Are You Ready For Winter?

This Boybarian sure is!

Can You Name This Date?

Look at this following picture and think about when this picture was taken. Would it be December of 2008, January 2009, February 2009, March 2009 or even April of 2009?

Nope it wasn't any of those days. That picture was taken this morning October 10th, 2009 here in Iowa (the new North Pole). Can you freakin believe it, we have snow already!


So I woke up and went out to pick up some doughnuts for the Boybarians and I had to clean the van off from all of the snow.

I'm so not ready for this! So does anyone who lives in the South have room for us to move in for the next 7 months? LOL.

Griswald Vacation - Part 1

Well it's about time you get to see some of the pics from our 3,100 mile road trip, huh? Why am I calling it the Griswald vacation, well let's just say the first night I left my credit card at the restaurant and didn't notice until we were 250 miles away. However, it did get better and we all had a really nice time. So here it goes starting with Route 66 in Oklahoma.

Old drive-in movie theater just outside of Oklahoma City.

Route 66 museum in Clinton, Oklahoma.



Conoco station and U Drop Inn in Shamrock, Texas.












Old gas station in McLean, Texas.



One of the original Phillips 66 stations located in McLean, Texas.






Leaning water tower in Britten, Texas.



The Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas.





The vacation pictures will be posted in about six parts. If you are planning a Route 66 vacation, please contact me and I would be glad to answer any questions. Part 2 will cover Texas and New Mexico.

Pumpkin Time!

So yesterday my wife had a family shoot at a beautiful state park nearby. I was kind of in charge of making everyone laugh and smile. I'm sure anyone watching from a far had to be rolling on the ground looking at me do my stunts to get this little pumpkin to look at the camera. Now, I do like to make people laugh and smile however my heart itches to shoot the camera. So here are a few that I snapped away here and there after jumping up in the air kicking my feet and waving my arms with my heartbeating at 500 beats per minute, lol.

Isn't he just the sweetest thing?

Old Town Shootout!

I'll start posting more and more pictures from our 3,100 mile road trip for all of you to see. Everything from steakhouses in Texas to abandoned buildings along Route 66. However, today I'm going to share with you an engagement shoot I did while we were in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The shoot was in Old Town which is a cute area of shops, fabulous restaurants and relaxing area to hangout and watch people (what a great and fun place to shoot).


This is what you get when you mix this beauty.

With this gentleman.


Voila!
















Erin and Ian was such a fun couple to shoot. Not only are they a gorgeous couple, but their personalities and their love for each other is amazing.
