In our neighborhood there is a park about every 50 yards.... I'm not exaggerating! Some times I will drive by them super duper fast and see a handful of kids swinging their little hearts out. And other times I will take my time driving by them because I feel guilty for going 50mph in a 15 zone. Either way I always notice the swings. What is it about a swing that can take all your troubles away? One of my bestest friends use to work with us in our office (she is a videographer), when ever she needed a second to breath or think she would head over to the sand box and jump on a swing. Well yesterday I did the same thing. Let me tell you that there are very few times as an adult I have stopped, breathed, and taken a moment to swing. -It really did bring everything into perspective- Mark thinks swings are not that profound and that the reason why everyone likes them is because they are a kids version of a huge adrenaline rush and a time to test your skills. Well "what ever"! The point is swings are a great opportunity to stop, breath, and take a moment to relax. I encourage everyone to jump on a swing today!
A few days ago we were able to rock an awesome shoot with Tina and Chadd! I met Tina through my little sister (who's not so little any more). Well when I got word that Chadd and Tina were engaged I got so excited thinking about the possibilities of shooting their wedding! They are both such awesome people! They have been together since high school and you can tell that they are more than perfect for each other! We will be shooting their wedding in Vegas this December and we are way to excited... I want it to be December right now :)
here are some of our favorites.

I can’t say enough how much I love the tilt-shift shots, it’s such an identifying aspect of all of these photographs, think it adds such an artistic touch! Love them, favorite by far is the bubble gum blowing shot
Camille Elise 06/2/2009
these are pretty much the best engagement photos EVER!!
The bubble gum shot is sweet and the leaking barrels is money!
..and the rest are pretty amazing as well…just the blending of those bright colors is really interesting and intriguing!
I’d love to film their wedding in Vegas!

[...] Tina and Chadd got married right before Christmas in Vegas! Tina is one of my sisters bestest friends, so when Tina asked us to be apart of her wedding we were more than excited! Tina and Chadd have been dating since high shcool (like Mark and I) and they are so perfect for eachother. We got to hang out with them a few times before they tied the knot so we know they are going to more then happy together as man and wife. Here are just a few of our favorite photos [...]
