I have to skip ahead a bit…my next session was a boudoir, and a gift for a groom, but they are going to be married out of town very soon and I don’t want to ruin any surprises! So look for the boudoir session when I get back, I am leaving tomorrow for the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) big conference! I’ll be there learning and checking out new products until March 11. I’ll check emails and voice mails once in a while, so forgive me if I take a little while to get back to you!
Meet Elisabeth and Brett! These two were already officially married, but had a ceremony and reception for all of their families and friends December 26th!
We met up at the Toledo Zoo for some shots before the ceremony started. Elisabeth was amazing, it was extremely cold that day! You can’t tell from these shots because she is amazing! And my wonderful second shooter had a blanket in her car to wrap up with between shots!



Loved the butterflies with her butterfly tattoo:



It was so nice to meet you both along with your wonderful family and friends!
Ceremony and Reception: Central Park West
Second Shooter: Sarah J

I’m determined to get caught up on my list before I go to a photography conference next week…in case you did not see the note at the top of the page, we’ll be closed March 5-11th, so there may be delays in orders, emails, voicemails until after I get back. But next on my list was this adorable little guy..who shares a name with my current favorite TV show.
And I about died when I saw his room…mom has a fabulous eye for great finds and putting together such a great retro style room! She’s painted furniture, gotten cute stuff off ebay that reminds me of my childhood, and added an adorable little baby to top it off!




Love hte hat she had too! And he was such a great sleepy baby!


It was so nice to meet you both!

I’ve been so lucky through my past few years in this business to make some wonderful new friends with other small business owners. It’s so great to get to know these other women who are going through a lot of the same things I do…and I am always so flattered when they ask me to photograph them!
I was happy to run over to the Maumee Valley Country Day School Teacher’s party to take some quick shots of the yummy food that the Two Seasoned Chicks had set out. They’re so versatile, this was a whole different spread from the bridal shower I shot earlier in the year, but still so delicious! This first shot is of the best bread I ever had:


And the wonderful ladies behind the food:

Right around the same time, I ran over to the wonderful photographer, Sarah’s house for a fast Christmas session with her and her adorable son. Sarah recently moved into my hood and I ran into her while out walking the dog, I’ve been so lucky to get to know her better since then. I’m excited to be going to a big photographer’s conference with her soon! Isn’t her son so handsome?

I have been busy here again, getting galleries and orders in and out. I’m on a roll with my to-do list, so I will let this adorable little guy have the spotlight!
Mom owns the cutest boy’s clothing company, Somebubby…the little shirts and ties are adorable!!

How cute is his room?

He is so adorable!




It was so nice to meet you all! You have a beautiful family!

I had a slideshow up from Kirsten and Scot’s December wedding a little while back, but I wanted to give them a proper posting with my favorites. If you don’t remember, they wanted nothing posed…a fully photojournalistic, candid wedding. I love it!

This was such a favorite of mine…Kirsten’s dad working on his speech while everyone was getting ready.

Kirsten is gorgeous!

Kirsten and her friends grew up acting in the Toledo Rep, and the wedding ceremony had several original musical acts depicting how Scot and Kirsten met, a typical day, etc! I was SOO impressed by the talent of everyone and the show was quite entertaining!

I always love watching the parents of the couple…


A little dance on their exit:




Kirsten’s matron of honor had to go on a military tour of Iraq and miss the wedding. She was able to watch the ceremony and reception and deliver her speech through Skype…there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

The Courtyard at the Navy is such a beautiful spot for a reception!

Ceremony: Toledo Rep
Reception: Courtyard at the Navy
