2016: Wahl Family

For several years, I was so busy taking all of my clients holiday photos in the fall, that I didn't have time for my own family.  I now schedule myself in my own calendar because it is important to me. We chose my husband's sportsman's club just south of where we live.  We are sitting on the trap range and the beautiful fall colors behind us. 

Our Llewsie girl, just shy of 2 years old.  She knows this land well and loves to run through the woods chasing birds.

They do really like each other.

Happy Holidays from the Wahls!

I'm looking forward to 2017 with all of my wonderful clients.

2016: Kefalas Family

I met the lovely Kefalas family at East Coast Martial Arts.  They have a beautiful home that was the perfect laid back location. 

Constantine, Johnny, Harrison and Arianna bring lots of joy to this family. 

They have a unique birthday bond.  Baby Constantine was celebrating his first birthday just a week after these photos.  Arianna's birthday was just days later, then Harrison and Johnny share the same birthday 4 years apart. 

2016: Griffith girls

Miss Emma, isn't she darling?   She's 19 months and her mama and I are not sure where the time has gone. Emma is Julian's little sister and we announced that she would be arriving here. 

It was definitely time for pictures of herself as she is about to become a big sister!

Jamie and Bed are big OSU fans and what a great way to start this little boy or girl out!

Jamie had this beautiful idea and trusted me enough to try it out.  Super excited to try something new.  It turned out beautifully. 

2016: The Arnold Family

Mini-sessions again for the Arnold Family!  I love when they come visit me.  

2016: Ana's First Birthday

Oh Ana....how you melt your mommy and daddy's heart...they have waited a long time for you.

Ana was about over her photo session, until the cake came out!

 Ana was really digging into her cake.  She was a little unsure, but kept going for it!

2016: Andrew, Class of 2017

 This senior session was extra special to me.  Andrew, Nordonia High School Class of 2017.

 Andrew is my nephew and was a ring bear in my wedding.   He is on the cross country and track teams at his school.   He is sweet, kind, and still will give his old aunt a hug!

We had to do a few shots with Andrew's cousin Tommy from the other side of the family.  They are best friends, cousins, seniors at the same school.  Andrew and Tommy were both adopted from the same Russian orphanage by twin sisters, just weeks apart from each other.  I think that bond will carry them through a lifetime.   Best of Luck next year Andrew and Tommy!

2016: Christin, Class of 2017

Christen, Perry High School Class of 2017

Christen was super easy going, brought props and knew what she wanted.  Love it!

 Christen is a great student, loves school, art and reading.    Can't wait to see what this girl does with her life!

2016: Logan, Class of 2017

I first met Logan as my children's karate teacher/assistant.  He is so kind and patient with all of the kids. Logan is a senior at Jackson High School, graduting this may.  He really loves karate, ju-jitsu, and lacrosse.  

Just a few to showcare his karate strength.    Logan is going to stick close to home next year and attend the University of Akron.
