TRISH, MICHELLE and FAMILIES

Here is a sneak peek from a family session at Alley Park. I met up with Trish & Michelle and their families on another gorgeous unseasonably warm November day. It was a perfect photo day--but I have to admit it became quite the challenge. One member of the family wanted nothing to do with having her picture taken--and nothing was going to change her mind. From visiting with the ducks, to bribery with candy--there was no convincing her. Even without her cooperation, we managed to get some great photos--even a few awesome ones with her--just don't let her know!

DEIRDRE and CHRIS

From start to finish, Deirdre and Chris had the perfect wedding day. It all started with a sunny, unseasonably warm November day in Lancaster Ohio--and it only got better from there. Deirdre was a gorgeous bride and Chris and the rest of the wedding party looked fantastic--and I fell in love with the blue of the bridesmaid's dresses and guy's vests & ties--such a perfect contrast to the remaining autumn colors!

The wedding ceremony was at St. Mary's and it was a beautiful ceremony performed by Fr. Franks--perfect for Deirdre and Chris. After the ceremony, the photos went off without a hitch--everyone was so great to work with! Since it was such a beautiful day, Deirdre and Chris decided to take advantage and walk down to their reception at the Wilson Building. I walked down with them--and we were able to make a few photo stops to get some great fall color in some cute photos on the way.

The reception itself was perfect as well. The catering was handled by someone who Chris had worked for during some of his college years. Everything was absolutely beautiful--one of the most attractive spreads that I have seen--and it tasted as good as it looked! Once everyone had their fill of the delicious dinner, the party kicked into gear. Deirdre and Chris along with their family and friends kept the dance floor full the whole evening--literally until the last song was played and it was the end of the evening. Deirdre and Chris, it was an honor to be a part of your beautiful and perfect wedding day--and may the rest of your journey be just as perfect!

KYLE-Senior Session

Here is the sneak peek from Kyle's senior session. I met up with Kyle and his crew at Alley Park. He actually needed a crew to assist us--because Kyle now is the winner of my senior with the most unusual props for his photos! He had a collection of various snakes and dragons and other pets that needed to be kept warm--so they were kept in the warm car until they were needed for photos, came out for their photos, then put back into the nice warm vehicle. I think we got some great photos--Kyle's pets were definitely different to work with--but fun. I swear some of them even posed for their time in the spotlight. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek--lots more to come!

ISABEL 6 months

It's hard to believe how much Isabel has grown in 3 short months--and how much personality she has. She still has to be one of the happiest babies that I have ever worked with. She has the cutest smile & she is trying to talk up a storm. It makes you wish you knew what she was trying to say. I loved getting the opportunity to work with her again. This time we did some Christmas photos--doesn't she just look like she's all ready for Santa? Tell me she doesn't make just the perfect angel baby--and how about cheering on the Buckeyes--they have to win with a fan like her!

AMBER

Here is a quick first look at Amber's senior session. Amber is another natural in front of the camera. I love it when someone is comfortable in front of the camera---so much easier to get those natural--and in Amber's case, amazing photos! We had a great time starting with some studio stuff, then roaming the area for some cool late autumn color. We finished up in downtown Lancaster--and it literally got dark on us. Have I mentioned how much I hate the time change and the havoc it wreaks on my schedule??? I would much rather have the extra hour on the end of my day--who cares if it's dark in the morning. I need my daylight at the end of my day!!!! Anyway, we managed to get everything in(barely) and got some great shots---even though some of them are on the edge of darkness.
