BTMFB v.2 . Tara!

By now, we should all come to understand that there will somehow be an exclamation point in the title of all the posts. I’m old school. Some may like to use things such as 🙂 or 😉 or maybe even 🙁

But seriously, it takes me about five minutes of looking at the keyboard to figure this sort of stuff out. Stupid emoticons. So I’ll just stick with the good ol’ exclamation point. Again, what does this ranting have to do with Tara – absolutely nothing, other than if I had to use one of those other punctuation devices to describe our time with Tara, it would be nothing but 🙂 because such fun was had with her this past Saturday!

Tara, along with her faithful stylist Miranda stopped by the ‘excitement zone’ (aka our studio – but I think calling it this will really drum up the business) for some super-duper-senior-rockem-sockem-pics! They were awesome – Miranda had enough energy for everybody and then some, and Tara was totally great to work with. You know what, I’m just going to shut my word flapper and get on with the pics – Enjoy!

BTMFB v.1 . Jamie & Jared!

This last Saturday we funned it up in the good ol Studio with our new friends Jamie & Jared! They were sharp dressed, ready to take on the town. But before they did, they managed to stop by O&J Central for some snappity-snaps.

We look forward to working with them in the future; in the year 2856. You see, they are not of this earth… I kid. They are from this earth, and we will be photogs (I love that term) for their wedding. The big show will actually be this coming year – so all you O&J Bloggers (I shall call you all O-Gers) should keep your eyes peeled for their thrilling conclusion!

Thank you J&J – and Enjoy!

The Acronym Today Is…

BTMFB

Blogging Till My Fingers Bleed

Get ready to rock, my children. For ye are about to see some insanity rollin’ on down the tubes. We’ve got another day for some serious ketchup (mad props to Snail Lake Elementary) – so here we go!

Peace Y’all

Racia…The Conclusion!

This morning we reunited with our old friend Racia, for the thrilling conculsion to her Senior Portraits. We motored around on the newly fixed Otis & James-mobile, didn’t once break down, and managed to get a bunch of super-deluxe/super-fantastic pho-to-graphs!

We thank her again for being such a great person to work with, and as a reward to you the reader, we offer these snappy-snaps – Enjoy!

Broke Down…With Zach

Would you believe me if I told you that while out this evening with the musically gifted Zach, we almost had a tire fall off the car and had to walk home? You see, this is the Otis & James difference. Other photographers would not find themselves in this type of situation, but we’re not like all the rest.

No…we’re something different. We’re not afraid to make our clients ride in our mid-90’s Honda Accord (click here for a representation – even though this is not the Otis & James-mobile, you can understand the level of crapitude that we offer our clients), for this is what we like to call our ‘bonding’ time with our clients.

Nothing will bring people closer together than having to walk back to the studio after you realize you can no longer safely drive the car – and you have to perform what I like to call ‘abandon ship.’ We’re willing to go that extra mile, and do it at no extra charge. Zach was lucky to experience this, as we were lucky to work with him tonight.

He made it through the shoot – and for that we offer a big thank you to both him and his lovely assistant (Mom) for coming to the studio tonight and for being so great to work with! Well, enough bragging about what makes us so good (it’s the car), and let’s get to the pics – Enjoy!

Laura in the Mornin’

We opened our doors this morning to find our new friend Laura (and a couple of other special guests) ready enter the Otis & James Photographic World, or just simply O&JPW (love the acronyms – love them.)

We got a super fantastic amount of great stuff – and as an extra treat to you reading this today – we’re gonna show you some!

Thank you again to Laura for being great to work with – and Enjoy!

Matia!

Our day at Otis & James came to a lovely end yesterday, when we were visited by the ever-friendly Matia!
She came into the studio ready to rock, and thank goodness because we had just finshed getting fully loaded on roll. Thus, together we were able to fully rock and roll.

It was this combination that made this photographic session truly tear it up! We thank Matia for laughing and being serious at the drop of a dime, or hat. Whichever. We swear, nobody driving down the street that saw you fake laughing thought anything of it.

All right, I’m just speaking true gibberish, so I think that it’s time for me to sign off for the night and to get to the highlight reel – Enjoy!

Jerome!

This morning (acutally yesterday morning now), Jerome leaped and bounded and perhaps even once pranced through our studio and through the out of doors with swagger and gusto! After teaching Otis how to catch (actually Otis did not learn), and seeing that he had a wingspan of 18′, we ventured outside of the confines of the studio where Jerome let his rugged charisma shine through.

His unbridled energy kept on keepin’ on – through the cold shade to the warm sun.

I think that that last sentence was Haiku.

To you, Jerome, we say thank you for the hard work. And to you the reader, we say…Enjoy!

Unfortunately, at the end of the shoot he turned out to be a monster, and ate Jamie.

The End

Shana v.3 . Conclusion

This morning our four month long odyssey of a senior shoot (see her previous entries here and here) with Shana came to a thrilling conclusion, as Otis & James attempted to blind and put her into as many perilous situations as possible. Risking life and limb, she came through relatively unscathed (except for her black with grease feet.)

We had a great time – as usual – and thank Shana and her lovely assistant (Mom) for waiting for the right day for the photos. Without any further adieu, I will just leave you with these final snaps – Enjoy!

Greg!

Doesn’t it seem more exciting if the title of the post has an exclamation point after it? Perhaps I should have titled this ‘Greg!?’ – and that would have provided the element of intrigue. But no intrigue was needed. I thought of just ‘Greg.’ – but that seemed to be too ho-hum. So, in keeping with the title of so many other posts, I will stick with the exclamation point. What does this have to do with anything?? Nothing!!

Last night we spent some quality time with our old buddy Greg. We are acquainted with him, as he participated in a previous wedding (see if you can spot him.) Greg and father motored down to Otis & James central – and we got a ton of killer stuff. That sentence sounds as if we may be in possession of something illegal. But never worry, faithful reader, as there was nothing illegal of the sort going down (well, maybe a minor infraction – you know who you are, ‘Man With Keys’) – but it was all in the name of photo-graphy.

We thank Greg and his assistants for making the shoot last night great – but enough of all this half way to insanity rambling, and lets move to the highlight reel – Enjoy!
