WE FLIPPING ADOOOOOORE THIS FAMILY!!!!!

 

Are you KIDDING me with his cuteness?!

 

;)

 

 How much do you love that smile!? AHHHH!!!!!

 

This might be my favorite… though, let me get back with you on that…:!:Mikey's favorite, too:?:

 

 What an attractive group!  I want to join the family just so I can be guaranteed that beauty!  Okay… now I've gone too far…

 

 love.

 

 "OUT OF MY WAY MOM… I HAVE WEEDS TO REACH!!!!"

 

Jessica, you're ga-ga-ga-glowwwwwing!

 

;)

 

 Orrr… maybe THIS is my favorite:!:

 

 

 

:)

 

He's SO funny!

 

 I know I've already said it once… but ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

 

 OH to be a kid again…

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. I met Jessica about two years ago at a local photography workshop and immediately adored her.  Hmm… why was she at a photography workshop? BECAUSE SHE'S A PHOTOGRAPHER, DUH!!!! If you didn't already know, Jessica is THE LemonGrass Photographer.:DWell, AT that workshop… I found out that she was VERY newly pregnant :) 

As you're about to see by the ridiculous amount of action photos that I've included in this entry… we are so damn crazy about this family!  Bryson is SO full of energy and happiness.  He's just learned to walk about 3 months ago… and let me tell you… this young man doesn't just walk…. he RUNS!!!!  Luckily, I've been workin' on my fitness…:)

Every time we shoot sessions like these… I can't help but wish that I had photos like this of me with my parents when I was that age.  Just think about how much Bryson will love these when he's an adult…:)Pretty neat to think about, huh?

Jessica and Matt, we're hugely honored that you asked us to photograph your sweet family.  We genuinely can't wait to do it again.:)

Much love!

 As you can CLEARLY tell, I've been doing Pilates;)HA!

HELLOOOOOO NAVY PIER!!!!

 

;)

 

 I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PHOTO!!!!!! My favorite!:!:

 

 

 

 Nothing like a little nap next to a big ol' trailer!;)

 

 Purple+Blue+Red=awesome!

 

 They're doing lots of construction on the pier…. well, we found access to it:)The place was empty! For the record, it was easy to find access… we weren't being THAT sneaky!

 

 Back in the construction we found a HUUUUUGE anchor… who could resist?! :)

 

 Marisa, you're beautifullll… B. E. A. UTIFUL!

 

So, I've been feeling the bike racks lately, don't be mad. k? k. 

 

 See "Glinda the Good Witch" on the right in front of his arm?  If you get that… I'm impressed.;)

 

 Mikey's favorite:?:(and another favorite of mine, too:!:)

 

CHICAGO. Marisa and Anthony asked for Navy Pier… so we GAVE them Navy Pier!  Mike asked, "there will be lots of people around, are you okay with that?" They responded, "no problemo!" So… we embraced it and had LOTS of fun with it!!!!! I was so worried that they wouldn't be comfortable being themselves with THOUSANDS of people walking by… BOY OH BOY WAS I WRONG?! These two worked it out like we were the only four there… and as you can CLEARLY tell by that first photo, we were FAR from the only people there…:)

On that note… what we love about shooting in Chicago is that the people around couldn't care less what you're doing.  Here in Indianapolis, people will stop and stare as though you're a street performer. A PERFECTO example can be found here.:)

Marisa and Anthony…:)Thank you thank you THANK YOU for asking us to be a part of your day:)CANNOT WAIT until July 3rd!:DSEEEE YOUUUUU THENNNNN!!!!!

Much love!

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

 

See, told ya!  I'm sitting in the MIDDLE of the walkway… and only ONE person is paying attention to me. :)

 

 HOT TAMALE?! HELLLL YES!!!!!!

 

 Can you find me?;)My orange hair makes it prettttty easy.

 

 SHE LIKES IT!

 

At the end of the session I looked over at Mike and said, "YOUR EYES ARE SOOOO GREEN! LET ME TAKE YOUR PICTURE!!!!" And THIS was what he gave me.  Thanks smartass.;)

:!:+:?:

amy+greg

 

 Meet the BEAUTIFUL team of amy+greg:)

 

 We started things off at Mrs. Curls.:)

 

 

 

so fun!:)

 

 

 

SO DAMN CUUUUUUUTE!!!!!

 

 

 

 HOT TAMALE?! Check and mark!

 

 

 

 

 Black and white images are just so powerful to me.  

 

 

 

 Mike, you're a genius:)

 

SUCH awesome blue eyes!!!! Here's my favorite, by the way:!:

 

Mikey's favorite:?:

 

These two were just so fun to photograph!!!!!!

