Now… I have a personal blog rule of only posting 15 images for each portrait session. Why? Because I've already blown my bandwidth once… HOWEVER, for this post… the 15 image post rule is OUT THE WINDOW!

BEAUUUUUUTIFUL!

HOT HOT HOT!

The light here was GORGEOUS!

If you guys could have seen the woman behind me as I was taking this photo. I think that in the two minutes we were right here…. I became her best friend. She was a WEIRDO!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THOSE SOCKS?! LOVE IT!

A HUGE thanks to lauren & robbie. for helping me with perfecting the "gray" black and white. I'd been working on it for months. I spent a few days with them three weeks ago and VOILA… I LOVE IT! This photo is one of my favorites

Another example of two COMPLETELY different photos taken at nearly the exact same time… One by Mike and the other by me. Mikey's shot…

…and here's mine. Isn't that cool? I LOVE working with him! He inspires me every day.

Oh, and… CHECK OUT THOSE EYELASHES!!!!!

Melanie wanted to do the jumping shot… She ROCKED IT! Here's Mikey's version…

….and here's mine

Uhm… America's Next Top Model?

I was SO proud of this idea!

….and this one, too! One of my favorites

FAAAAAAVOOOOOORIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!!! This is probably my favorite photo that we've ever taken.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. We've been looking SO forward to shooting Melanie and Adam's engagement session because they're such awesome and talented people. You guys already know about these two from this post. As if you couldn't already tell… this is the much talked about twin of Eric . Because they're pro wedding photographers… we are SO honored that they've chosen us to shoot their wedding. Oh, by the way… we are INCREDIBLY proud of EVERY photo we took! Of course… Melanie and Adam are GORGEOUS… so, that helps Usually photographers don't like to be on the "other end of the lens" However…. these two knew how to work it out! They told us that they were looking forward to the session because they don't have any photos of themselves. Well…. we were happy to help When Melanie and I were emailing back and forth trying to pick a location for their engagement shoot… I suggested something downtown with lots of color, character, graffiti, etc. Well… they found the PERFECTO spots! However, we were well… not in the safest parts of town. Between Melanie walking around in her rainbow socks and me with my ridiculously loud laugh… we certainly weren't blending. By the end of the shoot… when people were asking us what we were doing… I started to tell them they were models. It worked They left us alone. Though, COME ON.. is it really that much of a stretch?! Their wedding is NEXT MONTH and we can't hardly WAIT! ~bobbi+ PS. Hi erin+eric ! PPS. Hey photographers… What do you think of the slight change to our color post processing? And the new "gray" black and white?

wow. ill feel pretty good right now. lol. only you would believe i could make me the next top model! thanks everyone for the compliments! its much easier striking the pose, rather than trying to explain it to your clients. lol.
i didnt think it was possible to be any more excited than i already was, to have our wedding pics done by you guys. YES. we are going to the same location…for sure. damn i picked one HOT husband!! love ya’ll, THANKS, melanie!!

Amy MartinAugust 27, 2007 - 2:58 pm

MollyAugust 27, 2007 - 2:56 pm

Hey, Bobbi, love the new black and white. What are you doing differently?

Jamie DelaineAugust 27, 2007 - 12:39 pm

Um, YEAH, LOVE IT. You guys SO know that this was your best shoot and I’m about to agree. You naillllled it. They look so comfortable in front of the lens and the poses in this shoot are wow. I could write all day, because I’m a terrible summarizer and a rambler but I’ll stop.

Just go buy yourself a venti frap at starbucks with tons of whip cream to celebrate how amazing you are. Sounds good? Do it!

P.S. Are you shooting RAW?

JennyAugust 27, 2007 - 10:15 am

I’ve been fans of you two for ages now and this just confirms it. I didn’t think you could get ANY better and you JUST DID! We’ve gotta meet sometime. I’d have loads to talk about! We could be camera dorks for hours!

Love your new processing. LOVE the Black and White. Beautiful and fun as always!

Dustin StellerAugust 27, 2007 - 8:33 am

Dare I say it? I think this is your best couples shoot yet. I want to go outside, grab a random couple of people and shoot them for three hours, just because I am so inspired right now…at 7 in the morning! Love both of your captures, you guys.

scott neumyerAugust 27, 2007 - 7:41 am

OMG. HOT HOT HOT couple! The first B&W is SOOOOO Film Noir. I heart it.

B…this is the #1 most inspiring and beautiful photo post I’ve probably ever seen. Thanks for that. You rocked it.

BetsyAugust 27, 2007 - 7:34 am

MildredAugust 27, 2007 - 2:15 am

I loved all of the images especially those crazy colored socks. Great Job

BobbieAugust 27, 2007 - 1:23 am

Your new post processing is GREAT…the “gray” black and white is HOT!!! I’m soooo jealous that you have such AWESOME areas with wonderful color and remarkable lighting….I’m still searching in wonderful Rapid City! LOL You two are my heros…

JenAugust 27, 2007 - 1:22 am

Alright, I quit! Out of this world!
