I just had to wait until her month.  And then it would be time to see the superawesome samplesnaps from her Senior Portrait session.  And that’s all I gotta say.

Well, I also gotta say that she was absolutely incredible to work with and we send her MuchLove for being one of our seniorpeeps.  Oh, and we also gotta tell all you good citizens of Blogville to – Enjoy!

Do you really need any sort of an explanation of what’s going on here?  Because if you haven’t figured it out by now you should probably rethink using the internet.  Tyrel.  Senior Pictures.  SampleSnaps.  Boom.  Done.  See how easy that was!

Not off the hook yet, though.  We gotta send MuchLove to Tyrel for letting us be a small part of his senior year, and we also gotta tell all you shiny & happy peeps out there in Blogville to – Enjoy!

As long as we’re sitting here in the midst of what could be considered (and actually in considered) ‘far from summer,’ let us now take a break from freezing for the season and take a small trip back in time to a magical place where we had the good fortune of working with the one & only Paige!

The way that I worded that sentence is an absolute nightmare, because the implication is that we were actually in some sort of a magical place, which I guess Minot is the ‘Magic City’ but I’ve never seen somebody turn a balloon into a rabbit here.  It was more of a magical time – and the reason for that was not just because a person could be outside in short sleeves, it was because we had the chance to work with Paige – and she made it truly magical!

But you don’t need these words to tell you that, all you gotta do is just look at the samplesnaps below and know that what I say is the truth.  But before you do that, we need to send MuchLove to Paige for stopping by the o and the j, and we also need to tell all you good peeps out there in Blogland to – Enjoy!

In continuing the them of asking the rhetorical question of what time it is even though I full-on know what time it is (not in the literal definition of what time is, but rather what time it is in the history of posting happy pictures up on blog) I now am not actually even asking what time it is I’m just telling you that it is straight up Zach time, and I’m asking you to dig.  Again, not literally.

What I’m asking you to dig is that there was a young man by the name of Zach that stopped by the Otis & James FunCenter (yes, it truly is a FunCenter…wheeeeee) to have some seniorpictosnaps taken, and not only did he just have them taken, he was also awesome to work with.  Pleasant and a true gent.  A good combo.  But enough of all this ego-inflating, let’s instead send MuchLove to Zach for giving us a little bit of his senior year, and to all you good peeps out there in Land of Blog getting ready for their respective Turkey Days – Enjoy!

What time is it?  It’s Austin time.  Well, as I write this it’s actually about 2:30AM but we’ll just go ahead and call it Austin Time because…well…why not.  Nobody is awake anyway except for people working overnight shifts and weirdos such as myself so conventions of time go out the window and I really see no reason not to call this particular moment in time Austin Time.  Like a new time zone or something.

Thoughts of time aside, it’s actually the time when some samplesnaps from the senior pictosnaps of the one & only Austin go up on blog, and that is a good thing.  Not just because it gives people in the middle of the night something to look at, but because Austin was totally awesome (do people still use that expression?  They don’t?  Huh.  Back to the drawing board then.) to work with and the results were equally awesome.  But enough of all these non-sensical words.  Let us instead send MuchLove to Austin for stopping by the o to the j for the pics, and to all you overnighters & weirdos out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!

Aaron is my middle name.  So that right there makes him awesome.  Do we need more words than just that?  Nope.  Because when you share part of the name of the Otis then you are golden.  So instead I will send Aaron MuchLove for making some time for the o&j in a time that wasn’t really all that long ago but looking at the samplesnaps seems like a lifetime ago, and to all you good people out there in Land of Blog that are being beautiful as you usually are – Enjoy!

Oh Mandi…why do you gotta be so awesome?!  I guess some questions are better left unanswered because an attempt to encapsulate into words something that is not meant to be put into mere words only serves to diminish something which should never be diminished.  And in my free time I write letters from boys in their late teens that take themselves too seriously.  But enough about my writing style.  Back to that matter at hand…and that’s Mandi!

We’ve known this young lady for a long time now and couldn’t have been any happier when she said she was choosing us for her seniorpics!  We were happy not just because we knew her, but because we knew that she was going to be totally awesome.  And when you’ve got totally awesome working with you it makes the day a whole lot better.  So basically a double-win for us.  Yaaaaaay o&j!!  But enough of all these silly words, we need to get to the part where we send Mandi MuchLove for being so awesome, and we tell all you peeps out there in Blogville to – Enjoy!

As long as we’re all about putting up lovely pictures of lovely seniors, I think that it’s time for us to take a look at some superawesome senior pictosnaps from the ever-lovely Sydney!  And you know what, I think that you think that this is a good idea too!  I know you’re probably sitting there thinking ‘get out of my mind, man’ – but I can read you.  And I know that you are up for having your day (or evening I guess depending on when you’re looking at this) brightened with this gem of a lady!  Like I said..I KNOW you.  Freaky.  Right?

Anyway, Sydney stopped by the Otis and the James and you know how this whole thing went.  We had the camera, she had the lovely, and the rest is pictographic history!  So now we need to take a little time and send MuchLove to Sydney for being so awesome to work with, and the rest of you good peeps out there in Blogville wondering how I can read your minds – Enjoy!

So the last time I tippytappytyped one of these blog posts up I mentioned my first experience seeing the band Phish.  So, as long as I’m at it I might as well keep going.  I’ve seen Phish play at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin.  FANTASTIC show.  And now it all makes sense to me.  Every Senior that we have ever worked with is just one degree away from a Phish show that I attended.  I SEE THE PATTERN NOW.

But, moving on from crazy talk, we had the wonderfully awesome pleasure of working with the one & only Madison (which is first & foremost a lovely name!) and I’m gonna let you in on a little secret – she was awesome.  But you knew that because YOUR SNEAKY EYES LOOKED AT THE SAMPLESNAPS ALREADY but I’ll forgive you because srizzlesslly come on they are awesome!  MuchLove to Madison for stopping by the o and the j and letting us take the seniorpics, and to all of you wonderful people out there in Blogland doing whatever it is that you do – Enjoy!

There’s this band called Phish.  And at the very first Phish concert that I went to at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis on November 26th, 1994, the band played this song called ‘Haley’s Comet.’  I had never head this song before and they opened the second set with it.  And after this song the band went into the most insane version of the song ‘David Bowie‘ that I have ever heard and probably will ever hear.  That Bowie was over 30 minutes long and by the end of it I wasn’t sure if I was even at a concert any longer, or on the planet Earth for that matter.  But the reason why ‘Haley’s Comet’ will always be special for me is that before the band went down a road of insanity there was this little gem of a song that just made me smile!

Which brings us to this Haley, and the fact that she is also a gem that makes us smile too!  There must be something about the name, I guess.  But you didn’t need any of these words or lessons in Phishstory to let you know that Haley was a complete gem to work with – all that you would have to do to find this out would be to look at the lovely samplesnaps below these words!

But wait!  Before you do that we need to give MuchLove to Haley for being so awesome and for letting us be just a small part of her senior year, and to all my other good peeps getting your groove on (fall tour baby!) – Enjoy!
