Beautiful – Haleigh

Haleigh is the daughter of a great client of mine. She had a dress. I had some free time for personal work. This is the first shot.

More to come…

Behind the Scenes

It’s not really a “behind the scenes” on the technical stuff that makes LoC work, but still it’s important.

Most of my clients will recognize my wife from Facebook posts or having met her at some point. Last night I got a chance to turn the camera towards her. I owe just as much of my success with LoC to her as I do to all of you loyal followers that invite me in to your lives to capture the images that will be your memories.

For the past year and a half, as LoC has expanded, she has shown constant support to help me make this dream a reality. This post is just a “Thank You” to her for being there and helping me make all this happen.

Lilly & Leah: Seeing Double

Six months ago Lilly and Leah were welcomed into the world. Their parents just happen to be friends with my sister. My sister just happened to have twins around the exact same time. They shared the same gym. Think there was something in the water?

I met up with Lilly, Leah and their parents last Friday. I have to say they are pretty happy babies. Only one fussy moment and that was after spending 45 minutes with me. Really, 45 minutes with me makes a lot of people fussy.

Hope you think they are as cute as I do. I’m pretty sure this won’t be the last time you see them here at LoC!

Andrea: Seamless Session

This is Andrea. I blame her for LoC.

You see, several years ago we met in a through a little photo group on Flickr. We were all super awesome at shooting pictures of flowers and rocks, calling them art, and getting together to look at them at a little bar down in Tremont once a month. Slowly, though, our interests started to change. We started doing some portrait work here and there. The thoughts of making photography a career began to incubate. One day, I got a call from Andrea. Help me (Obi Wan Kenobi) shoot a wedding. It was all downhill from there!

Now she runs the very successful Photographs by Andrea out of South Carolina. And well, my little venture into portraits and weddings has turned in LoC. We still shoot side by side for a few more dates in Ohio, but last week she needed some new work for her website. So after spending Friday and Saturday shooting two fabulous weddings together I invited her over to the garage studio for a session on seamless.

Little did I know she would show up dressed as Han Solo….

I get this look a lot when we work together. Some people just don’t appreciate creative genius.

And then there was some goofing around at the end of the session…

My Team

Soccer season started today. Team LoC didn’t get off to bad start. The boys played tough in 0-3 loss.

And they had fun!
