Arabesque Academy of Dancing

Most of May found us at the Arabesque Academy of Dancing. We were there to shoot candids of the kids as they had dance class. We also came in to do their class and individual photos. Then, we went to the recital to get some candids there as well.

We love coming into this studio. There is a great group of kids here. We love getting to know them and seeing all of their hard work pay off in the end.

This year, we went a different way with some of the group photos. The instructor's group decided to move outside. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot! Thanks Amy and all the kids for having us! We can't wait to do it again!

More Photo Booth Fun

Maria and Tom booked our photo booth for their wedding. As we were setting up, the guests were all curious as to what we were doing. Once the word got out that there was a photo booth, the excitement started to spread. No sooner did we have the booth up and running, did we have our first visitor.

From the time the booth started until the end of the reception, it ran non-stop. They even had us stay an extra hour, it was such a big hit.

Country lanes Photobooth

Last month we also visited Country Lanes Bowling Alley in Elmhurst, for Photobooth Friday. If you are looking for something to do this summer, check them out! Their pizza is awesome!! I couldn't tell you the last time I bowled. Other than the Wii. Just like I remembered, I sucked. haha. Ed and the kids beat me. But, we had a great time!

Mothers Day and photobooths

Mother's Day took us to the Cabin Cafe in Moscow. We set up our photobooth for the day to give out free photos to their customers. If you haven't been to the Cabin, you really should go visit them.

Joy and Mel are great. They really treat their customers like they are all friends and family, and the food is great!

Bark for Life

Since I posted about being at the Bark for Life, I guess I should blog about the walk. This walk benefits the American Cancer Society and takes place at Nay Aug Park, in May.

This was their second walk, and the dogs doubled this year to over 200! Not only is there a walk, but they have dogs performing obstacle courses, dancing, and doing tricks. There are quite a few vendors there such as kennels, groomers, trainers, as well as us, photographers.

Although it rained while we were there, it did not lessen the crowd. They had a great turnout and raised a lot of money for a great cause!

Thanks to everyone who participated. We all have a story about cancer. Hopefully one day there won't be any more.

Furry friends

While at the Bark for Life last month, we found a great little couch/ pet bed that we had to have. We started talking to the owner and one thing led to another. We decided that we would get some large prints of pets, on the bed that she sells, and hang them in her boutique.

In turn, we sent out a request to all of our facebook fans. Free pet sessions so we can get some prints to hang.

This turned out to be a lot of fun. Especially for me since I got to watch all these dogs drag Ed all over the place. haha.

These images are products of these shoots. We'd like to thank Amy, Sandy, Judy, Gina, and Liz for bringing your furry friends over to help us out.

Cady + Ben Wedding

Cady and Ben were another one of our couples in May. We knew from their engagement session that their wedding was going to be a lot of fun. Cady was probably the most relaxed bride I have ever seen! She just went with the flow. She simply radiated happiness.

They got married at the Shawnee Inn, at the waterfront. The storm clouds held out for us until the reception started. We had done the formals before the ceremony. Cady and Ben were all about having fun and letting their images from the day show how much fun they are.

Bloomsburg Futures Showcase

Every spring FC America heads down to Bloomsburg for their Futures Tounament. This is a showcase tournament The scores don't count as much as they would for a regular tournament. There are no play offs. This is strictly for college scouts to come watch the teams, to look for kids to recruit.

We went down with some of our kids and some kids from another team. The girls didn't get a chance to practice together, since most of them were still doing high school soccer at this time. But, when the girls got on the field for their 8am games they played well together. Especially considering we drove down that morning. We ended the weekend at 1-1-1.

Angelina + Zach Wedding

May has been a super busy month for us; weddings and dance photos. Angelina and Zach kicked off our wedding season this year. We got to know them a little bit through two of our other couples. Zach a little more since he is a regular at the wedding shows that we attend.

Their setting was Marywood College, where they both attended. This was also the scene of their engagement photos. The day was perfect for a wedding, and Angelina was gorgeous! The ceremony was followed by a butterfly release to honor those who have passed and could not be there with them.

We moved on to the Scranton Cultural Center. This is such an amazing building. From the day we booked this wedding, our heads raced with all the possibilities of the ways we could photograph them. We love when our couples let us be creative!
