Becky

A friend, a photographer, my second shooter, an amazing cake decorator, a wife, a daughter, a sister, & the mother of the cutest little boy ever, a business owner, a HUGE Dave Matthew's Band fan, a world traveler, a passionate hot air balloonist, a graduate of University of Dayton & Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology, an independent thinker, and my boss. Becky is the owner of elé Cake Co. where I take and work with photos of the tasty works of art that are made at elé. Becky is one of the most interesting people I have had the chance to know and be friends with. I got the chance to shoot a head shot of her the other day at work and had to share!

Baker Family

Sage, the four-legged member of the family, was very confused while getting her picture taken. She could not wrap her mind around what we were doing, she was trying to sit and stay as told but wanted to come help me take the pictures... :-)

At any rate, I have a wonderful time capturing this family in photographs and as I look over the images I love how the session really shows them as a family. We were taking photos at their home which is actually eight miles from the nearest town but believe it or not I actually enjoyed the peacefulness of the country while capturing their life's moments that day!

Through all the years that they have lived in their home, they have hundreds of pictures of everyone on these stairs. Which makes me like this shot just that much more!

Alicia and her Sweethearts

Alicia and I have known each other for years, so I have had the opportunity to see these two little boys grew up! It is so amazing to me, how fast they grow and how adorable they can be! Last year (almost to the date) I had the chance to take their family pictures as well, as it is almost unbelievable how much they have grown. Even though they are brothers, their personalities are completely different. It will be interesting to see how they will continue to grow up! Alicia does win the mommy of the year award, she is such a great mom and they both simply adore her & her famous chicken! :-)

Ashleigh's Senior Shots - Sneak Peek

Ashleigh is a soon to be Carey High School Graduate! I had the chance to snap a few senior portraits of Ashleigh this past weekend while we were taking family portraits with her mom, dad, and brother.

Ashleigh is hoping to move to Texas in the fall and study to become an OB/GYN. And I wish her the best even though I am slightly jealous that she will not have to deal with snow down there in Texas.

Tackett Family

In Ohio the weather is anything but predictable! As it was about 30-40 degrees all week I was sure winter was well on its way, although we were blessed to have 60 degree weather all weekend, making for a perfect time to snap some great family portraits!

Angel, Scott, Ashleigh, & Brice were a blast to spend the afternoon with and I really had a great time getting to know them. As I have known Angel for some time, I have not had the chance to spend much time getting to know Scott, Ashleigh, & Brice before this weekend.

Capturing your family's personality in photographs was an enjoyable experience, and I hope to do it in years to come as well!!

Your family rocks! :-) Can't wait for the next photo shoot!

A Day of Decorating...

When Mom and Dad are away, the kids WILL make a mess! :-)

This past week I got the chance to hang out with the coolest two kids I know! Emily and Evan!

We spent the entire morning and afternoon playing with frosting, fondant, and generally making the entire kitchen a complete mess! We had a blast! I brought some elé cupcakes and famous buttercream up to their home to get the decorating party started!

(Little did I know I would be cleaning the kitchen for over an hour afterwards

...but it was totally worth it!)

Emily is known as the "Cupcake Boss" in our family and loved every moment and was decorating her cupcakes with flowers and a paw prints. She even made a puppy dog out of fondant for one of her cupcakes. But after we decorated them I ask her if she would like to eat one, and she said "No, I don't really want to eat cupcakes, I just like to decorate them."

I wish I had that problem! That must be her secret to keeping so slim!

While Evan was trying very hard to complete the vision in his head to make a frog out of fondant for his cupcake. Since I have no decorating skills to speak of, I was not much help to him. He had some green fondant in a frog like form but was not happy with it. And said to me with a very serious tone of voice and a concerned expression on his face,

"I have to put this cupcake back in a box that says 'TASTY WORKS OF ART' and this is like a tasty work of crap!!" He is so sweet and tries so hard and I thought he did a pretty job but he must not of thought so highly of his work! But he is just so cute!

A New Friend....

I recently have been employed at elé Cake Company in West Carrollton as a Photographer of Tasty Works of Art! I enjoy most every part of being involved in the Company. I have gotten to know some really awesome people. Brandon is one of those awesome people, he is someone I met just one day into the job. Brandon is a Customer Service Lead at elé Cake Co. making him the youngest Lead elé Cake Co. has ever had! He is a ton of fun to be around, he can always bring a smile to your face! I am always greeted by him with a smile and a hug, who doesn't like to start their day in such a fashion. Now I have to admit that in some friendly competition he can decorate a cupcake better than myself, but not for long I've been practicing. :-)

Brandon's laugh has got to be his best feature! His laugh is tremendously contagious!

Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Casemier Sneak Peek

With autumn in the air, and the wind in Ohio blowing and blowing, Karen and Kevin tied the knot at First United Methodist Church in Bluffton. As the Bride and Groom finished getting ready for the day, the guests were gathering in the church. Beautiful music was filling the air and the ceremony was about to start...

The Bride looked so beautiful and elegant as her father walked her down the aisle to give her away. And the Groom couldn't take his eyes off her! The two became man and wife!

It was an honor to be apart of such a special day! It could not have been a more perfect memorable event! I wish you both all the happiness in the world!!

Miss Nicole (Flower Girl) gave the sweetest rendition of

"Over the Rainbow" any of us had ever heard!

Karen had to take a peek!

The first dance as husband and wife!

The perfect father-daughter moment!
