VIBRANT IMAGES COMIN’ ATCHYA!!!

Have you ever heard the name Sheridan as a first name? I know I haven’t but I’m in LOVE with it! For those of you who don’t know, that’s my last name… 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.:!:My view…
…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 

Danielle and Sheridan, thank you thank you THANK YOU for helping make our 4th workshop such a great experience for both us and the attendees. You two were PERFECTO!:D

Indianapolis, Ind.

Wedding  ::  June 2, 2012  ::  Columbus, Ind.

Together  ::  06.04.08

Engaged  ::  03.17.11

Danielle   ::  Grad Student, Indiana University  ::  Hometown  ::  Greensburg, Ind.

Sheridan  ::   Sales & Operations at Cook Medical  ::  Hometown  ::  Wisner, Neb.

How they met, as told by Danielle ::  ”We were both teaching in the same program in Italy and all the teachers had a training in a little town on the coast. After a day or two, Shay worked up the courage to talk to me. The next day, he went to the director of the program and asked her to place the two of us in the same city.  Thankfully, she did.”

……………………………

 

Loved this group:)
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!

For those who want to be among the first to know when the next workshops will be… be sure to add yourself to the announcement list here.

Much love friends!

EricaDecember 31, 2011 - 4:17 pm

Bobbi, I love seeing your face as you struggle to see the back of your camera when you don’t have enough height! It makes me feel better because I do the same thing. I also carry a step ladder to all my shoots because EVERYONE is taller then me :)

SamDecember 28, 2011 - 10:19 pm

BecDecember 18, 2011 - 11:43 pm

Fantastic photos guys, I love this shoot.
If I lived closer, I’d totally be all over the workshop. Unless you do an Aussie trip ;)

bobbiDecember 16, 2011 - 5:42 pm

Oh my gosh, she looks like Alexis Bledel! {<—- Gilmore Girls fan, here}. Beautiful shots, you guys! Love them! This makes me want to come back to the States to take one of your workshops!

Nichole TaylorDecember 16, 2011 - 1:50 pm

Too many good ones to choose a favourite! And I thought Christina Ricci as well when I first saw Danielle. She looks amazing!! I am so glad I got to be there to see how all these images came to be. Workshop definitely hits my top 5 of 2011!!

AlisonDecember 16, 2011 - 1:24 pm

WOW! I see your Christina Ricci and raise you a Reese Witherspoon when she laughs! Beautiful couple and gorgeous images!

lindsayDecember 16, 2011 - 12:25 pm

The very last one of Danielle looking over her shoulder?! Holy swear words she looks amazing. I also love the picture where you likely said something inappropriate. Apparently Kellie, Stephanie, and myself found it hilarious ;) Love all of these. Love this couple. LOVE bb+mk. LOVEEEEEEED this workshop. Tear, I miss you guys!!! ;)

CherronDecember 16, 2011 - 12:15 pm

Here is the last family session of 2011, and it couldn’t have ended more beautifully.  If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you already now this team… as this is the third time we’ve photo’d them. The first time was 3.5 years ago, then again 2 years ago. Now… here they are, still the perfect family.:)
These kids have grown a TON in the last two years… I was a little overwhelmed when they popped out of their car.  My favorite thing about this image? Look at the way Travis and Hughes are standing. SAME/SAME!I’m absolutely in love with this family. How could I not be?!Clary and Travis, hang these next three on your wall, in a series. k? k. Or… just hang this one as a HUGE canvas in your living room. Either way will be fine.;)In the midst of processing these images I sent Clary a message, “I just got a little emotional while processing the images from your session… we’ve all come a long way in three years! Thanks for asking us to photograph your perfect family, it’s a huge honor. Huge!”  I, from the bottom of my heart, could not be more honored that a photographer who is as talented as Clary asks us to photograph her family.  It’s, to this day, one of my favorite accomplishments.
During the session, we were walking around an area we had never been as Clary is describing all of the things around. I jokingly respond, “It doesn’t matter to me, we could photograph your perfect little family in a parking lot!” And a few minutes later these next two images happened… in a parking lot…;)I sneak peeked this image on our Facebook page. Soon after I got an email from Clary, “I’m crying at my computer. One day she’ll be all grown up and as much as I can’t wait for that, on the other hand I want to keep her at this age where she fits in my lap and wants to leave carrots for Santa’s reindeer and randomly dances to songs anywhere we go. Now I have it captured. Thank you.” …and then I teared up too. It’s one of my favorite family photos of all time.:!:I love you guys.

