BMWNROR v.24 :: The Kristen & Brock Edition!

My dear people of blog, out there sitting at your digital workstations reading this.  I’m going to make this short & sweet (which also used to be a nickname of much of my 7th grade year.)  All you gotta do is look at the totallyawesome samplesnaps right beneath these words (no peaking!) to understand how awesome a couple Kristen & Brock are.

Seriously.

You don’t believe me?  All I gotta say to you is…well…before I say that, I’m gonna give MuchLove & ManyThanks to this lovely couple for giving us a little bit of their time for these pics, and now, all I gotta say to you is – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.23 :: Once Again, The Family Butz & Ziegler Edition!

As the title says, once again we had the superawesome good pleasure of working with this lovely family!  They strolled into the FunCenter, and made their photographic magic as usual.  You see, my dear friends, they are old pro’s at this, so they pretty much know exactly what the story is, and how it’s done.  I’m thinking they could probably teach classes on how to work it.  Because that’s exactly what they did.

We had a wondrous time working with one and all, and can’t wait until we see them all again!  MuchLove & Many Thanks to them, and to all my goodly readers of blog – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.22 :: The Children Collins Edition!

Did you know The Children Collins are also in a family band that plays a cross between Jazz & Norwegian Speed Metal, and they all play banjo’s?  I know.  It’s wild.  Well…at least I think it’s The Children Collins.  Sometimes I have difficulties separating my dream life from my real life.

Either way, they look good!  I hope they use one of these images on their album, if they are really in that band and it wasn’t just a dream.  MuchLove & ManyThanks to this wonderful family for giving us some of their sweet time, and to all the people down the block in Blogland – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.21 :: The Jordyn & Taylor Edition!

Continuing with this never ending saga of bloggery are the lovely pics of the always wonderful Jordyn & Taylor!  I’m not going to waste a bunch of your time with all sorts of word here, but just know that how could we go wrong with two ladies so lovely??!!

We had an awesome time working with them, and would like to give MuchLove & ManyThanks to them and their personal assistant for coming down to FunCenter and for making our time together so great, and to all my good citizens of Blogville enjoying a hot Summer day – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.20 :: The Hannah Edition!

Did you know that the name ‘Hannah’, roughly means ‘favored grace’?  I didn’t either, but after looking it up, it seems to make sense.  Because when Hannah strolled on into the FunCenter for her superawesome pictosnaps, I would say that  – without a doubt – she lived up to her name!

Grace, in itself, is such a beautiful word; there are a couple of different meanings, but if you just look at the one that is ‘simple elegance’, then Hannah, indeed, is favored grace!  But, you know what, I’m getting all analytical with this.  These words need to be stopped, and I need to back up these words with proof.  And back up with proof I shall, and it shall be done with a couple of superawesome samplesnaps!  Before we get to the goods, however, we gotta give MuchLove to Hannah and her assistants for giving us some love, and to all my good peeps out there in Land of Blog enjoying a warm Summer night – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.19 :: The Lindsay & Darin Edition!

There was a land and a time, a long long time ago…to be exact…it seems like we were not even at our current location, when we were first introduced to this couple, and now, oh so many years in the future, we found ourselves lucky enough to work with them for the first time (I’ll give you a hint what they’re next time will be – she’ll be wearing a wedding dress), and what a wonderful time it was!

I’m not sure if that paragraph made any sense, but these words really don’t need to make much sense, all that they really need to do is convey the idea that Lindsay & Darin came to FunCenter, and they rocked it up.  Straight up.  No lie.  MmmmmHmmmm.

So, now that you know the story, me thinks it be time to put these words to bed, give MuchLove & ManyThanks to Lindsay & Darin for stopping by and being so wonderful to work with, and say to all of me peeps out in Blogland – Enjoy!

BMWNROR v.18 :: The Carson Edition!

After a failed first attempt for our shoot with Carson (dang you, Mother Nature with your hardcore rain!), but it was all for the best, because on this – our second go around – the results were fantastic.  Carson, and his lovely assistant (Mom, if you will) came with us to the park, brought a little bit of furniture, and made a little bit of pictographic magic!

But really, folks, how could you not with a young man as lovely as Carson, as he always brings the charm to the FunCenter, or to any other place he happens to be at.  Right now, I’m sure, wherever he is, the room is twice as bright!  Which, again, helps out with electricity bills.  He’s eco-friendly!  I tell you, this kid just won’t quit being awesome!

Well, enough of these words, let’s get to the samplesnaps.  But before we do, I gotta tell my good peeps of blogworld to – Enjoy!

And to you, my intrepid resident of Blogville – Enjoy!

BMWNROR :: Day 3 Update

Hello there ladies and gentlemen of the blog!  After a period of just a little over two days, we’re picking up where we left off at again.  You see, if I were to overload you with everything at the exact same time, there’s a pretty fair chance that your heads might just explode with all of the beautiful samplesnaps that would be filling your synapses.  And we don’t want that to happen, because we’re totally not insured for it.

So, ready or not, to quote Whitesnake, Here we go again [ed.  Actually, I don’t think that quote is correct, and there is a sentence that comes after that, but I’ll let it slide]!  And if I’m quoting Whitesnake, it’s an awesome Saturday.

BMWNROR v.16 :: The Alison & Jason Edition!

Gather ’round the digital glow of your computers, my dear friends, for I’m about to weave a yarn (that’s authentic frontier gibberish for ‘tell a story’) about a couple of old and dear friends to the Otis & James FunCenter, none other than the always wonderful and beautiful Alison & Jason!

It seems just like yesterday, and yet it seems like a lifetime ago that they first entered into our lives.  We were at our old location, and I’m pretty sure that Jamie was still in High School.  Anyway, they strolled on into our lives, we took some snaps, and they told us that they were going to be getting married in a few years, and wanted us to be a part of the day!

Now, at first, Otis was excited, because he thought that he might be asked to be the flowergirl, but after he calmed down Jamie helped him realize that we would be the photog’s.  That’s professional speak for ‘photographer’, or ‘pictosnapper’, in case you were wondering.  At the time, it seemed wild to book us for something that was so far in the distance.  I remember way back when they booked us, everyone thought that by 2008 there would be flying cars, and we would all have food replicators in our kitchens, and robot’s named Rosie would clean our houses for us.  Alright, so apparently I thought the future was going to be an episode of The Jetson’s, but I’m not a scientist, alright.  Cut me some slack here.

Well, the days led to weeks, and those led to months, and before we knew it, we were staring down this momentous and once oh so far away day right in the face!  And I’m going to let you in on a little secret.  All of the anticipation, all of the hype leading up to this day – it was all worth it; because the day was totally and completely wonderful!

This was made possible not via a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, this was made possible neither from viewers like you, it was made possible by none other than Alison, Jason the Wedding Party and their families!  They were all wonderful, and we truly thank them for making the day so great!

Well, I’ve sauntered down this avenue of words a little bit too long, and it’s now time for us to give MuchLove & ManyThanks to this lovely couple for letting us be a part of their day, and to all the good people of blogville enjoying an evening so wonderful – Enjoy!
