Fall Family Portraits

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Earlier this summer while sitting in the outfield of my daughter’s softball game, probably while spitting sunflower seeds, Debi turned to me and said “You’re Left of Center”? Impressive first impression, eh?

Actually, it wasn’t her first impression. Her daughter and mine played on the same softball team and her son and mine played against each other in baseball all season long. They even faced each other in the Championship game at the end of the season.

Our schedules finally worked out once summer sports ended and last weekend we all got together at Colby Park in Wickliffe for a family portrait session.

Weekend Update!

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Wow!  It’s been a busy weekend around LoC.   Family photos, a Baptism, and a little trespassing!

Kicked off Saturday morning with a family session.  Always fun and got some great shots.  Followed that up with a Baptism on Sunday morning for baby Addyson.  Got home in time to watch a crazy Browns’ game and then headed out to break the law with Candice and Tom – a little trespassing, something about the movie “Wrong Turn” and a wicked old car!   I really had plans to not edit anything until later in this week, but with all the good shots I had from all three sessions I wanted to get something out there!

Carli + Kevin: Wedding!

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I can’t say enough good things about how much fun Carli and Kevin were to work with from their engagement session back in June up until their wedding this last weekend.

The morning started with the girls (in plaid) getting ready at Carli’s mom’s condo before heading over to Mentor United Methodist Church for the ceremony.  From there it was off to Colby Park for formals and then time to dance the night away at the Radisson.

Besides how great the wedding party, family, and friends were – the weather also did a nice job of cooperating with us and keeping the rain away – cloudy was good.  Rain wouldn’t have been.

I wish Carli and Kevin nothing but the best and a future full of happiness together.  From what I’ve seen in my time spend with them it should be easy for them to achieve!

On to the pictures!

This could be my most favorite dress shot I’ve taken.

O-H!

And maybe it’s because I have a little girl that I’ll one day dance a Father-Daughter dance with on a wedding day, but this picture of Carli and her father makes me smile. Another instant favorite of mine!

Kevin is a braver man than me! Look at the stare down he’s getting from his new father-in-law!

Gabbie – Senior Class of 2011

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Gabbie called me up earlier this summer to take her Senior Pictures.   She was referred to me by my September Bride Carli!  I love referrals!  Thanks Carli!

We decided to meet up at a local park for our first location and then head into Downtown Willoughby.  We also talked about what sort of things Gabbie likes to do – sports, tennis….and then the bomb…snowboarding!  It’s August!  How am I supposed to shoot snowboarding?  I came up with some cool, commercial shoot type ideas, but nothing we couldn’t pull off without a crew.  I told her not to worry about it because we had some time before the shoot and I’d get it figured out.

Well, the night of the shoot arrived and I still hadn’t figured it out.  Since it was hot and humid, we decided to shoot snowboarding last since she was going to put on some of her gear and I didn’t want to start the shoot off with her getting too hot.   By the time we got to snowboard, the sky was cooperating and a little rain had left the parking lot nice and shiny.  It was dark enough that anything but her the sky would be lit up with flash or the setting sun – a perfect way to hide the green of summer.  I think we pulled off August snowboarding pretty well!

Bench Portrait

Getting six little ones to look at the camera at the same time – and not drop the baby – is pretty impressive.
