Did you notice how I did that.  I put that ‘this just in’ thing there, and then it made it seem like it was all super official news.  As if there was going to be a message from the Emergency Broadcasting System or something.  But it was a literary slight of hand, you see, because I got you hooked…HOOKED I say!

And now that I’ve got you on the hook, please allow me to give you the news, which is that we had the goodlygreat opportunity of working with the one & only Alex on a day that wasn’t really all that long ago.  And the reason for his visit to the FunCenter, you ask (actually, if you are still trying to figure out why it is that people stop by here you may have had a stroke and you should seek medical attention immediately) – well the reason was to get some sweetlysweet seniorsnaps taken!

Alex entered the octagon, and the battle began.  I don’t know what that means.  There was no octagon.  There was no battle.  He was just his pleasant & charming self, and was a breeze to work with.  And because of that we would like to give him a big ol’ MuchLove, and to you out there in your happy blog homes reading these words – Enjoy!

Well hello there, my good Friends of Blog (FOB’s!)  It’s me again.  Your fearless leader.  Actually, I have quite a few fears and most of them are irrational, but this isn’t my therapy session, although this is much cheaper than my therapy session, but there’s no couch here.  Actually, I am lying.  We do have a couch here.  In fact, we have three.  Heck, all this talk of couches makes me want to take a nap, but now is not the time for such things!

As I was saying, well, I guess I really haven’t started saying anything yet, but as I was about to say, we’ve got some new sweetly pictosnaps to show you, and once again it’s the one & only Haley!  Now I know your probably sitting there in front of your computing devices thinking, ‘I’ve never seen Haley before, so how can it be once again?’ – and that would be a good observation.

I must admit, as your fearless leader (we’ll just keep calling me that regardless of what I said earlier) I have let you down.  There have been many pictures that have not made it up on to the blog – but that has changed.  I’m a new man.  Reformed.  Yep.  There will be no recidivism.  I say ‘once again’ because this past Summer we had the good pleasure of taking Haley’s Senior Portraits, and now she came back for just a li’l bit more – and this time she was just as awesome as the previous time, which was totally awesome, but you’ll have to take my word for it because I never put up samplesnaps from the previous time.  OK?

Alrighty!  Now that I have tied all of our minds into a pretzel, it is time for us to give Haley MuchLove for stopping by once again, and to you – my pretzel-minded people of blog – Enjoy!

Ladies & Gentlemen…it’s that time of year again.  The time when the one & only, the Newburgh United Class of 2011 comes to the FunCenter for their sweet senior class picture!  Now me, coming from the land called Twin Cities just finds it so cool that their are Senior classes that have three people in them!

I do remember when I graduated (well, I actually don’t remember all that much, but that’s a story for another day) there were many, many people in my senior class.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of about 400.  The deal with that is that when you graduate, there are people that you don’t even know standing side by side with you.  There are people that you were friends with your freshman year that you just lose track of and you wonder if they even go to school with you any more, and then you look at the graduation program and sure enough their names are right there with yours, and you wonder ‘how did that even happen?’

Now, as far as Newburgh United goes, they aren’t going to have that problem.  And that’s a good thing.  In fact, that’s a great thing.  Because I can guarantee you that this senior class are going to be friends forever.  BFF’s, if you know what I’m saying.  I know this because the time that we spent together at the studio was a blast – they were all a treat to work with, and even put up with the weirdness that is Otis.

But enough of this rambling – now is the time that we need to give this senior class a huge helping of MuchLove, and wish them nothing but the best as they travel through life, and to you, my good people of Blog – Enjoy!

Now, now you see the madness that is in my head!  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just take a look at the post just before this post.  Yep.  We had two seniors back to back that shared the same name.  I know.  It’s totally and completely crazy.  The kind of crazy where if you sit back and think about it, there’s a pretty good chance that your head will explode, or – at bare minimum – you will have some sort of a seizure, like the kind you can get from strobe lights.  Which is why we’re not going to dwell on this any further – because I don’t want to be liable for either and or any of those events happening out there in the Land of Blog, because our insurance guy says we should try to stay away from those sorts of things in order to keep our premiums down.

Well then, now that we have that out of the way…on a day that was not all that long ago we, at the Otis & James FunCenter For The Study of Fun and Whatnot had the goodlysweet pleasure of working with the ever-lovely Christian!  She strolled all up into our studio and showed us how it was done, which for her is easy – because she is a total and complete pro.  And when you’re pro, baby, you’re solid.  True story.

Our time was fleeting, so we are thankful that we remembered to have cameras with us on this day – that way we can relive the memories of our time together for an eternity!  We would like to give MuchLove to Christian for giving us some of her sweet & precious time, and to you, the good peeps of blog – Enjoy!

OK.  I’ll admit it.  That title is weird.  But it will make sense in just a little bit.  So just hold on to that thought.  So, let’s jump into this thing.

The doors of the Otis & James FunCenter opened up, and guess who walked in?  The Mailman.  ZINGER!!  I GOT YOU!!  YOU THOUGHT I WAS GONNA SAY CHRISTIAN BUT I DIDN’T!!  DUBZLOLZ!  And right after the mailman walked in, in walked the one & only (well, not actually the one & only) Christian!  That sentence is like a mirror looking into a mirror.  Don’t even look back at it.  Nope.  Just keep your eyes moving forward.

Why was Christian here, you may be asking yourself?  Well, not to deliver the mail BECAUSE THE MAILMAN ALREADY DID THAT!  DUBZ-ZINGER!!!  But seriously, Christian was here to have some sweetly seniorsnaps taken, and thank goodness he was – because we were ready to take some sweetlyseniorsnaps.  Again, don’t look back at that sentence, just keep it moving folks.

Christian was a dream to work with – easy going & laid back.  He took us to the chill zone.  Ugh.  I can’t believe I actually just typed that.  Moving on…we would like to thank Christian for stopping by the FunCenter, and for being so awesome!  And to the rest of you peeps out there in blogworld – Enjoy!
