Ok, here’s my start at the new title format for the blog. My new cute header starts the statement….”A little bird told me…” and then the post title finishes it. I know…adorable (all carrie’s idea)
These are just a few shots of *some* of the spring dresses you’ll find at Lottie Da!
Wardrobe: Lottie Da – Clintonville Ohio
Here’s a quick preview from today’s shoot. Location to be named later along with more of the kitchen, food, and setting to tie up this fabulous lifestyle (and some not-so-lifestyle) food shoot!
While shooting Charlotte’s lifestyle session at the store, I snagged some shots of my new favorite gifting spot! This place will make you drool. Drool over patterns and textures and colors and craft – momma or not. You’ll be wishing you had a reason to buy. That’s me every time I walk in the door:) Amy is the mastermind behind this fabulous creativity and style and has partnered with some incredible folks to bring her concepts to life. This barely touches the spread of items she offers in-store, but I thought I’d share what I have!
Give Amy a call and ask about her custom bags, nursery bedding and accessories, and dresses! She’ll wow you with your options:)
I want to introduce you to Tarah Gaa [tg]. This is a woman of many talents. She has an eye for design – bringing a decade of experience in advertising and multimedia and puts every ounce of passion into her work. Tarah paints abstract art containing a lot of texture, lots of color and mixed emotion. Work meant to make people feel or see something. After spending an afternoon with Tarah and her gorgeous art, I totally get it. Painting has been a life-long passion for her. Tarah started by painting work for the walls in her apartment. The work grew and the space ran out. Friends began to notice. Art shows began happening. Paintings began selling. ”It’s an incredible feeling to have my art in someone else’s home. I like causing a reaction and evoking a feeling.” Tarah wants to give people the opportunity to draw from her work and take from it what they see. She’s an amazing talent and wonderful person. Be sure to check out the [tg] site and one of her upcoming art shows (currently at Indie House Collective).
As we were wrapping up the shoot, I heard a train. Could not have been more excited. Tarah was a total sport and played model (clearly not difficult for her) for the next 10 minutes. Seriously though…she can work the camera. The next four shots were within the 10 minute train session!
These will be coming in a couple posts. Here’s the first! And I’ll probably still add to it tonight. There were so many great shots from this session. And they’re all very different showing a different piece of Tarah’s life. I’m excited to share more about Tarah with you…but first, here are some favorite images I took during prep and painting.
Dr. Gray (my dad:), approached me about “upgrading” his website. After much discussion, we both agreed it was time for a complete refresh. He’s made great strides in his first 4 years of owning the practice (which he purchased after retiring from 25 years in the Airforce). He has an incredible patient-base and is excited to elevate his communications as he continues to grow.
Of course with most redesigns, it’s best to have some fresh, high quality images to work with. I was thrilled when he asked me (and trusted me enough!) to be his photographer. It’s one thing to put everything you can into new clients and trust your instint…but when it’s your own family…it can be a little scarier! If you know my dad, you know this guy has HIGH expectations (I say this kindly. Really). When he wants something, he wants it that way only. He’s usually right about it too:) Well, no worries because the shoot went fantastic. We planned out the right time of day for lighting the front of the office (mid day he gets these horrible heavy shadows on the left side). The day was perfect. The lighting was great. Dad had lots of lab work to do so I shot lifestyle – most photos of him in his element.
There’s one more piece to all of this. Greenline Creative. We brought Julie and Dennis onto the project asap to collaborate with us in the shot-planning and wireframing stage. They listened and heard my dad’s needs and have begun to produce a product right on target. Here’s a quick peek of the site in the works!
Yesterday’s shoot was Lifestyle with a mix of portrait.
More on Tarah’s story, life and art next week.
Last month was the grand opening event for The City Dog – “Doggie Daycare for the Urban Canine”. If you know how much I love dogs (a ton), you can guess how VERY excited I was to spend a few hours there shooting some adorably playful pups, as well as snagging some staff, interior and exterior shots. Jen (running the show over there) is incredibly passionate about these animals and has really worked hard to build up a clean and modern daycare environment for your furry friends. The staff is super friendly. The merchandise, extra cute. Love it all.
If you’re on the hunt for a place to take your dog daily or rarely (just to burn some energy and make some friends), be sure to give them a call! 614.228.DOGS
