Lars' original name was Diamond due to his black marking on his schnoz, but boy, does he LOVE to eat. His appetite is the size of Texas. (da da dah bum...thank you, I'll be here all night.) Therefore my girlfriend's husband decided Lardball was a better fit. Not wishing "Lardball" on any of her enemies, especially this lil' romeo, my friend shortened it to a more sophisticated and fitting "Lars."
Thankfully, the cat doesn't seem to have any identity issues and is still as charming as ever. At night, he would come to each friend's bed for a quickie of, er, petting and then skedaddle to the next friend's bed for another session. Such a player!!
Lars, I already miss you.

(03.17.10 @ 04:21 PM)Kristin and Tim met me the day after Tim proposed to Kristin. Kristin's dad had surprised the couple with tickets to a bridal show and they won the free engagement session with me through a raffle. I think I was the lucky one to get to work with such an easy-going couple willing to brave the cold.
It was such a pleasure working with you, Kristin and Tim. Congrats!!

(03.11.10 @ 12:04 AM)Normally I get jealous when I see shots from photographers living in California, but this set shows we can use our Northern weather and light and still come out with awesome shoots! Sadly I've never been to Chicago, but shots like (2) and (4) really take me there. well done!
