So before every session I try to send a text or chat about what to bring.  We were all set to take some pictures with the football and the helmet and the letter jacket- but wait, there was NO football.  How funny that Ryan’s mom said- “you texted me to bring the football helmet”- BUT I texted her to bring the football, helmet and jacket. 🙂   Texting isn’t always the best way to communicate but we all had a good laugh.  Who needed the football, these pictures came out great anyway!  And for a guy who wasn’t real excited to take his photos- he looks like he had a great time with that genuine smile.

Wow, this was great- Andrea contacted me after seeing her brother’s senior photos from last fall.  It was another hot summer day- but we did it!  There are so many great pictures from this session- one of which I can’t show you because nobody knows “baby H’s” name…but I do!!  Stay tuned, baby “H” should be along any day now and we’ll have newborn pics right here on the blog- keep watching!  Good luck Andrea and Dan!

After all the rain we’ve had and now it’s 93 degrees and we’re shooting in the weeds with crickets, bees, flies and grasshoppers.  But that never stopped Dena from smiling and posing!  We had a great time in the meadow- even though we all needed major hydration and showers afterwords!  Dena’s package included a studio shoot as well- thankfully we had booked that for another day so we could all look and feel refreshed! Love her two different looks!

Adrianna arrived with both her mom and dad.  She came dressed, hair done and ready to smile for her photo shoot.  This was only the third shoot I’ve done for a Communion.  Adrianna’s mom was a great assistant and positioned the rosary just right, which was so helpful. Since we cruised through the studio shoot we decided to head to one of my favorite sites, a grassy field. I love the ease of a studio session – but there’s just nothing quite like natural light.  I know Adrianna’s mom really liked the studio shots, but she loved the outdoor shots.  One of the perks to my sessions can be an add on video with live footage added in. Take a peek.

Megan sent me the nicest email asking if I had any time for a shoot.  She had seen my work and was so excited when I said we could schedule.  Megan loves to have her picture taken and it shows in the photos.  We ran around Chagrin Falls looking for new spots and we did find a few!  After taking a boatload of shots it was really bugging me that she resembled someone, but who?  And then it came to me, I told her she reminded me of Jennifer Garner.

Tera called me one day to let me know her hubby would soon be heading for active duty in Dubai.  The question – Did I have time for a family photo?  Of course I did!  Cutest little boys showed up dressed like little teenagers.  Now when you look at the three boys you might think they’re triplets, but they’re not.  They’re each a year apart.  We had a great time and at the end of the shoot – they got to visit the “good behavior candy drawer.”  Can’t wait to take their family photo next year!
