2014: The Hoppe Boys

Such a nice family!   I got to know this family first through the boys father, as my doctor and friend of my mom's.  Then our boys starting going to the same preschool, now elementary school and karate dojo together. Now I am proud to call them friends, and clients too.

Cutie Ben, about to start a new adventure in Kindergarten.  Really?  Already?  And Ben earned his yellow belt in karate over the summer.

Aiden is starting third grade.  He is so smart and asks lots of questions.  Aiden is an impressive brown belt.

Says it all, doesn't it?

2014: Isabella

Isabella is another child that I have had the pleasure of photographing year after year.  Here she is just last year, during his first communion and we snuck a few pictures in during her little sister's session last fall.  Isabella turned 9 this spring.  She was so sweet and waited a few months after my shoulder surgery for her photos.  She is kind, considerate and what a beauty. 

2014: DeRosa Family

Do you remember Emily and Collin from here?  This is my third year photographing them.  Every year I see a new sparkle, maturity, and sweetness!

Their Mama Becky, is a "good egg" as we like to say.  She's a touch cookie with with a lot of love to spread.

Sweet Em!

Collin acts like he doesn't like his pictures taken, but I have his number.  He can't full me!

2014: The Griffith and Tersigni families

 I love families that have a theme!  Go BUCKEYES!  I photographed the Jamie, Ben, and cutie Julian 2 years ago. Julian was totally into his superheroes then as he is now. Jamie asked me to capture shots of her family along with her brothers, and parents. It had been nearly 5 years since they all had been together.  They were celebrating a friend's wedding and we're so happy to be with one another.

 "Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of spring stardust over the lives of little children." -Alex Hole

Julian is moving on to Kindergarten next year!  Just wait until you see and hear what this superhero has in store for everyone later this year!  

 This family had me cracking up every minute.  Fun, laughter, love, can't get better than that!

Go Buckeyes!

2014: Happy 2nd Birthday Hunter

 Hunter's Mama and I go way back to middle school. I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph Hunter for his 2nd birthday.  She even waited a month after his birthday while I was still recovering from surgery.  Remember hunter from here?  Last year it was tractors that he loved, this year it's Thomas the train!

 How about those eyes?

 There is nothing more pure than a mama's love!

Happiest of birthdays to you Hunter!

2013: Ashley, Jackson High School class of 2014

Congratulations to Ashely. She just graduated from Jackson High School. 

I so enjoyed this shoot with Ashley because she was laid back and knew what to do in front of the camera. 

I hope you have a wonderful summer Ashley!

2014: Allison's dance

 My dear friend Nicole asked me to take some different kind of photographs of her daughter Allison.  She is a competitive dancer and wanted to enter a few shots of her for a modeling segment of her competitions.  I was a bit nervous because I haven't done anything like this before.  Well something clicked and Ally's beautiful big green eyes and smile did all the work.  

The color picture on the bottom right, won her first place!   Couldn't be more excited for her!
