my HILAAAAAARIOUS jokes NEVER fail!

Doesn’t she look like a big-time folk/country music star in this one?

I was feelin’ wacky!

LOVE THIS ONE!!!! We went into this little spot when this guy yells… “DO NOT TOUCH THE PAINT!!!!!” I was FIVE seconds from showing her the pose she was going to do by leaning on the red… WHEW! That would have been a tragedy. Definitely a favorite!

Ruth is an artist… she brought along these colored pencils to incorporate into one of her photos. You know, like seniors are supposed to.Well, when I talked to her on the phone the day before and asked her what she was bringing… she mentioned the pencils. I got REALLY excited… I LOVED that she brought along the things that I would have at her age. Then came the task of making colored pencils and paint brushes in a photo not be cheesy. I spent the evening brainstorming decheesifying pose ideas… and this is what we came up withI happen to LOVE it

She’s a photographer, tooA Bobbi fave!

HEY PRETTY GIRL!

The neatest alleys and doorways are in Austin… We were in bobbi+mike photo HEAVEN!

See… told ya! This one is Mikey’s favorite

I LOVE her smile!So contagious!

GORGEOUS!!!!

AUSTIN, Texas WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!! How much fun did we have, you ask? A LOT! Ruth is so cool. She was incredibly easy to photograph, can’t you tell?! She has it all… talent, style, beauty, personality, ambition, confidence…. see, told you she had it all!

I asked her how she found our website all the way in Indiana… she said she found us on the Trash the Dress site when we were the photographer of the week, and she’s been following us since. HOW NEAT IS THAT?! She said she “didn’t know wedding photography could be cool.”We certainly try to make it cool!

Her mom came along for the shoot. WE LOVE GWEN! As you guys know, Mikey and I have sort of a quirky photo style… and sometimes moms don’t really get that. HOWEVER, Gwen (her mom) was FULL of REALLY awesome ideas! She even ENCOURAGED our quirkiness!LOVE IT!

Ruth is currently transitioning from being a senior into going to art school… I cannot wait to see where the world of art takes her.

Thanks you two for making the trip down from Fort Worth… we had a blast!

LOVE!

This series is great!! You really captured this girls essence, so much so that you could get to know her just from the photos, and thats AWESOME. Oh, and I am so jealous of that red door!!! That is about the coolest door I have ever seen.

OhMyGosh! I love them! You guys are so awesome, these make me so happy. I can’t tell you how much fun it was, and you totally made me feel confident and beautiful and all that. Yay! Yay! Yay! I look so pretty, I just love it. Now I have to hurry up and get engaged so I can do another one. I’ll say it one more time….

Thanks and I love you guys!

What a cute girl!
My favorite is the one by the red wall.
I don’t know her, but it seems like you captured her so well!

looooove the guitar shot (from the groud)

(should I assume that was Mike? – or did you self sacrifice that?)
xo

Wonderful, as always, Bobbi and Mike! My favorite is the one of her with the guitar, and the view from the camera is looking upwards at her, over the guitar. VERY album-coverish. How fun to photograph someone with all kinds of creative talents!

JoannaFebruary 16, 2008 - 1:46 pm

AHHH I am so mad at myself…look at what I missed out on! hehe.

Maybe next time!

David (Cathy & David Photography)February 16, 2008 - 12:39 pm

Wow Bobster, those are some HOT photos. I love the vertical shot with the guitar. It’s great!

KathyFebruary 16, 2008 - 11:32 am

Bobbi, I usually don’t comment because ALL of your pictures are amazing, but I really love these! I agree with April; you captured her personality. I love the guitar shots and the dueling camera shots especially. I agree; the Austin backdrops look like so much fun!

ChrissieFebruary 16, 2008 - 11:23 am

I’m just starting out in the senior world, and these totally made me excited to look at! Love your style, and how it translates to all different kinds of shoots.

Rock on.

These are awesome (as usual). Aren’t seniors the bomb? Totally dig that red wall shot & the one with the teeny-tiny flower in her hair!

AprilFebruary 16, 2008 - 7:18 am

Bobbi!!! These are amazing! you seem to have captured her personality perfectly – we realy need to get more painted doors in Indy :p
LOL at “yes, he really is that hot”

Jamie DelaineFebruary 16, 2008 - 2:00 am

BetsyFebruary 16, 2008 - 1:31 am