Clary ::  hometown: Edwardsville, Ill.  ::  Photographer

Travis ::  hometown: Edwardsville, Ill.  ::  Civil Engineer

Hughes ::  6 years old  ::  05.04.05

How they met, as told by Clary ::  ”We met in Junior High while playing characters in ‘Tied to the Tracks.’ He told my best friend he liked me and when she let me know; my words were… ‘If I ever date Travis Pfeiffer shoot me!’ #humblepie”

………………………

The obligatory crazy self portrait on a reflective surface.:)Mike asked Hughes to be his big helper. He was happy to help and took that job (as you can clearly see) very seriously. Though, big helper or not… you still have to hold someone’s hand when crossing the street.:)Jettie requested a photo with me… and then my heart burst into a zillion pieces.:D“But of course, I’d love a photo with you!” Photo taken by Clary.Right after taking that photo with the arrow, I look behind me and see THIS happening!
…which is a far cry from the same scenario 3 years ago! Regardless of his awkwardness back then you can tell how much she’s always adored him…:D

Much love friends!

Jen HughesDecember 16, 2011 - 9:26 am

Oh they are such a cute family! I am a fan of Hughes as a first name obviously, which is weird considering there’s a Sheridan in your last post! :)

michele dysonDecember 15, 2011 - 7:35 pm

perhaps my fave to date. This session is UNbelievable, and has me seriously considering flyling to you from up in B.C….you two have SO many die-hard fans, and deserve each and every one of them. LOVE!

MarissaDecember 15, 2011 - 1:17 pm

Love it!! Such an adorable family! And yours and Jettie’s dimples match in the picture you took together…it’s so cute! :)

sasha farinaDecember 15, 2011 - 9:14 am

Holy bananas! They are all stunning! What a beautiful family and they are such wonderful people too. Great job B+M!!

Kathy PfeifferDecember 13, 2011 - 1:12 am

Bobbi & Mike,
I know you don’t know me, but I feel like I know you. I am Trav’s mom, and I just have to tell you that you did an absolutely amazing job with these pictures!!!! Each one is better than the next, and I love the way you captured the very spirit of the day. For example, the pictures of Jettie and Mike, I can almost hear Jettie laughing. A truly wonderful job!!

jodieDecember 13, 2011 - 12:06 am

Oh Clary! Your family is so beautiful! This is why I’m having YOU capture US this summer! :) Bobbi/Mike… these are great. So so great. I’m dying for something like this of my own little chickens!

Angi DavisDecember 12, 2011 - 10:29 pm

As a mother, this post made my day. Simply beautiful!

pamelaDecember 12, 2011 - 10:18 pm

wow…what an amazing set of images. That mamma daughter shot KILLS me! Just beautiful!

Stephanie StewartDecember 12, 2011 - 8:38 pm

Favorite family session ever! I still remember their last one, and thought it was adorable! But this one, this one is just, something about it…can’t put into words. Love their smiles, their SHOES!, and their connect. Well done!

KurtisDecember 12, 2011 - 6:06 pm

Ahhh, you two make me smile with your photos!

Dennis BullockDecember 12, 2011 - 5:58 pm

LOVE it guys!

RhondaDecember 12, 2011 - 5:46 pm

I remember Clary and Travis from MANY years ago when I was engaged.. i’m thinking they were on the knot… can’t remember exactly. but i always love seeing your photos of them!

StacyDecember 12, 2011 - 4:17 pm

What a beautiful family.
And Clary, way to rock those shoes! They’re awesome. :)

bobbiDecember 12, 2011 - 4:00 pm

Stephanie, nope… no flash. :)

StephanieDecember 12, 2011 - 3:13 pm

Bobbi & mike, quick photog question: did you use flash for any of these photos? Specifically the ones of them seated on the couch. The subjects looks so perfectly lit. It’s probably because you guys rock your exposure so hard. Regardless, I’d love to know!

angel canaryDecember 12, 2011 - 3:13 pm

love love love these!!!!!

gailDecember 12, 2011 - 2:59 pm

Oh Clary, I have SUCH a crush on your family, right down to Jettie’s little yellow tights! These are WONDERFUL!!!! It doesn’t seem possible that “we” (B&M fans) have been following all of you for the past 3 years but, in that unique way that Bobbi and Mike both have, they have made so many of us feel connected to YOU. One of these days, we really ARE going to meet up in person. So I can pay you the compliments in person that I’ll keep heapin’ on you online — like, how I want to raid your wardrobe, for starters :)

Shefali LindseyDecember 12, 2011 - 2:58 pm

Beautiful, beautiful family!!!

K.CDecember 12, 2011 - 2:36 pm

Incredible photos….I love them all and what a cute family!

Emily A.December 12, 2011 - 2:07 pm

Bobbi and Mike, these are SO amazing! It is so obvious how much you care about the them and they for you in these shots. So much love is pouring out of them that it makes me teary (and I’ve only met Clary in person once!). Amazing job!

Laura MDecember 12, 2011 - 2:03 pm

So very cute! *in love* Just, really, wow.

Brit @ Landlocked BrideDecember 12, 2011 - 1:54 pm

cherronDecember 12, 2011 - 1:30 pm

These are BEAUTIFUL! What a fun little family. And such style, too, I adore their clothes. The photos of Mike and Jettie (what a cool name) are so priceless. So is that face Mike is making from when she is a baby. Every single mommy needs a photo like that with her babies. Every. Single. One.

