If you don’t remember in my class of 2011 senior photos I shot some senior portraits for Faith. She already had a promise ring at the time from her boyfriend Zak. He came along for her senior session and we even got a few of them together then. Well, over the summer the made it official and got engaged. They are a super cute couple and just laugh and have a good time together. You can really tell that they are great for one another through their photos. I even more so got to see this through my interaction with them through out the shoot. They were both happy, laughing and playful during the entire thing. We went to Hinckley Lake where I actually shot the Carlson Family photos earlier in the day. They had a beautiful day. We couldn’t have asked for any better weather considering the weather from the day before. The lake, sun and sand were absolutely perfect. I later found out that this was the location where Zak popped the question to Faith. This I think will make their photos and session that much more meaningful. Congratulations to the both of you. I wish you nothing but the best!

Zaks mom came along for the shoot. We just had to involve her somehow!

The Carlson’s are actually a repeat client. I shot family photos for them last year around the same time of year. We did their first family session when their daughter was still a baby. Now she is growing up walking and super cute. Even though she really was not a fan of my camera, she warmed up to it towards the end. We decided to head out to Hinckley Lake this time since they had recently moved to Medina. I have heard a few people tell me about this place but this was my first time actually going. Let me tell you… we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The prior day it was cold, rainy and gloomy and I was worried that we would have to re-schedule the shoot if the weather didn’t change. However mother nature was on our side that day! It turned out to be absolutely gorgeous! Check out some of their photos from our beautiful day at Hinckley Lake.

So do you remember that Maternity client a few posts back named Ashley? Well, here is that little bundle of joy that came from that session. Abby is her name and she is super cute. I know I was a little behind posting Ashley’s first session but these photos are much more on time. They were shot only a few weeks ago. She did so well for her newborn sessions and mind you when I shot these she was only a mere 8 days old. I can’t wait to see how much she will have grown and changed by her three month session in December. The beginning stages are always where babies seem to make such drastic changes as they grow and learn. Here are a few photos from her newborn session. Be on the lookout for her three month photos in December!

So to start off… Adam thank you for being one of the easiest guys to shoot this year! It’s pretty typical that senior photos are about the last thing on any senior guys mind. However for Adam he didn’t mind getting out there and getting a few portraits taken. He did great as far as just being relaxing and getting some photos taken. Mom was right there though to make sure he was doing a good job. No pressure right! These are only photos she has been waiting for since you were born because now you are growing up so fast and will soon be leaving to college and she will have to just look at your photos and remember those days of highschool. Lol. All kidding aside check out some of Adams photos…

Cody is the son of one of my moms good friends Lori. He is a pretty laid back kid and really wasn’t into the whole having to take photos. So since his mom just wanted a few, yearbook and mantle photo we didn’t take a ton. We shot all of his photos in his back yard or on his porch in the front of the house. All in all for it only being as his house and for him not really being that “into” it he did a great job and I was able to get some pretty good photos.  After our shoot he went right back to doing what his mom says is what he is best a doing. Basketball shorts, tee, blanket, couch and tv on. Wish I still would have had my camera out for that.

Yet another cute baby name. What is 2011 the year of adorable baby names!? Anyways I shot Benson’s photos because Courtney and Andy gave a photo sessions as a gift to Kim and her husband. For as little as he was at the time of the session he still did a pretty good job. He only cried a few times, and yes of course I had to post at least one of him wailing. It was just to cute I couldn’t resist. Check out some of the photos from Benson first session.

Harper… can’t say that isn’t one of the cutest names you have heard in awhile right!? Anyways Harper is Courtney and Andy’s little girl. I have done quite a few sessions for Courtney and her family over the past year from birthday parties, to family photos, to well you name it really. She has been one of my biggest advocates and has referred many other clients to my services. I was super excited when she asked me if I was available to come out and shoot Harper’s one month photos. She’s an adorable baby how could you say no? She was such an expression 1 month old. Check out some of her cute photos she took during our session… I see future model in the works. Haha.

So lately I have been doing a lot of senior portrait work on the side of my usual weddings and I have to say Chelsea was by far one of my best seniors of this year. Most of the time senior portraits are the first real time these kids have really gotten in front of a camera that is only focused on shooting them. It can be quite intimidating, and I understand that so usually I try to joke around and make things fun. However Chelsea was a natural! She knew the types of poses she wanted and was throwing out ideas left and right on where to go and how to stand. Usually that’s my job! Man is her brother going to have alot to live up to when I shoot his photos next month! All in all though she did a great job. Check out some of her photos here.

Mary and Don were a fantastic couple to work with. Their wedding was in May. Yes here we go again with the behind on blogging. Anyways, they were both wonderful to work with. They were super nice including everyone in the bridal party to the parents and rest of the family. The wedding started in Parma and ended in Strongsville at Michauds Town n Country. We even made a quick pit stop on our way to Michauds for Mary to grab a few photos with her beloved pooch! He was super scared of the camera but was still adorable.  Check out a few of their photos from their awesome spring wedding.

So lets start this off by saying… yeah I am alittle behind on my blogging. I have about 10 sessions I have done that need to be blog. The funny thing about starting off with this one is that in a few post your going to see baby Abbys 1 month photos because she is already here and almost 2 months by now. So going back to what I said before yeah just alittle behind. Please don’t be mad… I have finally bought a super quick super fast new PC so I should be a blogging, editing machine. Well that is unless life gets in the way which it tends to do. Anyways, back to what really matters the awesome session I had with Ashley and Sean. Check out just a few of their photos.
