Yearly Archives: 2008

So this month=me sleeping in my own bed for a total of 10 nights. Looks like I need to get better at blogging from the road.  Keep your eyes peeled this week as we’re gonna try and get a load of shoots up in the coming days before we depart again.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to meet the lovely and energetic Krause family. Keeping up with little Asher was both a blast as well as a stinkin’ workout! Either way this kid will melt your heart….

On a side note… the winter hockey season starts tonight. Let the Ironmen domination begin.

A few weekends ago we had the marvelous privilege of capturing the one and only Vince+Cheryl. Not only did we get to hang with this awesome duo for an evening, but they were kind enough to pick us up to capture their wedding in Oahu in just over two weeks!

With no further adue…

You guys were such a blast and we can’t wait to see you guys in a few weeks!

A friendly little video announcement from yours truly. For those who don’t watch… just a little FYI reminder that we will be out of town for the next few days w/ Whitney’s work, but will have email, so feel free to fire away. But if you are anxiously awaiting your images, prints, etc., and don’t hear from us by late tonight, we will be getting back to things mid next week.

But check out this little diddy for the latest Brighten special!

Cheers!
Ben+Whitney

What an amazing adventure this was! Not only were all three of these little ones a crazy good time, but they just lit it up in front of the camera. This was quite possibly the best time I have had behind the lens in a very long time. And I make sure to have a good time, every time.

Let’s just put it this way… I turn my head for 5 seconds and the next thing I know the whole family is waist deep, trudging around in a fountain. Perfect.

Oh yeah. That’s right. We are officially open for biz.

And we kicked things off with the incredible Poeschl family. Not only were they an absolute blast, but Clint is Whitney’s boss, so we have to say lots of nice things about them…. 😉 Like…. man, that Clint is soooo good looking. Or something… (this is Ben writing this, by the way… because it would be weird if Whitney said that… really weird.) Moving along…

Grace was such a sweet heart and even drew us a picture to let us know how pumped she was to get her photo taken.

The last few weeks have been a blast as we’ve busted out into the world of family portraits. So if you find yourself wanting to spend a crazy fun afternoon makin’ images that will bring your Christmas card to the “all my friends are jealous of how awesome it is” level… then by all means give us a call. Our pre-xmas calendar is fillin’ quickly!

Check back in the coming days to see a few more examples of some other family goodness! Thanks to the Poeschl’s for a rockin’ time!
