All Things Portrait.

Well…It’s The Newest Addition To The Family Guss!

Seeing as how we have a case of baby fever here at the Otis & James FunCenter (parents of seniors, don’t worry – it’s not contagious), we thought we would keep the theme up with a little visit with The Family Guss!  Well, not that the whole family is in these pics, but later on we will have an update to this post that will, so one day this will all make sense.  Well, not everything in life, just this one particular blog post.

Now that we have that out of the way, let me just tell you that – once again – we are blessed with the gift of beautiful children that appear before our pictosnapery device (camera, for you lay people) – not that all children aren’t beautiful, because they are, but it seems like every one that walks through the door of the FunCenter is ripped from the pages of a Baby Gap ad campaign.  I don’t know how our mojo got so good, but cheers for however it happened!

But enough of this stammering about, let us now give some love to this beautiful family, give some love to all our peeps out there doin’ what they gotta do to get buy, and remember to – Enjoy!

Hey…It’s Kamden (& Grandma Too!)

Here’s the deal.  We’re the kind of photo-graphers that don’t care what your affiliations are in life.  We don’t care if you’re a Vikings, Broncos or even a Green Bay fan.  We will love each and every one of you the same – no matter what!  The only thing we ask is that you are kind to your fellow man – if you can abide by these rules, then you are good in our book.

But even if we were a die-hard Vikings fan (one of those peeps that is a glutton for punishment season after season after season), there is no way in this green Earth that we could not love working with this young man called Kamden!  Man oh man, he was a true joy to work with (if you even want to call it work) and we had an absolutely wonderful time together!  Pictographic magic was made, my peeps!

So, we’d like to offer up a big plate of MuchLove to Kamden (& Grandma too) for stopping by and giving us some of their lovely time, and we’d also like to remind all of you out there to – Enjoy!

It’s The Family Hovde!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again:  There is no substitute for cheese.  Wait.  That’s not what I wanted to say.  What I meant to say is this:  I don’t know why it is that we get so lucky with having the best looking and most wonderful clients, but we do.  And we are so thankful for it.

Case in point, The Family Hovde!  On a day that wasn’t all that long ago, they stopped by The Otis & James FunCenter For The Study of Fun and Shiny Things (O&JCFFATSOST) to have some lovely pictosnaps taken.  Now, some may have entered our funzone and just stood there for the camera and looked like bumps on a log.  But not this family…oh no.

Instead, they had a natural ease to them.  The rocked it, they rolled it, they pretty much tore the whole thing up.  But why should I keep on typing these crazy words when I can just have you look at the samplesnaps for proof?!  So, MuchLove to this wondrous family for giving us a little bit of their time, and all of you out there in your happy homes – Enjoy!

World, It’s Desiraey!

It’s rather bold of me to think that I’m in communication with the whole world through this whole ‘blog’ thing, but I double-checked and it is called the ‘world-wide-web’ (or, ‘the online’) and the implication is that it’s going out to the whole world.  Except for China.  Or any other place that blocks websites.  Or doesn’t support Net Neutrality.  But that’s a whole different story for a whole different time.

Also, I think that she likes to be called Desi.  But I could be wrong in this assumption as well.  I’m wrong quite a bit of the time, but this is something that I’ve grown used to.  But this is neither here nor there.  And we need to get somewhere.  And the place that we need to get is where we tell give Desi MuchLove for giving us a little bit of her sweet & precious time, and when we tell all of you out there in Blogville to – Enjoy!

Lock Up Your Kids, It’s Kinzey & Jenn!

I think the title pretty much sums up the whole thing.  I could try to explain it in greater detail to you, but there’s no point.  Just know that this dynamic duo is a force of nature that no man, woman or child will ever be able to reckon with.

MuchLove!
MuchLove!
MuchLove!

The Beautiful Family Anderson!

Shazaaam!  I’ve been taking an online writing course, and my digital instructor says that if you really want to capture the readers attention that it’s best to lead off with something exciting!  In this case I used the word ‘shazaam’ to pull you in.  I know, you might be sitting there thinking that I’ve played some sort of a trick on you, but it’s only a literary trick – there is no actual harm involved.

Alright, now that I’ve got you, let me tell you a quick little story about The Family Anderson, and how one day they wandered into our studio and we had the goodlygreatlygoodfortune of working with them!  And this story would go on to say that we couldn’t have asked for a better family to work with – they were all so lovely and so friendly!  And after I was done telling you that, I would take a moment to to give so MuchLove and so ManyThanks to this family for giving us some of their sweet & precious time!  Well, shiver me timbers it looks like I’ve just gone & done all of that!  So, without any further wait – Enjoy!

It’s Cody, Serena and Riley (& Mom Too!)

I’ve got these fingers, and they’re on this keyboard, and they’re about to tell you a wonderful thing!  They’re about to tell you- in fact, I think they are telling you – about a happy time at the FunCenter for Fun when the doors opened on up, and in strolled a lovely family in need of some lovely pictures!

You see – I told you this was a wonderful thing!  Here’s how it went down.  As I said, they strolled on in to the FunCenter, and then we were all like, ‘how lovely!  Do you need pictures?’, and then they were all like, ‘Oh yes, we do!’, and so on and so forth until the point that we find ourselves at right now -with the fingers on the keyboard just waiting to tell you about this magical fantastical time!  Now, we need to take a moment to give MuchLove to this wonderful group for stopping down, and we need to remind all of you out there in the Land of Blog to – Enjoy!

The Family Adams!

Sometimes you gotta throw the kid in the air.  And catch him, as well.  And this needs to only be done by adults and in a good natured way that only elicits fun from the child.  Actually, I just consulted with our lawyer and he is advising us that we should in no way, shape or form endorse throwing children in the air whatsoever, and that all of us should just forget that these words were ever spoken, or typed for that matter.

How ’bout this:  Sometimes, you gotta do what it takes to make your child happy!  As long as it doesn’t involved anything illegal.  OK.  There’s no way that I’m going to win with this one, so how about we just say thank you to The Family Adams for stopping by the FunCenter not all that long ago to get some sweet family pictosnaps, and to let all of you out there in your digital blog homes to – Enjoy!

It’s Kristen, Adam, Some Pupperhounds (& Baby Too!)

That’s a mouthful right there.  The title of this post, that is.  Even though you might think that with a title like that this shoot would be pure madness.  Veritable pandemonium.  Chaos of the highest order.  But, my dear Friend of Blog, you would be wrong!

You see, this shoot was the complete opposite!  Everyone was a charm, a gem, a real treat to work with.  Even the doggies.  In fact, they were just about the best doggies we’ve ever had step foot into this studio – except for my wiener dogs, but I’m biased.  But I could sit here all day and night long rambling on about how awesome the shoot was, but that would take away from the fun part – the part when we get to take a look at the goods!

Before we do, however, we need to give MuchLove to this soon to be expanding family for giving us a little bit of their sweet & precious time, and to all of you out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!
