Previews and a plane hop
July 25, 2010Sorry for my silence. It’s been a fun two weeks of shooting!
I figured the best way to catch you up is with some visuals:) And as you can see below…there are a TON of blog posts coming your way. 4 more weddings, families, portraits, travel, engagement. All the goods!
Wednesday the 14th was the Murphy family. This is one of my FAVORITE shots from our evening sunny-orange session.
Saturday the 17th…
An early morning session with the beautiful White family…
Then a barefoot-baby back patio shoot with the Hinkle family later that night…
Then, Monday, I hopped on a plane with my travel-crazy clients Jill & Lee for their destination engagement shoot in Washington DC. They’re both living in Columbus currently but DC holds a special place in their hearts. I can totally see why after the amazing time we had. You know me…I tried as many of the great restaurants as I could and stayed at the best B&B in the area – The Swann House. I HIGHLY recommend The Swann House, btw. Location – perfect. Management – perfect. Decor – adorable. I’m ready to go back:) Actually, it’s in the works. HUUUUGEEEE thanks to my lovely friend Cassidy for taking my call at 8 am the morning of the flight and accepting my spontaneous request to join me on the trip:) I couldn’t have done it without her. I wish you could see how opposite our planning styles are but we had a great time.
Here’s the hot couple in the city …
Shooting in Georgetown…
And lastly, I shot two more sessions Friday and Saturday. Amy & Shawn’s anniversary pics…
…and Melissa & Derek’s Engagement session.
Cross Lifestyle Family Preview
June 16, 2010Lots of shoots happening if you can’t tell by all the previews. Here’s a favorite from tonight’s shoot w/ the Cross family.
Sharon + Colby Preview {Lifestyle Family}
May 21, 2010This strawberry picnic, toy plane-flying, high swinging session is coming soon!
I’ve had many calls and emails about booking fall sessions. Many have booked already but I’m assuming (based on the wild number of sessions from last fall) that MAAAANY of you haven’t thought that far ahead yet : ) Well, it’s not too early to plan it. I promise! Sunday thru Friday slots are still open, with shoot times within 2 hrs of sunrise or sunset. I’ll work on a date and time with you when as you schedule, as well as plan our follow-up call to discuss wardrobe (very important!) and location. I’m excited to see all of you again and meet some of the new little ones that have joined your family!!!
Now, on to the photos! Yet another fun session with adorable kids. I’m a lucky lady ; ) This shoot was in October near Galloway, Ohio.
The Morrison Family {Lifestyle Portraits}
February 24, 2010My best description for the Morrison’s early December shoot: Crayola. Feels like a box of markers. Or maybe some spilled paint. And I love it. I just wish we had thrown in a teal bike or something to give it one more color 
Have I made my point yet? When we shoot your session, wear some COLOR!!!! I think it’s been a while since I haven’t found some way to brighten up a shoot. I can’t get enough of it. I promise you’ll be much happier with the photos, too. And if you need a little help, I have a FABULOUS wardrobe stylist. She’ll either pick it out or talk you through it. I mean, she can literally go to your home and outfit your entire family with items you would have never thought to put together. Let me know if you want more info about it.
PS – I’m pretty sure people PAY to get hair as amazing as little Eliana (the precious red-ish head)
I don’t remember WHY Matt was making this face but he’s hilarious so I’m going to assume he just said something ridiculous and thought he made a funny 
Beth rolls with it.
Then…….. the cutest 2 minutes.
The Drake Family {Lifestyle Portraits}
February 23, 2010This fall, I was so excited to get a call from the Drake family! I used to work with Keri at sbc advertising in Columbus. She was about two months-ish away from delivering little Opal (in the next post after this one) and wanted to get some fun family shots. So we set up a lifestyle session at the Park of Roses in Clintonville. The light was beautiful and Keri and Lucy rocked out some amazing colors. I was so SO excited when they showed up decked out in all their brightness.
Here are some faves:
I was OBSESSED with the trees. Obsessed. Gorgeous.
A little Keri + Jeff time – He apparently is very funny
The Lovett Family {Lifestyle Portraits}
February 5, 2010I’ve been dying to share this one with you! So let’s just get right to it. OH! and feel free to leave some love for Hayley in the comments. She’s probably heard enough sad stuff since her hubby was deployed last month. I think happy “cute kids” and “wish I had your hair” kind of comments are more than welcome here!
LOVE all the colors happening here V
Poor little Hudson was pretty sick that day :/ But we managed to get a smile out of him…
(below) These are truly the kinds of portraits I want all of my client to be able to take home. This is who the Lovett’s are. Playful. Happy. W/ curious kids.
I know it’s a bit unbalanced: Miley pics vs. rest of the family. But seriously… this child….
Then there’s Scott and Hayley.
And I’m pretty sure she won some sorta “Hot mom 2009″ award. Ok not really, but she should. Someone submit her photo.
Here is what I loved most about this session: Hayley’s attention to the details. She took everything I said about color and clothing and coordinating but not matching and showed up in something brilliant. I was thrilled to see all the colors. And they looked beautiful with the time of day and at-home setting.