 

 

 

 After we went our separate ways… and we were in our cars heading home… a weird ring was coming from my camera bag.  I started to investigate… OOOOOPS!!!! I still had Amy's phone in my bag!  The caller ID read "Greg is hot!" So what did I do? I picked up the phone and said… "GREG IS HOT!!!!!" He laughed and said… "HELL YEAH I AM!!!!"  Maybe you had to be there, it was funny.  So anyway… we headed back to Mrs. Curl to drop off her phone… and then we saw a NEW side of that amazing little Ice Cream Parlor… and couldn't resist taking just a few more photos. :)  Here's the one we like the most:D

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. OHHHHH HOW WE LOVE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS!!!!!!  OHHHHHHH how we LOVE photographing people who can't keep their hands off of each other!:)OHHHHHHH how we LOVE photoing graphic designers!!!!!! OHHHHHHH how we LOOOOOOVE Amy and Greg!!!!!:D

These two seriously cannot stop making googly eyes at one another…. it's awesome!  After our session, I couldn't wait to go home and snuggle with my husband…. they inspired us to make googly eyes ourselves!!!! Yes yes yes, I'm quite cheesy… don't hate.

You two, we cannot WAIT to photograph you again in September!

MUCH LOVE!!!

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

 

I was testing the light as Amy and Greg talked to one of the employees about our session.:)I told Mike to "talk to his lover" in that chair sitting beside him… and THIS was the cute little face he made!  We came home and I said, "I've never seen a photo of you looking like this!  His response, "well, you've never taken a photo of me talking to my imaginary wife!" HAHAHAHA!!!!  Mike, I love you so so so much!!!!!!!

 

:)

 

 He's hardcore! 

 

:!:+:?:

 

kamala+steve

 

 Kamala, OH HOW WE ADORE THEEEEEE!!!!!

 

 This is so funny to me!  An empty salon with two people working on the same person:)(PS. this is when you're supposed to laugh.  SO LAUGH!!!!)

 

 

 Kamala is one of the most beautiful people I've ever met… both inside and out.  SO, I sorta couldn't resist putting up lots of bridals of her.  CAN YOU BLAME ME?!

 

 woah! ::said like joey lawrence:: 

 

 AYKM?!

 

 WORK IT OUT KAMALA… WORRRRRK IT OUT!!!!!!

 

 MEANWHILE…. the guys were playing FOOOOTBALLLLLL!!!!!  This one one of the craziest/most fun group of guys we've ever met!

 

 

 

 WE LOVE US SOME SYMMETRY!!!!!

 

 GAHHHHH I LOVE THIS PHOTOOOOOO!!!!!  She's so proud and excited while he's about ready to lose it!  This is one of the best things about being a two-person photo team.  While Mike is getting the down the aisle shots, I'm always able to get the last moments with dad. :)It's my favorite moment of almost every wedding:)

 

 Shot "guest eye" style! (I was sitting in the back pew):D

 

 AYKM?!

 

 

 

 This bridal party ROCKED!!!!!!

 

Just like with the bridal shots… I couldn't resist putting up so many of the photos that we took of just the two of them.  We found a REALLY fun setting with lots of color, too. So, WIN WIN!  

We call this next series "RGB"

 Red…

 

 …Green…

 

 …Blue!  By the way, all three of the "RGB" are our favorites:!:+:?:

 

 TIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!

 

 

 

:)

 

 It's rare to see men really fight for the garter… I tell you, these guys did not disappoint.  The best man won it… and the way he's holding it reminds me of Link with his sword (you know, from Zelda!)

 

For any of you who follow me on twitter you saw that I talked about a wedding that when they played "Jai Ho", all of the guests JUMPED up and danced like no one was watching.  It was unbelievable.  PS. I've REALLY grown to LOVE my 5DmarkII;)

PITTSBURGH, PA. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY!!!!!!! I SO wish I were an amazing writer so I could tell you how flipping fantastic everything there was!  Luckily for you, we're pretty good photographers… so, we're able to show you how fantastic it was!!!!!

From the amazing weather, awesome friends, loving families, amazing planning… the day was PERFECTION! I know I say this all of the time but MAN OH MAN we have some phenomenal bridal parties that we get to work with… and these guys were NO exception!  It's not suprise that their friends are incredible people… because Kamala and Steve are about as awesome as awesome gets… so, yes yes yes… the surround themselves with awesome people.  The girls were SO incredibly fun and sweet!!!! The guys were, as I mentioned earlier… CRAZY!!!! Gosh, are you kidding me?! We had a blast!!!!!!

On a side note, here's a little b+m trivia.  The time between being a b+m bridesmaid and being a bride has never been such a stretch.  On April 1, 2006 Gaby and Rex got married… it was maybe our 3rd or 4th wedding we'd ever photographed.:DKamala was a bridesmaid that day.   Then… nearly 3 years later… when Kamala got engaged, she remembered us!  HOW FLIPPING AWESOME IS THAT?!  I, of COURSE, remembered her… how could anyone ever forget her!  I'm still just blown away that someone would remember us after 3 years…. Thank you thank you THANK YOU Kamala for asking us to be there!!!!!!

Yes, yes…you've been waiting quite patiently.  Here it is!  The slide show's user name is Kamala's maiden name, and the password is Steve's last name is all lower case.

And of course, here's the link to their entire gallery!  The user key is again Steve's last name.  Enjoy!

 

Gaby+Rex on the left and Kamala on the right:D

 

 

I know I've already said thank you… but wow… I can't say it enough.  Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!!

Much love to ALL of you!:D

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:
