It's Kentucky Derby time! Photoboothlive and Bob Lubell were in attendance for Kentucky's most prized traditions!

Photoboothlive took part at Ferdinand's Ball for the second year in a row and was a bigger hit then ever! Here is an excerpt from the Louisville Courier Journal: "In the funky photo booth area, supplemented with crazy props, Taylor Sommer played a rubber guitar and his wife, Leslie, looked cool in huge slatted sunglasses. The San Antonio couple were full of energy when they emerged from their photo shoot. They said they were delighted by the vibe of the party.“ I like the fact that it's not stuffy,” Leslie Sommer said."

Bob also has the opportunity to be "track-side" at Kentucky Oaks for the running of the Philly's at Churchill Downs.

Many of the photographers had several cameras positioned all around the track, so they wouldn't miss a thing.

The Bridal Buzz - An awesome event!!

Yesterday Brooke Lauber-Cobb of Bee for the Day put on one heck of a show! Photoboothlive and Grand Lubell Photography were fortunate to be a part of such an elite group of wedding professionals. The best of the best in the industry were there, showing off their goods and services showcased in the Erie Street Market.

I think this yellow themed table by Bartz Viviano will be a hit for summer weddings!

Photoboothlive at Paul Brown Stadium!

April is turning out to be quite the amazing month for both Grand Lubell Photography and photoboothlive! It's going to be an eventful year, we are so looking forward to being a part of many beautiful weddings and traveling all around the country!

On April 1, we were honored to be a part of the Marvin Lewis Community Fund event that took place in the Cincinnati Bengals locker room!! Now, those of you who know me know I am a MAJOR Cincinnati Bengals fan, so you can imagine how I felt when I answered a phone call to which the person on the other end said, "Hi, this is Lindsey calling for Marvin Lewis..." I about dropped the phone. Marvin Lewis is the head coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, who is also the head of the Marvin Lewis Community Fund, which hosts many events and benefits the residents of the Cincinnati area and beyond. Photoboothlive was featured at the "Pink Out at Paul Brown Stadium" on April 1st. The Pink Out was a cocktail party that took place in the Bengals locker room and the players' gym, which also included a live auction.

Beijing

There are many exciting sites to see in Beijing, this is definitely a trip of a life time! I wanted to share some of my memorable moments and favorite places.

This is a traditional Chinese breakfast.

The Great Wall of China. The Great Wall stretches from
Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Nur in the west.

Having a beer on Great Wall has become a local tradition, while visiting. Yanjing has the nick name, "The Real Taste of China" because Chinese people really enjoy this quality beer.

The Summer Palace:
At the Summer Palace, one finds a variety of palaces, gardens, and
other classical-style architectural structures.

The Marble Boat, also known as the "Boat of Purity and Ease" is a lakeside pavilion on the grounds of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China.

So far my travels in China have been wonderful and I am seeing and learning so much about this fascinating culture. I will try and post more photographs while here but the internet is not that reliable.

Cheers,
Bob

China Adventure begins in San Francisco

My two week adventure to China begins in San Francisco. After a 5 hour flight from Detroit, I'm adjusting to the 3 hour time change. Monday I begin a 13 hour flight to Beijing, then another 9 hour time change and a day lost over the date line! Watch for more updates as I travel. I'm hoping that I have Internet access, you never know while traveling overseas.

Cheers,
Bob

Baby Joshua - So handsome!

One awesome perk of being a Grand Lubell bride is that you get FREE sessions at our studio! We photographed Sarah and David's wedding in 2004, and they've been back to visit us many times with their two beautiful children. Below are some of my favorite pics of Joshua, the newest member of their growing family!



Sarah and David had visited us a couple of weeks before with the whole family, too cute :)



Thanks for visiting us Sarah, David, Abby and Josh!
