A little sneak peek at Jared and Lindsay’s fun + flirty engagement shoot! MANY more to come soon…

You may remember me introducing Russell last month. The cute playful little terrier? July’s shoot at Wheeler Park in Columbus was awesome (if you don’t mind 10 dogs checkin you out head to toe the second to hit the ground for a shot). It was a great location where he was totally in his element. The only trouble…all the other dogs wanted to play…constantly.
Russ and his orange ball are inseparable, which is totally cool when you’re looking for a nice little splash of color!



Well, here she is. Willing-to-do-just-about-anything HS senior, Sam. We were equally excited for this shoot! She’s getting into photography and I love to talk about photography so it made for a chatty session.



She’s beautiful, right?!



Sam with her Minolta…


I had a blast shooting the Springhetti’s 50th Anniversary Party/Family Reunion last weekend in Pleasantville, Ohio. The entire family tree turned out (i’m pretty sure. There were so many people!). Ashley being the good hostess, walked around telling me who was connected and how. I don’t remember half of it… but I do remember how great the food was (AWESOME job Lori – I’m still amazed you cranked that out) and how much energy was put behind the little details.
Interesting detail – the cake and cupcakes which were an exact replica of the Springhetti’s wedding cake


Grandma and Grandpa looked like they were having a great time…that’s what matters.


Lovin the shoes, of course!

More to come!

So, not long ago I told you about Krista who approached me about doing a family shoot. The photos were meant to be a gift from the children to Kathy for Mother’s Day (hey, sometimes it takes a long time for a family to coordinate schedules!). What an adorable idea!
This family was hilarious. Laughing all the time. I mean it…constant laughing from the start to close of the shoot. They crack each other up. (Or maybe I was doing something ridiculous…like whistling during couple portraits and army crawling across soaking wet stones to get a shot). Anyway, I’m pretty sure we all had a good time.


The connection to the family was made by Jimmy, our financial planner. Yes, this is a plug…i gotta. He’s just so great.
Email me if you want his info! Anyway, that’s Jimmy below with Krista.

Thanks for a wonderful evening of shooting with you guys! What a gorgeous family:)
