I feel like I was just writing our January Instagram roundup…. Man oh man this month FLEW by!

I just realized I never wrote my 2012 goals. But, before I do that, I’d like to re-cap on our 2011 goals…

• get in the best shape of my life before I turn 30 (bobbi).
• play recreational sports (mike).
• go on a REAL vacation, just for us.
• spend more time living, less time working.
• buy a house.
• take more personal photos.
• start a bobbi+mike workshop.
• be amazing godparents to Addison and August Rose.
• have more parties 😀

I’d say we had a pretty successful 2011!

[br] [br] Alright, now onto this year’s goals. The theme for 2012: more! 😀

• Shoot more
• Blog more
• Worry less
• Work more efficiently
• Work normal hours
• Develop more Bobbi Shop amazingness
• Update the bbmk website ( ! )
• Spend more time with friends
• Spend more time with family
• Travel to Kansas City more often
• Make our home more ours
• Lose 20 more lbs
• Work out more regularly
• Eat more vegetables
• Drink more water

Soooo… I think that about sums it up! Here’s hoping our 2012 list is as crossed off as our 2011 list was!

Sending good vibes and high fives your way!

Love…

While in Vegas, we held a few private consults 😀

Meet Laura and Jeromy… a ridiculously-in-love husband and wife photo team based in Louisiana. 🙂

They were curious to see how we interacted with people during a session… so, in the midst of the consult, we headed outside and took a quick walk around our hotel.

…and by quick I mean that these images were taken in about 15-ish minutes.
They’ve been married for 9 years… together for 14. The love, respect and trust they have for each other is obvious… if you’ve ever been in the same room with these two, you know exactly what I mean!They’re from Southern Louisiana. 😀 Jeromy has a pretty killer cajun accent to prove it! I’d never heard anything like it before and found it fascinating. If you don’t know what it sounds like, do a YouTube search… It’s a combination of mostly French and English with African and Indian mixed in too (errr…. That’s what google told me…..). 🙂Oh, I haven’t mentioned yet… the have five children. FIVE! The latest… twins! 😀 Right at the very end of the quickie session, I had this kooky idea to really show their size difference. 😀 You see, he’s 6′ and strong…. while she’s 5′ and oh so petite. I said, “Laura, can you hang on to Jeromy like a backpack… hiding your face?” She did it perfectly! Then I said to Jeromy, “Look at me like… you know… my backpack’s hotter than your backpack… you gotta problem with that?!” And BOOM! Our favorite ❗ + ❓ Good work Team Reaux!
Then I walked up closer, “Laura, I want you to give me the ‘What?! You have a problem with hot backpacks?!! Bring it…’ ”  I seriously couldn’t stop laughing about this! Actually, I’m still not done laughing about it! HAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Thanks you two for playing along with my silliness!
