Belly(s) session

My two beautiful nieces are having babies a few weeks apart from one another. How fun this is for these two sisters to share all the aches, pains & fun of pregnancy. Big brother Noah sat in for some shots with Aunt & Mommy, too! I couldn't post these until now since these shots were Father's Day surprises. Can't wait for the double newborn session!

Sweet Little Julia

I was so happy to meet Julia today. I have known her parents for some time & am thrilled to see them becoming a family. Daddy just had to walk in front of Julia & talk to her to get a big smile - it's amazing how she's become such a Daddy's Girl in 3 short months! She did not, however, like the lady bug outfit!!

More from Nicolle & Chad

Wedding at The Toledo Zoo

Nicolle & Chad held their wedding in the beautiful gardens at The Toledo Zoo. It was an absolutely incredible day - no humidity, sun & warmth! I love unique venues & personal touches to ceremonies - they had a wine & love letter ceremony. They wrote love letters to each other & put them in a chest to be opened on their 10th anniversary. Very sweet!

Photogenic Bride & Groom

Lyndsey & Zack looked stunning on their wedding day - very easy to photograph! We did some shots at the Art Museum and on the grounds of Heatherdowns Country Club where the reception was held.

Wedding catch ups

Trying to get caught up on editing weddings. Only 3 behind currently!!! Here are some shots from Lyndsey & Zack's wedding on June 3rd. They are high school sweethearts & were so loving & sweet to one another! The service was very touching as Lyndsey's dad performed the ceremony - his first wedding ceremony - no pressure there! You did a wonderful job, Ken.

Church: Bethel Assembly of God, Perrysburg

Drummer Boy!

I had a special session today... Cooper was our neighbor several years ago, when he was just a little kid running around the neighborhood! It's so hard to imagine that he's going to be a senior at Lake this year. He was so cooperative with Mom by bringing along his entire drum set for some shots at the park. Thanx for jammin' for us, Cooper - you sound great! Enjoy your summer & have a great Senior Year!! Love ya~!

Siblings Along the River

Emma & Colin came to the mini session with their Dad-probably a good thing. Mom may not have been too happy with them climbing down on the rocks and mud in their cute, little sandals! Well, they had a good time!

Noah

I love it when I get to photograph babies every few months. It's so fun to see Noah growing & becoming even cuter each time I see him. He was another of my "perfect" babes today! I could have completed his session after 3 minutes - he just sat where we put him & smiled the whole time! Can't wait for your 1st birthday session, Noah!

Mini sessions

Connor is such a sweet little guy - he loved exploring along the riverfront! Happy 3rd Birthday, Connor!

Side Cut Mini Sessions

A big Thanx to all the families that came to my mini session today at Side Cut, "Along the River". We lucked out again this month with great weather for the special. We ran the gamut today with kids who were amazingly cooperative and those that were a bit more challenging. I always assure parents that we will get some great images just by following the kiddos around & getting some candid shots.

Little Ruby would have just sat in the grass and smiled as long as we would have left her there-how adorable! Big sister Stella has always put up a fuss when having her pictures taken - I think her parents will be pleasantly surprised at the images we got! They are such cuties. We were able to get a few shots with little cousin, Charlotte. They will all laugh one day at those shots - Ruby content & smiling, Stella fussin' and Charlotte just hangin' out!

Today I had an early senior from Lake and a late senior from Whitmer. Clients ask me all the time when is the right time to have your senior portraits done--my answer; whenever it works best for you. I have definitely started shooting the Class of 2010, but am still finishing up the Class of 2009! Senior specials ongoing; raffle for limo rental for 2010 seniors, 2 for 1 specials, rep specials...call for more info.

Have a safe, fun summer Tess & Cody!
