SWEEEEEEET!
Mikey’s fave! ❓
And this photo is one of my MANY favorites! ❗
… and another favorite… ❗ I JUST LOVE the look in her eyes here.
I want to make this a canvas in MY house. Is that weird?
“Whatsa happenin’ hot stuff” NAME THAT MOVIE!
ANOTHER favorite! ❗
Rebecca-Linh needed a photo for her website. We made it happen. 🙂 HELLO! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!
If I were you… 🙂 I would use THIS one for the site. It shows us who you are PERFECTLY! 🙂 LOVE IT!
HOUSTON, Texas. Rebecca-Linh is one of the MAIN reasons we started planning our trip to Texas. Right after we photographed Sarah and Henry’s Halloween wedding there, she saw that we traveled there. She emailed us soon after and said, “hey, if you’re ever back… we want YOU to take OUR photo” Well, Rebecca-Linh is SUPER talented photographer, so we REALLY wanted to make it happen! She emailed us a couple of times, jokingly… “so, is your trip for Texas planned yet?” 😀 THEN, on Facebook, we got an inquiry from someone who wanted college senior portraits… who also lived in TEXAS (that eventually fell through)! So, I thought… let’s just put it out there on the blog and see if we get any bites. And we did! SOOOO…. A HUUUUUUGE thanks to Rebecca-Linh for motivating us to go to warmer climates! We seriously cannot WAIT to go back. We’re already planning a trip for there in February 09 🙂 I’m not sure if you noticed that all of the photos are in color 🙂 Well… here’s why 😀 Rebecca-Linh wrote about US on HER blog about a month ago, and here is what she wrote: “About 6 months ago while perusing I stumbled across this dynamic duo via their blog to be completely awestruck while my vision on photographer turned completely upside down. At the time, I was just returning back into the photo community after taking some baby time off, and relocating from California to Texas. Up until then, though I shot in color, most (like 99.9% ) of my work was black and white. I was perfectly fine with that until I saw bobbi and mike’s amazing sense of color and well, they had me at hello. “HOW CAN I DO THAT??: Is what I wondered for months. I just had never really considered color and then all of sudden became completely intrigued. Not only do they completely rock- they have this amazing uniqueness, as well as sense of humor to boot. (Well, at least from what I gather… ) So- a personal thank you to you two (if you read this) for helping me find the art of color. Without you even knowing it, you have changed the world of photography in me.” WOWZERS!!!!! WHAT A COMPLIMENT!!!!! 😀 So… anyway… maybe THAT explains all of that color you see 🙂 Rebecca-Linh is SO incredibly sweet and spunky. Mike (her Mike 😀 ) is funny, laid back and a go-with-the-flow kinda guy. Together, they’re perfect. 🙂 He’s a chef. Seriously… a CHEF! An ooh la la chef at that! 🙂 He offered to cook us a healthy lunch and it was INCREDIBLY hard to say no to… but, we had to leave for another shoot (that was eventually canceled due to a rain out 🙁 ). Wanna hear how they met? I love the “how they met” stories… and this one is good! 🙂 Mike moved to Los Angeles, California to work at an amazing restaurant. Rebecca-Linh is FROM California, but moved to LA to follow her dream of being a Hollywood stunt woman. (HOW COOL IS THAT, BY THE WAY?!). He was a sous chef and she was the waitress at the aforementioned amazing restaurant. … and well… you get the idea 😀 Seriously…. a STUNT WOMAN! I asked, “How the heck do you get into that?!” She responded, “I was an acrobat and a gymnast.” Man oh man, that’s so neat. So, they moved back to Texas, where Mike is from 🙂 It’s funny how love changes your whoooooooole plan 🙂 (That’s why I’m in Indiana and not my HOME Kansas City, Mo… I found my Mikey!). Rebecca-Linh and Mike, I’m incredibly grateful and honored that you chose us to photo you. 🙂 It was great to finally meet the sweetness behind the blog comments. I can’t wait till next year when we get to photograph those kiddies of yours! 😀 So, this entry concludes our trip to Texas. We had six sessions scheduled… (I know… I said we needed eight, but we decided to go for it) WELLL… we had one cancellation and a rain out, which explains why there are only four Texas entries. It’s all good though… because we were refreshed, in warmer climates and met some amazing people. We LOVED it there! So, If you’re interested in setting up something for next February, let us know now so we can decide how many days we’ll be there… the more the better!!!!! 🙂 Oh, and by the way… her first name is “Rebecca-Linh” That’s not a middle or last name combo. Her dad wanted to name her Rebecca and her mom, Linh…. and neither were willing to budge, so they compromised… Rebecca-Linh it was 😀 Pretty cool, huh? LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! ~bobbi+mike ❗ + ❓
Rebecca-Linh commented that her favorite photos on the blog are the ones at the end of the entry of us working 🙂 So… I’m putting up more than usual. 🙂 Though… her opinion might change when it’s HER photo on the blog 😀
Can I just say that that ground was hot and WET?! My hair was a FRIZZZZZ ball in that humidity! However, Rebecca-Linh’s hair was always perfect. How did you get so lucky?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WOOT WOOT WOOT!
