Lexi

Wow, I just looked at my previous post and saw the date!  …January was a long time ago!  Well, it's summer break for me and I had my first senior session with a beautiful young lady!!  Her mom and I used to be colleagues many years ago and it's hard to believe she has a daughter who will be a senior next school year!!  Lexi is a lovely, intelligent young lady.  I had so much fun taking her senior photos! We had a bit of trouble with the weather (since it's been raining on and off the whole month of June) but we managed to squeeze in 2 sessions at 2 locations in 2 days!  :-)

The first session was at Garlo Park in Bloomville, Ohio.  I take my first graders here on a field trip and they have a GREAT time learning about nature from an AMAZING teacher (who just happens to run a GREAT nature based pre-school on the site).   We tried to start in the morning but had to reschedule for later in the day when we got about 2 hours of rain free time!!

The second session was downtown Tiffin, Ohio.  Again, we had to jump back in the car to wait out the sprinkles but again, the rain stopped and we were able to get some great shots!!

I love how these 2 locations were completely different and give a totally different feel to Lexi's photos!

 

Snow Day

It's cold and blustery outside… just the way I like it!  Winter has finally arrived and that means SNOW DAYS!  I've had 2 this week which has allowed me to get caught up on some things… like trying out my new lens, the Nikon 24-70 f2.8!  WOW!  That's just about all I can say, WOW!  This lens is living up to EVERYTHING that I read about it.  That being said, I had a little spontaneous snow day photo shoot with my "go to" model, Mollie (who just happened to be home on break from college).  The sharpness in the images is noticeably different from any of the other lenses I own (even my beloved 85mm prime).  It does GREAT in all lighting situations and even produces a nice image with the flash on (I normally hate all my flash images).

So here are the first images shot with the new lens

August and September

August and September are always crazy busy for me.  School starts back up and my free time is really limited.  However, I did manage to take some great photos!  That being said, you can see what I've been working on below.  A little bit of this... a little bit of that!


Photos of my amazing 7th grade nephew at his Jr. High football game!

A senior sessions with a GREAT guy... and we're not done yet!  He is totally into cars and I'll be doing another "car" session with him soon!

My niece, the lovely Marissa, jumped into a few photos during Drew's senior session.  They are SUPER cute!!

A fun ballet session with a friend / colleague's daughter!  She is beautiful inside and out!

Amy and Matt June 2014

June is a popular month for weddings!  This year, my husband and I were invited to 3 weddings on the same day!!

My friend Amy's wedding took place on the campus of Heidelberg University.  It was a lovely wedding with lots of special and unique touches that made the day very reflective of the bride and groom's personalities and interests!

 ...and while I have no desire to ever be a wedding photographer, it was fun snapping photos of my friend on her wedding day!

I hope you enjoy a little peak at Amy and Matt's amazing wedding!
