Ooh .. Ooh .. Ooh .. .... UC!

After a week off, the UC Bearcats came out strong on offense this weekend against Illinois. Tony Pike threw 6 TDs for a school record in the 49-36 Bearcat victory. I had the pleasure yet again to be on the field for CNATI.com. You can check out the full gallery here. Lessons learned during this game? 40 degrees is cold! Handwarmers, Brian! Handwarmers!

Tiffany and Jeremy ... and Brutus

The pictures are done! NOW they're officially engaged. That's how it works, right? Ah, well, probably not. Still, these two were awesome, and Brutus was a kick -- such a show-stealer! Look for their wedding photos from Lacking Focus Photography next summer!

Poor Brutus was overtaken by a sneezing fit here. He must have sneezed 10 times in a row.

Would you just look at these two?

Brutus was occasionally curious about the whole camera "thing."

Bearcats!

So I've recently gotten the opportunity to do some sports photography for CNATI.com, starting with the UC Bearcats game against the WVU Mountaineers last Friday. Most recently, I shot the Bearcats basketball home opener against Prairie View A&M. I had a blast at both sports and can't wait to do more! Be sure to visit CNATI.com often to see more of my work!

Tiffany and Jeremy -- the tease

CI had the pleasure today of working with Tiffany and Jeremy on their engagement photos. We headed out to Eden Park and enjoyed perfect weather for the shoot! They're a fun and beautiful couple. I can't wait to do their wedding next summer. More photos to come!

Sarah and Kyle .... and Pepi

Two weekends ago, I had the pleasure of doing some unique senior portraits for these two. We split it up into two sessions, doing the majority of Sarah's pictures on Sunday during one of her horseriding competitions. She's quite impressive with Pepi, and it's clear the two have a special bond. She also shares a special bond with her boyfriend Kyle (NOT her brother ... Stay up 20 hours working night shift, go to shoot, open mouth, insert foot), who had his shots somewhere in the woods of Indian Hill. Honestly, they led me out into the middle of nowhere and I did fear just a bit for my life, but it was well worth it!

Such the gentleman, Kyle offers to carry Sarah back to the car at then end of the shoot.

They're just too cute together!

The weather was actually perfect for this shoot. As you can see by the mist, it was quite cold, but nobody got a red nose and the colors and lighting were just beautiful!

You can actually see Kyle in the bokeh at the bottom of the hill. It's a pretty shear dropoff behind Sarah, but Kyle made the descent look easy ... never mind the dirt and burrs he ended up covered in.

There's that cold again ...

One of the other girls at the competition. This girl actually had an amazing day and wound up upsetting Sarah for the season title ... but we don't talk about that. She's coming in here to plant the baton in the bucket at the end of her run.

A bonus shot of Pepi. He was thirsty.

Such a curious horse...