This one CRACKS me up! I’m camouflaged down there with my little yellow bag 😀
❗ WE’RE READY TO GO BACK!!!!!!!! ❓
Gasp!! Holy moly, RL, those are worth the “agonizing wait”! Bobbi and Mike the pictures are delightful. They definitely do justice to the funky fun gal that is Rebecca-Linh. You guys have another fan in Texas! 🙂
Great photo’s! I like how in the last photo your purse matches the yellow house!
Sixteen Candles!! Woot!
Duh! Sixteen Candles! ” The donger” said that, right?
Awesome shoot! Man, you photograph so many photographers. (Hello, MAJOR compliment!) I would get an ulcer under the pressure. Hee hee!
; )
These are awesome! Love them all! 🙂
omg!!!!! i am so glad i know this girl!
they are hawt! you did a great job photographing them!
i will SO hire you if you come back to texas.
although, i’m in boring amarillo. so … yeah, have fun with that!
i bet she’s running around the house screaming right now!
lovely job.
and oh yeah! when you live in texas, your hair apparently gets used to the humidity and starts behaving better after awhile. i was down there a few weeks ago and walked away looking like a chia pet. so yeah, i feel ya! and i *too* love the working it shots!
Awwww, R-LR! You look GORGEOUS!! Great job, Bobb!
XOXO, Sarah Q
I agree, so worth the wait–made my eyes water you guys are so cute! And you can totally tell from the photos that you smell good. 😉
Oops, meant to say “Great job Bobb+Mikey!”
🙂
XOXO, Sarah Q
I do not think I have left a comment here before but I stalk the blog often. I am also a photographer (just starting out) from Texas. So I guess next time you come around the Dallas area you can shoot my wife and I. I’ll keep checking to see when you stop by next. These have seriously been some of my favorite photos ya’ll have done so far. Great job!
I just came across your blog as a new photographer starting up in Indy helping my not-so-new photographer mom get more comfortable with the whole digital thing.
And WOW you guys are totally inspiration!!! I am loving your photos and the photos of you working. My friend always call me crazy when I lay on the ground and take photos…I feel normal now!!!
Can’t wait to see more!
Wow what a great story! You guys look like you make your shoots so great. Good stuff!
Was that a crazy awesome 1.2 lens I saw there? Can I say jealous much? If in the middle of the night you found your house broken into and your lens missing you know who the culprit is! 😀
These photos are gorgeous guys and love love love the “one of my many favorites” one. It’s gorgeous and the depth of field, wow. One of your best yet!!!
…question… why do you get palm trees and Cat and I get snow? It’s not fair I tell you!
Hey Bobbi! I love these! This shoot might be my favorite you’ve ever posted. Love the colors! You guys are awesome.
PS. Katie and I are shooting our first wedding later this year. So if you guys need any photo advice, you know who to ask 🙂 Go Sycamores!
Love these pics!!! Rebecca-Linh is spot on with her comments.
ROCK! I LOVE them!
B+M,
This is stunning.
