Prom night 08

These are the days.....

Youth, beauty, and the excitement of prom night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to capture some pre-prom excitement for some Marquette Seniors. To say they looked amazing was an understatement. Thanks to my senior rep and her mom for giving me the opportunity to tag along for such a unique session!

Sheesh, I'm sure my friends and I did NOT look this good in High School (my apologies to my friends who may be reading this....ok, I'm sure you all looked this good, but I know I didn't!)
Happy Prom Class of '08!

I should have the rest up tomorrow afternoon.

My new favorite session

Ok, it really is true that all of my sessions are my favorites. And I really do mean it when I say it, but this session was creatively one of my favorites to date. I had the luxury of hanging out with Emma and her mom, who not only humored all of my whims, but helped find really neat spots. This was one of those sessions where the three of us clicked on almost every level, and they were willing to put up with every whim that I had.

Now to miss Emma. These eyes will knock you out, every time. She's fantastically creative, with a great eye for the artistic, not to mention great taste in music. By the way Emma, I downloaded the album when I got home.....I'm a new fan. Thanks!!

Stunning....seriously takes my breath away. She really is a beauty!

Emma and Lisa, thanks for making me feel like the rock star for a change. This was amazingly fun, and I should have the rest up late, late tonight.

Alex and Courtney sitting in a tree....

OK, more like leaning in a tree, feel free to sing along....K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage....

No I'm not just pointlessly torturing you, this cute pair just had their engagement photos taken for their August wedding. One that I am indeed salivating over for many reasons....Pretty cute couple, don't you think?

WOW. Seriously, WOW. Courtney did her homework and watched America's Next Top Model. I' m thinking of making that a requirement for all of my sessions. She's got the look down. (Don't tell her, but I think it's more to do with the fact that she's just a natural!!)

Congratulations, guys! I can't wait for you to see the rest!!

Smiley at 6 months

Well, Mr. Adam the baby with the biggest smile ever, really made us work for his 6 month session!! I'm sure his mommy and daddy were pooped out when I left....we worked really hard for these grins, and he just wasn't giving them to us! We let him win, came back on a different day, and claimed a victory. Phew. This little guy has been giving me this EXACT smile since the first time I met him, for his newborn pictures. The smile (and fun family) never changes, but boy is he getting big. He'll be playing ball with dad before we know it!!

Do you want to squeeze those cheeks as much as I do??

Thanks big guy (and mom and dad) I'll see you soon!

Babies, babies everywhere!

It seems like every time I turn around lately, I'm getting a phone call that it's time to welcome somebody new into the world. I know, I say I love every session, but there's something so pure and fresh with every new person that makes my newborn sessions so very sweet. Especially when I've gotten to know the family....which is the case with this family. Meet Miss Kate, and her sister Emma. Each had their own agendas the days I visited....but I think they did a great job! Their poor, parents, however, were probably worn out when I left!! *sigh* I just love babies!

Ladies and Gentelman.....start the "I do's"

What a way to kick off my wedding season this past weekend. A small intimate ceremony with one of the most fun couples I've yet to work with, an equally fun wedding party, a fantastic location, and most of all....lots of love!! I just love weddings!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Flynn!!

AAAARGH part 2

Well, my server is back up and running....my email is back up and running....with a fun (not really) twist.

I have lost everything. All contacts, all email addresses, all saved emails. Lovely. It doesn't look like I'll (or the at&t tech people) will be able to retrieve them. So....if you've emailed me in the last day or so....please send it again. And even if you haven't could you email me again, so I can begin to reload all of my lost email contacts?

my email is
gatermannphoto@sbcglobal.net
THANK YOU!!!

AAARGH!!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm having some server/email issues today. If you're trying to email me, or log on to your gallery, you may encounter some problems. Please call if you need me, and hopefully, the galleries will be up soon.

I'm SO, SO sorry!!
