, they did none of these things. Let me tell you what they did do.

They straight up, flat out, without a doubt (hey…that just might be poetry!) rocked. And you can take that to the bank, deposit it, and let it gather interest, because that statement is as good as gold!

We would like to thank The Family Horton for taking time off from their day of rest (isn’t that what Sunday is supposed to be? I’ve only read of this phenomena before) and stopping down to the FunCenter, and to them and all my little people of blog out there in the late fall night – Enjoy!

SSHP v.3 :: The Family Young!

The LoveFest at the FunCenter (which, makes it sound like there were a bunch of unwashed hippies hanging around, but, we’ve learned the hard way that having a bunch of unwashed hippies hanging around your place of business is not the best idea for attracting customers, now – don’t get me wrong – I LURVE the hippies, I used to think of myself as being one ((except I was never really able to achieve that state of mellowness that is needed to truly be a hippie – I like my drama, my angst a little too much)), it’s just that the time change, and you gotta pull that Volkswagon Bus, and your HackeySack, and your Patchouli, and your glowsticks, and get to the back of the building, and you can’t bother our customers any more with your tales of the Fall ’97 Phish tour…WE’VE HEARD IT A BILLION TIMES!! Seriously, we know that you heard them play a 90 version of Tweezer ((which, I might add, I find hard to believe, but I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt)), but the band doesn’t even exist anymore) continued with a visit from The Family Young!

We had a wonderful time working with this lovely family (deja vu?), and we would like to thank them for taking a break from their lovely Sunday and stopping down to the FunCenter! Well, me think it time for us to leave behind these words, and get to some samplesnaps – Enjoy!

SSHP v.2 :: The Chelsea Edition!

Up next on the cavalcade of loveliness was a visit from the one and only Chelsea (and, if this is not the correct way to spell your name, all you gotta do is leave a comment saying what the correct spelling is, and I will go ahead and make the change, because, like, all that we have is your lovely and talented Mother’s name, and, I’m pretty sure that you don’t want me to call this the ‘Donita Edition’, but if I did, her friends might look at the site and be all like, ‘Whoa…Donita has discovered the fountain of youth!’, and that would kind of be false advertising, so, just let me know…umm…yeah…back to post) for some sweetsweetholidaysnaps!

We have wored with other members of this family before, so – again – we knew that she was going to be good, but what we didn’t know was just how good she was going to be! Photogenic is an understatement…she straight up OWNED (and, that’s in all caps, mind you) the shoot! Dang! That’s good!

Our time with Chelsea flew by, and it was time for us to part ways before we even knew it…perhaps our paths will cross again, but for now let us just sit back and enjoy these sample snaps – MuchLove, and – Enjoy!

SSHP v.1 :: The Family Egeberg!

It all (and, of course, by ‘it all’, I mean the Super Sunday Holiday Pics…come on now, you gotta stick with me on this, my peeps!) got off to a righteouslyrocking start with a visit from the Family Egeberg!

We have had the good pleasure of working with this family before (at least I think we did…if memory serves me, and often time it doesn’t…in fact most of the time it doesn’t, and, I may actually just be thinking that we’ve worked with them before, but it seems like there was a wedding…because the last name is a name that I am familiar with on the wedding side of life, but, I guess that I never really asked them anything to confirm whether we’ve worked with them before, but, if memory serves, and again, it usually doesn’t, I seem to recall that the lovely, talented, and pierced James said something to that extent, but, then again, there are many things that she says to me, and often times I will drift, not because of her, but because that is how I am programmed to run, but, what does this really have to do with the Family Egeberg, because, if we have worked with them before, that’s cool, but if we haven’t, that’s cool too, so again, to reiterate, not quite sure what the real story is, but I’m just going to have you out there in blogland make your own decision, and that’s what we’ll go with as the answer), so we had a pretty good idea that they were going to rock, and they did not disappoint!

We had a superfantastic time working with this lovely family, and we wish them all many toys from Santa! Many thanks to them for stopping down to the FunCenter, and to all of you lovely peeps out in the sphere of blog – Enjoy!
