Kate’s hair reminds me of my Aunt Karen’s… and I love my Aunt Karen… so by default… I love Kate. If A = B and B = C then A must = C too, right? Man oh man, I’ve confused myself and it’s only my first sentence….

This car has been sitting abandoned… in the same spot for at least 3 years… so, what the hell… let’s get on it!

What famous person does Eric look like? To me, it’s 100000% obvious…

We stopped into a bar and had a quick drinkStrike that… they had a quick drink while we watched and drooled.

Love this.

The Marion County Fair happened to be going on that week so we took full advantage after the sun went down.

I teased this image on our Facebook page…. and some of you had questions. 1) I rode the ferris wheel with them. 2) I had my equipment strapped to me. 3) I was buckled in. 4) I was in the carriage by myself while Mike was on the ground shooting. 5) Yes, I was nervous with all of that equipment 100 feet up.

My favorite!You guys know how much I love canvases… this one would make a great one. Jusssst sayin’…

Mikey’s fave

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!Eric, you’re the best

If you could see my face here you’d see sheer terror. I was very nervous. Not because I’m scared of heights but because I’m clumsy and didn’t want to drop anything! My equipment was strapped on so well that it kept choking me… See the blond directly to my left? She’s looking at me like…. “betty, you caraaazy!”

What’s a Midwest fair without deep fried craziness. This looks absolutely disgusting to me… Eric and Mike of course HAD to try one. Eric wasn’t a fan. Mike, however… he loves ANYTHING and everything chocolate. I just heard that at this year’s Indiana State Fair they have deep friend butter (fast forward to 2:06 to see people eating it). DEEP FRIED BUTTER?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!? And we wonder why Americans have a weight issue?!!? I’m so grossed out by the thought of that!! Please friends… tempted as you may be, resist the fried butter? On behalf of the healthy train? PLEASE?! BLEHHHH!

I love these pictures so much! You captured Kate and Eric perfectly. The way they look at each other and their smiles are great. I cannot wait until the wedding to see what unforgettable pictures you will take. I think they look so good together, but then I am biased because I’m Kate’s mom.

DEEP FRIED BUTTER!!!! We had that at the MN state fair last year. I didn’t eat it, but I assure you it was a hit. The chocolate covered bacon was probably the top seller last year though…ISH!

kello!August 19, 2010 - 12:42 am

we were at the state fair and were also grossed out by everything! have you seen the krispy kreme burgers? blehhh!

I’m going with a young Phil Collins, but I guess I’m showing my age by saying that.

KateAugust 18, 2010 - 3:24 pm

Now I finally have pictures of this cute guy! Thank you for capturing us in this moment of our lives,the settings were perfect! I have a wall all ready for a canvas

jessAugust 18, 2010 - 1:59 pm

I have always wanted to do a shoot at a fair totally jealous!

April FosterAugust 18, 2010 - 11:36 am

The pictures on the rides are out of this world!

Angie JacksonAugust 17, 2010 - 8:33 am

amazingness!!

Colleen McMahonAugust 16, 2010 - 8:10 pm

I love them! I couldn’t wait to see what you came up with! Both of Kate and Eric’s personalities were captured perfectly. Especially the expressions they make! I am so excited to see what moments you can capture of my sister and my soon to be brother-in-law on October 2nd! See you soon!

I just got all gag-y at the though of people eating deep fried butter. On the bright side, I’m all revved up to grab some people and head to a fair for some bobbi+mike inspired awesomeness. Our fair was here 2 weeks ago, but NO FERRIS WHEEL!! WTH? Just the ferris-wheel-like contraption that basically flips you upside down. No thank you.

kristen davisAugust 15, 2010 - 11:36 pm

these are absolutely beautiful! love them but miss you.

KelseaAugust 15, 2010 - 10:39 pm

I had a deep fried milky way at the Three Rivers Festival in FW this summer and it was delicious!! I was too scared to try the butter but I heard it was wonderful!!

