Amy
We were so excited when Amy contacted us for some "Farewell Dubai" portraits. We've gotten to know Amy through our softball friends, and she is the loveliest person! My favorite memory of Amy was when we attended a mutual friend's bachelorette party- well, I attended, Amy hosted! And let me tell you, she was the hostess with the mostest! This girl went all out! The party had a flapper theme and when the guests arrived, Amy was ready with strings of pearls, hand-made feather hairpieces, and the cutest pill box filled with gum and advil (what a smart gift for a bachelorette party!) for each of us. I was so impressed with Amy's creativity, and desire to make things beautiful! As we wandered through sun-streaked alleys and strolled on the beach during our photo session, Amy talked about her future plans. Ready for her next adventure, Amy is preparing to move back to the States and do something different. Exactly what that is, she is not completely sure... perhaps consulting, perhaps opening a bakery... Amy considered each possibility with a dimpled smile. What a lucky lady- the world is her oyster! Whichever field Amy chooses to pursue, there is no doubt in our minds she will be very, very successful! All the best to you and your future adventures, Amy!!!

Struckmeier Family
I love how summer is a time for togetherness. The warm sun and family picnics act as a magnet, and dispersed family members all find their way home to enjoy the company of their loved ones. Our Aunt Janell was thrilled to have all her kids and grand kids home at the same time this summer! We were able to snag a few portraits for them during our Summer 2010 Albaugh Family get-together.
These two just crack me up!

LaRoccas... La mia famiglia!
This summer we spent a week in New York for a teaching convention. We were thrilled to be able to spend a few days of our trip out in Long Island with my brother Mark, and his family. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment with these guys... collecting sea glass on the beach, velvety wine and cheery sunflowers at the vineyard, Mark's incredible grill-master skills, Isaac's wrestling matches with the boys, and of course, the new york pizza! We managed to pull the camera out for a few minutes just before the sun set one evening...
Jake's cool duct tape glasses =)
I just love this little wild man look he has going on... popsicle stains and all!
It's possible Aunt Jenni was just a little enamored with Jake!
And I couldn't leave out sweet sweet Foxy!
Love you guys! Hope we will get to see you again soon! xoxo

Kelli and Adam
Aw, Kelli and Adam. I've tried to put this post up on several occasions already, and every time I see these images I turn into a big sappy mush pile. This photo session (which turned into two, thanks to rapidly fading light on the first evening) was a goodbye gift for our friends who left Dubai last summer and moved to Tunisia. Kelli and I taught grade 2 together, and I still miss her terribly! Selfishly, I wish they hadn't left, but I'm so thrilled that they're continuing on such an exciting life adventure together. And, we now have a perfect excuse to visit Tunis!
We attempted to drive out to Bab al Shams for the photo session, but after one wrong turn, we lost so much time getting back on track that we wouldn't have enough light to shoot once we arrived. That scenario is so typical with Dubai roads! So, we decided to head back into town and go to Madinat. In the end, that worked out perfectly! With some pleading and serious puppy eyes, we were able to convince the guard to let us onto the private hotel beach for 20 minutes. After our sandy expedition we enjoyed a delicious dinner together.
Several days later we made it to Bab al Shams. It was a gorgeous afternoon!
Doesn't Kelli know how to rock those gorgeous flowing dresses?!
Hehehe... Adam's prized image of the day! He may or may not have been reprimanded by one of the resort's staff...
On the way back into town we stopped near some dunes for some images with the couples beloved car, Snowball=)
Love and miss you guys to pieces!!!
