Something Constructive....

Not really;)

.

This is a funny story. Last week our neighbor put his toilet on the curb for big trash day pick up, except Big Trash Day isn't until the end of the month!!! Seriously.... omg we all have to look at this dumb pot for the next two weeks! My husband decided to have a little fun so he stood up a giant tree branch in it. I really wish I would have taken a picture because it was hilarious! OK....Thursday the city cleanup crew were out picking up all the fallen trees and branches....including our lovely toilet tree branch;) Lee and I had to come up with a new plan "after all we have to see this pot for the next 12 days so lets make the most of it" Right?! The lady across the street was having a huge moving sale Friday so we knew there was going to be allot of traffic this weekend.

Here is what we came up with.......Ridiculous...maybe?! However it provoke laughter, fun and honks all day long:)

Last night I did Tyler's senior pictures and I don't think I've ever laughed so much during a session. His mom and brother came along...they were my comic relief for the evening! You guys are the coolest family ever.

Sorry for the pink logo;)

Flushmount Album

Wedding Albums are the final part of the creative process. Capturing great images of your wedding is only the starting point. Putting the images together to tell the unique story of your wedding is an art unto itself.

Here are a few page spreads I designed for Nina & Vlad's wedding album

I recently sent Nina her album preview from their beautiful Dec. wedding. I really put allot of time and effort into designing their album and I hoped they would love it as much as I do, so I was thrilled to receive this sweet & very genuine email. Love you guys! Thank you.

Hi Tracy,
Thanks so much for the preview. I love the album! I seriously cried in my cubicle at work :) We knew when we found you way back in 2005 that you were going to do such a beautiful job capturing our wedding, and you exceeded even our wildest expectations. Thank you for preserving some of the most wonderful moments of our lives for us. You really do have a gift for transferring emotion into great memories. You're seriously one of the best kept secrets in Dayton (although not anymore based on your crazy schedule), and we consider ourselves blessed to have worked with you. Not only that, but you always go way above and beyond the norm for us...thanks for being not only a fantastic photographer, but a real friend.

Abby & Chris....
