A Fourteen Year Wait....

After fourteen years....finally a family picture! -- You guys have a great family and I really enjoyed taking the pictures and getting to know you all!

Best Friends!!

Carol and Charlotte have been best friends at least as long as I am old. So I think a couple photos were far overdue. Hope you both enjoy!

The Martin Family Photo Shoot

I had so much fun with this family...I hope to be able to do pictures in the snow with them too...they are such sweet kids and they are all so different. Hear are the top pics of the session. Hope you enjoy!

Port. 2 Class - Top 7

In no certain order these are the top 7 Pictures that I printed and turned in to class in Portrait 2 Class...I had a great time in the class overall and learned a lot, thank you to all my models and teachers and friends for your help getting all the projects done and turned in.

Enjoy!

Model: Sam

Sam was a great model..things were somewhat last minute and Sam was totally up for it and we had a great time taking the pictures...I hope to be able to do it again soon...these pictures were taken down town Dayton and in Fairborn (Thanks Adriene and Blaine for the use of your swing.)

I would love to know which one is your favorite?

Class Projects... OIP&T Port 4 Class

These are some prints I turned in for class...they were all fun and interesting for sure..but everything was just good to learn and I am glad I had a good time learning..thanks too all my models....Sam, Alicia, Candice, Mark, Kasey, Katie, and of course the biggest help Libby!

I overcame rain, freezing cold weather, tons of wind, broken equipment, lighting issues, day-light savings time, clearing running out of time and many other things and I still pulled off some fun stuff and I would say that overall I am glad I did it because now I know what could possibly happen and how I can still get through it.

Project to make a postcard size promotional piece.

Sam modeling for me at Lutheran Peace Church in Beavercreek. Special Thanks to the Church for letting me do such a last minute photo shoot in there church. Everyone was helpful and welcoming!

Katie Modeling for me in the freezing cold...Thank you again so much!
Trying to stay warm in her husbands suit jacket.

Bride on Location was the project for Alicia's Photo Shoot.
She did great we went all over Carey to all sorts of crazy places just
to see what we could find and what I could do with it.

Candice was my Studio Bride Project and she got taken by another photographer too and thanks for being so flexible and helping out for Ashley's project too that night.

This project was crazy nuts...the whole class shot it together and it sorta took the whole class to get it all set up and shot. All we needed was a leaf blower to come through to make the whole shoot just that much more crazy....(we had rain, crazy lights, cold, dark, etc.) But we all still got a pretty good shot through it all!

Kayla Senior Pictures

Kayla-Class of 2010--Bluffton High School
I had so much fun taking her pictures now I am just playing with them and seeing what I think about different ways of Photoshop them. I would say overall I think photoshop is a awesome program for photographers but god it is annoying too...and I wish it has a mind reading function that could just see what I wanted to have the picture look like and it would just do it...

Did have a good time taking these pictures through thanks for being so willing to do whatever and being so flexible Kayla!

Crazy enough we got all these pictures done at her new home which worked out great!
