Seniors – Page 106 – Otis & James Photography

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!

DO1MP V.4 . Tierany!

The Otis & James caravan of photographic love pulled into Minot at 3:00 yesterday afternoon, just in time for a session with our good friend – Tierany!

Seriously, we pulled into town, unloaded our cameras, got set up and started shooting. Thank God that we are used to this life of always being on the run, otherwise it would be hard. Tierany, however, made it absolutely as easy as it could be for her session. Seriously, we just turned the cameras on and she just commanded them to photograph, while we sat back and ate cookies.

We got a bunch of grrrrrrrrrrreat photo-s – so we would now like to show them to you – Enjoy!

DO1MP V.2 . Mark!

Before the Otis & James caravan packed up and headed east, we had the good fortune of being visited by a man by the name of Mark. As it turns out, he needed photographs. Being photographers, we thought this would be a good match. Indeed, it was. Photograph we did, and photographed he was.

Calm, cool, collected and any number of other words starting with c is what mark was. We thank him, and to you the reader, we offer these photograhs to evidence our time spent. Good day…and Enjoy!

DO1MP V.1 . Anthony Pt. II

Congratulations to Anthony, as the title of his post is the most confusing series of acronyms, abbreviations and Roman numerals ever put together. I digress – we are now turning the Otis & James time machine back to this past Tuesday morning, when we had the pleasure of concluding the shoot of our old friend, Anthony!

Thank goodness for Chef Boyardee, and also that we held out for a better day, as this morning was simply splendid (although a little nippy.) Again, Anthony brought his A game out and we kicked out the james in a uniformly rocking good time. Even though I am not sure what any of that meant, I think we should just turn to the film for the hightlights – Enjoy!

Josh in the Evening

We concluded our day with a visit from Josh! We got right down to business, and rocked it up at a breakneck pace. Josh was into it, was open to anything, and was easy to please (the perfect storm of good combinations.)

Josh was great to work with – again we thank him for his hard work, and will just stop all of this jibberish nonsense and get on with the pics – Enjoy!

Trenton in the Morning

Trenton was kind enough to roll on up to the studio this morning and submit himself to all sorts of photographic cruelties that we had been saving up. I kid. It wasn’t that cruel, in fact, I think it went pretty gosh darned good (as Jamie would say ‘Oh jeez – wasn’t that neat!)

We motored around in our rolling train-wreck of a car, and got all sorts of goodies along the way. We thank Trent for all of his hard work, and to express our thanks we should look at some pics – Enjoy!
