Erin at 6 Months

Remember Erin and JB? Well, they came in a couple weeks ago for Erin's six-month portraits. Check out these images.
I love the tie-dye shirts.
She's getting so big, isn't she?Make sure to see the slideshow and leave a comment.

Shannon and Matt

Shannon and Matt had their wedding reception a couple weeks ago. The wedding was a little earlier in the month -- in Alaska! Typically, destination weddings are in Hawaii, San Diego, or someplace like that -- places a bit more tropical than Alaska. But then, Shannon and Matt aren't all that typical.Since they didn't have their friends and family around for the wedding, they had a reception here in Columbus. We started out with portraits at Highbanks Metro Park, and then moved on to dinner at Hyde Park. There was a surprise fish cake (no, not that kind of fish cake) and some other great moments.

Lexie at (almost) 11 Months

Lexie stopped by the other day with her grandma. Mom couldn't make it this time so I made a slideshow right away so she could see some of the images.

She's really cute and has some of the biggest eyes.

Her great-grandfather is a photographer so I thought this was appropriate:

We also did a "Little Parts" session:

Be sure to see the slideshow and leave a comment for Lexie.

Julia's Senior Portraits

Here are a few of Julia's senior portraits. Be sure to see her slideshow and leave a comment below.

Zachary at 6 Months

Take a look at Zachary. What a cute 6-month-old.His hands are so precious and his smile so infectious. Hey! That rhymes!Don't forget to see the slideshow, too.

Mason at 11 days

Newborns have such a unique look that they lose after the first two weeks of life. Mason had actually been in once before, but you couldn't see him -- they were maternity portraits! ;-) It looks like he filled out a little in his first eleven days of life.Take a look at all that hair!

Christine and Tom

A couple weeks ago I met Christine and Tom over in Goodale Park in Columbus for some engagement portraits. They're getting married in San Diego, and were going to get their engagement portraits done on the beach there, but it didn't work out. So they found me to do it here in Ohio, and I'm so glad they did. We just walked around the park, having a great time, and stopped every once in a while.Make sure to see the slideshow for more images.

Of course, we had to go to the playground.

I just love this next one.

In a tree? Why not?

I hope you enjoyed these.

Owen is Three!

Owen was one of our very first kids when we started the Baby's First Year plan. He has come back several times, now. He was a little shy at first, but he warmed up quickly, and was as energetic as ever.

The young rock star!
After several somersaults, he wasn't tired at all.

Rockstars!

A little back-story on this one. Way back when I was a freshman in high school (or maybe a sophomore), a friend of mine came back from summer vacation with a new electric guitar. The brand was Squier! I couldn't believe it. And it was actually spelled the "correct" way and everything. Squier is the "value brand" of Fender guitars.
Ever since then (ca. 1982 or 83) I've always wanted one. But, you know, I'm not a guitar player so it was never going to happen. Well, I recently found out that the Squier brand came out with a 3/4 size Stratocaster that was perfect for kids. Now this was something I couldn't really pass up. I got one as a prop. So, we had a lot of fun playing with it and taking pictures. I make a tiny appearance in the slideshow, but don't let that stop you from checking it out. So, turn up the volume and get a cup of coffee -- it's a pretty long slideshow.

Kyle

Kyle is another one of our Senior reps to Dublin Coffman High School. We ended up doing the outside portraits on a different day because it started pouring. In any case, the sessions went really well. Here are a few images. There are lots more in the slideshow.

Go Rocks! (That's "Shamrocks" for you out-of-towners)

This next image is one of the very few we did in the rain. If you look closely, you can see the streaks from the raindrops.

We had much better weather the second time around.

Lacey and Everett

What a beautiful wedding this was. The weather could have been better, with the storm and loud thunder, but other than it being a bit damp, everything was perfect. The ceremony was at First Community Church in Upper Arlington.

I'll let the pictures do most of the talking on this one. Be sure to see their slideshow, too, for lots and lots more images.



Getting ready.

Final touches.

Dad walked Lacey down to Everett.

I like the way the pews, flowers, and tulle all come together.

They released butterflies after the ceremony. Luckily, the rain had slowed and they flew away.

The whole bridal party.

This was set up afterwards. I really like the way Lacey and Everett are backlit.

The reception site was a little soggy. Raymond Memorial Golf Course is a great location. They wouldn't let us take the carts out -- for some reason the tornado warning was the culprit.

Yep. Jumping, heels, and soggy grass. It's amazing no one slipped.

The attention to detail was amazing.

The cake, complete with Han Solo and Princess Leia, of course.

Someone had to "ring" their glass right away, and this is what resulted.

Lacey's dad gave a toast.

Their first dance as husband and wife.

Everett's brother was always mugging for the camera.

We went out again at sunset for some more outside portraits.

I like the movement in this one.

The rings.

How's that for a dip?
