Lucy's Birthday at Black Bear Saloon

Since the weather turned out to be pretty bad, a previously scheduled engagement session was postponed. I was invited by Lucy and family to her birthday party at Black Bear Saloon this past Saturday and of course had to bring my camera with me!

Lucy actually turned 39 – I previously posted 40 and – well – I made a mistake! I had a great time, so much so, I only expected to be there a couple hours and ended up staying until about 1:30 in the morning. The band, Full Circle was an awesome cover band, be sure to check out their site.

One of the many shots of Lucy during the evening!

Here you can see what a great time Lucy and her husband Tony-not-Anthony-unless-you-are-my-mom are having!

Lucy with some of her friends after they were doing a little shoe swapping!

Lucy’s sister Claudia just looking great as usual!

Lucy didn’t have time to introduce me to all of her friends and family, but I did manage to get a group shot in…

Actually I didn’t realize how big this place was when I first walked in, it’s pretty huge.

I had a great time and thanks again for the invite!

Christmas Eve '08

Okay, I have been living in this condo complex since January of 2005, and have some really terrific neighbors, I’m pretty sure they think I’m a nut most of the time, especially every Christmas Eve.

Each year my neighbor directly next to me and across the hall from her have their families over, my neighbor usually invites me over for some food and such, this year was no exception. I usually wind up heading over there around 9ish or so with camera in hand!

I’ll be honest, I have never heard someone describe in such detail what they wanted to do with my camera if I took a pic of them, I was quite impressed with the thoroughness and foresight this very lovely lady had!!!

Here are a few images from last night…

I wasn’t exactly sure what this was until today – its a gigantic rice crispy treat!!!

Brian, my neighbors son – he really is not a mad man, although he does resemble one here!

Brian’s cousin Jess – she brought over a huge pile of cookies, I asked her if she made them in her easy-bake (she’s young!) – her mom said yea she started cooking them last spring!

Brian’s niece “CK” – since I am not sure on how to spell her first name nor whether it begins with a C or a K, CK will suffice!

I’m not exactly sure who this guy is, his name is either Tim or Sean but definitely is Peg Bundy’s son – he has lots of aliases!

CK caught snoozing – with one eye open!

This guy was out cold, but he had a smile on his face – I wonder what he was dreaming of? Perhaps that Santa Claus was going to be treating him well in the morning!

A very rowdy bunch for sure, specially the last two

Just a Gathering

Rick O — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:57:00 +0000

So last weekend was pretty busy photo-wise and on Sunday I was invited over to a friends house who was having a little get together as his daughter was up visiting from Florida for a few days. I decided to go, and of course had my gear with me as I knew there would be an opportunity for some great snaps.

Below is the lovely Miss Julianna who happens to be the first grand child of the guy who invited me over! She is so gosh darn beautiful!

This shot was great because of the high-profile individual in the photo, you can see that he is being protected by the secret service (grandpa of the little girl above!)

I didn’t even realize I took this picture, this here is the secret service agents son – who happens to be the father of Miss Julianna! When I saw this image it struck me – he looks like an ex-Abercrombie model in desperate need of work (just kidding Jeff)

Finally one more shot of Miss Julianna – she actually was feeding the dog and she was so darn ecstatic to have someone there her size..
