  • Megan Beth, 04.01.09:
    Megan Beth : ok you win. you def got me. I was like...hmmm, interesting choices.
  • Renee Mader, 04.01.09:
    Renee Mader : You were really starting to scare me girl! I was thinking she musta got hit in the head with a couch during the move or sumpin'! Nice images....
  • Lori Reich, 04.01.09:
    Lori Reich : You guys are awesome photographers AND comedians... That was hilarious - you really had me - scratching my head at first!
  • Tara, 04.01.09:
    Tara : HA!
  • Erin, 04.01.09:
    Erin : You crazy kids and your photog humor!
  • ohana photographers, 04.01.09:
    ohana photographers : so first off as i was reading i was saying to myself, "dammit, why can i have that kick ass chromosome action?" then the first image. i then thought to myself, "thank the holy spot color hell, i don't have that chromosome wth!" TOTALLY and i mean TOTALLY fooled my arse. awesome. just awesome.
  • kate gardiner photography, 04.01.09:
    kate gardiner photography : omg!! I was sitting here thinking, wow mel doesn't usually go all super action on photos. i was thinking, gees, the sooc pix were much nicer than the techno geek ones. totally got me!! the second set are perfect!
  • Melanie, 04.01.09:
    Melanie : Wow... so I guess we better stick with our old style and not change it up. Come on David... you know you were ultra impressed by my spot color skills. When I'm out in CA next I'll be sure to teach you a thing or two. I noticed there is very little spot coloring on your site. You should work on that. Hey Erin... I figured this would beat a poop charm bracelet post. I'm pretty sure you'd be the only one to really get it and not yack on the computer screen. Lori... get ready girl. I hear Mexico has a lot of beautiful blue water. I figured we'd shoot your entire wedding in black and white and just paint the water blue in all the shots. You'll love it... promise! ;)
  • Kathryn Brown, 04.01.09:
    Kathryn Brown : Great job you guys! I LOVE the street shot!
  • ezra, 04.01.09:
    ezra : Stop that sh*t...that's not even funny...I was about to cut you off...you are insane...good job...I was fooled...
  • Gwendolyn Tundermann, 04.01.09:
    Gwendolyn Tundermann : You crack me up! I was like uh, this isn't their style at all! I don't really use actions anymore, but I like what you do with them. I've always admired your use of textures, but I'm not brave enough to let myself go there! LOL!
  • mizerle06, 04.01.09:
    mizerle06 : who's the ugly dude with the hot chick? and couldn't you have photoshopped in some muscles on that guy too?
  • Bradford, 04.01.09:
    Bradford : mizerle06... we DID photoshop in some muscles on you, I mean him.
  • Melanie, 04.01.09:
    Melanie : Haha... Ezra!!! I can't believe you were about to cut me off. Don't be jealous of my mad skills yo!
  • Ginger Dupre, 04.01.09:
    Ginger Dupre : Geez. I have been an absolute sucker for this April Fools stuff today. Y'all got me but I will say when I saw the first "after", I was like Gwen and thought, that is not anything like their work! Y'all are too funny. LOVE the real before and afters. Mucho better!
  • Star, 04.01.09:
    Star : Too funny!! 1st image...I said no way is Mel involved in this blog post and does she know what havoc Brad is causing...2nd image, Brad's lost it, 3rd image...started saying prayers for Brad. You crack me up! Love the real deals thou, thanks for sharing!
  • DeAngela, 04.02.09:
    DeAngela : You guys know I'm just starting out and even I was thinking, what the...lol. Great joke!
  • Melanie, 04.02.09:
    Melanie : Mark... what you meant to say was "check out those two hot models... they be lookin' gooood!" Hey Ginger, I'm glad you like the afters. I actually have an idea for the third photo but it requires a texture I have yet to find. Its in my head but that does me no good right now haha. Star... you are hilarious. After you said that it reminded me of the first time I showed Brad how to use photoshop. He spent an hour changing bricks to various colors because he could. Haha! Hey DeAngela... I'm glad we didn't lead you astray. Good intuition girl. ;)
  • Suwanee, 04.04.09:
    Suwanee : OMG! HILARIOUS!! At first I thought, who posted this blog post for them, doesn't sound anything like the Melanie I know---and those pp tips!!! LOL...Good one! Thanks for sharing the REAL tips...(I'm still chuckling to myself)
