For those who are new to the bbmk blog this year… I’d like to formally introduce you all to our holiday card! We’ve been creating these since 2003, the year we got married. That year the card read, “Married Christmas!” I know… OH so witty!
We’ve been trying to turn the creativity notch up every year since then.
So, before I show you 2011′s card, let’s make a quick trip down memory lane… here are the last three years…
My personal favorite. I thought we’d never top this. 
This was the first year I altered the bobbi+mike logo on the back to match the theme. I’ve been doing it since.
Mike’s all-time favorite… our Awkward Family Photo.
Without further ado… Our holiday card, 2011!
…the year that our holiday card almost caused an accident! You see, we were shooting in front of our home (self timer style) when a gawker swerved into the oncoming lane… SCREEEECH, HONNNNNNNNK, WHOA!!!!!!!
Though, if I had seen this scene happening I’d probably stare too… ESPECIALLY with me running back and forth in a dress that was WAY too long (I fell twice!), while a reflector hoisted to a light stand kept flying away (it was SOOOO windy)! If only we’d had video of this. I’m telling you we looked like a live British comedy show!
Oh, by the way… many people said that they thought we looked super skinny… it’s an illusion. I stretched the photo so that it looked more like the original. ;)
Merry Everything friends!
Much love,
~bobbi+mike
SURPRISE! SHE’S A HOT TAMALE REDHEAD!!!
I love how much you love her.
“I 
When I look at images of people, I always look at their hands… the hands say so much about a relationship. Just pay attention, you’ll see what I mean.
…there’s nothing like a little stairwell romance!
My favorite!
….or stair romance for that matter!
OHHH ABIGAIL!!!! You are so beautiful! You’re going to make such a gorgeous bride.
…Mike humor.
I’d call this dedicated!
While I was taking this image….
….he was taking this one! I have no idea why I stand like I do. Really, no idea.
While he was taking this…
I turned around and took THIS! I love everything about this image. Eleven awesome people excited to learn + my favorite person in the while world = the perfect end to our year.
Workshop, round 5.
These two volunteered to be our workshop models :). We’re also photographing their wedding in June. BOOM! My view. 
Mike’s view.
Three things. 1) HELLO GORGEOUS EYES! 2) Holy big muscles Batman! 3) Uhm, Christina Ricci? Confirmed…
Abandoned blue car? Don’t mind if we do! 
GAH! Love this couple!!! 
F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E.
…and Mike’s. I won. BOOOOYAH!
Then a quick outfit/location change to finish out the session. I’m telling you, once we were in this bucolic setting, Sheridan hit a whole new comfort level. He must be a country boy at heart!
LOVE!
When can we photograph you again? Oh yeah… June! :D 
I call this move, “the claw.”
If I know me… and given the ornery face I’m making… I probably just said something ridiculously inappropriate.
On the right… Mike’s setting up the self timer group shot. On the left, me… getting personal
HERE WE ARE!
