Teasers–A Little Bit of Everything

fatmonkeysnapshots — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 05:02:03 +0000

Though I haven’t posted in quite some time, I have definitely been a busy little bee. I’ve been second shooter for a wedding with Chickey of ChickeyPics.com; done a family session as well as a senior session.

Here is a little taste of each of those adventures–

Brandy and Zach’s Wedding

Joe, one of the groomsmen assisting the bride’s son with adjusting his tie

Best man helping the groom with his tie, too….

When Zach first laid eyes on his bride….

Bride and Groom at the altar. Brandy and Zach make the most wonderful couple…

Titalom Family

This session was done the day after the little man’s first birthday…. What a lady.killer.

Big smiles!

Cheeks.For.Days.

What a great looking family–not only attractive–SO fun!!

Spencer — Senior Session

I’ve known Spencer since she was about 7 years old…. She’s been a neighbor for about 9 years and a great friend to my baby sister ever since we moved into the neighborhood.

I can’t believe she’s already a senior in high school…. how much she’s grown!

What a coy smile… she appears to be innocent but I beg to differ.

So grown up!

We totally braved the treacherous tree… not to mention all of the exoskeletons left behind from the cicadas…. GROSS!

The Sacred Have Fallen

A few weeks ago, Chickey and I were asked to shoot these fellows during their show at Davey’s Uptown. You’ll notice that most of the pictures are in black and white… Unfortunately they had red lights on them for most of their performance which was quite frustrating for the photographers — so monochrome seemed to be the way to do it.

Needless to say it was a memorable experience–I had never been privy to the intense atmosphere at a metal show but it was a great time and I look forward to shooting more of these guys in the future!

Baby Kinley Has Arrived!

Here is the full session for your viewing pleasure–

Mr. Ladies Man Cole — Teasers

Meet Cole. 100% ladies man and a flirt to the core.

Almost a big boy 1-year-0ld, mom has decided to capture his ultimate cuteness forever!

This family was so awesome to shoot–they’re beautiful people with kickin personalities. I had a great time on Sunday–I can’t wait to post the rest of our session!

Baby Kinley Teasers!!!

fatmonkeysnapshots — Mon, 23 May 2011 04:38:26 +0000

Welcome baby Kinley!

Chickey and I of chickeypics.com met back up with beautiful Hannah, her husband Brian, and the newest member of the family, baby Kinley.

Here is a snippit into our fun-filled Saturday morning… and a sneak peek of gorgeous baby Kinley.

Get ready for another 18 (or so) years of this, mom!

Baby Kinley expressed her distaste for all of the pictures being taken by shooting us the bird!

What a good looking family, eh?

Dad and both of his girls…

Aunt Jamal…. the very BEST wing-mom ever!!!

More to come of this beautiful family and their new little miracle!

Business Trip or Photographic Excursion? Or Both…

fatmonkeysnapshots — Sat, 21 May 2011 12:40:41 +0000

I recently traveled to Lake of the Ozarks on a business trip this past week. I felt compelled to take my camera (DUH)…

Strangely enough we ended up staying very close to the spot that my girls and I take weekend trips to… Lots of learning, lots of fun… and some great pictures snapped in between.

For my girl, Chickey…

Bagnell Dam!

The lovely and ever-so-classy Shoreland Motel

“Bittersweet Road”

Yep… we really did see this. I’m curious as to what exactly a “Testicle Festival” involves–

On our way out of Jefferson City…

The lady that was in the bathroom thought I must have crawled out from under a rock… She seemed concerned that I was taking pictures of the hand-washing station.

However, how could I not feel totally compelled to take a picture of the MOST automated hand washing-station I’ve ever seen? You don’t even have to take your hands out of the sink to dry them!!!!

MMMMMMM Pineapple Upside Down Cake (n’ ice cream)

I call this “total destruction”–and a nap waiting to happen. It once was chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with broccoli cheese casserole… oh and the pineapple upside down cake too. Needless to say I felt a nap coming on something fierce shortly after finishing this meal.

Hannah Maternity Session

fatmonkeysnapshots — Sat, 07 May 2011 16:49:32 +0000

Chickey of www.chickeypics.com and I did maternity portraits together a few weeks ago….

First–I LOVE working with Chickey we always have SUCH a blast! Not to mention the fact that the Bolecox was there.. and the ever-so-lovely Hannah and baby Kinley (can’t wait for her to get here!!).

Here’s a lovely Sunday afternoon in the park!

Metzger Family

fatmonkeysnapshots — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:10:24 +0000

OK folks… Here is the entire session!!

That is.. approximately 60 of the 350 that I took on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Look at these gorgeous ladies… I just couldn’t help but get carried away.

I hope you enjoy viewing these shots as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Sara, Audrey, Kailey, and Josie… Sunday Afternoon Teasers

fatmonkeysnapshots — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 02:02:46 +0000

I’m sad to announce that my favorite family of models is getting ready to embark on a new chapter in life–in Texas.

So, before they left, they asked to have one more family session with just the girls. We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Antioch Park. The girls were awesome (as always–especially with the enticement of ice cream) and we had a special guest (their nanny) Carrie come join the fun.

Enjoy these few–more to come!

Gravel Traveling and a bunch of Random

fatmonkeysnapshots — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:31:10 +0000

Well… I’ve been lucky enough to get to do a little bit of gravel traveling and have been inspired to just take some pictures–

So here is a little mix of this and that for your viewing pleasure.

Happy Birthday, Beard Little Mustache!

A little game of trouble….
