First Look! Kathy + Jon

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Kathy and Jon are getting married next year!  Here is a quick shot from their engagement session in Olmsted Falls.

More to come….

Courtney & Joe: Engaged!

Friday, August 12th, 2011

I really thought about calling this post old bike and moldy cheese but I ended up sticking with my regular style.  Maybe that’s for the best.

I met Courtney and Joe at the park in Rocky River.  They had brought along a couple of bikes from Joe’s collection or 15 or so rides.  The ones on this night were from the 50′s and 70′s.  Cool old rides.  After a few spins around the park it was off to another location down by the river.  There I learned that Courtney and Joe met over moldy cheese.  I also learned how distracting ducks can be!  Last stop for the night was Whiskey Island.  The plan was to grab some shots against a stunning sunset and fiery orange sky.  That didn’t happen.  I’m 0-3 when it comes to sunsets and engagement sessions this year!

Courtney and Joe are getting married this fall so I’ll be sharing pictures from the wedding soon!

Renee – Class of 2011

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

One of the cool things about photography (with a little help from Facebook) is that it has brought me back in contact with a lot of old friends.  Renee and I met before she was a year old.  Right there is the proof in color.

Renee - Class of 2011

I was skinny and she was cute. Guess which one of us doesn’t look the same…. :/

I fell out of touch with her mom after college, but we crossed paths once again and in an effort to make me feel really old she asked if I would take Renee’s senior portraits. How could I refuse?

We met up earlier this week and walked through downtown Willoughby. I was one of the last hot days of the year most likely and we took advantage of that and even went down to the river and got a little wet.

And if Superman shows up then you have to take your picture with him. I’m pretty sure it’s a law.

Extended Family Portraits

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Michelle and Lynda sent me an email a few weeks back saying how much they liked my photos and that they would love to get together for me to shoot there extended family – they and their families have been close friends for years.

Then they gave me the whopper – do anything you want.  I was talking with my friend Andrea about this just the other day.  That kind of freedom immediately makes the mind go blank!

I managed to pull it together and we had a great, and hot, night shooting in Willoughby near the Chagrin River.   They were up for anything I threw at them and the shots came out great because of that.

After walking the trials for an hour we finally ended up down by the river. It was a much appreciated too since we were all hot and tired by that point. Just splashing around for a few minutes gave us all some energy.

We made it back to the parking lot with just enough time to for the boys to flip a few tricks on their skateboards before we had to call it night.

It really was a great session. We’re already talking about getting back together this fall to do it all again!

Thanks Michelle and Lynda!
