The One & Only…Natalie!

Otis & James Photography
 
You know, the more I think about it, I might actually be wrong with the title ‘The One & Only’ – because I’m pretty sure that I went to school with a girl named Natalie – but I know fo sho that this Natalie and that Natalie are not the same Natalie.  Because, that would mean that some sort of a time rift has opened up, and I’m actually in my senior year again – which wouldn’t be all that bad of a deal, because I could take everything that I know now and use it for good…but thinking about that, I guess that in order to get where I’m at today, I had to go down the path that I went down – even though it had all sorts of twists and turns.  But if there is one thing that I would have done differently, it would be to do better in school.  But back to that time rift thing.  I don’t think it’s happening.  Because this Natalie and that Natalie don’t’ look anything alike.

Now that we have that all cleared up…the doors of the FunCenter opened up on a day that might have been not all that long ago, but very well could have been months ago and in strolled the lovely Natalie!  And with her she brought her own unique brand of joy, and she did not bring any sort of a space/time rift, which is a good thing because we are simply just not equipped to handle that kind of stuff around here.

We would like to thank Natalie for not bringing any scientific phenomena with her, and for giving us some of her sweet & precious time!  And, to all my wonderful peeps of blog just counting down the days until Thanksgiving – Enjoy!

Now Hear This: Presenting Nicole!

Otis & James Photography
 
 
The good times that are everything that happens at the O&J FunCenter just keep on a rollin’ – day after day, week after week, year after year, and we haven’t made it to decades yet, but give us a couple more years and we’ll be there.  Proof of this claim can be found in the following images.  That sounds like a disclaimer, but it’s just the straight truth.

Because, my dear old Friends of Blog, the following images are of the ever-lovely always-wonderful Nicole!  And Nicole brought the awesome to the FunCenter.  And that too, my friends, is just straight truth.  I’ve never been one to sugar-coat it for you, folks.  And I’m not gonna start today.

So, I think it be time for us to sit back, relax, offer up MuchLove to Nicole for gracing us with her presence, and to all you lovely blog people out there in your lovely blog homes on this lovely night – Enjoy!

I’ll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I’ll be looking at the moon,
But I’ll be seeing you.

Do You Like Cats? I Do. But I Digress. It’s Kristin!

Otis & James Photography
 
 
Kristin is so awesome that I am just going to write a Haiku.

For pics, Kristin came
Rocking and rolling she did
She left, sadness came

Alas, my good friends, the sadness that arrived when she departed can be eased by looking at these lovely samplesnaps of our time together! But halt! Before we do that, we need to give MuchLove to Kristin for giving us some of her sweet & precious time, and to the good people out there just getting started on another day in Blogville – Enjoy!

Now Sit Down. It’s McKayla!

Otis & James Photography

 
 
In all the years that I’ve been doing this thing, I have never commanded my good people of Blogville to sit down.  But there is always a first for everything (deep statement, I know) – and today is it.  And the reason for all of this sitting, you may be asking?  Well, not just so you don’t have to be standing on your feet, but also because sometimes it’s just good to be prepared for the pictographic goodness that is about to wallop (is that a word?) you over the head.

And the goodness that’s about to do the walloping (again, not believing that is actually a word, but spellcheck didn’t catch it…then again, I think spellcheck gave up on me after about the 200th time that I used the word ‘pictosnap’) you are again asking?  Well, the photographic awesomeness is from the one and only McKayla!

On a day that might have been a couple of weeks ago, or even a couple of months ago, there was this day when she strolled through the doors of the FunCenter and all was wonderful!  But you don’t need these words to prove that to you, what you need is to sit down and just take a look at all of the wonderfulness.  But before we get to that, we’ve got to send MuchLove to McKayla for being so awesome, and to all my lovely people of Blogville out there on this dark & wonderful night – Enjoy!

Can You Handle This Mojo? Because It’s Steven.

Otis & James Photography
 
 

Now, I’m gonna give it to you straight up. No time for jive. I asked if you could handle this mojo that I’m about to lay down on you not because I’m trying to be all clever & cool or something like this, that, or the other thing. Nope. I ask you because I need you to sit there and just think if you can truly handle the awesomely heavy duty mojo that is Steven.

Did you think about it?  Well…if you’re ready, you can proceed.

OK.  For those of you that are left, I’m again gonna shoot straight on this one.  Steven came to o&j world and he showed us what was up.  Easy going & mellow with a side of smooth.  But enough of all these words.  It’s time for us to sit back and take a looksee at the samplesnaps.  But!  Before we do, we gotta give MuchLove to Steven for letting us take the pictosnaps, and to all my goodly peeps out there in their blog homes sitting around the digital glow of the comp-u-ter – Enjoy!

Life Is Wonderful. And As Proof, Here’s Laken!

Otis & James Photography

 
 
Sometimes, it’s easy to get all bogged down by the minutia of life. The mundanities that make up the every day. It’s easy to just think that we are cogs in a machine, and what this machine makes is anyone’s guess. But then along comes a wonderful lady like Laken, and you are reminded of all that is good & wonderful with life! But don’t take my word for it, dear friends…instead just sit back and take a look at these wonderful samplesnaps from our loverly Senior Portrait Session we had with her. BUT WAIT! Before you do that, we gotta give MuchLove to Laken for stopping by the FunCenter and making our worlds a little brighter, and we gotta tell you, our happy little troopers of blog to – Enjoy!

Here We Go. It’s Quinlan. Right on.

Otis & James Photography

 
 
Nobody knows how magnets work, so don’t even bother asking. That stuff is just stone cold crazy, just like this world we live in. Just about the only thing that I know is that we had a man by the name of Quinlan come through the doors of the FunCenter. We took pictures. He was awesome, thus pictures were awesome. So I’m not going to worry about trying to figure out the mysteries of life (like magnets…seriously…what is up with those things), I’m just gonna send MuchLove to Quinlan for giving us some of his sweet & precious time, and to you – my lovely people of Blogland – Enjoy!

Please Welcome…Ashley!

Otis & James Photography

 
 
Up first in this magical and fantastical voyage that has been a Wonderful Summer of Senior Portraits is the one & only Ashley!  I’m not going to bore you with all sorts of fanciful words, because I’m not going to kid myself into believing that you are here for the words (I know it’s just for the pics…and I’m OK with that, as they are much more beautiful than any word I could ever tippytappytype on my keyboard), so instead, I’ll just send out a big ol’ MuchLove to Ashley for stopping by FunCenter, and to you – my ever patient peeps of Blogville – Enjoy!
