It was a cooooold October day…

Starting things off with my favorite

 

 

 We swung by Xavier's basketball stadium and grabbed this one

 

 LOVE the red!

 

 Mikey's favorite!

 

 Wacky Bobbi strikes again!

 

 

 

 AYKM?! Megan, you're eyes are GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

 BRING IT IN TIIIIGHT!

 

 I love me some newspaper stands!

 

CINCINNATI, Ohio. I think that every Megan and Matt duo gets married in October… we had one this year… and we have TWO Megan and Matt's next year for October… isn't that crazy?!

Here's what I learned about these two while we were sessioning (yes, I know sessioning isn't a word… but it's my blog… and I can do what I want… BOOOYA!) SOOOO… in a quick nutshell: Matt is a masters student at Xavier and is originally from Louisville. Megan has a food and wine blog and is originally from Indianapolis.  They met at Xavier in Cincinnati in undergrad and got engaged in Europe. That's the "about them in five seconds or less" version.  If you blog readers knew how fast I talked…. You'd believe I could bust it in five seconds…

See you guys next October!

Love

Mike… playing in traffic.

I've been SO excited to share these images with you all!

 

 I was taking a standard portrait… you know… for the announcement in the paper and for the grandmas… when Mike somehow saw THIS.  There is NO one else who could second shoot for me other than him… how he finds these angles is beyond me… and yes… I'm the luckiest wife/photographer in the world  

"everything it's cracked up to be" … PERFECTION! This one's my favorite

 

 

 SIGN ME UP FOR THOSE LEGS!!!!!!!!

 

 Oh, Hi Chicago!

 

 Kevin, you are SO handsome!

 

 If you were there with us in this moment… you'd be laughing too

 

 

 If you come on a shoot with us… you have to be down for anything… and these two definitely were

 

 HELLOOOO GORGEOUS EYES! Nicole, I had these tiles put in before our shoot to match your eyes.  You're welcome

 

 

 I really love shooting in urban areas, just do Try… next time you're in a downtown area… seeing it with new eyes… you'll start seeing doorways, alleys, old buildings, things that would usually be passed by as junk… in a whole new light. When and if you ever decide to try this little experiment, be sure to bring along your camera

 

 

 ME LOVE SYMMETRY!

 

 

We make a living playing in traffic Mike's favorite

 

CHICAGO. We love shooting engagement sessions. Nicole and Kevin are the perfect couple with perfect wedding plans… I mean duh… they hired us… of course they know what they're doing

When Nicole told us that she and Kevin owned a scooter…. I WAS PUMMMMMMPED!!!!!! I guess when Kevin went into the scooter dealership… he had a very specific scooter that he wanted.. wellllll…. the ONLY ones that were in stock were red.  He really wanted a blue one… but that would have taken a month to come in… so he settled with red.  HOWEVER… from an "engagement session with scooter" standpoint… THE RED WAS AWWWWESOME!

On that note… we really love when couples go outside of the box and try to think of new and exciting things to incorporate into their sessions to make them unique to them. Okay, off of that soapbox…

The four of us had a blast walking around Chicago… one of the many things I love about place is that everytime were there… we see something completely new (to us). This time… we explored the western part of downtown Chicago… loved it

We SO canNOT wait until their wedding…. August, 2010….. YEAH!!!!!!!

Love!

 "… you've lost that loving feeeeeeling… ohhhh that loving feeeeeling" Mikey's favorite

 

…and this one is my favorite

 

with dad perfection.

 

PENDLETON, Ind.  What an incredible day these two had… They're both so laid back and incredibly sweet… oh and they have hilarious friends BONUS!

Amy is a graphic designer… and like most graphic designers that we photograph… not ONE detail was overlooked… she did a fantastic job of designing each and every aspect… from the centerpieces to the programs… it was all PERFECTION!

My favorite part of this day was simply watching them interact… they love love LOVE each other SO much… the way the look at one another…. touch… hold… etc etc etc… it's just awesome. Makes photographing them pretty easy, too  

My SECOND favorite part? These two… along with their crazy friends… LOVE to make people laugh!  From the sneak attack intro to the human bowling dance off… I don't think I quit laughing the entire day. AHHHH SOOOO FUNNNN!!!! "Please don't stop the music… music… music… music…"

We adore you two… and can't thank you enough for being so amazing.

LOVE!!!!!!!

WELLLLL…. I've been putting off weighing… as I've been feeling REALLY bad about myself and my choices for the past two weeks. You see, if you at all follow me on Twitter… I've been traveling a LOT lately… and when I travel… I REALLY struggle with healthy eating. 

 

 

 

In the past, we've tried packing a cooler… but it usually stinks up the whole car and if you know me… bad smells make me nauseous… so, that's a no go.  I also struggle with making good "out-to-eat" choices when traveling.  And then… yes yes yes… when I'm out of the office so much… I don't make time for working out because I'll take EVERY second I can get to get caught up with work… and the gym just doesn't fit into that schedule.  So, of course… I have terrible anxiety attacks when I know that it's going to be a busy travel week. With anxiety comes eating.  I SUCK AT TRAVELING+DIETING!!!!!! And if these appear to be excuses… they aren't… I'm fully admitting to bad choices.

To be honest… all of this travel is the reason I started gaining weight back in July… travel is a HUGE part of my biz… so I'm going to HAVE to learn how to deal with it and make better decisions…. or I'm going to be on this slippery slope FOREVERRRRR!

SOOOOOO….. my offical weigh in? I've gained 1.2 pounds back… making my total weight loss -2.4 pounds since the beginning. 

Sorry to be such a debbie downer… I've just been DREADING writing this because I KNEW I had nothing good to report…

Starting this week…. my travel schedule is GREATLY reduced… so, that's FANTASTIC news for me and my weight loss.

I hope you all have had a better couple of weeks than I have… And you know what… even if you didn't… I'll still love you! We all have ups and downs, right? RIGHT!

PS. be sure to report your loss in percentage form.  If you don't know how to figure that… go back and read this entry.  Also, make sure that you report it down there in the comment section, k? Just like last time… it's too hard for me to keep track of it on Facebook, comments, twitter, email, etc etc etc… so, if all of the info is in one place… I'll be able to keep up with it better Thanks guys!
