INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. I met Ali and Stephen at Erin & Lucky’s wedding in July… then, Ali was pregnant with Griffin :) HOWEVER… then, we all called Griffin “Addison”. During the sonogram… the doctor told them that HE was a SHE… SO, up until the SECOND he was born… EVERYONE thought he was supposed to be a girl. :) WHAT A SURPRISE THAT MUST HAVE BEEN!!!!! :D It’s funny though… EVERYTHING in Griffin’s room is pink. Ali has PILES and PILES of clothes… all… PINK! When they have a girl… they’ll be ready for it. :D

Now, I think that we’ll be seeing LOTS more of this baby as he grows older. I know you guys have heard me say this before… but that’s the BEST part about our career! We get to watch these babies grow… it’s the best ;)

Love love love love love,

We’re working on a little bobbi+mike print piece and we were wondering if you guys could help us :)

Can you think of one word to describe our photography/personalities? We’re REALLY struggling here. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Love you guys!

PS. this excludes you smart alec Nate ;)

When we first arrived… Camden was quite shy. :)

…and introspective…

But THEN he turned into the Camden I grew to adore! :D

 

03_camden.jpg

 

 

He didn’t want us to be the only one with a camera. He started taking OUR photos. He has some SERIOUSLY unflattering photos of me…. AHHHH!!!!

 

04_camden.jpg

 

 

I taught him how to take his own photo :D

SO much about this young man reminds of us of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. :)

“whatchyoo lookin’ at?”

Then we went outside and played in the snow :)

SPLAT!!!! Mike and Camden’s mom Melissa were having a snow ball war with him. HA!

SO busy!

To get Camden to do something silly… we had a jumping competition. Who can jump the highest? I definitely think he won! :) (more on that later ;) )

Then back inside to play us some rockin’ music. Camden learned from his dad who is in a rock band :)

Whew…. long day!

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. We had SUCH an fun morning with Camden and Melissa! I can tell you this… Camden is 100% boy! He’s ornery, competitive and independent. :D Yet he’s also sweet, charming and one of the CUTEST young men we’ve EVER met! :D

Getting Camden to be comfortable with the whole photo idea wasn’t easy… but once we were in, WE WERE IN! :D At the end of the day, he said… “Mike and Bobbi, I’ll miss you guys!” HOW SWEEEEEET IS THAT?! He gave us a quick hug and we were on our way!

I have a feeling this isn’t the last time you’ll see this little guy on our blog :) Melissa mentioned something about us coming up this summer for photos of the whole family. YAY!!! :D

LOVE!

~bobbi+mike :!: + :?:

 

Here’s a photo of that jumping competition I mentioned earlier. Told you I CLEEEEARLY didn’t win! :D Though, I’m quite sure this photo wasn’t taken of me at the highest point (at least I hope!) Look at Camden looking at the height of my feet to guarantee his win. Mike was supposed to be taking photos of just him… I guess he thought it would be funny to get a shot of me acting ridiculous. Go figure…

And here’s a bit of the snowball action :)

NC, TX, CO, MO, KS?

Mike and I were talking on our trip out to Ohio last week… and noticed in our schedules that we have two weeks with nothing scheduled in February. Well… we all know that the phone isn’t ringing off the hook for February portrait sessions here in Indy (it’s a bit cooooooold here) so we were thinking of going on a couple of trips.

We were VERY surprised at the response for Grand Rapids (who knew people in GR even knew we existed?!) SOOOO… :D We’ve gotten a LOT of inquiries from Texas and a few from North Carolina.

What if we were in North Carolina from February 7 through the 10th? (we’ll be leaving on the 11th) Would any of you guys out there be interested? If we can book at least six sessions (with $100 deposit) we’re on our way. We’ll fly into Raleigh Durham and willing to travel to Charlotte and Wilmington (where I have family :D ) HOW FUN WOULD THAT BE?!

And for Texas, we’re thinking February 13 – 16th (leaving on the 17th). We’d probably fly into Austin… because that’s pretty much in between San Antonio and Houston. For Texas, we’ll need to book 8 sessions (again, with a $100 deposit) and if we can do that… COUNT US IN! :D

I’m ALSO thinking of making a little pit stop from Vegas over to Denver February 21st – 24th. So if any of you Denver peeps want some photos, LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

One more thing… We’ll DEFINITELY be in Kansas City February 27th – March 2nd, so we’d LOVE to photo you guys there :)

I REALLY hope we have some blog readers in all of the above mentioned places :) Because Mikey and I LOVE to travel, LOVE LOVE LOVE it! (can’t you tell?!) :D Email me if you have ANY questions or to get this scheduled! YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!

 

UPDATE:

We’ve had SIX inquiries from Austin, Texas

ONE inquiry for North Carolina and,

ONE inquiry for Kansas City…

YAY!!!!!! Keep ‘em coming :)

 

 

And how boring is a photo bloggers blog without a photo?! So, here’s Mikey and me in Vegas last year. You guys have already seen this one… but it’s my favorite, so I mixed it up a bit and made it black and white. :)

So, I know this is all wishful thinking… but we thought it was worth a shot anyway :)

LOVE TO YOU ALLLLL!!!!!
