Fun Engagement Session

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Kelly and Gary!! Despite a LOT of challenges we had a great time!! Our plan was to take some photos at their house with their dogs and then head to campus for some fun shots at places that were meaningful to the two of them. The house shots with the pups went great, despite the distraction of the occasional squirrel or neighboring dog! We were planning on going to the coffee shop where they met to take some cool shots there. But when we got there we got a big surprise...they were closed for the weekend!!! Oh No!! We took some shots out front which actually turned out really cute...then we were off to the Shoe....or so we thought!! When we arrived, there was a high school football game going on and there was a GIANT truck parked out front taking up all of the prime photo spots!! Despite all of this, we still got a lot of cute shots!!! It was a very fun day and I can't wait to shoot their wedding!!!

Had to stop at Buckeye Donuts for a few sweet treats!!

Uh Oh...Gary wanted a bite of Kelly's donut!!

I love this one...she's got the best laugh!!

Just walking down High Street :)

This is one of my favorites...out in front of Brenen's, I told them I needed to "test the lighting"...classic photog trick!! :)

Look at that tiny puppy!!! I tried to kidnap her!! :)

The new family, walking down the street!!

Notice the distraction of Murphy, I think this time it was a bird! Ha Ha Ha



What a fun shoot!! Please leave some comments and let me know what you guys think!!

A few more from the AF project!

Okay, so the project is done and the event was a hit...but because I was soo busy getting stuff ready for the event, I have not had a chance to post a few pics of two great guys that I had the pleasure of working with!!! Both choose to remain anonymous...so no names...sorry! :)

But these photos were so much fun..check them out and tell me what you think!!

Love his expression!

Love the smile on this one!

Some have called this a Marlboro ad!

This one was Troy's idea...while we were shooting, so I tried it.
What do you think?

This one was a fan favorite at the event!

I'm such a sucker for a smile! :)

We have a name!!

Hey guys!

So...I had a very busy weekend when I was last in Columbus! Three shoots for my project..that, by the way now has a name....Anonymously Famous! Love it? I do!! Here are 6 shots from my first couple shoot! They turned out amazing and completely ambiguous as I was hoping they would!! I love them! The goals was sexy, not skanky and just sensuous. I wanted to depict how different men and women are while at the same time showing the beauty in those differences!

Tell me what you think!!!!!

Love the over the shoulder gaze!

Pretty sure this is my favorite from the shoot...love the sexy smile!

Louis Vuitton called and asked me to take this one!
I wish!!!

I love the quietness of this one.

This one looks as if they are sharing a secret!
Absolutely perfect for this project!

Sexy!! So intimate!

Annie and Chris ~ 12.27.08

Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Annie and Chris...my newest Mr. and Mrs. What a perfect day! This wedding was actually very unique for me in the sense that I had never met the couple until the day of the wedding! They live in Florida and there was never a convenient time for us to meet in person...but after a few long phone calls and countless emails we really got to know each other, which made for a very fun evening!

Annie was absolutely stunning in her ivory strapless gown and the groom was very handsome in his tux!! These two were so adorable together...truly meant to be. From getting ready at the Renaissance to the last dance at Windows on the River...this day was absolutely perfect! Todd and I wish the best to the new Mr. and Mrs.

Here are a few...okay 10...photos from the wedding! (I couldn't narrow it down any more...there were so many that I like!!) Take a look and leave some comments for Annie and Chris!!
