I do love photographing seniors. This beautiful young lady is from my hometown. On one of my recent trips home, I had the privilege of photographing Miss Brandi. I love how her long black hair accents her beautiful blue eyes. Enjoy the photos. Brandi, never forget you are a strong young woman!
I headed over to Dublin for some pet portraits of the adorable Copper and Penny. Here is what their Mom had to say after seeing her photos: “We’ve been admiring the photo gallery of Penny and Copper. Rick and I think they look fantastic. Especially, the photos of Copper came out beautifully, despite the fact that he was so spooked by the whole process! We will have no problem choosing photos. Lots of them are stand-outs. Thanks for your patience with us and the dogs, and making the most of that cloudy day.” I love to make my clients happy!
I had a blast at WAG! Fest. By the end of the day I was exhausted and sunburnt but it was so fun. My favorite part was the disc demo by Southern Ohio Flying K-9′s. It makes me want to go get a Miniature Australian Shepherd and start us both in training! The dock diving was lots of fun too. There are so many water activities for the dogs at WAG! Fest. If you didn’t make it out this year, I recommend that you try to make it out next year. Your doggy will thank you for it!

These are some images from a Pittsburgh travel session I did in Alley and Oakley’s yard with their boys.
meet Elvis the mini donkey and his friends Bindert (Friesian) and his best friend Peaches (Arabian).
This is the 3rd session out of four “A Year in the life” sessions for little Miss Trudi. She is so fun, yet challenging, to photograph! She is a little ball of energy! Not surprising since she is a West Highland White Terrier. I still cannot get over her sweetness. She just LOVES, I mean LOVES, everyone, no matter if they are human, dog, cat or anything else. I can’t wait to see her next time!
Baby O is on his 2nd of three photo sessions for his Baby’s 1st Year plan. I love to see these babies as they grow. It never ceases to amaze me how fast they change and learn. Little O is a real sweetheart. He was all smiles, never cried or complained once as we drug him around Inniswood Metro Gardens.
I rarely share on my business blog photos of my own son, but I really like these and thought they were fun and summery and he was being very natural, so I have lots of natural smiles. HOWEVER, these are also a great example of WHAT-NOT-TO-WEAR for a photo session. Notice the character shirt (a big no-no), the bright red (I’m not a fan of red clothing in portraits because it grabs the attention away from the subject) and the gray athletic shorts. But this is what he had on at the time and I didn’t want to ruin the moment, plus we were just having some fun. These were taken at my Parents’ place. They have this swing in a tree in the front yard. The road is right beside here and it took some creative framing and angles to not show it in the photos. Anyway, enjoy the photos. I hope they bring back some childhood memories of your own.
Voting to determine what pets are going to go in the 2012 SOS calendar is underway. Go here to cast your vote for your favorite(s). All winners also get great prizes, besides getting into the calendar. Votes are only $1 each with a 5 vote minimum purchase. All proceeds from the voting go to Shelter Outreach Services of Ohio, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic. SOS helps many rescues and shelters with spay/neuter and basic veterinary care for their adoptable animals, and many of the rescues could not do what they do without the services of SOS.
I met up with Emma & Lucy (Lucy is the horse) at Otterbein Equestrian Center the other night. Emma bred and raised Lucy, now 5 years old. Lucy is a not too common gray and white paint. The pair train in eventing together. What brave souls! We all know what a tough sport eventing is: 3 days, 3 different tough sports: dressage, cross-country, and show jumping, all requiring different skill sets. I have much respect for those that compete in that sport! Anyway, enjoy the photos.
