Thanks for the memories

I'd like to take this moment to thank Knight Studio for making my dream come true. Not only did they provide me with beautiful, amazing, awesome photographs of our wedding. But also after three years, they have now put our pictures on their website as a sample of their truly fabulous work. You can see some of our pictures in their Details, Journalism, and 2007 albums (yes, I know chronologically a little off, but I'm not complaining!) You can see our whole wedding album, starting here. Love it!

Here are a few of my favorite wedding pictures, all thanks to the genius Robert Knight (Oh, but these are scans of the original, so you'll just have to take my word that the originals are breathtaking! Any cropping, or discoloration would be my fault!):











Three years later... Where are we now? Well we still love our pictures...

Interestingly, since the day she came home from the hospital, Maddie has been FASCINATED by our wedding pictures. She stares at them constantly.

Unless Dad's home. Then she stares at him.

Still happily ever after. Just less hair -- for one of us anyway.

Fish Nuts: The Grossest Vulgarity There Is

This must be one of those things you can only enjoy if you have at some point in your life have lived in a trailer.

Boiled Peanuts... but in actuality they taste like some sort of soy nut that has been soaked in fish until they rotted.
Here's a close up of Rob's fish nuts.
At first Maddie was excited about sharing this part of her Dad's culture.
Then she got a whiff and changed her mind.

Gotcha!

Apparently the way to capture a smile is with an iPhone! Sadly it also requires having the camera always trained on Maddie just in case a smile occurs and not moving the teeny-tiniest bit.

Mona Lisa Smile

So what have I been doing lately? Trying to catch Maddie's smile on film (or digital media as the case may be). Maddie is smiling all the time now -- except when she sees a camera. She is surprisingly sly with that. So I've been taking lots of pictures attempting to catch one of Maddie's two smiles: simperingly sweet and hugely joyous. Here's the product of my labors:

"Do what now?"

"I'm nervous. What if I don't do it right?"

"I'm a little scared!"

"And a little bored by you."

"I concede. But I will only give a half effort."

And of course my favorites:

"I am so over this."

"I'm done posing for your pictures, and I am not happy with you."
