Gena. [Bedford High School]

I had a lot of fun with Gena, who has the absolute cutest dimples! I always love the challenge of shooting in new places, well, semi-new. I have shot here before, just not in all of THESE spots! It was a beautiful evening and the light was perfect!

Thanks for catching on to reflector 101 so quick mom, you learn fast! I always appreciate an extra set of hands with my gear on location! Oh, Gena…”Have a nice day!” ;0)

Bridal Couture!

After all the excitement was over, and we all got back to the grind, we hung out in the studio last night for a few pics…MOM STYLE! I think I want to do bridals now! I would have a ball! Anyone wanna be my first target willing subject?

Even with her everyday look and barely any makeup, that girl can pull of a gown like nobody I know! [Yes, I am bragging, she is gorgeous and moms are allowed, says me!]

Thank you!

Thank you for all the emails and well wishes for the happy couple! We appreciate your thoughts on their special day!

I didn’t photograph their wedding, I decided to be a mom that day and soak up the moments that I will cherish forever! New Image sponsored that part of the “Married on the Maumee” package, I spent my day as mother-of-the-bride…and a very proud and emotional one!

Alan safely returned to base in NC on Monday morning…terribly missed by his new bride who will be joining him there soon! I’ll tackle those emotions on another day, one meltdown at a time is all I can handle!

Take care Alan, you are missed here at home! WE LOVE YOU! Take extra special care of our daughter, she is used to the finer things in life: hour long foot rubs, gourmet chocolate, catered meals, a laundry lady, a housekeeper, weekly manicures and monthly “just because” gifts usually containing diamonds…NO PRESSURE MISTER! LOL

:::PS::: Just pluggin’ for ya’ Amanda, a girl needs all the help she can get! LOL!

Blessings for an ENDLESS LOVE.

Tomorrow is THE big day…Amanda and Alan will be married, at noon.

I can’t help but spend this day reflecting on all she has become. My gosh, where has her childhood gone?

I miss her face at my breakfast table with her messy hair and smeared mascara.

I miss her tantrums when she was frustrated, somehow a slammed door has become symbolic, it means there is a teen in my house…mad, but HOME. Now she has her own doors to slam.

I miss her eating all the chocolate and using all the hot water. I could go on as writing heals my soul.

But there is one thing that was always “SO AMANDA”…leaving her heels outside the garage door for me to trip on, all 20ish pairs of them.

MY darling daughter: May God bless your marriage with endless love, peace and happiness. May he keep Alan healthy and safe during his Marine journey, ALWAYS. May you find in Alan a completion of you, a bond that will never be broken. I am proud to call you daughter and want you to know how much JOY you have given me in your lifetime, I can hardly believe you will be a MRS.

I love you more than you will ever know. XOXO!

On a lighter note, as I wipe these tears away, I had to secretly laugh in my heart today as you appointed me your official ’shoe picker-upper’! Funny, I am still picking up your heels!  It was just a silly, lovable moment for me, I HAD TO CAPTURE IT, for you…and me. HUGS!!! My how you still love those heels!

Marissa. [Bedford High School]

TGIF!  What an awesome ending to the week~ Marissa walked into the studio ready to go with a good portion of her closet!

As a ballet student, I wanted to give her something different and non-traditional, something that evoked an emotion of grace and soul, as those are the words that I think of when I think of ballet.  She was so dang tiny, I was able to twist her into the image in my head!  I adore this shot Marissa, I hope you do to!

I know you are all probably sick of my gray paper, but it happens to be my favorite background due to it’s simplicity and tone, simple and stylish just suit me…I have alot of people ask for “GAP GRAY” when they call, so get used to seeing it, I am ordering more, in more tones too!

Thanks for being a trooper in the weeds and rain, I had a great time working/chatting with you, I felt like I was hangin’ with one of my own kids!

:::PS::: I wonder how the security guys’ morning coffee was as he reviewed the tapes! LOL!

Hillary. [Bedford High School]

Hillary and I had an absolutely FAB time! I love that she took the time, grabbed a couple friends, and scouted out the exact spots she wanted her portraits taken at! That means the world to me, being able to allow her a part in the creative process makes her images that much more special to her. It capture what she loves, and that matters!

Thanks Hillary for trusting me with turning the chair on its side, I think it lends itself to a truly unique and stylish portrait…exactly what we were after! ENJOY…and thanks mom for your patience while we got lost amongst the beauty of our surroundings, I enjoyed my time with the 3 of you! ::: HELLO JOSHUA! :::

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks so much to everyone who voted!  The hundreds and hundreds of link emails, the flyers that were created and passed around, the endless phone calls, the myspace links posted on personal pages, just WOW!  We appreciate the effort everyone put into helping the kids get votes!  THANK YOU ALL!

I spoke to her just seconds after the announcements, she was in tears and barely able to speak…and her cell phone was blowing up! LOL!

Kayla. [Bedford High School]

Kayla’s session had to be rescheduled due to my recent strep throat incident, and I thought for sure we would have to cancel again due to rain…but it held off and we had a great time!

I’ve said this 100 times before, but it needs repeating! I am so blessed to have awesome clients cross my path during my journey! I always leave my sessions feeling like I have made new friends, and I consider that a fantastic ‘benny’ in my line of work! Kayla and mom are no exception!

They were awesome to work with! Thanks Kayla for trusting me to position you amongst construction trash downtown, and mom for helping move it all! Yeah…we looked high class amongst urban rubbish as people passed by enroute to Fifth Third field!! LOL! It worked, I love to pull it out of my head and into my lens! What a creative release! Makes my heart sing!
