Smith Family:: Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer

I am so blessed to have amazing friends and family who appreciate my work, and look forward to, and book sessions months in advance. Yvonne knew her family would be in town and one of her main priorities was getting family photos. Ben is in the military, and seems to be gone more often than not, so it is sometimes hard for them to get the entire family in one photo.

The kids were rambunctious, but a blast! They are just a beautiful family and add a beautiful setting and lighting, and you have an amazing session!!!

Pamela and Joe Engagement Session:: Columbus, Ohio Wedding Photographer

I am sooo excited!! In a little over two weeks I get the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple's wedding. They will be exchanging vows at the Marble head Lighthouse, and I cannot wait!! 

Of course, included in every wedding package is a complimentary engagement session. I LOVE engagement sessions for a number of reasons, but one of them is because it give me the opportunity to get to know the couple a little better. I may already know one, or BOTH of them already, but it helps me see how they interact together. I get to see their personalities, and how adventurous they are:-)

Pam and Joe are a GREAT couple to work with! You can tell by the way they look at each other they are truly in love. They joke, and laugh, and are all around an easy going couple. I see an amazing wedding day in the future! Did I mention after the reception, I am heading with the bride and groom and the entire wedding party to Cedar Point!?!?!? They will all still be in their dresses!! I cannot WAIT for those photos!!

Until then, here are the photos from their engagement session:-)

Family Photos

I have posted newborn photos and maternity photos. Today I am going to post a few of my recent family photo shoots. Family shoots were probably my hardest shoots to get into the "groove". There are a lot more people to coordinate and harder, in my opinion, to be more creative. However, I finally started to get it. It is all about keeping the kid's attention in order to keep stress off the parents. If the kids are upset, then the family gets upset, and then the entire shoot is shot (and not in the way we want it to be). If you keep the kids engaged, then the parents are happy and then the pictures start to come together.

Outdoor is almost always a hit with little ones, because they can play and run around. However, around Christmas, and during the winter, it gets cold, and I resort to the studio for those who don't want to venture in the cold. Toys and props are a MUST for the young kids. I noticed if I get them involved, and having fun, we get some great shots!!
