Seems like I've been on a blog vacation huh? I know, it's a bummer. But we had an incredible fall this year and we had to cut out the bloggin to keep up with the post production. I've got some really awesome stuff in store to show you guys. I was able to shoot some really amazing weddings this year, and meet some incredible people. I can't wait to tell you all their stories!
In the meantime, I'll ease back into this with a personal post from my two week vacation that ends TODAY! I took two weeks off two do two things. # 1- finish the renovation on the new house we just bought. That went awesome, its all done now and we're really enjoying the house. I'll post some of those HGTV style before and after shots soon.
# 2- We joined my family on an RV trip to Indianapolis. My mom's side is from up north and we haven't been up there for the holidays since Gavin has come along. Not to mention, we were able to get a photo of all 5 generations from great grandpa down to Gavin. It was a great trip. We made fun of our RV lifestyle most of the time, Great Grandpa entertained us on the piano and we ate, alot.
Some random shots from the trip, hope you and yours had a great holiday!
TO LIFE!

So, this summer I had the opportunity to shoot Kyle & Nikki's wedding, which was quite amazing! After getting to know these two during their engagement session, I anticipated how awesome their wedding would be and decided to hire Andrew Smith of Smith Pixels to come along and document the wedding day as well. I've always found it tough to describe how I shoot to potential clients, so I thought it would be much easier to just show them!
I originally wanted to wait to unveil this video with an all new portfolio from this season, but with this home renovation, a full calendar of fall weddings and the many other directions we are going I couldn't wait any longer. Plus I'm sure some of you are wondering if I've still alive with this blogging hiatus I've been on.
This is why I love my job so much. Every weekend I get to be around people who are on cloud 9. We always have a good time, keep it relaxed and make some memories!
Andrew is quite the Jedi with his camera, check it out!
TO LIFE!

I realized the other day that I don't blog personal matters near as much as I once did. Thats a shame, I've just been too busy. So, here's a post to catch you all up on what life has been like for us the past few months. Gavin is almost 7 months old now, which is absolutely crazy. He's got two teeth on bottom that he's deadly accurate with. He's on the virge of crawling, I can see it in his eyes, so close!
I never thought I'd be ready to have a baby. But I guess that comes with time. When he was born, I was ready for a newborn but not a baby. Now, I know I'm not ready to have a toddler type baby, but a 7 month old is just perfect. I guess we'll learn as we go.
Katie is back to teaching full time now. She's so good at her job, it's like she was made for it! Life was great over summer break, but now we're back into our insanely busy schedule until weddings slow down for me in November. Life is hectic sometimes but we love it.
As if we didn't have enough on our plate we fell in love with an old house in a quaint historic neighborhood here in OKC. We thought about it for a couple days and listed our first house just to see what would happen. It sold in two day! So, we're moving! It's always been a dream of ours to rehab a historic house. I even remember talking about it when we were dating in college. So we're doing it! We have alot of work ahead of us, but it'll be a fun journey! As Fall rolls in I always get nostalgic, I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's my favorite time of year. I was thinking about the way life has taken shape for us over the past 2 or 3 years and how awesome it's been. We've done some really big things. We had a baby, took the photography business full time, opened a studio, bought our dream house and made some amazing friends along the way. Life is good. Of course it wouldn't be so without all the amazing couples I've been able to shoot for. It's been absolutely awesome to get to know you all and peek into your lives, I can't say thank you enough for that! And, not to mention our amazing family. We almost moved to California 3 years ago, I can't imagine now what life would be like if we had. We absolutely cherish our family, couldn't live without them!
I'll wrap this up before it gets too sappy. Here are some photobooth shots from The Oklahoma Photobooth Company. We have a monthly art walk in the Plaza District where our studio is located. So every month we have a coinciding party, it's always a blast! Last month Loiuse brought down the photobooth, it was a hit. If you are having a party or wedding reception, you've gotta call her!
I'm headed to Mexico for Scott & Jessica's wedding on Thursday, I'll see you in a week and I'll have an awesome tan!
TO LIFE!
Lauren "Chipman" Keester:

Here's another way back blog post, back in May to be exact. Weird how that seems so long ago when you're at a wedding every weekend. Part of what I love about photographing wedding days is the way you feel like you've learned so much about a family after only spending a few hours with them. Theres so many emotions and small dynamics of people that come out on a wedding day, I love to see that. This wedding was a perfect example. Tommy and Lindsey are such a sweet couple, their family and friends were so warm and inviting. I even got a couple hugs, can't argue with that! I was honored to be a part of it!
Cool moment with Lindsey and her Dad, Tony....
TO LIFE YALL!

it made me happy to scroll through these. the shots of your g-g-pa and gavin are priceless. glad you got to enjoy some good time with your family.
(11.29.09)AWERSOME. If anyone doesn't think the arch shots are amazing... they aren't human.
(11.29.09)Seriously. Crying. So precious. I hope beyond hope G-pa Wayne will be alive whenever the future Zoch child arrives!
(11.29.09)It was a pretty amazing experience, I hope with you!
(11.29.09)So glad that you shared. First, you are just crazy-talented. Second, you clearly had a pretty special holiday excursion...even if it WAS in an RV! Gavin is a little hottie in the making.
(11.29.09)Those are some purty neat photos there, Clark. That's a lovely family you have there.
(11.29.09)Life captured well!
