I should be hauled off to jail by now for the amount of parking tickets Mark and I manage to get (please note my sarcasm if you are a new client checking us out :)! Just yesterday we got two and last week we I got one.... But in my defense this is what is happening. In our neighborhood the street sweeping sign states that the streets get cleaned every 1st and 3rd wednesday of the month between 8:00am and 12:00am. Well, they are big fat liars! Sometimes they come after 12:00, other times they come on the 2nd wednesday of the month, and every once in a while they do not come at all! Its so annoying and extremely frustrating when I start to pre-budget in an extra $100 a month for the parking tickets. I have told a few friends about this (the Boutwells) and they suggest we take each ticket to court. But in all honesty, we do not have an extra 5 hours a week to put together case after case to fight each ticket. So now I am forced to park in random spots every wednesday in fear that I might get a parking ticket. Its really lame and I needed someone to express my ongoing frustration with.

Now deep breath, ahhhhh..... here is a couple that is brings a smile to my face. Jamie and Jared contacted us last month. They were already married but wanted to rock a day after session (which we love when people do this). They are both so sweet and you can tell that their marriage is as solid as a rock. The emotion and laughter we were able to catch was so sweet and genuine. It makes my day every time Mark Brooke Photographers get to be apart of a rad couples life. Here are just a few of our favorite photos :)
