JACOB 2-Teays Valley Senior Photos





The last week has been crazy. With the sunshine and warm weather, everything seems to start to come back to life and get back into the busy groove that I'm used to. I realized that I hadn't posted a few photos form the second part of Jacob's senior session. Unlike me, Jacob loves the snow--and wanted to do some of his senior session in it with his snowboard. Luckily for me, he waited until it was a nice sunny day--right as the snow was starting to melt away. Even I loved being in the snow on a bright, sunshiny day, with temperatures creeping up and melting the snow that was still on the ground. We managed to get some really cool shots--and I actually enjoyed being out in the snow for this one!

There will also be games & refreshments. It's always a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday. Stop by and say hi--I'll be working the event too!

Lt. Joseph McCafferty Tribute


















Lancaster firefighter Lt. Joseph McCafferty was the first firefighter in Lancaster history to die in the line of duty. He was a 37 year veteran of the fire department. It was evident by the tribute in his honor just how well respected he was both by his colleagues and friends and the citizens of Lancaster.

BRANDON-Lancaster High School Senior photography

Here is a sneak peek from Brandon's senior session. We started with some studio photos--then hit several locations around Lancaster and about froze! Ohio winters are no fun! We even got yelled at by a homeless guy who thought we were taking his picture. Brandon was a trooper, though. He didn't even get to wear a coat for most of his outdoor photos--and still managed to smile!

DEZERAY-Westerville Senior Session
















I had the best time shooting Dezeray's senior session. She is so much fun--and is a real natural in front of the camera. She hates snow as much as I do, but I managed to coax her outside for a few photos in the snow. As much as I hate it, it does make for some gorgeous photos--at least as long as I don't have to live with it all the time! She brought a great mix of outfits and other things to include in her photos--which I love--and best of all, her favorite color is pink--mine too! Anyway, here's the sneak peek--with lots more to come!
