BLOG ABANDONMENT

March 16, 2012

Ha!  Things have been soo busy around here that I’m finding less and less time to blog.  So sad BUT I’ve had a long talk with myself and I promise to be better about getting a blog post out there at least once a week.  So stay tuned, I have a lot of recent work to show off :D

Cousins | Wauseon Family Photographer

September 25, 2011

My HS classmate Stacie contacting me about a photo shoot for her sons and nephew I was really excited.  I’ve shot a handful of my classmates over the years.  I was extra excited to hear about her great ideas.  Golf is a huge part of there lives so naturally our session was held at Wauseon Ironwood Gold Club.  We had to rescheduled a few times due to the weather but it was worth it!  It was picture perfect.  Here are just a few of my faves…

Mr. Handsome

Mr. Adorable

Mr. Cutie Pie

Cousins!

Brothers.  LOVE this!

Mr. "T" turns 2 | Maumee Bay Photographer

September 21, 2011

Wow!  It’s hard to believe that “T” is now two years old!  It seems like yesterday I was posting his newborn photos.  When his mom contacted me to schedule his two year/family portraits, I had the perfect location in mind.  I just love how I was able to capture Mr. “T” in action and sweet family moments all in one.  Take a look at just a few of my faves

The Langenderfer family

Mr. ham for the camera!

LOVE!

Newborn Baby “G” | Toledo Newborn Photographer

September 2, 2011

Amanda and I played email tag for a few days before we were able to secure a session for the newest addition to her family.  Amanda is a dental hygiene pal and I actually took her sisters senior pictures a few years ago.  I’m honored she thought of me for baby “G”‘s first photo session.  When I arrived, baby “G” let us know who was in charge in that house and managed to fight the sleep off for a while.  She finally drifted off and became the perfect model.  Here is a sneak in to our session.    Thank you Aaron and Amanda for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to capturing your precious gift!

Kip and Amanda | Maumee Bay Engagement Photography

September 1, 2011

When we scheduled our engagement session for downtown Toledo, we didn’t even think about there being a game at Fifth Third Field.  A lot of my spots were turned into parking lots and space was limited.  We managed and headed to Maumee Bay for what was a beautiful sunset!  Here is a quick look into our session.  Look for their wedding in June

Brittanee: 2012 Archbold Senior | Archbold High School Senior Photographer

August 26, 2011

Meet Brittanee, a 2012 Archobold senior.  We had a great time during our session!  We stared in the studio because it was raining and it didn’t take long for Brittanee to become every comfortable in front of the camera.  She was amazing to photograph and the best part is her hair LOVED to fly in the fan :D  Here are just a few from our session

The dress shot for her mom

See what I mean about the hair?!  Awesome

Again, awesome hair

I was kinda bummed about the rain, but now I’m glad!
