Family ties

Hooray for family! A couple weeks back I got to spend some time with my cousins before we went into the depths of Southwest Missouri for some camping. Enter stage left: Robin, Pat, Cassie & Greyson. Robin & Pat are super creative folks, real kids at heart. Pat just opened an ice cream place called "Ice Scream" to express his love of creepy horror stuff & specialty creepy candy. (I can't vouch for the gooey eye balls, but the ice cream is delicious!) Between running an art gallery, art camp, a haunted house, a theatre, turing an old factory into a really sweet home & raising 2 beautiful kidos... I don't know they do it! Basically, they rock! They were really fun to work with and I think the photos turned out awesome! Hope you enjoy them!

I just love those curls!!



"Don't tell my folks, but..."


showin' off his sweet ride















Cassie is quite the dancer. Greyson can't help but try and do what big sister is doing. He still falls down a lot, but he's getting it. I think he's more of a mosh pit kinda guy anyhow. :)

When a photographer's brother gets married...

I got the GREAT pleasure of working with Matt & Paulette Griswold last weekend. It was Matt's lil brother Mike's turn to tie the knot to the oh so cute Crystal. It was sooo much fun, Mike & Crystal are really laid back and since, well, this is what we all do for a living, they were like... just do your thing, you are the pros. Nice. Good things happen when artists get the green light. :D Yeah, so not only was it great working with Paulette and photographing the snot out of Matt, their families were SUPER DUPER nice & had me feeling like a guest by the end of the night. Ah, good times. Hope you are enjoying the photos in their new spiffy size & new spiffy centered alignment!

Awe.... look at the love








This awesome photobooth is actually Matt's! [kissers & face making children sold seperatelly]







This is my new best friend Jack. He is awesome. The pic on the right is him drawing ME! Yeah, we're cool like that.








This one was just too adorable. Not fans of Tequila as it turns out.[yuck, me neither]

There were SOOO many gem's of Matt... but this is my fav.[Coke endorsement what?]

And the ever ready to model Paulette, fabulous as always.

Photo Contest Friday!

And the winner of this week's contest for "9" is.....

STEPH HODGE!!

[Not the actress of Yes Man, but the photographer one]

Yeah, I couldn't pick either Steph, so here are the 2 favorites. [I'm a sucker for cheesy photos, what can I say.]Congrats!

So remember the week contest 2 weeks ago, evidence of man? Well while camping with my family they started joking... "evidence of Charly, evidence of beer, evidence of moquettes..." It got me thinking that not only should XY be represented, but XX. so this week's theme is....

Purses down, camera bags up... get out there and go all CSI on this mission!

You red my mind...

This shoot for Bobby & Terri from many, many weeks ago now somehow slipped through the blogging cracks! Ah! (maybe cause they are ALL over the new website I'm working on so I FELT like, S U R E L Y I'd put them all over my blog too!) Well not to worry, without further ado, the fabulous, amazing, patient & beautiful Tallman Family!!!

I LOVE this one! Way to go Devin!

How cool is their house?! Backdrops need not apply.

3rd times a charm!

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I first started taking photos of Andy & Katie! They greet me with a big hug & instantly Katie starts with "Come on Jovee!" wanting to show me some new toy or drawing or game they've invented. They have so much energy & it's definitely a day to skip the gym, but it is always worth it when you're able to capture their awesome little personalities. This year they got really into it & I eventually had to say, ok, no more pictures! It was really hard to narrow down my favorites, so I just stopped trying. Here are tons of awesome pictures of an awesome family!
