 HEY MISS TATUM!:)

 

Ted was saying, "hmm… I think I'm getting a wet willy!" Mike's favorite:?:

 

 When Tatum would get bored with playing she'd exclaim, "ALL DONE!"

 

:)

 

AHHHHHH!!!!!!

 
My favorite!:!:
 
 
 

Doesn't that look SO fun?!

 

 "Where's your mouth?!"

 

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Tatum is just the sweetest little girl (as if you couldn't already tell by looking at these photos)! To make her smile all we had to do was talk about shoes or trucks :) 

An awesome family, fun locations and perfect weather…Check and mark!

Much love to you three! Hope we get to see you again and again and again and again…;)

to make addison smile…

Mike took a bit of video with our 5D Mark II’s at Addison’s session… We just bought Final Cut Express (video editing software) and I couldn’t help myself… Hope you enjoy watching this as much I enjoyed making it:)

By the way, that little boy is Quan.. their ridiculously adorable nephew:)

Love you guys!!!

Are you kidding me?! I had SO much fun with these bridesmaids!!!!

 

 I'm posting this little collage because I think the idea is GENIUS! For all of those maids of honor out there… pay attention:)Kathy did this for her sister Kristin when she got married… and Kristin returned the idea.:)The MOH asks every woman that's close to the bride (bridesmaids, aunts, grandmas, etc) to create a two page scrapbook spread… it can be anything they want… then the book is combined with all of the pages and given to the bride the night before.  I think that's the best gift you can give someone… even a bit better than a toaster oven… if you ask me:)

 

 Olivia Newton John meets Richard Nixon :) 

 

 This is a family of awesome smiles. 

 

 

 A funny story… One of the groomsmen lost their tux the morning of the wedding (well, that part's not funny). People were looking EVERYWHERE for it.  Nick even called down to the front desk, "if you guys see a tux laying around… not that you have ANY reason to… but if you DO happen to see a random tux, it's probably ours." Then someone said, "Billy, did you look in your closet?" Hmm… nope… THERE IT WAS!!!!:)

 

 

 

 

 

 They bought aviators for the entire bridal party.

 

 HELLOOOOOOO GORGEOUS BRIDESMAIDS!!!!!!

 

 HELLOOOOOO HOT TAMALE GROOMSMEN!!!!!!

 

 Mike caught this as I was taking the photo above. NICE CATCH! His favorite:?:

 

 

 They call me WACKY BOBBI!;)For you OSP INDY people, whaddaya think?!;)

 

 

And… WORK IT OUT!

 

 CLUTCH THAT CLUTCH CLUTCH!;)(that was for you, bridesmaids!)

 

 Kathy and I work out at the same gym… I would see her there ALL of the time… Uhm… CHECK OUT THOSE TRICEPS!!!!!:)I wanna look like that! By the way, my favorite:!:

 

 

 My view

 

Mikey's view.  He wins.:)

  

 

  "D'you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?":)Doesn't he look like the cutie patootie kid from Jerry Maguire?!  PS. Thanks Brandon for the lighting assist!

 

 Break it on down Momma!

 

 

 "D'you know that my next door neighbor has three rabbits?"  Okay okay, you get it… I'll shush…

 

 And another GEEEEENIUS idea! If your reception venue allows for it… order pizza for the late nighters! How many times have you been to a wedding and by the end of the night, you're STARVING! SO, yes yes yes… It was a HUGE hit!!!!

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Kathy and Nick had an incredible day. But I bet you can already tell that by looking at these photos. :)

Kathy was a bit paranoid about the rain… after all, at her sister's wedding, it poured allll day.  According to the radar, there was no rain in sight.  However… the sky told a different story… As soon as we went outside for photos of the bridesmaids… it started to rain. So, after further examination of the radar, we had 100% confidence that it was going to clear up by the time the ceremony ended.  And… YAHOOOOOSKI… WE WERE RIGHT!!!  

As you see above, we had a lot of fun with photos of the bridal party.  Kathy and Nick slated a lot of photo time (more than we've EVER had)… so we had a lot of time to bust out the creativity. And creativity we busted!!! BRING IT:)

I love leaving a wedding and feeling like I know the bride and groom ten times better than I did when we started… from the details, to meeting the friends, to the speeches… We feel like we've known these two our entire lives. Okay, that was extreme… but you get the idea.  They're both incredibly driven, competitive, funny, down-to-earth, real people who are surrounded by awesome families and hilarious friends (and they of course have amazing taste in photographers;)). 

The entire day was planned so perfectly, not ONE thing was overlooked… it was perfection:)

We cannot thank you enough for everything…:)MUCH LOVE!

Hey everyone!!  You came back!  So…click here for the slide show.  The user name is Kathy's maiden name, and the password is Nick's last name, in all lower case.  Also, click here to view their entire gallery.  The event key is again Nick's last name.

 

 Remember that aforementioned rain… yeah, while the bridesmaids were able to be covered by umbrellas… I wasn't as fortunate (luckily for me, I'm not needed in photos;)).  Please don't mind my ratty hair..:)Oh, and a big shout out to Kristin for taking this! You're a pro… 

 

 I LOVE ME SOME BRIDESMAIDS!!!!!

 

 Mike, you're fab.:)

 

 Kathy, I adore you.

FINALLY… Addison’s BIG DEBUT on the bloggg!:)

Yes, she’s breastfeeding here. Yes, we love this image. Yes, she said we can post it.:)

 Addison’s parents love her so much…

 see? I just love how sweetly she’s looking at me.:)…probably because I AM sweet, duhtown.

 When she gets married, this photo will play in her slideshow… In about 25 years, I’ll prove it (because I’ll be there coming out of wedding photography retirement just for her)…;)

 The light was magical:)OHHHH yes, I said MAGICAL!!!!

 AND THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is my FAAAAAAAVORITE image that I’ve taken in months.:!:I wish we had video of this moment:)Andrea was trying to lift Addison up and she kept throwing her head back to enjoy the rays.  She was just so incredibly happy.:)I’m doing this little story zero justice, it was awesome… just believe me, k? By the way, Mikey’s favorite too:?:

 …once a graphic designer, always a graphic designer;)

:)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. I don’t know what to say about these two that hasn’t already been said.:)After all, they’re sort of blog regulars.:DClick here to see: an engagement photo, a wedding photo, and a maternity photo:)

We all moved to Indianapolis from Fort Wayne at the same time.  So we sort of knew no one here…. well, except each other.  Over the past few years, these guys have become some of our best friends… They would do anything for us… as we would for them.

We love that we get to watch Addison grow up. No worries, as long as we’re watchin’… you’re watchin’, too!  You KNOW her little sweetness is going to be ALL over this blog for years to come.

We love you guys. Just do.:)

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

PS. Shameless plug… if you’re looking for an AMAZING graphic designer that specializes in branding/logo development… look no further! EMAIL RYAN RIGHT NOW!!!!!! Okay… shameless plug over.

PPS. Yes yes yes… the blog has bigger images now:)Oh… and I’m sure you noticed the new framing:DAnd keep a look out for the new header images… there are 130 different ones that rotate in on nearly every refresh. Hope you dig it!!!!!

OHHHH the things you’ll do to get a reaction!  By the end of the session I was doing some CRAZY stuff. I went to Pilates the next morning and could NOT for the life of me figure out why my neck was so sore… THEN it occurred to me… SUMMERSUALTS!!!! (OH yes… summersaults work like a charm to get the smiles!) My instructor said,”Be sure to tuck your head in the next time!” Could you imagine me preparing my form before I start actin’ all crazy!? HA!
