Moo Cards

So the other day while I was taking pictures at Sammie's 5th Birthday party, I had a lot of parents come up to me telling me that they loved her pictures and did I have a card? Um, no. What I did have was a little NY Giants notepad where I scribbled my number, email address and website in hurried chicken scratch. Totally not what I would call professional. I felt like I was playing photographer. Like I was given a camera, told to point at something and shoot. I still feel like that half the time, but that is neither her nor there. The point is that I needed to get cards and quick. Did I ever!

I have to give complete credit to my girl Lissette who suggested Moo Cards for their super cute cards. I went ahead and decided to rock the MiniCards because I'm not a fan of the standard sized cards and, really, let's face it, I'm not a standard kind of person. I was looking for something that would capture my attention as well as the attention of potential clients. I also needed something that said, "Hey, I'm not a creepy person with a camera. I might actually know what I'm doing."

Enough with the lollygagging! Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

Here's a closeup:

They come with this nifty little box that's just too cute!

So what do you think? Awesome, right? Leave your thoughts in the comments and whether you think I'll be, in the words of MC Hammer, TOO LEGIT TO QUIT.

What's Awesome? Scott's Halloween Costume

I know that Halloween was Saturday but I still can't get over how absolutely hilarious my buddy Scott looked in his costume. He was supposed to be Kurt Rambis and I think he looked the part:

Here he is getting his Hamlet on:

Two Years Ago Today...

Two years ago today I married the love of my life...

That morning I woke up to the sound of wind and rain. My mom and dad were already in the kitchen working on the food. I remember walking out of my room and saying, "Well, I guess the wedding's going to be inside."

I still get choked up when I start to think about the people who made the trek to the Outer Banks for our wedding or those who helped us move an entire wedding indoors thanks to that pesky tropical storm that erased the beach for the day. All of it: the crazy storm, seeing my friends from high school sitting with Mike's grandparents, looking over and seeing only faces of people that we cared about--no obligations, no judgements--made walking down that aisle towards Mike all the sweeter. We knew that the people there with us were there to support the promises we made to each other, not just on that day, but for as long as we stay married, which by my estimation will be um, forever.

Our marriage works because of the love and support we have from our families and friends. And not just starting the day we got married but from the very beginning--10 years ago this April.

I couldn't ask for a better person to share my life with. He has so many wonderful qualities that make me love him but if I had to pick just one is that he makes me laugh. It's the type of laughter that comes from the inside and makes everything better.

Happy anniversary,my honey.

Halloween Roundup

So Halloween was a blast. My buddies Adiene, Joe, Andrea and Alain really outdid themselves this year. The place looked amazing and everyone wore the coolest costumes. I, of course, spent the night taking pictures. I tried to keep from using flash because it would take away from the look and feel of the place. I can't begin to describe how cool the house looked with the severed body parts, lights in the cieling, skulls, you name it. They even had a tv on to look like it does when the cable cuts out. Extra creepy.

Joe, Alain, Tony and two other guys dressed up as the dudes from Super Troopers. They looked great.

There was a penis and my buddy Scott was Kurt Rambis some basketball player. He looked so creepy. He rocked a crazy mustache. Everyone outdid themselves.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures. I took close to 300. Some came out blurry but I'm still learning how to use this lens. Because its not a full fame camera, the automatic focus doesn't work and it was dark as all get out. Either way, I think some of these came out cool.

Here is one of me and Mike in our costumes:

There are so many great pictures of that night. Here are two more that I just love. The first one is of Bobby and Mike--the two wolverines--jumping on the trampoline. I tried it and it so did not work out for me. The moment I get the picture of me attempting to jump the trampoline, I will post it. It's hilarious. The second picture is of me and my awesome costume. I loved that thing.

How was your halloween? Did you have fun? See any cool costumes?
