Rollin’ With Katie

This afternoon we were joined by Katie and her family for some Totally Sweet Senior Portraits. They came to our studio, and brought with them two of the biggest props we have ever worked with. The smell of gasoline was a welcome addition to the studio (mmmmmm….gasoline), and these props were not only great, but more importantly Katie was absolutely great to work with (and so was her family!)

We thank them for taking the time to visit us here in the land of Otis & James, and want to let them know how much fun we had working together. Enough of all my talking, let’s get on with the snappy-snaps – Enjoy!

Nikki in the AM!

This morning, we had the great pleasure of working with the totally and completely awesome Nikki (or as I like to type, Nikke)! She was joined by special guest star/sister Miranda – which we were acquainted with from a previous shoot. We awoke to find that the sun was blazin’ and the birds were singin’ – it was an absolutely perfect day (except for the fact that the pine trees had all lost their leaves.)

Nikki was great and Miranda was her high-energy self, and this made our shoot today absolutely wunder-full! Nikki had a smile that was absolutely incredible, and is such a natural at this! We thank them for making the trip to Minot, and hope to see them again soon! Well, I will stop talking now and will get to the snappy-snaps – Enjoy!

And Kip Too!

Our day of Senior Madness (that sounds like it might be found in the latter stages of life) concluded yesterday with a visit from the completely rockin’ Kip! He brought his unique brand of rugged manliness, combined with a burning charm that has made him famous the world over.

I really want to write copy for E! True Hollywood Strories. Anyway, he blasted his way through our time together with supreme confidendce, and did not show fear when it appeared that we might have to go head to head with another photographer. He had our back, and for that we offer these photographs as thanks – Enjoy!

Trina!

Our day of Seniors continued yesterday with a visit from the lovely Trina! She along with her special assistant (Mom) stopped by the studio, and both were completely awesome to work with – they totally brightened up good ol’ Otis & James!

We had a great time working with Trina – her smile was absolutely perfect! We thank both her and her assistant for taking time from their day to stop down, and now offer some samples from the day – Enjoy!

Missy!

Again, this morning we arose to start the day with our new friend, Missy! What can I say about Missy…well…how about she totally rocked it up! She went crazy. She’s a crazy being photographed person. She is straight up mad. How about that? Me thinks these statements should describe to you how our shoot went this morning.

Again, due to the completely craptacular weather, we will have to return again to the land of ‘the blog’ to see the super-thrilling conclusion to our shoot – but for now take solace in these few precious images we have from our time together – Enjoy!

Mary!

Just when we thought the sun would never come out again, come out it did, and with perfect timing for our shoot with Mary! We had to delay the start of the shoot a little bit, but thank goodness we did – as the sun emerged from it’s hiding place behind the clouds and beamed us all with its radiant love!

Mary was awesome – totally great to work with, and really turned it on for the shoot (I’m not sure what that means, but it’s a good thing – did I just quote Martha Stewart?) Forget all of this nonsense that I spew, and let’s instead just say thank you to Mary and her lovely assistant (sister) – and also to special guest star boyfriend at the end of the shoot! So, with no further adieu I present Mary (0r at least a photographic representation of her) – Enjoy!

Gabe!

Yesterday morning we bounded into the studio with great enthusiasm (or at least with as much enthusiasm that can be had at 8:30), in order to work with our new friend, Gabe! He was in control, put-together, and ready to rock it in the AM.

Even though the weather continued it’s never-ending foggy/overcast/sprinkling/cold thing it’s been so into of late, we didn’t let that get to us. Instead we told ol’ Ma Nature to stick a wet noodle in it (did I just type that?) Instead, we worked in the studio, and Gabe will be making a triumphant return to Otis & James Central (even though we are no longer located on Central) for the thrilling outdoor conclusion to his photograhic session (sounds pretty clinical there.)

With no regard to this, let us move on with the show and see some of the goods – Enjoy!

Let’s Get Ready…

I’m about to do a roll call of Seniors! It’s been madness the past couple of days – but we’re putting it all back together and getting everything back on track. So sit back and enjoy the Cavalcade of Seniors!

Emily!

Emily and her band of gypsies (Mom, Hope, Luke, Friend #1 and Friend #2 – I’m pretty sure that’s what she was calling them – and special guest appearance by interesting camoflage lawyer to the stars) stopped the Otis & James Command Post this afternoon – and the reason was her super sweet Senior Pics Session!

How could we not have fun with Emily??!! There are nothing but smiles and good times coming from her! She lit up the studio, and in turn we lit her up (but didn’t get her lit up), turned the camera on and put that relfected light right inside that camera. Well…instead of talking about it, let’s just take a look (and be sure to tune in later to see the conclusion) – Enjoy!

The Family Theiler (and puppy too)!

Yesterday, we were paid a visit by the Family Theiler at good ol’ Otis & James! We wouldn’t let some lame weather ruin their shoot, so we just moved the party indoors and let the good times roll. They were awesome to work with, and their puppy was super-fantastic as well!

We thank them for taking the time to visit us on a Sunday afternoon, and as thanks we’ll now show you some snappy-snaps from the day – Enjoy!
