Meet Tod and Ashley!  

Now I must mention again, a dozen or so photographers are all shooting pictures at the same time, so imagine the paparazzi shooting an engagement and you are there!

You know, I luv my blue skies!

Behind the scenes, you’d occasionally see a photographer posing and directing like Stacy below…

One of the problems, when trying for a wide angle shot like below, you had too many photographers in the way…  But that’s okay!

Cuz Jason is more than willing to stand in once everyone moves spots!

Back to those gorgeous blue skies, I loved this one…

And I’ll toss in one SOC (Straight Outta Camera) so that you don’t think it’s all photoshopped.

Did I mention there were a bunch of photographers there?  Sometimes they even were in charge of hair, like Jared below.

Which made it easy to snag pics like this…

and another little behind the scenes look at a few of the photographers in attendance, and my light of course!

It wasn’t all work though, there was plenty of footsie playing and leg rubbing going on, but I can’t tell you who was rubbing on Tod’s leg.

Like I said, I did shoot some available light…

And some light that was available to me…

And a little different light that was available was the mini-frezzi video light…

Afterwards, we even did dinner and you’ll have to try and guess who’s fake birthday resulted in a chicken on their head…

Little Bro

This one took a little setup (I sent him a text and said look here for me)

Doesn’t he look happy to be out in the real world…

The night before we swung by his Fraternity Lodge after some Moe’s Burritos!

And Abby got in a little hoop action

And then she got a little help from Uncle Steve

Even Emily was all smiles at the graduation

Then I have to share a little of Abs personality… taken a split second apart in our hotel room.

Then another of Ems, since Abs had more… Just chillaxin and waitin on some dinner!

Congrats on your Graduation, Hoss!

And of course after all those healthy drinks, this would come in handy (Buy Red when you can)

When used with one of these…

Here’s the cabin in Beavers Bend

Just a stump outside the cabin

A little slow shutter on the moving river

The cool reflection of the trees across the river

The valley from above the dam

Miguelito showing off his beverage of choice

Austin was sick all weekend

Chef Bart (cookie) on the grill

Just in case you don’t catch fish… you gotta bring the turf

Although we caught plenty of surf too

My old roommate Jason, I told them we needed some river shots and they turned into Cabelas models… what can I say?

Justin sporting the page 9 wader pose

Justin and myself (pic from Jason) holding some rainbows

This one cracked me up, they wanted a serious and Justin held it about half a second

Take two on the serious pose

Here’s the whole gang in front of the dam

Abby made out on the Hannah Montana and Disney Princess stuff while I raked in the iTunes gift cards, a GPS so I don’t get lost on the way to your wedding, a whole slew of new duck calls and a new DVD Printer to print all your discs! Abby and Emily got a swing set for their big gift from Santa and brother elf and dad elf helped put together all day Sunday. Anyways, Merry Christmas and enjoy the video of my little toots!

First of all, I am so Thankful for my two lovely little girls!

I’m Thankful I have a lovely wife that understands I live on this computer in my lap! Did I mention she hates her pictures, so I have to sneak them like this…

I’m Thankful for the best family ever, my Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister!

And of course, a big Thanks for great friends! Even more so, the ones below that fed us for weeks after Emily was born. I’ll see if I can remember all the meals…
Stuffed Apples! Yummy

Meatloaf and Chicken Fettucine!

Chicken and some yummy hashbrown stuff!

Some chicken spaghetti that was deelish!

These two brought brownies and Ziti!

The only picture I could find of Alicia was in the background of another pic…

I’m so Thankful for my great Family and Friends and of course the Cowboys winning!

I had to snap a pic of my daughter when she rolled over and the hand print on her face was the shape of a heart. I also decided it was time to show off my germ/smell mask. I can’t count how many times I have washed my hands and sanitized the last few days.
