A Love Story



For some reason I was thinking of this book today and thought, hmm...wonder if I still have that.  Turns out, I did....and it still makes me laugh.  Anyway seeing as how it's valentine's day, I thought a tribute to what might be the best wedding gift of all time was in order.






wasn't I a lovely bride?

I am smiling!!!


cannon portrait lense:  $500
Hand me down cowboy shirt: free
Doug's face: priceless

  Obviously getting them to look at the camera is only half the battle...

Baby Presley


This first picture turned out so great - what a lucky fluke to catch a week old baby smiling on camera - - perhaps there's a modeling career in her future.  As you can tell I'm really into the added photoshop effects these days....what can I say - I guess I just think they are more fun to look at.  I would have something interesting and witty to say, however at this juncture I feel the lack of sleep is draining my will to live...or at least my will to captivate an audience.

Wedding Pictures




There are only a handful of people I have met in my life that actually fit the description of "cute."  This bride is the embodiment of it.  When she told me her wedding was in the gym of the church, at night I thought, well hot dang, none of your pictures will turn out.  Fortunately I was wrong.  In fact I think some of them might be among my best work.  "toot, toot"  (that's me, tooting my own horn because let's face it, someone has too.)  I had hoped to get a few shots outdoors but it was not only freezing out but also raining off and on that day.  Speaking of which, can anyone tell why rain on your wedding day is ironic?  I've often wondered.   Okay, not often just whenever I hear a certain stupid song from the mid 90s.







 This one is perhaps my favorite shot.  Can I just say that I love the portrait lens for so many reasons....if only it could zoom....and just think for a mere $1,000 I could get one....

The bride belongs to a dance company that treated us to a flash mob.  Best performance at any wedding I've ever been to.  Usually it's only mildly entertaining and fun for the immediate family, but these guys were good. Or maybe I'm just biased because they danced to Michael Jackson's "Bad"




A special thanks to pinterest for all the scrabble idea.  I only pretend to be creative and "with it."
