Sarah is a senior at Padua High School and is such a sweet and fun girl. Her session was quite an interesting one, as the moment we started walking towards our first shooting spot, it started raining on us. After waiting it out about a half-hour the sun started to come back out, yet the humidity was so thick that my lens would not stop fogging up. So after about another half-hour, we finally were able to start shooting. The morning turned into such a hot, sticky and humid day, but I’m so glad we stuck it out because I think the images we got for her senior pictures turned out so great!

Sarah, you were such a trooper the day of your session, and you made it so much fun. Thanks for being so great, it was awesome meeting you and capturing this special time in your life! Enjoy your sneak peek, so many more for you to see in your gallery soon. And Cheryl, I know you wanted to be surprised, I hope you love these…

Love this one, it’s one of my favs…

Another fav, so beautiful and she has some amazing eyes…

This was a new spot for me and I absolutely love how these turned out, I just love these…

I was excited to find this cool blue wall and love the colors here…

Loooove…

Jeremy and Susan found me through a friend and I was excited to meet them and take their annual pictures at their favorite spot. We met at a location I’ve never been to and it was pretty thrilling to have complete creativity with a place I haven’t been to before. All they requested was that I take their annual “wedding shot” by the falls, and then they were up for doing whatever I had in mind; I have to admit that I was pretty excited. I was hoping to get some great sunset shots, however all we had to work with was less than an hour as the clouds got darker and darker and then it started downpouring on us. However I think in the end we got so many great poses in the time we had and I am so excited to share some of my favorite images with them.

Susan and Jeremy, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek… I had a blast meeting you both and thank you for going along with all of my ideas. I think your images came out so great and I hope you love them as much as I do

I absolutely loved this building…

And couldn’t decide if I like it better in color or black and white…

Aren’t they so cute?!

And probably my absolutel fav, is this close-up of them…

We found some great spots with flowers and I love the colors…

Another favorite of them, I just love this one…

This location by the falls that they have been coming to since their wedding years ago, has this cool rock with the name “Sue” carved into it; however the name after the “plus sign” wasn’t Jeremy, lol, so with a little photoshop… I added his name! I think it turned out pretty neat

And lastly, I have to add another favorite image of them, I just love everything about this one…

I had so much fun taking pictures of these two gorgeous girls who have been best friends for years. They reminded me of my and my BF growing up :) Sarah met us while we were at our second location taking Karis’ senior pictures, and I love the variety of images we got of them together; and I especially love their awesomely coordinated outfits.

Sarah and Karis, I hope you love these images as much as I do! You are both so much fun and I really had a blast hanging out with both of you. Enjoy your sneak peek, more to come in your gallery soon.

So cute, I love this one…

And these crack me up, so in the moment, I love it…

And this one is seriously beyond gorgeous, my absolute fav…

Karis is a stunning and super sweet senior from Medina High School; she was so photogenic and easy to photograph that she made my job a breeze and so much fun. She found me through her best friend Sarah who I photographed a few weeks before, and wanted to do a mixture of nature and urban locations. I met up with Karis and her sweet mom at one of my favorite spots, and then we ventured to some other locations around town. I absolutely loved her cute outfits and awesome accessories she brought with her… especially her scarves and fun jewelry.

Karis and Laurie, I had so much fun meeting you both and am thrilled you asked me to capture this special time for you. I’m posting more than I normally do for a sneak peek because I seriously had a really hard time narrowing them down. Karis, you are gorgeous, and I hope you enjoy… so many more to come in your gallery

One of my favs, aren’t her eyes amazing…

She decided to bring this gorgeous dress the very last minute and I am sooo glad she did…

Loooove these tons…

My favorite blue wall, such great colors in these… and check out those long legs…

Sooo gorgeous…

I just love all the texture in these with the brick wall and her killer scarf and necklace…

She loves horses and has been riding for many, many years, I just love these next few…

This pond wasn’t the easiest to get to, but worth the hike…

Kylan, One Year Old! | Cleveland, Ohio Baby and Child Photographer

admin1 — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:00:34 +0000

I have truly enjoyed capturing this sweet little guy throughout his first year of life. He has always been such a happy little thing, so pleasant and smiley, and has always made my job so easy. Now that he is one, it’s amazing to see how much he has grown and changed from his newborn session, and how fast and on-the-go he has become, lol… and I feel so priveleged to have been able to capture these sweet memories for this very sweet family.

