Stephanie and Ben, October 12

2007-10-23T17:18:00.000-07:00

I've not been around much lately, but not because I haven't been taking any pictures. Indeed, I've been taking lots and lots, but haven't had time to post them. A couple of weekends ago we shot a wedding for Stephanie and Ben in Williamsburg, Virgina, and it was lovely. The wedding party was adorable, the reception was gorgeous, and the couple was entirely too much fun. We had a blast.

The girls were charming.

The guys were handsome.

A UPS truck came by as we were shooting outside, and we had to use it.

sneak peek

Here are a few of the photos from the wedding we yesterday; I've barely touched most of them, but the bride wanted to send a few to a relative stationed in Iraq, so I gladly complied. And you all get to reap the benefits. Click on the picture if you need an explantion.

school pictures are done!

And they're right here. It is password protected, so you'll need to get that from Darlene.

These photos will be fine for the yearbook, but if you're not satisfied with your child's image and want to retake it, contact me and we'll set that up. There will be no sitting fee for that, of course.

Thanks so much for letting me work with your kids! It was grand fun.

Stan and Deana

Stan and Deana got married in a lovely, intimate ceremony in April. We had never photographed such a small wedding before, and we loved it. The couple was relaxed; the family was enjoying themselves, and everything was beautiful. Even the weather cooperated! Since it was so tiny, we took fewer pictures than usual, but I still loved how many of the images reflected the warm glow that seemed to suffuse everything.

I did two sessions with Sam; one while there was still snow on the ground and one after it got warmer. She was a great sport the whole time, and willing to try pretty much anything. I was impressed throughout the shoot with how effortlessly gorgeous she is. Click below to see some of my favorites from both sessions.

I finally finished the photos from Alica and Aarons just-prior-to-Christmas wedding, and they're lovely. These are some of my favorites.

A friend of ours wanted pictures of his little man for Christmas cards. These are my favorites.

family pictures with Chris and Robert

After rescheduling several times because of weather, we finally managed to make our schedules mesh and I drove out to Chris and Robert's lovely house. The light was lovely, and these are my favorites.

family pictures on a freezing day

2006-11-15T07:00:00.000-08:00

This photo shoot was interesting, to say the least. We'd had it scheduled for about a month, after several failed attempts, but when the appointed day arrived, it was cold. However, they were willing to take a chance, so I was too. The family would keep their coats on while I arranged them, then throw them off, I would snap the picture, and they would hurriedly reassume their warm wear. By the end of the shoot it was snowing; we had to stop when noses turned noticeably pink. But for all that, we got some good pictures.

Ricardo is an aspiring actor and singer from this area. I worked with him to take pictures for his portfolio; these are my favorites.

Brian & Simone's family

2006-10-22T10:12:00.000-07:00

We took these in late September, at the Canton City Park. The whole family was fun to shoot; they're all hams in front of the camera, and Brian's full of ideas. I especially love the picture of them on the bridge. You can't tell, but they're all facing toward the water. You should have seen Jenna's face when we put her on the wall! Altogether, I think some of these are some of my favorite pictures that I ever taken.

Jessica's senior photos

2006-10-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

My cousin graciously allowed me to take her senior photos. Besides being very comfortable in front of the camera, she plays several instruments, and was willing to try just about anything, including perching uncomfortably on rocks.

Scott and Laura wanted their family pictures done with the new baby. So after a few hours, breaking the hammock, and picking innumerable mushrooms, here are some of my favorite shots.

Abby's senior pictures

2006-10-17T17:03:00.000-07:00

For these shots, we drove to a castle that I didn't even know existed here in Ohio. We were there near sunset, which gave us fabulous light, and Abby was a comfortable, very lovely model. Here are some of my favorites from the nearly fifty shots we ended up with.
