Bridal Party Redefined

My friend Robin celebrated the 11th anniversary of her 29th birthday yesterday with an awesome bash at the Lafayette Club. The theme: all the women wore their wedding dresses.

The team doctor found all the teeth in the grass after the game... and sent him off to the dentist with his teeth in a ziplock.

Self Portrait

I got some new flash equipement yesterday that I couldn't wait to test out, and I didn't have a gullible kid model handy to experiment on, so I put the self timer to work...
