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.

Academy SkatePark

For about the past month now, myself and a few friends have been hitting the skate park every week and of course I have to bring my camera along. Some of the people that hit this place are extremely talented. This weekend the Gatorade Free Ride Tour will be there and of course so will I with camera in hand. Here's a little bit of what happens there.



This is the half pipe all the way in the back.


This is the front half



There is some cool graffiti all around too.

All in all this was a good time, with good people, and there are many fun adventures to come.

PS. stay tuned for more pics from this couples awesome engagement shoot!!!!

Miss. LeeAnn

Jay and I love when our friends call us up and say something to the effect of, "what are you doing tonight, because I have an idea for a photo shoot!" And when it comes to some of our fun and crazy friends that could mean just about anything!

Well that is just what LeeAnn did on Wednesday afternoon and as soon as I got out of work. Jay and I got our gear together and headed over to the beach to meet up with her anxious to see what we were going to be in for.

And since Jay and I have been spending a lot of time at the skate parks photographing she wanted to try a different take on the skater idea so she got some clothes borrowed Jay's skateboard and we had some fun!









Thanks Lee we had such a great time and look forward to trying out some of your other ideas... (especially since you told me about a few but don't worry my lips are sealed!) Stay tuned for Jay's take on the evenings events!

Frankie!

You have all met our super loveable dog Frankie and at the Henriques household Frankie is considered more like a son. He has his own toys, his own bedroom and pretty much gets whatever he wants. However he has one habit that absolutely drives me nuts. Frankie loves socks. I mean LOVES them. It is like he searches them out and then you hear him tip toe back to his room with his prize in tow and tries to rip them apart.
But Frankie isn't the only part of the problem since we know that he loves them we try to hide the socks and Jay likes to hide the socks on the couch and on his desk and of course Frankie only sees that as a challenge and nonetheless after some stealth 007 maneuvers generally ends up with socks!! Anyway last night I was able to catch the sneaky ninja like dog with his prize and I just had to share it with you guys and gals!
