Class of 2010: Emily
/I first met Emily a couple of years ago after shooting her brother Spencer's senior photos. I can't believe how fast time flies and how grown up Emily is now! Crazy! Here, she rocks her magic on the soccer ball. Go Emily!
Class of 2010: Liz
/The weather, in its ever-lasting attempt to thwart our fun-filled photo adventures,couldn't keep Liz and I from having a great time!
Class of 2010: Madeline
/This girl is a charmer. :) Her dad is an opera teacher at the university. Yes. Opera. Right here in good ol' Lincoln, Nebraska. They often spend their summers in Italy in pursuit of operatic (is that a word?) studies. How cool is that?
I love this! It seems to capture her energy and spunk with a dash of silliness..... :)
So glad to know/work with you guys! Thank you for choosing KaBloom Studios for your senior photos! :)
Class of 2010: Claire
/Claire! What a treat. This girl was sweet, beautiful, smart.... the whole package. A total doll. Thanks for choosing KaBloom Studios for your senior photography Claire! :)
She reminds me of the beautiful Kate Winslet in this image, no?
Seriously! Robin G., are you seeing this???? :)
Great job Claire! :)
Class of 2010: Katie
/The fun continues! Katie brought her stylish self to my studio for these gems. Way to rock it girlfriend! :)
Class of 2010: Hannah
/Hannah came all the way from Norfolk for her photos. The weather cooperated (just barely!) and we had a rockin' good time! I love the look on her face in this image...
Class of 2010: McKenzie
/Is this young lady a beauty, or what? And while we're at it.... where are all these lil' darlings getting such gorgeous skin? Curious minds want to know! What's your secret gals? :)
I love this purple dress.... you wear it well McKenzie!
Cover material!
Holla!!!!! Two cheers for yellow umbrellas!
Another fave!
McKenzie, not only are you darling (and your mom Jill is a riot!), but you're also incredible patient. Thanks for understanding! Enjoy!
Diving Doggies!
/My friend and under-water shooting guru Brooke Mayo has a new book available called "Diving Doggies: A Celebration of Play Underwater." Cool stuff! I've known Brooke for a few years now and love her work, especially her underwater imagery. Having attempted to shoot underwater myself, I can fully appreciate the enormous amount of set-up, effort and expense involved with capturing such playful and imaginative images (all while wearing a weight belt and trying not to get water up your nose-- Ha!). Impressive to say the least!
AsukaBook Webinar Resources: InDesign for AsukaBook
/I've created this book in both InDesign (for myself) and... under duress.... in Photoshop (by request for other photogs who are self-proclaimed InDesign virgins and wanted my designs in Photoshop format). I'm just happy I lived to tell the tale! :) I can't stress enough the importance of learning how to use InDesign in conjunction with Photoshop. They are two fabulous programs... each with their own specific purpose. There is a reason they both exist. Neither one fares well on its own.... but together? They're best friends. A truly dynamic duo!
Here are the links for the resource files I created especially for the AsukaBook "Ask the Expert" webinar series. I hope you find them helpful! (I'm quite fond of the pdf.... so if you like it, I'd love to hear about it!) Enjoy!
For the curious souls who want to see my Alphabet Book design in its entirety, it's here!
Down the Aisle: Bob + Kim
/Beautiful. Elegant. Sophisticated. Bob + Kim's wedding was all of those things, and more!
If J Crew was a woman who had a wedding, this would've been it! Kim's *beautiful* dress was from the J Crew Bridal Line. As were the shoes...
I *LOVE* this!
and even the socks! :)
Once everyone was ready, it was off to the ceremony site! The event was held at Wilderness Ridge in Lincoln. This lovely image is courtesy of Emir!
Classic!
Kim was *the* epitome of beauty..... her eyes redefined 'sparkling.'
L.O.V.E.
This cracks me up. I'm still not sure what it was he thought he had on the bottom of his shoe.... but I love this image. :)
Quick! Grab a seat, don't be late! (image courtesy of Emir!)
Emir captured this image of Kim and her dad making their grand entrance....
These two are best friends. Truly. Best. Friends. It shows.
I think I laughed out loud with the officiant said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife" and before you could blink, Kim shouted, "Yay!" and jumped to Bob for their first kiss. Too cute!
Bob's post-ceremony happy dance
Is it just me or should these lovely people all be on the cover of something special? Or perhaps a movie poster? A romantic-comedy, of course!
Here the ladies are indulging my silly request. Aren't they darling? I love it!
Boys being boys....
Of course, it came as no surprise that the reception was also stunning....
Bob and Kim danced to "La Vie en Rose." This is another Emir jewel!
Let the craziness begin!
Here's a couple of the guys doing their best impression of the 'Call on Me' music video. If you haven't seen it.... go now! (errr... after you finish enjoying the eye candy in this post... ;)
So much fun! I just love you guys! Thank you for including Emir and I in your wedding celebration..... we wish you much love, health and happiness!
