Lunch with my bestie

On my way to a workshop for work and stopped in Champaign for lunch with Whit

Oh, bloggie, you're so neglected!

We do apologize!  Our lovely slice of the world has been so eventful & fun, and I forgot to share with you all!

What's new with R&G?

We had our photos taken by Jason & Aurelia Stratton

I upgraded into the world of smart phones (so I should have NO excuse to leave my poor blog unattended for weeks! ;))

We got some amazing new equipment in our studio: OCF (off camera flash) equipment (which will allow us to do some really creative lighting in the future!), a new back up camera (a D300s) and a 60mm micro lens, mmm!

We photographed an incredibly beautiful wedding.  Mrs. Rachel Pedal was one STUNNING bride.  Rachel and I don't just share first names, we also attended the same high school and share lots of old memories.  Congrats to Rachel & Mark and good luck on your venture to Korea!

We were able to take some photo orders for a couple EXTRA SPECIAL people in our life - my 'second' parents (aka: my wonderful in-laws).

I am so, so excited to get their prints framed and up in their new home.  Their home was destroyed back in April by a tornado - see the article by clicking HERE.  The rebuild is going to be a long process - but worth the wait.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your summer - it's flying by!

Oh, and don't forget about our Christmas in July special!!!