Shelley FreckletonAugust 15, 2010 - 12:26 am

Oh Jeramy was just salivating over your pictures! ;D He was so jealous because he really has been wanting to shoot at one. The closest we’ve come is a couple of weeks ago when we snuck into the ferris wheel at “funland” (which meant stepping over a chain 12 inches off the ground), pulled the cover off one of the seats, and hitched a bride into it. FAB! Entering that picture into the county fair here in Idaho!! We love you guys! :D….:D btw…that would TOTALLY be Jer riding the ferris wheel–they freak me out! Not only would I have all my equipment strapped to me, but I would probably tie myself to the seat!!! “I’ll shshhhh now”

TaraPantsAugust 15, 2010 - 12:04 am

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Katie you are a stunner! I can’t wait to see you on your wedding day and meet this wonderful man!! Bobbi and Mike these are SO fun!! Love them!!

HallyAugust 14, 2010 - 8:03 pm

Reading through the comments I have to say I agree with Gail, but I IMMEDIATELY saw that cutie patootie from Supernatural, Jeffery Dean Morgan. I think its the eyes. (Way to go Kate, he’s a cutie.)

AprilAugust 14, 2010 - 5:23 pm

I love love love this session! We were just at the Orange County fair and I too was appalled at the deep fried butter. We also had chocolate covered bacon. Uh. Ew. No thanks.

TashaAugust 14, 2010 - 2:40 pm

So in love with this session! Being from the midwest, I love me some county fair. Excellent.

KristinAugust 14, 2010 - 2:03 pm

LOVE them!!!! Love seeing their personalities come through! My favorite is the fourth one down – the black and white. Awesome!

Joan SziroveczAugust 14, 2010 - 12:12 pm

For all you sports fans–take a look at Derek Jeter, shortstop for the Yankees. Eric and Derek could be brothers they look so much alike. With Kate’s black hair, she looks like a young Liz Taylor. Of course I’m partial to Eric and Kate. They are family.

OMG! I just saw this. You have been a busy little blogger! I couldn’t wait to see these and you didn’t disappoint. I love the fair photos! The ferris wheel ones are my favorites. Those and the corn dog bite. I would love to see a close up of your face in that picture of you and all of your equipment. You are such a trooper braving the County Fair AND the rides! Eric and Kate are going to love these! PS..who does Eric look like? I’ve never been able to pin point it, but I know he reminds me of somebody.

HeatherAugust 13, 2010 - 10:18 pm

As a blog stalker, just wanted to tell you Bobbi that I totally have a girl crush on you. The images you and Mike take speak for themselves. Your sense of humor, warm spirit and loving nature shine through in every post that you write. If you do a workshop or travel to Charlotte, NC, I am totally there! As you walk through life, know that your words touch people (and not in a creepy way and your images inspire!

Loving you guys!

TracyAugust 13, 2010 - 7:37 pm

NikiAugust 13, 2010 - 5:33 pm

RaquelAugust 13, 2010 - 4:20 pm

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THESE!!!!! How fun was it to shoot at the fair?!?!?!? I wish I had a couple I could talk into it for the KY state fair in a couple o’ weeks! Seriously, you nailed this!

Hannah TaylorAugust 13, 2010 - 3:30 pm

StefanieAugust 13, 2010 - 3:06 pm

Lisa SchererAugust 13, 2010 - 2:51 pm

The locations were amazing! And the images are of course freakin awesome. But I have to say…I am quite excited that there is a town out there called “Schererville”
We will have to take a family vacation there.

Absolutely LOVING the fair shots! But I’m also in love with the shot of them lying on the brick patio/street…lovely!! And famous actor – no clue, but then again, I’m not good at that game. HA!

MattAugust 13, 2010 - 2:21 pm

AMAZING!

nicoleAugust 13, 2010 - 1:54 pm

I’ve been dying to see these ever since Kate told me you guys were shooting at the fair!! Love them!

gailAugust 13, 2010 - 1:12 pm

I’m stumped on the famous person. Maybeeee Javier Bardiem? But he’s too wholesome and American good looking for that

I am SOO loving the fair flair. You guys rocked that scene out and then some. I adore that setting.

And ewwww to the butter. That’s disgusting!

fotogenicoAugust 13, 2010 - 1:06 pm

love your images. wanted to say it long time ago.

JillaynaAugust 13, 2010 - 1:05 pm

You didn’t say what famous person you think he looks like!? I cant think of anything….

Jeramy FreckletonAugust 13, 2010 - 1:04 pm

These were amazing. I have always wanted to do some pics at a fair–love them all!! BTW–which famous person do you think he looks like–I couldn’t see it–sorry!:)
