November 2011 Client of the Month
Okay so here is what is the funny story. Kristen and her family were supposed to be the October client of the month. Her original session was scheduled in AUGUST. But, having two very very very active boys, she was always so busy that one reschedule turned into about 10, and I am not going to lie, some of those were on my behalf as well. But, I will say her understanding is what made her a perfect client of the month. We have rescheduled so much that it was actually just comical. But, it was well worth the wait, because it is always a lot of fun to shoot with them and they are very active in their kids lives and that is really what matters.
Both of these growing boys play baseball like nobodies business and Kristen and family spend a lot of time traveling to tournaments and such, so it is always fun to see them when they do have time!
So, funny story is that I had a session with Kristen's sister that was located at the same park a few weeks earlier and no one in their family had even know of this place prior to that shoot. So, we all get there for Kristen's shoot and are walking around this park and I am telling them a somewhat scary story being that this park reminds us all of sleepy hollow. As I pose them all next to this lake covered in lily pads, someone yells Kristen's name and you can tell its clearly her name. So, I maybe pretend not to hear it being I just told a creepy story but, her kids heard it and she and her husband heard it. And Travis mentions it sounds like Kristen's Dad. So, I ignore it still and further along, we hear someone yell out Travis. So, now I am creeped out. And it turns out that Jenny had mentioned the place to their Dad and he just so happened to go check it out on the same day her shoot was scheduled. Had me and Kristen both not been late that day, that whole creepy situation could have been avoided. But, fortunately, we did manage to squeeze in a few shots of her dad with them. See top image above for said image of Dad. So, alls well that ends well.

So, let us all meet the October Client of the Month, you know, now that we are in mid-November. So, meet the Millers! More than most of you know the Millers already I am sure as they are nice and friendly and know alot of you all. So, what is it the makes them client of the month material you may be asking yourself? Well, they are nice. Nice as nice can be, genuinely nice and caring. A family of five, including but not limited to three very, very active boys. The Millers are always there for everyone whether it is with a helping hand or ear to listen. There have been at least three times I can name of hand that Justin has helped out using his mechanical skills to diagnose my car, and fix even my fathers car. And, I am not the only one who thinks that they are awesome because they have been suggested every month since the client of the month started. So, I am very happy to have the Miller family as my October Client of the Month.

One thing that amazes me about Jenny and Justin is that they are so nice and so nice to each other and you see from their pictures that they are still very much in love with each other. They have three boys Luke is the oldest, Seth is the middle child and little Isaac is the baby of the bunch. Their children are very sweet and caring too.
Unobstructed Studios is launching a new campaign to promote optimism in a dismal society. So, we are focusing on a lot of new ideas and concepts that promote the things in life that we are or should be happy and thankful for. And with that I present to you the August 2011 and very first client of the month:
Mandy Hayes!!!Mandy has been a Unobstructed Studios fan and supporter for some time now and we never could get a shoot arrange for one reason or another. So, when we launched the cutest kid contest I made sure that Mandy had a spot for Cameron, her son, is two years old and adorable. I met Mandy and her mother in law Connie for their session at the Starbucks in riverside on a drab and dreary day. Rain was threatening and we were pressed with time because of that but being such a trooper Mandy decided to go with it and we never ended up getting rained on but maybe a few drops.
Cameron did great at his session and looked adorable in his cool yellow attire. After Mandy's session through speaking with her, I realized how much this lady has one her plate. See, Cameron has seizures and up until that point he had been doing fine, seizure free, for about 9 months. About a month after their session Cameron had 2 seizures, one bad enough to land him in the hospital for a few days. I cannot imagine what Mandy and her family must have gone through during that time. But, I can say she is a strong a fighter as her son is. She keep herself positive and even when we talked, she always asked how I was doing and how things were with me. Through all that she was going through she was still aware of the World outside that hospital room. That is the type of person that we need more of. Someone kind hearted and caring. Cameron is doing well now and he is a strong little man. When I approached Mandy to see if she would represent Unobstructed Studios as the August Client of the Month, she was thrilled and we set a date to meet up and get some pictures taken.
As luck would have it, we met up on another drab and dreary day that was threatening rain again. But, the images came out great and Cameron did even better this time around! I couldn't be happier with the resulting images or that Cameron is doing better. It takes a strong person to step outside of themselves and put others before themselves. And that is why Mandy is our client of the month. I hope that she and her family will enjoy the images that were shot as an acknowledgement of her kindness and good spirit.
Have a look below at some highlights from the day.
