High five, CJ style...

So, we're kinda geeky (actually, I should say I'm the geek 'cause I convinced Cristi to do this with me) and we discovered a fun way of filming so last night we made a *magical* mini movie. Get ready to watch, now GO!

(This is Cristi - and this is an addendum to Jessi's post. Yes, she DID convince me to do this with her. But, in all honesty, I'm a geek too! :) And this is stop motion - these are actually photographs that we took and then put together to make a "movie." Jessi is convinced this is the next best thing. I guess we shall see!)

This is Jessi again and this is an addendum to Cristi's addendum to my addendummed post. I'd just like to say that I do agree Cristi is also a geek.

Longshore Family!

While these guys were in town from Colorado I got to snap some family photos of them. It was kinda cold but FUN! They're such a CUTE family. Serious, I felt like I was doing a shoot for a magazine! Here are some of my faves from the shoot. Enjoy!

Baby Xander

Isn't he a dream?!

New Stuff!

We've just added another little "extra" feature to our website: flush mount albums! (see below.) You can check out more examples here.

In other words, a "flush mount album" is a coffee table book. And if you don't have a coffee table to put it on, no worries! You could put it on your kitchen table or your turntable or your light stand table or any other table you might have. Heck, you don't need a table--you could even put it on the floor if you wanted. Or even the stove! It's durable enough to withstand anything... except maybe a house fire. So, enjoy your table and your book!

Also, for any wedding package purchased, take 10% off the book!

The "Favorite" Image Is ...

Not only did I keep track of the blog comments and entries in our contest, but I also kept a tally of which pictures got the most votes.

I thought you guys might be interested to see which picture(s) turned out to be the favorite(s)! I know that it was definitely intriguing to Jessi and me!

The image that got the MOST votes was...

Image #20!

It received a total of 29 votes!


Image #7 was a VERY close 2nd

It received 27 votes!


The next highest vote getter was #10

This one got 16 votes


Numbers 21 and 12 both received 13 votes


That rounds out the top 5 images!

Thanks again you guys for all of your participation! And ESPECIALLY for the rockin' comments you left! In fact, since our turnout was SO great and everyone was so SUPPORTIVE and awesome, we decided to do not just ONE free photo shoot, but TWO free shoots!!
