Bikes, Blues, and BBQ

Two years ago, this was just a thing that happened here in NW Arkansas. I really didn’t think much of it, and was slightly annoyed by it (this is Becky, BTW ) Two years ago, we had a new baby and headed down this Fayetteville festival with some friends to hang out and watch the Motorbikes roar by. A mean looking Motorcycle dude walked over to us in his all leather biker get-up, (complete with leather chaps) and then in a husky voice asked ” Can I see you little baby?” With some hesitation and a bit of fear of saying no, we let him peek at her. He then melted into a pile of sweet, cooing gentle Grandpappy. Go figure.

Last year, Jonathan bought a Motorbike. Last year we went to BBB, and this year, we made it an annual tradition. I’m not sure how I feel about this new sub-culture I’m suddenly a part of, but I do know, I will not be wearing leather chaps anytime soon.

Biker info: This is the 3rd largest Rally in the US! Amazing!

NonBiker info: Don’t go to Fayetteville the first weekend in October, you will just get mad.

Here are some photos I took along the way… Enjoy!

Yes, I HAD to wear the tallest boots I owned. I didn’t want to look like a total poser.

This is our bike, and by ours I mean Jonathan’s. I can’t ride it, and I don’t want to.

If you have never been BBB on Dixon street, here is a peek at what they do. They ride up and down Dixon, rev their engines until you experience pain, then drive around and do it again. For hours. Every night. And as much as I don’t want to admit it. I kind of enjoy it. I know, what has happened to me?! I should see someone about that.

Aww, look the Easter Bunny!

The constant rumble kept the decibel meter at a 95. This is without gratuitus engine revving.

Oh look, Santa! Guess this is his plan B transport if Global warning keeps up.

No, this is NOT Jonathan. Just some college kid who had a few too many. Glad to know he wouldn’t be on the road.

Most of these folks, are really fun though, and not the meanie biker gang type that they have often been mistaken to be. Although I think she may have a glow-stick addiction.

My ears are ringing and my lungs are full of smoke and exhaust. Time to hit the road. See ya, BBB!

Portraits from 2010

Hey Everyone!

We have had a whirlwind of 2011 so far, with a Wedding in Northern Ireland, New Years in Paris, and then inches upon inches of snow, we have struggled to get our feet on the ground. Enough excuses. I thought I’d do a post with some of our fave portraits from 2010. We LOVE our clients, and have enjoyed photographing them all!

Thanks for a wonderful year!

Banjo’s & Dandilions

It’s Spring, it’s green, and it makes me sooo happy! Seriously, I loved that it snowed and all, but I need the spring. I’m sure many of you feel this way. I know soon it will give way to the sauna-like heat of the South, but right now, it’s amazing. This weekend is the Dogwood festival, which is like Spring-kick-off here in Siloam. But before all the craziness hits, it is nice to see this man relaxing and playing banjo in the park. Wonder what his story is. Maybe I’ll get up enough gumption to go ask him. There is just something so classic small town, yet big city-ish about him. You know? It makes sense to me anyway.haha.

So here are couple pics I took today. Just for kicks…

Snow Fun

We love the SNOW! The kids loved the snow… that is until they touched it and realized it was cold… After a few times and some bundling up, they were able to endure the cold and had a ton of fun!

Foggy morning

There was lot of fog this morning , so I (Jonathan) headed out to get some shots of the dreary & cool day. I love the muted tones when this kind of weather happens, it makes everything look eerie and mysterious. Let me know what you think…