Matt and Danielle, thank you so much for allowing me to do what I love, and for trusting my creative (and sometimes crazy) vision at each of Kylan’s session! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek from his one-year… hard to believe how fast the time has gone.

They have such a great backyard, it offers great light and open shade and is where we shot all of the outdoor images…

Isn’t he such a little cutie pie?! I just love his one-tooth little grin…

I love all of these, they just adore their little guy…

Look how happy he is, always smiling and laughing, especially at his crazy-silly daddy behind me, lol! Thanks Matt

Then we moved inside for a few, and being an active one-year-old, it was hard for Kylan to keep still for the mom/dad shots… but I just absolutely love these…

This hat lasted 30 seconds…

So sweet, he loves his mama…

Stacy is a beautiful and super sweet girl from Padua H.S. I met her and her mom at one of my favorite spots that I haven’t been to in a while, and though it was another extremely hot and humid day for a session, we fought through it and had a lot of fun. She brought a great variety of cute clothes, and with all the awesome locations we went to and her seriously amazing, piercing eyes, I had the hardest time choosing which images to show for her sneak peek.

Stacy and Tricia, you were so wonderful to work with, and I had so much fun capturing this special time for you. Thanks for bearing the heat, I think it was well worth it… I hope you love your images

I just love this close- up, she’s absolutely stunning…

I love the texture and color of this cool red wall…

More favs, I honestly love every single one from her session…

And this one is beyond gorgeous, and so soulful, I love the b&w…

I absoltuely love all the colors in these next few…

Sarah is a gorgeous senior from Medina H.S., with such a sweet personality and beautiful red hair. She wanted to have an all-nature session, so we met at her house and shot most of her session in her backyard, which is so peaceful and private, I loved it! Her mom was a great help and super nice, and although it was extremely humid and in the 90’s, we stuck it out and got some really amazing images that I hope they love as much as I do!

Sarah and Shari, it was such a pleasure meeting you both, and I’m super excited to share your sneak peek! I think you’ll have a tough time choosing favorites, because there are soo many gorgeous ones

This image is one of my favs, and I had to post two variations of it cuz I just love them both…

I absolutely love these two, so beautiful…

And this amazing close-up of her, isn’t she gorgeous?!

This is another fav, I just love everything about it…

More absolute favorites, I just have so many from her session…

I am so super excited to share this sneak peek for my one of my best friends who I know is anxiously waiting… :) This is Brianna, our neighbor and one of Olivia’s best buddies. I was thrilled when Cindy asked me to take Brianna’s 2-year pictures; she is the happiest and sweetest little girl and we had so much fun dressing her up in all my girly girl accessories! She made my job sooo easy and such a blast!

Jim and Cindy enjoy your sneak peek… many more for you to see soon

hehe, isn’t she so stinkin’ cute?!

She has so many little expressions….

But this serious one totally tugs at my heart…

She absolutely looooved this parasol!

This one totally cracks me up, she fit so perfectly inside this little tub…

Switching up the pink…

I swear, there is always a smile on her face, I just love these…

And lastly… this is just too cute for words…

Jennifer, Senior Session | Medina, Ohio High School Senior Pictures

I had such a great time meeting Jennifer and her mom for Jennifer’s senior session. Jennifer is a senior from Medina H.S. and is truly a beautiful, sweet girl. We went to a couple of my favorite locations around town and then ended at their house for some images with their gorgeous pink flowers, I forget the name, lol, sorry Wavia! Overall we had a blast and I had such a hard time narrowing the images down to show for their sneak peek!

Jennifer and Wavia, I know you’re both anxiously waiting… enjoy your sneak peek, there are soo many more gorgeous ones I can’t wait to show you in your full gallery.

Isn’t she a stunner?! I love this close up, especially with the blurred purple flowers in front of her…

I love it in black and white too…

Another fav, such great colors…

She really has some amazing eyes, this is so totally gorgeous…

In front of her house, love this…

I’ve had a lot of senior sessions the past few weeks, so the blog will be loaded with lots of gorgeous teenage girls the upcoming weeks! I’m so excited to post Danielle’s sneak peek; she is a super sweet and gorgeous teen from Parma High School that I had the privilege of capturing for her senior pictures. Though it was a pretty warm day when we met, we had so much fun at her session and she is a total natural in front of the camera. Her mom was a great help and is super fun! Danielle and Betty… it was so great meeting you both, I’ve loved capturing this exciting time for you, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Isn’t she stunning?! This is one of my favs…

I absolutely love the colors here…
