A Senior Quick Teaser || It’s Jadin!
Just one more before I shut this top of my lap computing device down. Â And what a beautiful note to end with – the everlovely Jadin! Â I’ll tell you what, now. Â There was this time that wasn’t all that long ago when the doors to the FunCenter opened up and it was not all that long ago, and blah blah you know how the rest of this thing goes, let me just get to the good part.
Jadin was a dream to work with – she was absolutely awesome and the proof is in the pudding! Â What the heck does that mean? Â Why on Earth would I ever search for anything inside of pudding? Â Who puts things in pudding? Â So, the proof is in the sample pictosnap beneath these words – but wait! Â Before we get all carried away and leave these words, we gotta give MuchLove to Jadin for letting us do the whole ‘seniorpics’ thing with us, and to all y’all out there in World of Blog (WOB) – Enjoy!
A Senior Quick Teaser || Now With More Maisey!
Do you know what this world needs? Â Well, you might have your own ideas, but to you I say get your own website and then you can go around telling people what the world needs. Â Until that point, Imma gonna tell you that what the world needs is a dose of Maisey to make the day all happy like!
It has been proven by many scientific organizations that I can’t seem to remember the name of now that if we just increase the amount of time that we spend with Maisey by as little as 3%, you will notice a definite change in your attitude and good things will happen to you. Â Pretty much an all around good deal. Â But to those of you out there in interwebszville that know this lovely lady, I’m just preaching to the choir.
To the rest of you good folk, you’re just going to have to take my word for it. Â So there. Â Well, that was kind of confrontational. Â But moving on…MuchLove to Maisey for spending some hang time (that’s what it’s called, yo) with us, and to all my peeps out there just keepin’ on keepin’ on – Enjoy!
A Senior Quick Teaser || With Mary!
Have you heard the word? Â The word is the bird! Â But also, the word is that we’re about to get a case of some rockem-sockem pictoriffic goodness from the one & only Mary! Â That, my friends is the word. Â I don’t know why everyone keeps talking about the bird being the word. Â I don’t know who this ‘bird’ is nor do I have time to figure it all out. Â So…you can just keep your bird stories to yourself, because the one that I have is much better.
And that story would be about how a lovely lady that goes by the name of Mary stopped by the o&j FunCenter and wanted to chill with us, because we’re cool and stuff, and then she decided that as long as she was her she might as well have some pictures taken, so we were all like ‘yeah’ and stuff, and then it was all cool because Mary was totally awesome and without her our day would have been worthless – but instead she not only made it worthwhile, she made it wondrous!
See? Â Told you my story was more better. Â Now is the time when I send MuchLove to Mary for letting us be just a wee small little part of her senior year, and I remind you good people of Blogville to – Enjoy!
A Senior Quick Teaser || Now Featuring Rachelle!
sldkfj.
That is how I start of a lot of these words that I put before the pictures that most of you don’t read (I’m not fooling myself, I know that everyone is here for the pictures, and I’m cool with that.) Â The reason that I start with that is because I need to get the formatting correct for where the picture goes and where the text goes.
But the truth of the matter is that I’m hoping that somehow, and magically, when my fingers just bash on this keyboard for that placeholder text that instead of gibberish that looks like a three year old has been using a computer – that instead of that words will flow out of my fingers extolling the goodlygreat virtues of the person that we are featuring in the blog post that I am putting together. Â For example, it would have been awesome if instead of alsdj or whatever it was that I typed that this had formed on the page:
It was a beautiful day at the FunCenter…the kind of day that you think can’t possibly get any better, but then it did! Â And the reason that it did, you ask? Â Because we were visited by the one & only, the incredible & wonderful Rachelle!
She stopped by the Center for Fun or whatever it is that we are calling it these days because she needed some senior pictures taken, and we happened to be standing around with a camera. Â We would like to kid ourselves and think that she just wanted to be besties with us, but we know the score, and it didn’t matter – because any time spent with Rachelle is awesome, because she is awesome!
But enough of these silly words (and so on…)
But nope. Â All that happened was ;lkajds. Â Maybe someday the magic words will happen. Â But until then, we need to give MuchLove to Rachelle for being so wonderful, and to all my good kids out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!
