Patty, Part II

This morning, we drug our lazy butts out of bed bright and early to complete the shoot with our friend, Patty! I must admit that 7:00 AM comes a little early after a late night (I was blogging, not partying). But after a shaky start with a little too much fog, the sun came through and we got a ton of great pics!

Thank you again to Patty, and to her great assistant (Dad) for all of their help – you know the drill, on with the pics – Enjoy!

Bailley!

It’s real late now, and have to wake up early for pics – will make a more elaborate post later, but for now enjoy these samples of our work with Bailley tonight. She rocked.

That was a long sentence, followed up by a short sentence.

Good Night, and – Enjoy!

Kristi!

We rounded out the day today with our friend, Kristi! She was rip-roarin’ and a ready to go, and we got some great stuff! We spent most of our time tonight in the studio, with a special trip to Dad’s for a visit with some kittens and a horse named Nacho. We have a duck (actually a goose that thinks he’s a duck) called Nacho, but this is besides the point.

As I was saying, we got some great stuff – and come back soon to find out the shocking conclusion to her session (shocking may not be the best word, but it’s all that I got right now.) So, off with the rambling and on with the pics – Enjoy!

Missin’ School with Sara

Sometimes you just gotta miss school.* You can ask my parents about it, they will vouch that I indeed followed this philosophy well during my high school years. Of course, it didn’t really pan out that well – seeing as how I still have dreams that I’ve missed ten years of classes and I am walking the halls of my school headed for a test in a class that I haven’t attended, or for that matter can ever remember the name of. But really, enough of my dream life. Let’s get back to missing class.

This morning, we finally had the great pleasure of working with the ever-pleasant Sara, and her lovely assistant Amber. They stuck with us through thick and thin as we traversed the hills and valleys of Minot and other areas in search of the ever-elusive perfect picture; or picture perfect – whichever.

We thank them for all of their hard work, and now would like to reward one and all with some samples from our time shared – Enjoy!

Tuesdays with Natalie (and one’s & zero’s)

All this time I’ve been using the ‘Sundays With…’, and instead it should have been ‘Tuesdays With…’. I’m glad that I have this all straightened out, as it now gives me twice the number of options available as there were before. I’m not quite sure what I just typed meant, but it has increased the number of words used in this post substantially.

As the title of this post suggests, we spent the evening with the ever-so-friendly Natalie! She brought her super-duper-fun-high-octane self to the studio, as we grabbed up some of the reflected light, threw it at a sensor chip, which then converted it all to a big ol’ mess of one’s and zero’s, which we then transfered to our computer, and Jamie made ever so slight changes to the photographs, I networked myself to her computer, grabbed the images, and then moved those same (albeit slightly altered) one’s and zero’s to a web server somewhere in Pennsylvania (which means ‘Penn’s woods’ – shout out to Dr. J over at MSU for that), which led right to your eyes converting this new digital light being created on your screen into an upside down image in the back of your eye, which your brain turned right side up, and you are now able to associate what you have seen with previous things you have seen, which hopefully make you feel all warm inside.

So, on with the pics – Enjoy!

Blogathon v.5 – Shana v.2

Got that – this is the fifth post of the blogathon, and the second post in the ongoing Senior Portraits of our friend, Shana. You can find her previous post here.

If you were a good blogger and looked at the previous post, you would have seen that previously, we were only able to complete her studio shots. Today, we were to have completed the outdoor section of her Senior Portraits. Again, however, we were stymied by the weather. But before we lost our beloved sun, we manages to get some shots with her totally awesome VW Bug. So, again, stay tuned as we will eventually manage to complete her session. So stay tuned, and here’s a shot from the morning – Enjoy

Blogathon v.1 – Patty

First up in our day of entries is the lovely and so friendly Patty. We had the pleasure of working with her this past Tuesday (we are soooooooooo behind with this). She came down to our studio (now our old studio), and we then voyaged around the downtown area, and in the process got a ton of great stuff!

We were then going to continue our voyage to far away places (actually not all that far away), but good ol’ Mother Nature kind of covered up the sun. So we had to suspend play for the evening, but come back soon to see the thrilling conclusion to our shoot. For now, here’s some samples of our time together – Enjoy!

Megan

For you regular blog readers out there (I’m talking to you, Elise from Moorhead), the titles of our posts have really just evolved into the first names of our clients. I’ve tried the alliteration thing, but that get’s old – you know, ‘Monday Megan’ really seems like we’re just phoning it in – so we’re going to stick with the uncomplicated, and elegant ‘Megan’ – and speaking of Megan, that’s just the person we had the great pleasure of working with this gorgeous evening!

Our beautiful day working with great clients continued with Megan – we thank her and her lovely assistant (Mom), as they were totally great to work with! Again, I will quit with all of my nonsensical jabbering and get on with some samples of the work – Enjoy!

Kayla!

We got off to an early start in the land of Otis & James today (when I write stuff like that, it seems like I’m going to segue into talk of wizzards/gnomes/elves and what not – but I won’t.) We rose early morning style to partake in the senior portraitizing of our friend from Mandan, Kayla.

She was great, rip-roaring and ready to go! We had a beautiful day to work with, and had a great client to work with as well – I will now quit all of this rambling nonsense and get to a couple samples our work together – Enjoy!

Again, Aryn

Rounding out this day was the lovely Aryn, for some coolio nitey-nite time shots. Ch-ch-check it – I’m Out – Enjoy!