PamelaDecember 12, 2011 - 1:21 pm

ClaryDecember 12, 2011 - 12:51 pm

And wow to these comments!! You all are so great.

ClaryDecember 12, 2011 - 12:50 pm

All of these images fill my heart to the tippy top with JOY…the one of Travis and I in the parking lot I love more than any picture form our wedding, Jettie and I!!!, Hughes and Daddy standing the same. You and Mike are amazing people and photographers, we are so blessed to know you and have you photograph our family. It is such an honor for US! ps-Jettie is going to die when she sees the pictures of Mike and her.

Lisa SchererDecember 12, 2011 - 12:46 pm

The perfect family to end your year with! I LOVE Clary and was lucky enough to have her photograph my own family last year. They are a beautiful little family…inside and out :)

RyanDecember 12, 2011 - 12:43 pm

As the holder of an unfair amount of “best ever” bbmk images, I must be honest and say I am straight up jealous of this session. Wow, this whole shoot is so strong and the emotions so palpable. Really, really great work.

Kristina ProvinsalDecember 12, 2011 - 12:40 pm

Jeez you guys can do it all! Even families! Love love love these!!!!

StacyDecember 12, 2011 - 12:39 pm

Best session to date! :)

MarisaDecember 12, 2011 - 12:39 pm

Gorgeous! This family is super cute and wicked stylish….so in love with their outfits! The pictures are fantastic and my fav is the one of the mother and daughter because don’t we all wish to have something like this with our mom. You capture love and I love it.

KristinaDecember 12, 2011 - 12:35 pm

Just wonderful!

jesszwoDecember 12, 2011 - 12:33 pm

Wowza!! These are just incredibly precious. Loved every single one! P.S. Clary you are pure hotness, mama!

AlanaDecember 12, 2011 - 12:33 pm

my emotions are always evoked by your work – but I wanted to also let you know that Bobbi, you are looking phenomenal; I hope you feel it too.

WhitneyDecember 12, 2011 - 12:27 pm

I think Mike needs a baby. :)

alyssa paroDecember 12, 2011 - 12:27 pm

bobbi, your humbleness is amazing. and clary – man, she got me with her response to the mother/daughter photo. tears all over the keyboard. ?

Sara TDecember 12, 2011 - 12:21 pm

AHmazing. AHmazing. AHmazing. Beautiful stuff Bobbi&Mike. I adore Clary and her peeps.

Emily PorterDecember 12, 2011 - 12:20 pm

Love you guys & your work. Can’t wait to see your year-end post(s)… the family post from last year inspired me to stop turning away family shoots. :)

richDecember 12, 2011 - 12:13 pm

you guys really know how to bring family sessions to life. so much fun and so amazing!!

ali+charles+james+isabella+evie

I’ve heard many people say that their favorite blog entries of ours are family sessions. Not many things bring me more fulfillment than the end result of a session like this. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to shoot as many as we have in the past because of our crazy year.  We’re really hoping to change that in 2012! Luckily for us, we were able to get our fill right at the end of the season with some really awesome families… and this one is certainly no exception!
My view.…and Mike’s view. By the way… Ali’s pregnant… with TWINS!:DOh, and she’s Australian! Her accent is so charming. With an Australian accent, my name is usually pronounced, “Boobi.”;)A very nice farmer let us photograph on his property… and boy oh boy were we thankful. Are you kidding me with this truck? Awesome… One of our goals when we shoot any kind of session is we want to photograph your “living room self.” By that we mean, the person/family/couple you are, when you’re in your living room when no one is looking. You know, the real you. This image, I think, is exactly that. Our favorite:!:+:?:GAH!!! I LOVE THIS!!!! Evie’s Donald Trump wind blown hair is just icing on the cake!;)

Anna LyndonDecember 9, 2011 - 6:00 pm

I’m one of those – your family posts are my favorite! Mostly because you do such a great job of evoking the real spirit of a family. And with more people come more fun interactions. :)

jesszwoDecember 9, 2011 - 4:49 pm

Perfection. Completely!

Lisa SDecember 9, 2011 - 4:34 pm

These are stunning you two!! That’s it, I am coming back to Indy and you will photograph my family. I want these for my living room!!!

JamieDecember 9, 2011 - 3:08 pm

Stunning. I love that truck. It instantly reminded me of the cover of “Into the Wild”. One of my very favorite movies.

KatieDecember 9, 2011 - 3:03 pm

just perfect!

MeridithDecember 9, 2011 - 3:03 pm

I really love your family sessions too! And I like the “living room self” definition:)

Mindy MooreDecember 9, 2011 - 3:01 pm

i absolutely adore these pics and i absolutely want to own that green truck. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! =)
