You guys are absolutely adorable. Today I was feeling kind of hopeless in my photo business, but for some reason watching that video has inspired me. Thank you guys, I’m sure you only intended to share your year, but you have giving me hope, because I see that you too have slept on floors and moved homes, and have been exhausted like the me :-). Keep up the amazing work. ~ Martin

our holiday card, 2011

For those who are new to the bbmk blog this year… I’d like to formally introduce you all to our holiday card! We’ve been creating these since 2003, the year we got married. That year the card read, “Married Christmas!” I know… OH so witty!;)We’ve been trying to turn the creativity notch up every year since then.

So, before I show you 2011′s card, let’s make a quick trip down memory lane… here are the last three years…
My personal favorite. I thought we’d never top this.  This was the first year I altered the bobbi+mike logo on the back to match the theme. I’ve been doing it since.:)

Mike’s all-time favorite… our Awkward Family Photo.:D

Without further ado… Our holiday card, 2011!:D…the year that our holiday card almost caused an accident!  You see, we were shooting in front of our home (self timer style) when a gawker swerved into the oncoming lane… SCREEEECH, HONNNNNNNNK, WHOA!!!!!!!

Though, if I had seen this scene happening I’d probably stare too… ESPECIALLY with me running back and forth in a dress that was WAY too long (I fell twice!), while a reflector hoisted to a light stand kept flying away (it was SOOOO windy)! If only we’d had video of this. I’m telling you we looked like a live British comedy show!

Oh, by the way… many people said that they thought we looked super skinny… it’s an illusion.  I stretched the photo so that it looked more like the original. ;)

Merry Everything friends!:)

Much love,

~bobbi+mike

GeorgiaJanuary 24, 2012 - 10:23 pm

Those are awesome!! You guys are hillarious. And the awkward family photo really is top notch!

KevinJanuary 18, 2012 - 10:42 pm

This is my first visit to your site and my first comment (of course)…and while we have never met, after seeing these cards we are now friends! Love them all! Your work is awesome!

JacqieJanuary 13, 2012 - 7:02 pm

I love you guys. So flipping much. Your card made my day when I received it. <3

Red Chilli PhotographyJanuary 12, 2012 - 8:35 am

RachelJanuary 10, 2012 - 11:37 am

kailiJanuary 6, 2012 - 6:20 pm

ChristinaJanuary 4, 2012 - 11:10 pm

You people are brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant! I am speechless :)

Nicole McJanuary 4, 2012 - 10:39 pm

my absolute favorite about your cards is how you change the logo! No detail missed! :) So great.

MollyJanuary 4, 2012 - 9:33 pm

umm… this is hilarious. Seriously couldn’t wait to see this post. What took me so long?

AmandaJanuary 4, 2012 - 5:56 pm

I love all your posts, but these cards are awesome! I was sharing the awkward family photo one with my cousins a few weeks ago. They thought it was hilarious. We then thought we should try to do one with all of the cousins on my dad’s side. Also, I want to steal the “Married Christmas” for this coming Christmas, as I’m getting married in September. You’re so creative! Hope your holidays were wonderful!

ChristinaJanuary 4, 2012 - 11:04 am

Those cards are fantastic
The matching logo is brillant, I must say

MombaJanuary 1, 2012 - 11:49 am

I look forward to your Christmas card every year. To those who think I get a preview of the upcoming card, they are wrongo. I too have to wait. My favorite is the take from “The Christmas Story”.

abigail+collin

Are you prepared to fall in love with a couple you’ve never met? Because that’s about to happen (unless of course you’ve met them… then of course you already adore them, duh)!

Collin, are you kidding me with those dimples?!SURPRISE! SHE’S A HOT TAMALE REDHEAD!!!:DAbigail and Collin were our models for our last workshop of 2011… and they couldn’t have been more perfect. I love this image! When I sneak peeked it on Facebook Abigail responded, “Oh my goodness!!! Love Love Love! It’s like you captured a secret moment!”I love how much you love her.“I ooooonly have eyes for youuuuuuu…”:DWhen I look at images of people, I always look at their hands… the hands say so much about a relationship. Just pay attention, you’ll see what I mean.:)…there’s nothing like a little stairwell romance!
My favorite!:!:….or stair romance for that matter!;)OHHH ABIGAIL!!!! You are so beautiful! You’re going to make such a gorgeous bride.:)



……………………………

Indianapolis, Ind.

Wedding :: Fall, 2012 :: Indianapolis, Ind.

