Friday I drove up to Mount Vernon, Ohio for a shoot with the Burke and Wentworth families. He’s a couple quick previews from my time there…

(that’s a caterpillar on her head)

Saturday I was so excited to shoot Ana and Bob’s Worthington Hills Country Club wedding. It was gorgeous, and FRESH rocked out some incredibly floral design for them. Can’t wait to share the details!

I then made my way to New Buffalo Michigan to shoot the absolutely beautiful vineyard wedding for Frank and April. This one will also be awesome to share with you:)

Hair for this wedding done by my fave (and in-studio stylist), Leanna Murphey. She’s is THE BEST.

See? Today’s client thought so…

Her hubby is gonna DIE when he sees these pics!!!!

And because I never post any images from boudoir sessions on the blog, you’ll have to just imagine how amazing this shoot went. If you’re ever curious to see our boudoir portfolio, you can pop into the studio! We keep it pretty private here since this isn’t our primary business. (ps – I got her permission to publish this one).

Hair  - Leanna Murphey

Make-up – Kelli Ramey

Design – The ultra Fab Cory Lonsert from Fresh French Floral Boutique!

I’m headed home to rest up for tomorrow’s big day… Katie and Ryan’s Worthington wedding. If you don’t remember them, they were my Vail, Colorado couple:)

Following their wedding, I’ll be hopping on a plane (with the hubby of course) to Portland, Oregon to shoot Peter and Danica’s outdoor wedding. I’m thrilled. And it’s on a Tuesday…a first for me. I’ve been so excited for this wedding:) They’re wonderful friends of Matt and I and we couldn’t imagine not sharing this with them. There will be tears behind the camera (sniff sniff).

And sometime in that visit I get to finally meet my May 14, 2011 couple  from Seattle. They’re coming to Portland to meet and I am so excited to finally put a face with the name!

So, if you don’t hear from me for a few days, this is why! But you know the drill… shoot me an email and I’ll get back as soon as I return. And call if it’s an immediate need. I’ll be back online Thursday (i think we get in super later on wednesday) so look out for some fun previews!

Lastly, tonight wrapped up a the second of two senior shoots we did this week. Lauren. I like her name:) She’s so adorable, see for yourself…

Looking forward to alllllll the upcoming previews and completed posts! There’s so much happiness to share!

See you soon. You’ll be missed.

Today’s lifestyle senior session with Catie…

Our studio has started offering a new type of session – Sweet 16, a portrait session for your cutie as she hits a big year in her life! We’re looking forward to keeping you posted on upcoming shoots like this! Kate’s shoot style was my outdoor lifestyle, but we offer indoor High Fashion Sweet 16. Yes, we will shoot with guys too.

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.

Kurt and Nina chose the beach. The same beach they were married at. We went out about 1 hour before sunset and stayed until it got pretty dark. We spent a little time on the shore and in ankle deep in the water – both of them wearing their wedding wardrobe. It was special. And quiet and intimate. They’re a beautiful couple and I was thrilled to spend yet another day shooting with them:)

Many more from her session to come but here’s a sneak peek!

Per usual…my amazing styling team was on-set for this one:

Leanna Murphey {PRIMP Hair Studio} – hair
