Ten things about Jo Beth (by Lyndon)

  1. She hates my favorite movie and I don’t care for hers
  2. She likes huge 4x4 trucks
  3. She’s smarter than I am…I always loose at Jeopardy and she’s impossible to beat at board games.
  4. She’s warm and outgoing, while I’m quiet and shy.
  5. She actually likes watching NASCAR and going to races with me!
  6. She’s a Democrat, and I’m a Republican.
  7. She likes driving my truck more than I do.
  8. I like to shoot traditional photography, while she keeps me updated on anything new or cutting edge.
  9. We’re perfect for each other, we’re totally opposite, but we go together JUST RIGHT!!!
  10. I do have the sinking sensation she loves the dog more than me though.

Ten things bout Lyndon (by Jo Beth)

  1. He’s an Aquarius, but swears he acts more like a Capricorn…I disagree.
  2. He plays guitar and sings (kinda)…although you shouldn’t get your hopes up for having him sing at your ceremony.
  3. He owns an extensive collection of toys; hundreds of Hot Wheels, every Nintendo system ever created (including 400 vintage games) and Star Wars toys and models.
  4. He’s sensitive, kind and caring. He’s the world’s greatest housekeeper!!!
  5. He hates going to the dentist, even though I work there P/T/, I have to drag him kicking and screaming to his appointments.
  6. He hates seafood and SWEARS he’s allergic (I know better), but he loves Red Lobster for their chicken and their biscuits.
  7. He secretly thinks I love the dog more than him.
  8. He loves NASCAR so much that we have to plan our lives and vacations around race schedules. His favorite drivers are: Kevin Harvick and Juan Pablo Montoya.
  9. Lyndon adores animals, in the 5 years we’ve been married, we’ve had: 5 cats, one dog, one evil bunny and two fire-bellied African toads.
  10. He has completely different taste from mine. If he loves, loves, loves something, you’re pretty much guaranteed that I will, at the least, be lukewarm about it. LOL…that’s what makes so good together and keeps us grounded.

New game

Posted by Lyndon and Jo Beth Shaw |

We thought it would be fun to write up a few list about us, so you could get to know us better. After all, we didn't want a stranger to shoot our wedding back in '02, and we know you don't either. SO here was the deal...we both composed a list of ten random quirky facts about ourselves that people might not know. THEN, we made a list about each other. It's kinda cute how we kinda wrote some of the same things. Today's lists are the one's we made for ourselves!

Things you may not know (or want to know)about Jo Beth (by Jo Beth)

1) I'm an Aries...or rooster if you dig the Chinese version
2) I could eat my weight in Lobster every day if given the chance.
3) I'm addicted to iterjections and ellipses. That's right! As you may have noticed, I write like I speak.
4) I'm a worrier. My three biggest irrational fears: -driving in the snow, -tornadoes (to the point I have reoccurring nightmares, and can't watch the weather channel) -cotton balls (I swear it's true...that's too crazy to make up).
5) My three biggest legitimate fears: -loosing some one I love -being unsuccessful...all the way around. In life, in love, in career. - uncertainty and change.
6) One of my most favorite things to do is shift through old photos of my childhood, and family pictures from before I was born. I love how the memories of my grandfather flood back when I see those old Christmas pictures!
7) Some people say that a song has the ability to take them back in time. But, my strongest sense is smell. Seriously, I can remember what my daddy smelled like when he came home from work, the smell of my mother's perfume on her wrist, the way my first 'tinkerbell' make up smelled when I was 3, what Lyndon smelled like in high school...all of my life events have been associated with smells. Sweet cinnamon pumpkin was the first bath set I bought to keep at Lyndon's house before we were married. To this day, it's my 'happy scent' that ALWAYS takes me back :)
8) i love love love raw fruits and veggies. I eat onions on everything (except before shoots and at weddings!). I can eat them raw just like apples. However, I think tomatoes are the abomination of fruit/veggies and detest ketchup.
9) Our dog, Harvey, is our first and only child. He had his own 'myspace' before Lyndon, and has more friends. I'd be lost with out him, and so would his cat, Bria.
10) I once idolized Punky Brewtser and my parents were kind enough to fuel my individuality by overlooking my fourth and fifth grade fashion statements. From mismatched neon socks, to gigantic hoop earring, and bright, hand-made loop jewelry.
11) Favorite moves: Gone With The Wind, Steel Magnolia, Where the Heart Is. Favorite Books: NASCAR novels, Dan Brown, all of the Left Behind books. Color: black, brown neon green and neon orange. Music: Old Crown Medicine Show, Classic country, and techno when I'm in the mood. TV: October Road is my current must-see.


Things you may not know about Lyndon (by Lyndon)

1) Prefers Nintendo over everything else
2) Huge fan of the Legend of Zelda video games
3) Favorite TV show: Lost.
4) Only shoots with Canon cameras
5) Would much rather shoot outside than in studio.
6) Huge NASCAR fan. Favorite drivers: Dale Jr., Harvick, Montoya
7) Still waiting for some one to make a good banana ice cream
8) Almost never go see movies in the theater
9) visited 4 foreign countries last year: Mexico, Bahamas, Belize, Honduras (the best!)
10) Addicted to 80's cartoons.

WOOHOO

Posted by Lyndon and Jo Beth Shaw |

Lyndon wasn't joking when he said the camera hardly came out of the bag on our skiing trip. In fact, we just got our new Canon 85mm lens, and man.... IT ROCKS!!! Too bad we only took 3 pictures the entire weekend...lol. It was so warm and pretty outside that we took it out for a spin Sunday afternoon. Nothing is really blooming to make purty pictures, but it's always fun playing with a new toy :) Here's the few I snapped of Lyndon using our new Gary Fong collage application:
Stay tuned this week for Lyndon's neat idea for you to get to know the 'real' us a little better. Plus, I hear whispering from the boss that there may be a new contest coming up as well, and you won't want to miss it!

-Jo Beth
