New Children's Site...Ready to Roll!

Well the time has finally come for my new children's site to go live! I've had the domain for a few months and I've been slowly working on adding more photos and I'm thrilled to announce that my new children's site is really ready to go now!

I'm now offering in-studio as well as on-location sessions, and I'm really excited to offer some new products and services to the lineup! Children's Fantasy sessions, Baby's First Year, Baptisms and Dedications...Lots of great stuff!

So, why not head over to Claypool Kids and check it all out!

Megan | Columbus Children's Photography

Spring is a strange thing here in Ohio. We get teased with temperatures in the 70's on the first day of Spring and then two weeks later...it snows! Such was the case with my recent session with Megan! Megan and her mom met me out at Homestead Park in Hilliard for a few pics! Here are just a few of my faves!

I loved the bow detail on her girly-girl dress!! And the nails to match! I just couldn't get over how we were there in short sleeves with snow on the ground...

Reflective Megan...

Turns out she loves to dance, so I grabbed a little series while she got her groove on!

Oh, Spring!

Yes, I have tons of editing to do yet...but I couldn't resist heading outside to capture these signs of spring...

Lexi

Meet Lexi!

Lei's mom, Katy brought her out to Inniswoods Metro Park for my First Day of Spring session. From the get-go, I could tell she really enjoyed having her picture taken! She posed, she smiled...she was an absolute blast to work with!

Here are a few of my favorites!

Children's Photography at Inniswoods...Henry

There's no better way to spend the first day of spring than by being outside! March 20th, I got to spend the day outside at Inniswoods Metro Park photographing some of the city's cutest kids! Over the next few days I'll be featuring those photos, starting with one adorable three year old...Henry!

Right off the bat, Henry was a gentleman! He said "hello", and immediately took my hand and started leading me around the park! "Shy" is just not a part of this child's vocabulary!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session...

I loved the morning light with this one...

While it's always important to photograph children's faces (they change so fast from month to month when they're this little), I'm also a big fan of photographing children when they are engrossed in something. I've blogged about this before, but children are fascinating little people...and to explore the world through their eyes is like seeing the whole world again for the first time. So when Henry sat down by the water, I couldn't resist... I don't know if it was the frogs, the fish, the foliage or just the water itself...but something about this spot held his attention...

Same here...he's an explorer for sure!

Henry, thank you so much for bringing your mom and dad out on what turned out to be such a beautiful first day of spring!

Kelly

I first met Kelly a little over a year ago. I had the opportunity to photograph her beautiful family in the newly fallen snow near Hoover Reservoir, and had a blast! Now Kelly has started her own Personal Training Business in Westerville, so she asked me to come by and grab a few photos of her for her new website (which I hope to be able to share once it's up and running)!

Truth be told, Kelly can't take anything but a fantastic picture...so it was hard to narrow down the favorites!

If you're in Westerville (and an early riser), she teaches an early (and I do mean early) class at a great studio called The Yoga Factory. While I was there, I shot a couple photos of the studio itself just for fun!

It's That Time of Year!

Graduation is just around the corner and for High School Juniors, that means one step closer to Senior Year! With that, comes Senior Pictures and this year I'm offering some pretty big specials for current Juniors who are interested in being Senior Reps for the 2010-2011 school year!

Give me a call or send me an e-mail to get all the details on a fun, one-of-a-kind session that's all about YOU!

If you're in the Grove City area, stop by and say "Hello" at the upcoming Taste of Grove City too! Hope to see you there!
