Meet Rob, a hot shot real estate agent based in downtown Indianapolis:)

 

 He asked for "not a cheesy lame real estate headshot" He wanted something more urban, edgy and badass.

 

 So….

 

 WE GAVE HIM URBAN….

 

….EDGY & BADASS!!!!  check… and… MARK!

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  Rob is fun, young, fashionable, etc… he isn't the type to be photographed in front of a blue muslin with a big ol' cheesy grin.  As in… every other real estate agent head shot you've ever seen. :)  When he asked us for something less conventional, we were excited:D 

Oh, it's important to mention that Rob said that he doesn't look good in pictures. I promptly told him to shut up:)So, Rob… TOLD YA!

Much love friend!

gail and the 35

03.09.09

 

OHHHHH what a FUNNNNN Saturday we had!!!!!!

Betsy and Gail come to Indy to visit us, YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!!!:DThey came for a couple of reasons… to learn how to clean their sensors (which, according to Mike, is RIDICULOUSLY easy), off camera lighting, and our workflow/file organization. But really… most of the day… we just giggled.:DThank Mike for being so patient;)

Now, you all know Betsy of course… she's been on this blog many, many, many, MANY times!

AND NOW… INTRODUCING GAIL!!!!! Okay, that was a little over the top:)Gail is a photographer in Muncie who's GREAT friends with my GREAT friend Betsy:)So, if A equals B and B equals C… that THAT must mean that I'm GREAT friends with Gail, too!  Have I lost you yet?  Gosh, I'm not even sure I'm following along.

ANYWAY… when Betsy and Gail had finished cleaning their sensors, they decided to play with some of our lenses.  Betsy grabbed my all-time favorite… the 50mm 1.2:)Gail grabbed an up and coming favorite… the 35mm 1.4:)As they stood on our balcony shooting with it… I couldn't resist grabbing Gail's camera with that 35 attached and shooting one of her:)So.. I did!

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THAT BEAUTY?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!!! You couldn't have resisted either… guaranteed.:)

 That was taken at 1/200th of a second… backlit during the setting sun at f 1.6:)ANNNND… ISO 160.

 

And there she is… our beloved 35 1.4:)(of course, taken with my true favorite… the 50mm 1.2:D)

 

What I love about the 35 is that it's pretty close to how our eyes see the world.  I like to show everyone how I see the beauty of people… through my eyes.  I like to shoot up close and personal with it.  I like how intimate the images are.  I like that when you see photos from that lens, you can feel like you were right there experiencing it right next to us.  Gosh, I'm sounding RIDICULOUSLY cheesy but really… this is exactly how I feel. :) 

It's oh so sharp, quick to focus… and well… it's just an awesome little lens:D

Okay, that's it from me… for now:)

I know I know… our blog has been a little bit slow lately… but, we scheduled a few weeks off from shooting so that we could do exciting things like… taxes:)I do have to say that it's been GREAT getting all caught up on the paperwork/organization side of things because when things aren't done, I'm an anxiety attack waiting to happen. 

Shooting is picking up for us a bit this week… so our little blog will have some life thrown right back into it!;)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

~:!:

PS. Betsy and Gail met through THIS very blog… isn't that COOL?! I don't really know the specifics but something like Gail had seen Betsy's photos here…. clicked over to her blog… saw how amazingly awesome Betsy was…. and they started emailing. :D  As a side note… Gail never emailed me due to how amazingly awesome I am…. but, whatever, she knows now.;)

PPS. I hope you guys know that I'm being sarcastic.  Mike thought I should remove that last PS.  I responded, "NO ONE would EVER think I'm being serious!" His response, "I know… but I'm not sure they know…" So… now you know:D

OHHHHH HOW WE LOOOOOVE THIS FAMILY!!!!!!

 

My favorite:!:

 

 The Internet famous Miles hasn't made an appearance on this blog in quite a while… it was SO time! Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 

SOOOOO FLIPPING ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 Betsy requested a photo for a canvas to put above her bed… here's what we came up with.  I say… HOT HOT HOTTTT!!!! (PS. I want some boots like that!)

 

 

 


 

 

 Perfect.

 

 

FORT WAYNE, Ind. As I already mentioned, we love this family OH SO MUCH! Betsy and John, as many of you know, are both INCREDIBLY talented. Betsy runs a super successful photography business in Fort Wayne and John is a composer of marching band shows.  Yeah… talk about DRIPPING in talent!

Many of you may remember Betsy and John from the AMAAAAAAAZING wedding of Cassie and Jason (where we got to help them out).:)

However, I'm SURE that most of you will remember the ADORABLE Miles! Miles gets more blog requests than anyone here in bobbi+mike land.

"Hey Bobbi, when is Miles going to be making an appearance on the blog?"

"We haven't seen Miles in a while!"

"How's that baby doing who said your name on that video?!"

This is the third time we've photo'd this amazing family…

 

First time: two months old.

 

2nd time: 9 months old

 

And…. you just saw the third time:)

 

It really is the absolute best part about our jobs…. watching families grow.  Hopefully someday we'll get to take his senior photos.;)CLASS OF 2025 BABY! HAHAHAHAHA!

Betsy and John… two of our favorite people in the whole world…. thank you THANK YOU for being some of our best friends. :) 

LOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!
