Pinkalicious

I love, love, love six-month olds! They are always cute, chubby and full of fabulous expressions, and this one was certainly no exception. In fact, all that red hair made her even more adorable! (And big brother was quite a cutie himself...)

Christmas baby

Isn't he the sweetest?

the pianist

A few more of a recent senior, this time with her piano.

second place and photo of the day

The second I took this photo of my son getting ready to take the ice at the intermission of an OSU game, I knew I had a winner. The lighting was super. The hard part was focusing in the dim light and trying to shoot between a team of squirmy mite hockey players. I found out this morning the image took second place in this month's BetterPhoto contest! It also happens to be Photo of the Day over at Shutterbugs today. Woo hoo!

8 days old

Oh my, this was one beautiful baby! I could have held him all day.

Finalist images

Two of my images placed in this month's Better Photo contest. One is from a summer session, a happy moment between sisters. The other is a favorite of my son. It was taken at an OSU hockey game. Just before his mite team was about to take the ice during intermission, I caught him staring up in awe at the Ohio State Band performing.

stunning senior

Some people make my job so easy :)

coming up for air

Hi folks. I'm almost done with all of my holiday orders and trying to get back to my normal routine. There are quite a few sessions I never got around to posting and I apologize for that, but obviously Christmas cards and photo gifts were my first priority. Most of my sessions are done for the season, but I've got a few babies on the way and can't wait for those. Here's a sneak peek from a session last week. Mom is due any day now!

Photo of the Day

An image of my hubby skateboarding took Photo of the Day today at Shutterbugs. Like yesterday's Photo of the Day, it's in the theme category, which this month is perspective.

Photo of the Day

Hi folks! Just a quick post to show off my Photo of the Day at Shutterbugs, and let you all know my blog updates are gonna be slow this next month as I fill all my fall orders, and squeeze in a few holiday sessions. It's that busy time of year!

beautiful blues

I love this family! They let me practice on them when I was just starting out and have been with me every step of the way. In fact, the oldest girl told everyone at school this year that she wasn't getting school pictures taken because she has her own photographer -- LOL!

trying to catch up!

Phew! I am working 10-hour days trying to keep up with orders, sessions and proofing. I'm so sorry I couldn't get everyone that wanted sessions in this fall. I really try to focus on quality rather than quantity so I can only handle so many. And with the weather as awful as it was, I didn't even get in everyone that had booked sessions. Bummer :(

The families I got in were awesome though. And the family below was one of my favorites! Besides being beautiful, they all were such good sports and happy to be there.
