Ready, Set, Strike a Pose

Hey everyone we are famous.... Jay and I made it on to the super fabulous Carla Ten Eyck Blog.... How awsomely cool is that!?!?!?!
Why you might ask well just a short while ago Jay and I did our incredibly fun engagement shoot with Carla and Mike!!!! And let me tell you they kicked photographic a$$... I am totally thrilled with how our pictures came out and I am thrilled to share them all with you so go and check out her blog!!! And stay tuned for our wedding pictures September 6th!!!

Its actually a lot of fun being on the other side of the camera and experiencing what a client goes through at an engagement session and then the daily anticipation of when the photos will be posted.. It was a new and fun experience and I can not wait to see what genius will come out of the camera on September 6th!!!

John and Kate

No, no its not who you think this couple was truly heaven made. I actually found a poem that I think describes there relationship better than my words ever could.

Fathers and Daughters by Heather Joy

The bond between father and daughter happens instantly, starting right at birth,
When a father first lays eyes on his little girl he loves her more than anything on this earth,
When a daughter grows older her father is the first man she will love,
The bond between father and daughter is the most important bond indeed,
A daughter will always have the memories of her father, her best friend
This bond has a beginning, but there is never an end.
The bond between a father and daughter is so profound
The love shared is well renowned,
From the beginning of his daughters life, he is a changed man,
At that moment his life really just began.
From the moment their eyes meet,
two souls instantly become complete.

Look at these two, how perfect are they!

Little Kate working on strengthening those walking legs

Rapid fire photos, got to love all those faces!

I loved this picture of cousin Jonathan, Grandma and Kate they all look like they are having so much fun!

Of course we had to get a shot of Grandpa and Kate!

The entourage trying to get Kate to look at us and not the pretty animals!!

The gator was sooo cute, that I just had to snag an up close and personal shot!

Sometimes the cutest pictures are when you capture that moment when a little one is thinking I am really not sure about sitting on this gator thing!

So the Beardsley zoo actually lets the peacocks run wild and it was so cool that when the peacock looked at it self in a window he got defensive and put up his beautiful feathers and I was so happy to be able to capture it!

Love Kate's cute face here!

Thanks John for letting Jay and I spend some of you most precious of moments with you and your beautiful little girl.

Gatorade Free Flow Tour

A few weeks ago Jay and I ventured over to Academy Skate Park to photograph the Gatorade Free Flow Tour and let me tell you a skate competition is way different then a portrait sitting and far from what you would ever expect at a wedding! But we took it all in and had the best time. Here are a few of my shots from the day... Stay tuned for Jay's shots of the event! And for more information on the Gatorade Free Flow Tour check out the website.
