Yesterday, which is called the Day of the Sun (translation: Sunday), we got to spend a little bit of quality time with the one and only Amanda, and the reason was not just to say hello, it was to get some rockinsweet Senior Snaps!

After fighting the weather for the first couple of attempts, Amanda held out for an absolutely gorgeous day, not too hot, not too cold, not to sunny, not too cloudy – it was perf (translation: perfect), and we were so happy to spend it with someone as lovely as the lovely (and I know that’s bad grammar, but sometimes you gotta put two lovelies in there) Amanda, and her equally as lovely assistant (tranlation: Mom)!

We had a great time working together, and I will go as far as to say that the snaps we gots were totally and completely awesome, and this is because Amanda is totally and completely awesome, and when you’re working with someone that is this awesome, what are ya gonna expect!

Much thanks to Amanda and assistant for taking a little bit o’ time for us today, and to all you all out there in the land of blog – Enjoy!

In honor of skool starting up, I though that I would throw a mathematic-al statment at you. And, uh, if you have problems reading it, and this may or may not be because I really don’t know anything about math, other than the basic skills that I need to keep my checkbook in order, so…what I’m trying to say is that ‘Nikki = Totally Righteous Snaps Times Infinity!!’ – you got that??!! It’s times freakin’ Infinity!

If you think about this math-a-matic-al statement too long, there’s a pretty good chance that your head will explode, due to holes appearing in the fabric of our universe, so I suggest that we instead focus (and there is no photo-graphic pun intended by that…I swear) on the beauty that is the photo-graphs of the one and only Nikki!!

Let us look in awe, and wonder how it is that so much awesomeness can be had by one person…let us see how she has total and complete control over all that is good in the universe, and how she takes all of these elements and puts them together in a mashup of life that we will forever know as being her Senior Snaps!

What does all of this mean??!! I’m not sure, but one thing that I am sure of is that we would like to thank Nikki and her lovely assistant (Mom) for taking time on a beautiful Sunday for us, and we would now like to offer up some super-sweet-sample-snaps as a reward to all of you out there in blogland – Enjoy!

Our Wednesday past (and again, I’m not talkin’ ’bout the one that just went by our heads, I’m talkin’ ’bout the one that passed us by the one past, which passed us by too, but did it a little more recent…you got all that?) concluded with a visit from the one and only Jordan!

He was calm, cool, collected, and ready to totally tear it up during this, our time for superseniorsnaps! He couldn’t have been any better to work with, and the results were, quite simply put, sweet. Well, did you really come here for words, or did you come to get a plate full of wonderful colorful pixels, put together to resemble what can be called…Jordan – Enjoy!

Erica is the world’s best assistant.
Erica is wonderful to work with.
Erica made the shoot awesome.
Erica is…totally awesome.

I thought that I should just start this post with some statements. You should be content with just those words, because anything else that I am going to offer up will just dilute what I have spoken to be the truth.

Perphaps those of you out there that are afraid of bold statements like that would like to hear me wax poetic about how Erica was a total and complete rockstar during her shoot, and how our time together just flew by, and how we would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to her for being so great, but all of this would just be a crutch for your potentially feeble minds. Some truth might just do you good. A wise man once said, Gimme Some Truth, and I think we should stick to that.

Erica rocks.
Enjoy!

What’s the best way to start a Tuesday morning? The Surgeon General (does the General have an army to fight the battles of health? It would be awesome if you were trying to cut out sweets and if you decided to sneak one in, there would be troops kicking down your door, raiding your house, and removing that donut from your grips…hmmmmmm…donuts) recommends like, orange juice and a prune, or something like that, but me, well, I think that the best way to start a Tuesday off is a visit from the one & only Daphne!

Why do I say this? Well, it’s funny you should ask, and if you’re not really asking, just pretend like you have. It’s a great way to start this second day of the work week because her awesomeness and total perfection took away the cobwebs from the collective morning brain that is O&J (we keep it in a jar in Jamies office during the evening hours), and her sunny disposition brightened up our day…hold on…I’m getting a message here…it says that this this section of the sentence about ‘sunny dispositions brightening up our days’ was the most Velveeta thing that has ever transpired between my fingers and the keyboard…so I apologize for that, and let me just tell you that we had an absolutely wonderful time working with this awesome Senior, and we would now like to stop all of this typing and get to the goods that are just waiting to be got a mere few words away. So – Enjoy!

Our Monday came to a wonderful conclusion with a visit from the simply wonderful Katelynn (and her equally wonderful assistant, Erica!) And just why did Katelynn decide to stop down to the FunCenter on this lovely day? Well, it was not just to say hi, it was instead to get some superawesometacularSeniorSnaps (eventually I’m just going to take the spaces out of the entire post and just create one long word that would describe what is occuring)!

I’ll tell you what, we had a great time working with Katelynn (& assistant…the world’s best assistant) and I will go as far to say that we were able to get some totally awesome snaps! My favorite part was when I had no problem sending both Jamie & Erica up some crazy fire escape, but yet personally refused to do so myself. I’m a regular knight in freakin’ armor! A real Gent – that’s me!

Okaydokey then (this is another expression that people with thick North Dakotan accents should not use), let us now take just a little bit of time before we lose our minds on just how gorgeous her pics look, and say thank you to Katelynn for coming down and brightening up our lives! Muchos Gracias (that is some foreign language for ‘Thanks, Then’), and it’s on to the pics – Enjoy!

I don’t know what it is, but I really seem to be using the expression ‘dig’ more frequently than I ever have before. Perhaps I am morphing into some 1970’s man, with a perm…and a mustache…and polyester…sweet sweet polyester. Or maybe this is the person that I’ve always been, and I’m finally unlocking my true self. Whatevs.

We need to do a little talking about this lady, this lovely person, this one that we call ‘Lindsay.’ We need to do a little talking about how awesome she was to work with. We need to go over how she had such great ideas, and we also need to do some discussing about how she was a total pro to work with. After we’ve taken a half an our lunch, our discussion of ‘Lindsay’ will continue with a short presentation on how we would like to thank older brough-ham Shawn* for assisting with the shoot, and to North Hill Bowl for their help, and finally, we will conclude with a PowerPoint presentation on ‘Thank You’ to Lindsay for being so great, and for making the time just fly on by!

Alright. E.mail me back if you can do the meeting, and what kind of sandwich you would like for lunch – Enjoy!

*Thanks to Shawn for the Correction – Peace Yo.

Can you dig if I lay one more down on you from the totally lovely Becky? What’s that? You say you can??!! Groovy, man – Dig!

Ahh shucks, man…I love it when I can speak hip/hop in the blog titles! As this totally fresh (that means ‘cool’ for all of you squares out there) post title suggests, this past Thursday (now I’m talkin’ ’bout the one past, not the current version) morn’, we spent a little quality time with the one and only Stephanie!

Our mission, which we so accepted, was to get some reallyawesometotallysweet Senior Snaps of this wonderful person! Does person sound too informal? I didn’t want to say ‘wonderful lady’, because that sounds too weird and old person, and ‘wonderful girl’ sounds like she will be entering grade school this year, so I think that I will just stick with person. I guess I could have said ‘wonderful humanoid’, but that sounds a little too scientific.

Alright, now that we’re settled on that, we had a great time working with Stephanie, as we traveled far and wide in search of the snaps, and I can say with confidence that we got ourselves plenty, in fact, we got ourselves a boat-load (which, if you happen to have a thick North Dakotan accent, is a word that you should stay away from) of awesome snaps!

As the saying goes, you didn’t come here to read some sort of digital chicken scratches on your monitor, you came here to look at some totallysweetsnaps, so – Enjoy!
