Baby Levi

I got to meet Baby Levi on his 5 month birthday! It's always an honor for me to be invited back to photograph the child(ren) of a couple who's wedding I shot, and this was no exception! Patricia and Michael are amazing parents to this little bundle of joy!

Sometimes, little ones play shy for the camera, but not this little guy... He had his eye on me the whole time...

See what I mean??? Amazing parents!

He's a very focused little boy...

And FULL of personality!

Grandma was there and helped to hang his Christening gown for a couple shots...

This series features the baby ring that Patricia's father once wore...

And because Christmas is just around the corner...

This is one little boy who is very loved and adored!

Patricia, Michael, and Grandma... I can't thank you enough for having me back to photograph you little miracle! You truly have a beautiful family! Congrats!

Family Session at Battelle Darby Park!

Fall is the perfect time for family portraits! A couple weekends ago, I met up with Do, Bob and their four girls at Battelle Darby Park for a fun session! Here are a couple favorites!

I loved the colors they picked to wear...

Dad's going to have his hands full with 4 beautiful daughters...

And what better way to finish up a fall session than with some old-fashioned leaf jumping/throwing??

Thank you Do, Bob and girls for a great afternoon!

What's Going On?

Forgive me Blogger... it's been two weeks since my last post.

I've had some great family and baby sessions in the last couple weeks that I can't wait to post! I've also been working on album designs for all my amazing couples! It's a fun, creative process, but one that requires a lot of my undivided attention..Especially with a holiday deadline coming up! I hope to be back to my regularly scheduled blogging in a week or so, but in the meantime here are a few pics from a couple albums I'm working on...

From Steven and Amanda's wedding...

From Sara and Chuck's wedding...

From Katie and Eric's wedding...

And from Celeste and Adam's wedding...

Stay tuned for more!

Courtney and Doug...a German Village Session!

Where do I even begin this post? Well, I met Courtney about a year ago when she was still new to Columbus...and a newlywed! She's a photographer too, and we immediately hit it off! Pretty soon, I was begging her to come and shoot weddings with me! She's got a fantastic personality and a great eye for detail and emotion...all things which make her an exceptional wedding photographer! She asked me to take a few pics of her and her husband, Doug and their "baby" Raisin so we met up at Schiller Park in German Village and had a blast!

Courtney really wanted a shot that featured Raisin...

That was genuine laughter...(I think they were laughing at me, but hey...whatever works! :)

LOVE the fall color in this one...

If you're doing graffiti in German Village, you had better know how to use your umlaut!

...And there were sooooo many more! Courney, Doug (and Raisin)...thank you so much for spending your afternoon with me! I can't wait to share the rest with you!

Family Session at Creekside!

About this time every year for the past three years, I'm reminded of why we moved from beautiful South Florida back here to Ohio...the fall colors! Come mid-March, I'm usually singing a different tune, but for right now I'm enjoying all that the autumn has to offer including family portraits amongst all that amazing color!

Last week I met up with two adorable little ladies and their parents at Creekside in Gahanna...

Audrey...


Isabelle (who's got a birthday coming up!)

The fam...

The Girls...

It had been a while since Mom and Dad had any photos taken of just the two of them, so we snuck one in while the girls weren't looking!

One of my favorites...

Another favorite!

Thanks for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family! Can't wait to share the rest of the pics with you!

Dominic turns One!

It's hard to believe that Dominic is one already. How fast a year goes by these days! Nothing we do as parents will ever slow down the process of our children growing up, but we can freeze time for a bit when we look back at the photos we take... Here are a few from Dominic's One Year session...

I know I've said before that my favorite photos of children are taken when they are unaware of the camera. Yeah, it's great to get them smiling with their big bright eyes staring right into the camera, but when something grabs a toddler's attention...that's just fascinating to me! Their little minds are so transfixed by something as simple as a blade of grass, how can you not marvel at that?

And finally...a walking shot!

Happy Birthday Dominic!
