Wonderful Maternity photos

Gina and Cole came into the studio on Sunday to capture Gina's final weeks of pregnancy. Lauren will be here very soon and Cole will be a big brother.

I have taken Cole's photos in the past and I found out on Sunday that Cole really loves to take photos. I let him hold my camera to take a picture of Mom (see here right) which just thrilled him so much that on the last set of photos, Cole picked up my camera turned it to take a portrait photo and actually took a pretty good photo. This is pretty amazing because he's 4 and my professional camera is pretty heavy.

What a wonderful day and wonderful family.

I am looking forward to meeting baby Lauren and taking her first photos.

Jason & Tiffany

Sometimes plans don't work out the way that you want them to. Jason was to come into the studio with his brothers Kris and Kyle to have their photo taken for their mom for Christmas.

His mom, brother Kyle, and Kyle's dad now live in Florida. Kyle was spending two weeks here in Ohio, so we knew what kind of time we had. The night we were to do the photos, Kris was sick, but Jason wanted to bring his girlfriend Tiffany in for some photos.

We were able to get some great photos that night, but were never able to get all three boys together for a photo for mom, who is not really happy with her boys right now.

I told them, we all have to meet in Florida for a vacation and go back to the beach where I took photos back in November!

Chas

As a service to the school parents, I give them to opportunity to come back and "redo" photos from their sessions.

With the amount of students required to be photographed, sometimes it's just not the right day for a good photograph.

Chas is a wonderful little guy and I've enjoyed taking his school photos.

I look forward to a family photo session that we are going to do in the spring once it turns green and warm again!

Fun with two brothers

Mom brought the boys in just before the Christmas holiday for some updated photos.

The boys were absolutely wonderful to work with. We got some wonderful photos and even some funny shots of them just being themselves.

I look forward to working with them again in the spring to do a family photo.

Rickenbacker Christmas Party

Thanks to the 121st Refueling Wing for inviting me back again this year for the Christmas Party.

Everyone had a great time.

Florida family portraits

Thanks to the Hofius family for the great time at the beach. We were able to just dodge the rain from afternoon to evening with these photos. Brutus was so funny. While doing the photos of Jeff, Karol, & Kyle, Brutus would run at a full sprint behind them and I could see him coming into the photo just as I was about to take it.


These photos were taken on the way to our Portrait Safari on The Carnival Destiny.

Adam's Senior Photos

It was such a pleasure to work with Adam on his senior photos.

Guys are usually more difficult to photograph since most of them don't like to get their photo taken.

Adam even had some of his own input into what poses we photographed and it's wonderful for a photographer when a client gives them some direction on what they want the outcome of their photos to look like.

Thanks Adam and his mom Michelle. It was a great day of photos and we really got some good images!

121st Refueling Wing Military Ball

We were pleased to be able to provide our services for the Military Ball.

Everyone looked wonderful and had a great time.

We really enjoyed taking these photos.

We look forward to the next ball.

Goddard Winter Photos

This was really fun. I wanted to come up with some type of scene that would be fitting.

I was fortunate to find the sleigh and I updated it for the photos. The toughest part was coming up with a way to make it look like the kids were on snow.

It was great fun.

I'm looking forward to our spring photos in March!

A COLD Saturday morning, but we made it!

Thanks to the Kuhn family for braving the chilly weather to get this wonderful series of family photos.

They took advantage of our fall "Portraits in the Park" series.

It was a pleasure working with them and everyone had a great time.