A Senior Quick Teaser || It’s Kennedy!
We’ve always got a few more tricks up our sleeve here at the Otis and the James Photogrphorium (it’s a new word…and a magical place!) and this time our trick is that we’re never really done with delivering the pictoriffic goodness!
And this time, my dear friends, the goodness features none other than the ever-lovely Kennedy! Â Now, I could just stop right here (and many of you out there will argue that I should, but I have a problem with listening…like seriously, my hearing is not good…or well…whatever. Â I’m way off topic now.) but if I would be remiss in doing so because we need to offer up MuchLove to Kennedy for stopping by FunCenter and letting us have some of her sweet & precious time! Â You were wonderful! Â And to my happy little interweb people out there in Blogland reading these silly words – Enjoy!
A Senior Quick Teaser || It’s Jimi
Hello there again my good peeps (or as I just typed, pepps…pep pep) of Blogland! Â I do trust that the weekend was wonderful for everyone, or that the week has started out great, or you are enjoying this day off, or that you enjoyed your day of work, or that you will enjoy your day of work, or that it is a great day at school…I don’t know where to stop because I don’t know when you are going to be reading this. Â Sooooooo…stop.
We’re here today because it’s time to take a look at some more superawesome senior pictosnaps, and this time we’re gonna do it Jimi style.  What can I say about this man that hasn’t already been said?  So I’m just going to tell you what I know.  First, he was great to work with and we send him MuchLove for stopping by FunCenter and spending a little bit of time with us.  The second thing that I know is that if everything that my records indicate is correct and his name is Jimi (and I’m really hoping that it is, because I always like to give people their actual names and not some sort of a made up name because there has been a communication breakdown, which also happens to be the name of a TOTALLY AWESOME song by Led Zeppelin, but that’s another story for another time) then he shares his name with one of my all time favorite musicians.  You guessed it, Jimi Nezzershcmidt, polka drummer extraordinaire!  I kid.  There’s only one Jimi when it comes to music, and if  you don’t know who it is…your loss.  So, to all my good peeps out there in Land of Blog kicking back at the end or at the beginning of another wonderful day – Enjoy!
Listen to this. The guitar solo might just change your life.

A Senior Quick Teaser || With Halli!
Lest you think that we spend the middle of the night just laying in our beds sleeping or whatever it is that people do…wait…I’m digging a weird word hole here. Â Let me back up. Â Lest you think we spend the middle of the night sleeping like normal people, rest assured my good people of blog, we do not. Â Or I do not. Â I’m pretty sure I’m the only member of the o&j team that is still rocking the digital world at 2:30AM. Â ME AND MY LAPTOP ARE HAVING A PARTAY!
But I’m not here to tell you about my awesome online party that only involves me – I’m here instead to tell you about the wonderful senior pictosnaps of the ever lovely Halli!
You see, my good peeps, she strolled on into the o&j FunCenter on a day that was not all that long ago, but it was still long enough ago that there were leaves on the trees, and she strolled on up the hall, and she said, ‘Father!’…I’m sorry, I had some sort of a 1960’s music flashback there. Â Sorry about that. Â She strolled on into the FunCenter, into our lives, and we are all the better for it!
She was a gem! Â A true joy to work with and we send MuchLove to her for being this way; for being herself! Â And to all my other good peeps out there in Land of Blog trying to keep winter at bay – Enjoy!

A Senior Quick Teaser || Featuring Hannah!
As these words are typed, the hour is late. Â My mind is barely holding on to whatever shreds of sanity that it is equipped with (which science has proven to be exactly eight shreds) so I will keep this short and sweet. Â There was this girl. Â And there was this photo studio. Â And then these two worlds collided. Â And you want to know what happened then?
Pure awesome. Â Don’t believe me? Â Then look at the samplesnap below and you’ll know that what I speak is the truth. Â BUT WAIT! Â Before you go jumping away from these words we have to send MuchLove to Hannah for just being herself, which is wonderful! Â And to all my shiny and happy people out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!
