Meet Eric: 2013 Senior Portraits

Okay first off, just look at that smile. Eric is one of my 2013 Senior Models and instead of doing two shoots like my girl models, we decided to do one long shoot last Saturday. I arrived at Eric's house and before we took off for Denison University in Granville, we paused for some absolutely adorable pictures with the family dog. We spent the rest of the shoot at Denison University and at Eric's girlfriend's house (which has the cutest front...

Jonas and Owen: 9 month and 3 year old Children's Session

I had the pleasure of stopping by the Glay household last Saturday and had a short session with 9 month old Jonas and 3 year old Owen. You may recognize these handsome hunks from my two previous sessions with them, Jonas's newborn and 5 month shoots. Compared to his all smiles demeanor for his 5 month shoot, Jonas was a little crabby this past Saturday. But that's okay because mom, Nicole, and dad, Adam, and I spent an hour making funny noises and...

How to Do Your Make-up for Your Photo Shoot

Let me start out by saying that I am not a professional make-up artist and I can't teach you how to do a "smokey eye" (I've been trying for years). With that being said, Photography is all about capturing you in a way that's real and in a way that you'll want to share. I love my job because I get to make everyone feel special and beautiful. So please don't stress. I promise that your normal routine is perfect, these are just some broad tips...

Engagement Session: Cassie and Ben

She really just wanted an iPhone. So when Ben went out to his truck one night and brought in an iPhone box, Cassie was too excited opening the box to notice Ben getting down on one knee and reaching for her hand.  Ben had put the engagement ring box inside of his sister's old iPhone box. Cassie said yes (of course) but five minutes later, after the surprise had  worn off she asked, "Do I still get the phone?" I met this wonderful couple...

Countdown to Now

There are 27 days until my last day of this quarter and 360 days until I graduate from college. I'm a planner. Anyone who knows me well knows that. Heck, anyone who has ever sat beside me in a class knows that. I have two hand drawn calendars in the front of my notebook (one for school and one for my photo shoots) and at least two lists of things to do at all times (Homework to do list, Photography to do list, Things to accomplish at work, Things...

Brielle's Sneak Peak: 2013 Senior Session

I had an amazing time with Brielle last weekend at Sycamore Creek Park for her first senior session. She was completely fearless as I asked her to trek through mud and high water to get some great shots. I absolutely loved the variety of outfits she brought and her ability to wear a sweater in 70 degree weather is inspiring. You might recognize Brie from the sneak peak I posted a few days ago featuring her best friend, Madison. We scheduled their...

Madison's Sneak Peak: 2013 Senior Session

I shot Madison's Senior Session last Sunday at Sycamore Creek Park in Pickerington. I had so much fun with her and her mother, walking around the park on such a gorgeous day. Madison had a bag of outfits and shoes ready for the shoot (a girl after my own heart) and she looked beautiful in every single one of them. I had scheduled her best friend's senior shoot right after hers at Sycamore Creek Park as well so we had a fun little overlap session...
