Happy Birthday D!

Crack a Smile

When it comes to family photos, my mom and brother seem to have the same idea. Keep the sunglasses on, and by all means, don't smile. Its tough convincing either of them that their faces light up with a little grin, but when they do, it makes me really happy. Don't get me wrong, I think my brother looks bad-ass with the aviators on, but for a family photo (which is RARE with us), its nice to see the family baby-blues, and the pearly whites making special guest appearances.

Before the Tofurkey

Started out my Thanksgiving morning with a hot cuppa joe and a slice (or 4) of home made vegan orange blueberry bundt cake. SO good! Even my non-vegan family thought it was yummy (and no, they didn't feed it to my cat or hide it in their napkins when I wasn't looking). Or did they?

Viva Las Vegas!

In September I shot a wedding in sin city at the Palms Hotel. Katy and Ken rented out two super-posh suites for the ceremony and reception. And whether guests were playing pool in the G-Suite or dancing the night away across the hall in the Pink Suite (along side two gorgeous Go-Go Dancers), it was a great wedding bash!

I had such a blast with this couple and their friends and family just made it all the better. Its always so fun shooting people so in love.... and so ready to have fun. From pole dancing, go-go dancers, blow up dolls and a tower of sparkly sugar coated cup cakes... this wedding had it all.

Of course, there were some pics that screamed "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" which I won't share, but there were tons more of people just having the night of their lives. I'm so stoked I was there to capture it all. I've got to admit it was hard not to just drop the camera and start dancing when the song "Gold Digger" started blasting. Its the sacrafice you make as a photographer.

Veteran's Day - Supporting our Troop!

Back in July we did a shoot with Heather. She's engaged to Chris, who's been stationed in Iraq since April and is coming back to the US later this month. As our little way of supporting our troop, we treated Heather to a mini photo shoot so she could send some photos to Chris for his birthday.

To keep Chris close to her heart, she had a special dog-tag engraved with his name and birthstone. She wears it around her neck on a black satin cord; she hasn't told him about it.

Anyway... here are a couple of my favorites from the shoot. The close up of the dog tag wasn't sent to Chris... she didn't want him to see it until he gets back.

Thinking about Veteran's Day this week, we couldn't help but think of Heather and Chris and their time apart. We can't wait for him to come home!

In line with the Halloween theme...

I shot promos for the band The Hollywood Undead back in mid September. They were just released on the band's web site as special bonus material for fans who bought the CD so yay for that! (yes, people still buy CDs)

In case you're wondering... the best part about shooting people wearing masks is you don't have to worry about the blinking. This is a shot of Johnny 3-Tears.... I liked this one the most because I found this cool butterfly mural to shoot in front of. See.... cuz there are butterflies on his mask. Us photographers don't miss anything!

Happy Chocolate day!

Blog-A-Go-Go!

Hey hep cats and kittens!

We decided to start a blog about all the wiz-bang photo shoots we're doing. It's been a busy first year here at Four Eyes. We've shot weddings in Denver, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles and even snapped a few shots at weddings in Savannah and Hawaii. It's been a year full of lovely I-do's and we can't wait for the next.

We're also crazy insane happy that a few of our friends are having same gender weddings. Everyone should be able to find their own special person with whom to share their happily ever after.

Cheers!

Catherine