As I blog-stalk other photographers everyday I say to my Google Reader “I can’t keep following this many picture-takers. If you don’t impress me today you’re out.”
Never fear Bobbi+Mike. You BRING IT every time.
What a great location!!! I love ALL the shots!
okay- so I NEVER thought I would be leaving a comment on YOUR blog about ME 😀
I LOVE you two! I hope your awesomeness rubs off on me a little 😉
You guys coming out all this way (and enduring this lovely humidity) is so appreciated and I look forward to playing again!
This go-round– I am SPEECHLESS. We now have photos we can treasure forever.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! your guys ROCK!
xoxoxox,
rebecca-linh and mike
What a beautiful couple. I really like the first one and the one you said should go on her website. As always great photos!
Okay, so I have to have some of me and Jake too. YOU ROCK at these woman. I’m SO JEALOUS OF HER. You two are an incredible team. MEOW!
Whass happin hot sstuff!! 16 Candles Rocks!!
Long Duck Dong! *bong*
What is that thingamagig on mikes camera?
Once again, Bobbi and Mike offer and give PERFECTION!!! Loved all the pixs! Also, glad that you two got to “get away” from the cold weather in Indy.
It is such a huge compliment (and reflection on how AWESOME you guys are) that so many photogs want you to photograph them!! CAN’T WAIT until our turn. 🙂
Beautiful shoot, and beautiful couple!
They’re all just amazing. Love the great location! Made for some fabulous pictures!! 🙂
I was waiting for these photos! After shortly finding Rebecca Linh’s blog, I found yours through her. I have to agree with her that the color in your photos is awesome! I do take most in color, but I do love black and white too. However, I love sepia colored photos even more then b/w! I always feel it gives a little extra warmth to the photo that b/w doesn’t. Hmm if I had to pick one favorite….well that’s hard to do! They are all great! I really like the first photo, the composition is great! I like the one of them kissing by the truck because of the angle, it isn’t mushy, mushy. I have a hard time hanging photos of us in the living area if we are kissing in a photo, but at an angle like that, I think is awesome to hang anywhere! And I could definitely hang the one that you want to hang in your living room in my living room too. I feel warmth from that photo. I don’t find it weird, but I guess I’m weird so you should probably ask someone else. 😉 Plus I love shoes, so that could be why I love that photo too. I love the ones with the yellow building/house in the background too! Ahh, and the ones with you and Mike in them are great too! It is awesome to see you guys laying on the ground and climbing to great heights to get that one of a kind photo. Something I’m going to be doing is trying to look at things from different perspectives too. My son who is almost 5 takes photos with my camera and he always takes stuff that I never think of taking, so simple sometimes, but just great! He definitely has a different perspective on things being that he is 5 too! I think that is why I love your photography sooooooo much, using different perspectives and you guys aren’t afraid to get dirty either. I’ve always said creativity is messy, but never really thought much about it (until now) being messy with photography unless you are in the darkroom!? Well anyhow I love your work and I’m always looking forward to seeing more of it! Have a great weekend!
I agree with everything Rebecca-Linh said about you (especially on color + sense of humor)!
Nice strong images, no wonder Rebecca loves you guys!
Seriously, though.
Just look at that unbelievable color.

I love the one of them by the palm. It’s so sweet looking. 🙂
You guys are the best.

Wow, just wow!!! Amazing photos as always. I’ve been looking at your site for some time now. What do I have to do to get you to come to NJ?
Bobbi Michelle,
Your color comes natural to you. After all you were always my “Little Crayola Girl”. What a great shoot. You continue to impress me.
Love,
Momba
Love ’em! My fav is the first – I love how wrapped up they are together – romantic!
Amazing clarity and color – it looks like you were stuck with some flat overcast light, and you guys WORKED it! Pop without too much contrast – gorgeous work!
Holy comments batman!! Apparently I’m the last one to see this post- ha!
The light here is different… and then I realized.. of course it’s different – it’s Texas! 😉
Congratulations on your refreshing trip to Texas and to escaping the cold and flu plague! I’ll see your skinnier ass in Vegas!
I absolutely love your angles. Second one rocks!
