Kicking off 2012!

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

Well, another year has come and gone.  2011 was incredibly successful for LoC and I’m hoping that all my past, present and future fantastic clients help make 2012 even better.

I know a lot of photographers post “year in review” blogs right around now, I was tempted to as well, but there were just to many photos to amazing photos to choose from and I didn’t want anybody to be left out.  Instead, I’m going to look forward at what I want 2012 to be like for LoC.

1. More Weddings!  I’ve got a goal to double the number of weddings I shot in 2011!  Are you one of them?  If you’re getting married, or know somebody that is let them know how great LoC is!

Candice + Tom: The Wedding

Tracy & Ben: Girls

2. More Maternity sessions and newborns! Isn’t it time some of my past bride and groom’s started having babies? ;)

3. More High School Seniors! This is an area I haven’t spent much time focused on in the past and this year I’m hoping to be a little more aggressive. I’d like to find some senior reps that will help spread the word about LoC at their school in exchange for discounts on their sessions! Let me know if you’re interested or know somebody who could be!

4. Establish Black, White and Boudoir. Boudoir photography continues to grow and gain in popularity and it’s something I’d like to be known for. It’s a great groom’s gift from the bride right around the wedding day. It’s a great anniversary gift for somebody special in your life. The sessions are fun and the pictures are always amazing!

You get the idea! LoC is about continuing to make great photographs of the things important to you! Your family, your wedding, your moments! If you are already a client then I can’t wait to see you again in 2012! If you aren’t, well, what are you waiting for?

Class of 2012: Rhiannon

Monday, August 29th, 2011

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I met Rhiannon out at Holden Arboretum for her senior pictures.  She probably had the best weather I’ve had all summer for a portrait session – blue sky, cool temps..and well…lots of bugs.  It was the “best night” not the “perfect” night. ;)

Most seniors seem to take a while to warm up for the camera.  Not Rhiannon.  We got right into and she was a natural in front of the lens.  Her and her mom let me drag them all over the Arboretum – and they put up with the bugs.  Did I mention bugs?  If they had been bad guys I would have felt safer because  Rhiannon is a black belt in karate.   That knowledge probably helped keep me from asking to do things that were way too crazy!

Home from a great shoot out at Holden Arboretum.  It was a perfect night and Rhiannon was a great sport as I made us walk all over the place.  There will be more in a few days, but here’s shot to get you started!

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.

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.

Well, summer vacation has come to an end in these parts and the kids headed back to school this morning.   I, on the other hand, took a vacation day so that I could have the house all to myself!
