The Twins are back.

Bailey and Houston are 1 year old now. It's hard to believe Brian has been a dad for over a year now. From the looks of these two Brian and Shannon aren't doing too bad of a job either. These two are a blast to shoot especially now that they are fully mobile. You have to catch them quick cause if you don't they are gone!!!!! As is customary here, when the babies turn 1 year old we fill them up with cake (a.k.a. Baby crack) and send them home. No one is sleeping well in that house tonight.

Hallie's Visit.

Hallie came over today for her session and amazingly we showed up too. We took her to Mike and Monica's house (remember them). We had lots of fun, saw a snake, lots of gnats, some dragonflies and got some great shots too. The sun was too bright for those pretty blue eyes so we stayed mostly in the barn...grabbed Dad for a couple of kiss'n shots too. I'm loving what I'm seeing from this shoot and I'm sure you all will too. Thanks again Mike and Monica for letting us raid your place and thanks Hallie for coming over. As always here's a small sample of what we took today.

Maddy.

Erin and Maddy came over today to take some shots in the early evening. We had hoped to get lots of stuff in the wheat fields but the weather came rolling in and an I'm pretty sure Maddy was not wanting to stand in the field any way. Erin is married to my good friend Jeremy and we have been trying to squeeze Maddy in for quite a while now. At any rate we get to scratch her off the list and give her some great stuff to look at the same time.







And we're done!

Ryan and Lindsey do that knot tying thing.....

Pop quiz hot shot! Take 12 hours of nearly continuous shooting, 20 AA batteries, 1 previously fine now non functioning left toe, 4000+ pictures, nearly 20 gigabytes of digital files, a wild, wild, wild party bus ride and a "punch" to the face with a cake filled right jab and what do you get? ....... Stumped? You get one hell of a set of pictures that's what. Ryan and Lindsey...ehmmm...Mr. and Mrs. Sandefur made it official and we had the pleasure of capturing the whole experience for them. Adrienne and I were completely and I mean completely wiped after this event but man was it a BLAST! Ryan and Lindsey are gonna love these when we're finished but until then they (and you all) can enjoy the little sampling below. Thanks again, Ryan and Lindsey, we were honored to have been a part of it all.

A little update.

Even though we haven't posted a portrait session in a while, don't make the mistake of thinking we haven't been busy. We have been working our tails off around here getting orders placed for the softball team pictures took a lot of time. We shot an all day softball event and will be posting the action shots up on the site for purchase. We have a wedding coming up this Saturday and we have started to fill up our schedule of available senior sessions. Oh and I (Dan) have also been able to sleep a couple of hours too :( Anyway, I don't like making you all ready my ramblings without at least giving you some eye candy so, with out further delay, check out one of the magazine covers we did.

Dance Recital Weekend

Big event for the Rowe family this weekend. The annual dance recital for the girls occurred and it had all the typical elements. Little one that didn't want to wear her costume and the big one with a really runny nose. In the end the recital was nothing short of spectacular with little Briley and her on stage antics stealing the show. The stage was brighter than normal and the lights spilled into the first two rows were we were. This resulted in a yell of "there's Mimi" 30 seconds into her routine. The dance at that point was over and Briley's routine was improvised into very animated waving and her Mimi. Absolutely hilarious. I'll post pictures as I edit them keep checking below.

Picture day at the softball field!!!

We started taking the team pictures for the Oakland City Girls Softball League today. Here are a couple that I promised I'd put on the blog. They are from the....wait for it.....AWESOME "ROWE PORTRAIT STUDIOS" U14 team. We had fun working for these girls they definitely live up to the Rowe Portrait Studios reputation with their fun loving attitudes. These won't make the cut so here on the blog is the only place you'll see them. Thanks girls for making the session fun, we had a blast. We still have several teams to go so if we haven't seen you and your team yet...get ready cause we're coming soon!

Wow it's been a while.

We've been busy with lots of different stuff lately and blocked off quite a bit of time away from the studio. We just got back from our family trip to Disney. We stayed at a great place just off of the Disney property and I recommend it to everyone. We had 2 huge units,I think around 1500 sq. feet of space just for the 4 of us. The girls had a total blast (they love them some princesses) and it was nice for Adrienne and I to get away as well. Any way we're back now and getting right back into the swing of things. Softball team pictures start tomorrow and we'll be busy with that as well as some upcoming studio sessions. Young men and women from the class of 2009 are starting to schedule sessions as well. I'm really excited about this year because we have some really kick ass ideas for our seniors this year. So stay tuned and I promise you'll enjoy the show..........

Adrienne's invading Dan's Blog!!!

Christie came over on Sunday with her boyfriend and his sweet little girl kyra. Kyra was pretty easy to shoot and with that gorgeous smile how could anyone go wrong. I appreciate you guys having a lot of patience with me. I think you guys will love these shots!

Ava came over today.

Ava came over today and from what you can see, this little girl needs no help looking cute. Ava's mom and dad are good friends of mine so we've been wanting to do a session with Ava for a while now. Check below to see what we captured....