Together :: 12.2.09

Engaged :: 8.26.11

Abigail :: student, Indiana University – seeking a career as a Child Life Specialist :: Hometown :: Carmel, Ind.

Collin :: student, Indiana University – seeking a career in publishing/marketing/writing :: Hometown :: Carmel, Ind.

How they met, as told by Abigail :: “We are both from Carmel Indiana. We didn’t know each other in high school, but we met playing euchre freshman year of college. When sophomore year rolled around, we started casually hanging out- a guitar lesson here, an episode of the office there, a nerf gun fight with couch cushion shields, etc. By the time Thanksgiving break came, we wound up head over heels for each other. And the rest is history.”

……………………………



…Mike humor.;)I’d call this dedicated!While I was taking this image….
….he was taking this one! I have no idea why I stand like I do. Really, no idea.While he was taking this…
I turned around and took THIS! I love everything about this image. Eleven awesome people excited to learn + my favorite person in the while world = the perfect end to our year.Workshop, round 5.:)Check out that trifecta of red hair!

For those who want to be among the first to know when the next workshops will be… be sure to add yourself to the announcement list here.

Much love friends!

ValerieDecember 21, 2011 - 11:15 pm

I’ve been waiting FOREVER to comment on a post but now is the time…one of Abigail’s sisters is my dear friend and I have been waiting sooo impatiently for this post ever since Katelin told me Abigail won the spot as a workshop model! These photos are absolutely beautiful :)

jess gallegosDecember 21, 2011 - 11:02 pm

Brittany WDecember 21, 2011 - 9:46 pm

angieDecember 21, 2011 - 2:30 pm

Love these pics of this cutie couple! You are sooooo right Bobbi! The hands always say it ALL! It can be the best image, but if the emotion is faked the hands will always tell all! Love how you always bring out the best in your subjects! PS sent a holiday card to your studio address, then realized you posted your new home address. hope you still receive! the kids are excited to see you again this summer in Indy!

PolyDecember 21, 2011 - 1:27 pm

Love the pictures, I’m such a big fan of Bobby + Mike!!! I’m an argentinian living in Mexico City… Choose us for the next workshop and we’ll do anything to go to Indianapolis!!!!

VIBRANT IMAGES COMIN’ ATCHYA!!!

Have you ever heard the name Sheridan as a first name? I know I haven’t but I’m in LOVE with it! For those of you who don’t know, that’s my last name… These two volunteered to be our workshop models :). We’re also photographing their wedding in June. BOOM! My view.  Mike’s view.Three things. 1) HELLO GORGEOUS EYES! 2) Holy big muscles Batman! 3) Uhm, Christina Ricci? Confirmed…:)Abandoned blue car? Don’t mind if we do! GAH! Love this couple!!! F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E.:!:My view…
…and Mike’s. I won. BOOOOYAH!Then a quick outfit/location change to finish out the session. I’m telling you, once we were in this bucolic setting, Sheridan hit a whole new comfort level.  He must be a country boy at heart!LOVE!When can we photograph you again? Oh yeah… June! :D 

Danielle and Sheridan, thank you thank you THANK YOU for helping make our 4th workshop such a great experience for both us and the attendees. You two were PERFECTO!:D

Indianapolis, Ind.

Wedding  ::  June 2, 2012  ::  Columbus, Ind.

Together  ::  06.04.08

Engaged  ::  03.17.11

Danielle   ::  Grad Student, Indiana University  ::  Hometown  ::  Greensburg, Ind.

Sheridan  ::   Sales & Operations at Cook Medical  ::  Hometown  ::  Wisner, Neb.

How they met, as told by Danielle ::  ”We were both teaching in the same program in Italy and all the teachers had a training in a little town on the coast. After a day or two, Shay worked up the courage to talk to me. The next day, he went to the director of the program and asked her to place the two of us in the same city.  Thankfully, she did.”

……………………………

 

Loved this group:)
I call this move, “the claw.”:)If I know me… and given the ornery face I’m making… I probably just said something ridiculously inappropriate.On the right… Mike’s setting up the self timer group shot. On the left, me… getting personal;)HERE WE ARE!

For those who want to be among the first to know when the next workshops will be… be sure to add yourself to the announcement list here.

Much love friends!

Bobbi, I love seeing your face as you struggle to see the back of your camera when you don’t have enough height! It makes me feel better because I do the same thing. I also carry a step ladder to all my shoots because EVERYONE is taller then me :)

Fantastic photos guys, I love this shoot.
If I lived closer, I’d totally be all over the workshop. Unless you do an Aussie trip ;)
