our new house

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

 

I mentioned in the previous post that we just moved… I’ve been meaning to show you the new place :) So… here it is! We now live in McCordsville, Ind. It’s about 20 minutes northeast of downtown. Eventually we’re planning on turning the entire first level into a place where we can meet our clients :D Wouldn’t that be COOOOL?!

On a side note… notice the sky is white? I once had a photography professor who, anytime the sky was not blue… he’d photoshop in a VIBRANT blue sky with big poofy clouds… I thought it’d be funny to do to this image… but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Last week we moved from Greenwood to McCordsville. Then, I had a two wedding weekend last weekend… one in Lafayette, the next in Toledo. Then on Monday… we had an engagement session in Fort Wayne and last night an engagement in Bloomington.

As a result, I’m not feeling well :(

Thank you in advance for your patience…

we exceeeeeeeeded our bandwidth!

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

 

Last night, we exceeded our bandwidth.

What is bandwidth? I needed clarifacation so I asked on a wedding photographer message board. Here’s Nate’s explanation. “Bandwidth is how many people are looking at your site and clicking on photos and slideshows. Basically, it measures how much data leaves your server and goes to other peoples computers.”

For those of you who visited the site last night… you already knew that the site was down. I think it happened around 7pm, I’m not 100% sure. I started getting phone calls around that time (thanks Lauren :D ) to tell me. I get home from a shoot in Bloomington to find that many of my faithful blog readers have emailed me in a panic.. “BOBBI YOUR SITE IS DOWN!!!!” Gosh, I love you guys!

So, I sent in an emergency ticket to my web host and they fixed it immediately! She said that we’re getting 8 times more hits than their average client :D WOW! (they deal almost exclusively with photographers) We were back up and running by 1am…

 

Here’s the report as of this morning….

This is just a BIG BIG BIG thanks to all of you guys who keep coming back! DON’T STOP! :D WE LOVE IT!!!! You guys keep on visiting the site, and I’ll just keep on increasing the bandwidth :D

They chose to see each other prior to the ceremony. I’m standing with Nick.. it’s just the two of us. He looks over at me and says, “should I lose the glasses?” I said… “you do whatever you feel more comfortable in…” I look over and see Kari coming… SHE’S wearing HER sunglasses, too! Maybe you had to be there… it was SUPER cute!

LIVESTRONG® was a HUGE part of their day! Their wedding colors included yellow just so they could incorporate it :D Every guest had one waiting for them at their seat. They dedicated it to her late Uncle who was greatly inspired by Lance Armstrong’s story. The two of them never take their bracelets off, and the wedding was no exception. I haven’t taken mine off since. I showed the image to Nick… he told me I was a badass :D I’ll take it!

MUNCIE, Ind. Kari and Nick… what a PERFECT day! Great weather, great people, great location, great EVERYTHING = GREAT photos! :D I’m so lucky.. :)

Guess what? Nick’s a GRAPHIC DESIGNER!!! Okay.. I know I’m annoying you with all of that, but I just LOVE it! He works in page layout for a newspaper in Arizona. Pretty impressive, eh?

Kari works PR for a brownie distrubuter… yeah, she even sent me some prior to the wedding. THEY’RE AMAAAAAAZING! Go to this website and buy a truckload, just DO it!

Next time you’re in town… we’ll meet up for brownies and milk :) And… maybe dinner, too :D

LOVE TO YOU!!!!
