heather + rodney {in love}

Meet Heather and Rodney!  Brett and I have known Rodney for years because he went to the same small private high school that we went to.  Heather is a very good friend of one of our favoritest brides ever, Julia.  :)

Funny story….after they got engaged they were hanging out with some family and friends.  One friend was Julia, (our past bride I mentioned) and Rodney’s Mom was there as well.  They were discussing who to use for the upcoming wedding and when photography came up, Julia said, “I have the PERFECT photographer for you guys!!”  Then Rodney’s Mom said to Rodney, “I’ve heard that some people you went to school with have a good photography business….”  After they both took turns discussing why THEIR choice for a photographer was better, they finally figured out they were talking about the same people- US.  :)

For their session we decided to shoot around Newport on the Levee, which has special meaning to them- we love that!

The first few shots we did were in a small alleyway.  Brett, AKA “spiderman” scaled this wall to stand on a ledge (one foot) and piping (other foot).  I swear he does this just to freak me out.

(Bobbi, this one’s for you, because I know you love Brett’s antics.)

We are super excited for your upcoming June wedding!!  It will be so much FUN!!!!

College of Mt. St. Joseph’s {Presidential Inauguration}

Something a little different today for the celebration of our 200th blog post!

In mid-March a local college called, “The College of Mt. St. Joseph” held the inauguration of their 6th college president,  Dr. Anthony J. Aretz, Ph.D.  It was a big ordeal, and we were very honored to have a part in the celebration.

We don’t normally show much of our commercial and editorial work we do, but I thought this would be something fun to show.  Our work made it on the cover of “The Mount News,” (the college’s magazine) and it went out in the mail this week, so I thought this was the perfect time to post.

They had many alumni come back, with a representative for almost each graduating class all the way back to the class of 1938!  Here are the alums getting their appropriate years.

Here are some of the ladies from the earliest graduating classes represented.

This is also the photo that was chosen for the cover of the college’s magazine.  :)  I think it is cute.
