Lincoln Family

We had the best time with the Lincoln Family yesterday (the fam's in town for Mike and Tasha's wedding this weekend - so we took the op to get some family shots). Their interaction with each other was LOADS of fun to capture! We're really looking forward to visiting with these fine folks again this weekends!

Ah, Brother and Sisterly love... takes me back :)

Sarah & Brandon: e-photos

We had an awesome e-session with Brandon & Sarah this last week, and we're really looking forward to their wedding in September! What a b-e-a-u-tiful couple! Stunning really! On this particular day, it was overly sun-shiny (real word :) google it) so we took the opportunity to do some experimenting with light... don't worry, we got the regular solid shots we always get, but had a blast getting creative and working with the sun - reflecting if off of shop windows, shooting right into the intense light, getting some sweet flares all over the place... just throwing all rules out of the window and coming up with some fun and creative imagery! Brandon & Sarah, you guys are fun, romantic and so in love! Thanks for letting us capture those things, and thanks for spending the afternoon with us! We really enjoyed our time together!

Art Book is HERE

The ART BOOK(s) has arrived in all of it's glory. Its sitting in huge boxes waiting for its release date... July 20th - in the evening. The Art Book Reception is going to be sweet! We're going to be highlighting various contributers, displaying the original art pieces from the painters, sculptors, and photographers. We'll also have some open-mic time for the folks who wrote poems and short stories. As well as open-mic for some of the musicians who entered lyrics. Looking forward to celebrating... it took a long time and lot of work to get this puppy done! Facts: 189 pages & 36 featured artists ...

Courtney's Harp Site

Court's Harp Website is up and running (90% complete - just needs some tunes). Next week she will be in the studio recording some music for the site, so look for that in the next couple weeks. Check it out at: www.courtneydchristenson.com

The Belly!

Many of you have been asking for some belly shots of Courtney and "Baby Christenson"... so here's a few shots now that there is somewhat of a belly to show (it's been pretty unnoticeable up until the last 2 weeks). "Sweetness Fact of the Day" is that I (Gary) felt the little baby kicking last night for THE FIRST TIME... unreal! It's actually happening... consider my mind BLOWN! At this point we're pretty confident that "Baby C" is a GIRL. The baby was being very difficult when we were at our last doc appointment trying to find out the gender of the child, so we're waiting a few more weeks and then we'll find out for sure. But we're banking on a beautiful little girl... can't wait... October 26th is the date when craziness happens. Keep us in your prayers.
