Another Family shoot!

I am slowly but surely working my way through all of my clients so that they each make an appearance on the blog.  The Browns were great to work with.  It was a B-E-A-utiful day on the day we did picutures.  The sun was shining so bright.  Their kids were so wonderful to work with.  They are just adorable.  It is always a true blessing to get to capture special images of your families.  Thank you Browns for a great session!

Thank Heaven for Little Girls!

Isn't that such a true sentiment!  Thank Heaven for little girls!   I was so truly blessed to do the pictures of these precious sisters.  They are amazing little models and it was a true joy to take their pictures.  Preserving the memories of the relationships between children is one of my favorite things about photography.  I love capturing these memories.  It must be the scrapbooker in me, but I love the natural candid shots when kids don't even know you are looking at them.  Their true essence seems to show!  I always take and edit so many non-traditional hang on the wall shots because of my scrapper instinct!  It all shows the true personality of my clients and I want to give that to my clients.  Thank you again girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope to get to take your pictures again soon! 

K's Senior Photoshoot

I finally got to do another senior session!  I love senior sessions!  They are so much fun and they stay where you put them!  LOL  This last week I got the privelege of doing miss K's senior pictures.  I have known Miss K for quite awhile as she sometimes comes in with her grandma and helps her out at school.  It is so amazing that she is a senior already.  Where did the time go?  In this session we got to have three generations photographed!  Grandma, Mom, and of course our senior.

We were all over the place for this shoot.  From Bluffton to Lima.  We did studio and we did outdoor.  It was simply a blast!  I wish you luck Miss K!  Congratulations on your graduation and enjoy every minute left you have of high school!

Thanks for letting me photograph you.

Family Photos

One of the best things about photography is that it captures a moment in time.  We get to freeze a point in time so that future generations can see what we were like back in the day.  It is so important that we take the opportunity to get these moments documented, so that we can remember when.  I recently got to take a set of family picks for my friend.  It was a lot of fun to work with them and take their portraits. 

The Boys of Summer

This week I had two really great shoots.  The first was with two awesome boys.  They were soooooooooooo much fun to work with.  We had a great time.  These boys had so much personality.  It was really awesome getting to know and talk with both of them!  Their mother told me that they kind of liked baseball a bit, so we incorporated that into the shoot.  Basically it was our bribe for the other pictures.  Let us get these pictures and then we'll go and play ball.  It is so important to not only capture their smiling faces, but also a piece of who they were at that particular moment.  These boys are truly boys of summer.

Toland Photo Session

     What was not to love about doing this shoot? Two sisters and one brother who were all great to work with. The weather was a bit dubious for the day with rain showers all morning long. However the old adage rang true Wednesday. "If you don't like the weather in Ohio, wait five minutes!" This was so very true. By the time we finished with our shots indoors, the rain had stopped and had even mostly dried up. So I took the Tolands on a hike out my back door! Here are more of the pictures that were not shared on facebook. Hope you enjoy!
