Holy Moly! It’s Madeline & Hannah!

How do we get so lucky to work with such lovely ladies all the time?  You got me.  I ain’t got no answer.  All I know is that it’s how it is, and I’m not complaining.

So these words will be brief, they will end now, but not before we give a bucket full of MuchLove to this dynamic duo for giving us some of their sweet & precious time.  And to the rest of you out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!

Kaela & Josh

Oh well hello there, my good people of Blogville!  I come to you today in the name of peace.  Wait.  That’s my speech for when I finally land on Mars.  I come to you today with something just as wonderful as that, though…the sweetly samplesnaps from the fabulous wedding of Kaela & Josh!

It was on a day not all that long ago that the Otis & James Caravan of Love pulled out of the Minot station, pointed to the North & East, and headed to a land of giant turtles called Bottineau!  And, my dear dear friends, we didn’t head there just to go waterskiing on Metigoshe.  Oh no, we were there to be a part of this totally awesome wedding, and how lucky we were to have been!

Now, I’m going to tell you why we were so lucky.  Because the day was beautiful, the bride & groom were gorgeous, and everyone else that worked with us couldn’t have been any more wonderful.  Once again, we just showed up with the camera, and everyone else made all the magic!  Oh, my good peeps, I could go on and on and on about this glorious couple, but I will spare you all of my silly words.  Instead, I will just offer up a huge MuchLove & ManyThanks to Kaela & Josh, and now I’m going to tell all my good citizens of Blogville to – Enjoy!

Scribble Scrabble…YES!!!! It’s LJ & Reba (& Aunt Jamie Too!)

Do you know when life is good?  It’s good when the doors of the FunCenter open up and who should show up but our favorite nephew/godson LJ shows up…life is very good then!  I mean, life is always pretty darn good, but the sun shines just a little brighter, and the birds chirp just a little bit louder when our little buddy shows up in good ol’ Minot!

And, as usual, he came on in to the FunCenter to have some supersweet snaps taken of him (you see, he was going to be in a wedding, so he had a totally awesome tuxedo & a nice pair of new kicks to go with it.  So…we couldn’t let this opportunity pass us up.  You see, when your godparents own the photo studio, and they don’t have any children of their own, he’s pretty much guaranteed to get a lot of pics taken of him.

But the thing about is that he’s really, really good at working the camera.  Model good.  I know, you’re probably sitting there in your your comfortable blog homes thinking that I’m just saying this because of who he is, but really – he’s good.  And this time, to prove where he got it from, I’m going to put up a couple of pics of Mom & Aunt Jamie so you can see where he gets all of his skills from (the good looks from Dad are a pretty sweet thing too!)

But enough of all this scribblescrabble.  We need to get to the part when we tell you just how much me love LJ, and how how we wish him, Mom & Dad MuchLove 24/7, 365!  Oh, and to you – the faithful of blog – Enjoy!

Tasha & Tayten!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself.  When I was young, and the world was an open book…I used to say live and let live.  But more so than that, I was kind of an awkward dude, and that’s an understatement.  There are photographs of this time of my life out there, but they are best left in albums stuffed inside of Rubbermaid® totes (I love using the ‘registered’ sign!) and packed into a closet.  And definitely, when I was young I sure wouldn’t be cool enough or confident enough to have my picture put up on a thing like Land of Blog, that’s for sure.

Basically, I was the complete opposite of the ever lovely Tasha & Tayten!  You see, this dynamic duo is cool, confident, friendly, and dang – they photograph up real good (I love speaking like I’m from the deep South ((no offense to anyone from the deep South)))!

On that awesome day not all that long ago when they strolled into FunCenter, they came in and showed us what the deal was.  They blasted on in and straight up brought the goods.  The A-Game.  Indubitably, my dear citizens of Blogville, they did all of this and more.  I don’t know what kind of magic they possess, but whatever it is I wish I had some of it back in the day.

But really, do I need to keep on blabbering on about how awesome they are when I can just tell you to look beneath these words and see with your own two eyes just how awesome they are?  No!  So I will stop, give a big ol’ helping of MuchLove & ManyThanks to this Bro & Sis team, and to tell all of my good peeps out there in Land of Blog digging in for another work week – Enjoy!

The Family McDermott!

And now, as I write at this late hour of the night, I ask myself, ‘Self, how could life get just a little bit better?’, and the answer that I come up with is that by taking a look at some supersweet samplesnaps from the one & only Family McDermott!  Actually, I’m not really sure if every single person in this family has that last name, but that’s what we’re going to go with.  Really, it’s just the title of the post, I know the real reason you’re here is not for these words, but to see all the beautiful smiling & happy faces that are in these pics!

And, my dear Peeps of Blog, the people that are in these pics are truly, absolutely 100% gorgeous!  We had a wonderful time working with this group, and the results were fantastical magical!  I wish we could take credit for this, but the real reason for the pics being so great is that each & every one of the peeps in these pics were fabulous, and we just happened to be there with the camera.

But enough of all these words, it’s time to put them to sleep, give a huge MuchLove & ManyThanks to one & all that made these pics so great, and to all my Children of Blog – Enjoy!

The Family Schimke!

I’m just going to cut to the chase on this one.  You see, my dear Friends of Blog, I could bore you with all sorts of crazy words that really don’t make much sense about this, that, or the other thing [ed.  What?], but I’m not going to do that.  Nope.  We’re going to have none of that.

Instead, I’m just going to give you the straight dope.  And do you want to know what the straight dope is?  Well, I don’t have time to wait for your answer, I’m just going to give it to you.  The Family Schimke strolled on in to the FunCenter on a day not all that long ago, gave us some of their sweet & precious time, and made what we in the business like to call ‘Pictographic Magic.’

And that, my dear Friends of Blog, is the straight dope.

Without any further delay, gonna take one second and give MuchLove & ManyThanks to this wondrous family for gracing us with their presence, and to you – all you lovely peeps tucked in to your beds during this late hour of the night – Enjoy!

The Family Henne!

Time for a math equation.  Ready?  Here goes.  Actually, this is more of a math statement.  And, I don’t really know if that is even a term, because it’s been a long time since I’ve actually been in a math class, but to all you kidz out there reading this, stay in school and take lots of math classes – the universe is built up on it.

OK.  Are you still ready?  Because here goes for real.  Awesome = The Family Henne.

Now, I just know this to be a fact.  I’ll leave it to all of the math geeks out there to prove it to me via there fancy numbers and what not, but all I got to do to prove it is to have you look at these totallysweet samplesnaps at the bottom of this page, and that’s gonna prove this statement.  Straight up.  Alright, we gotta put these fancy words to bed, give a big ol’ MuchLove to this wonderful family for giving us a little bit of their sweet & precious time, and tell all you peeps out there in Land of Blog to – Enjoy!
