Our 2010 Charity: The Mid Ohio Food Bank

We had a great year in 2009 raising money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Thank you to all of our wonderful clients who helped us raise money toward this worthy cause.

We are so happy to announce our new charity for 2010. This year we decided to keep our donations local and donate to the Mid Ohio Food Bank. Did you know that this awesome charity can turn your $5.00 donation into $40.00 worth of groceries for those in need. And sadly there are many in need right here in our local community. In 2009 the Mid Ohio Food Bank provided over 47,000 meals a day to people right here in central Ohio!

We're here to help! A portion of each of our sales in 2010 will go to this amazing cause. To make a donation today please visit http://www.midohiofoodbank.org/

Thanks again to all of our great clients and we hope to see you again in 2010!

Angela & Derrick November 2009

We had the pleasure of shooting Angela & Derricks wedding in November. I already knew that this was a great couple from our first meeting and our great Engagement Session we did earlier this year. And the wedding did not disappoint. Every detail was perfection, from the amazing saxophone player during the ceremony all the way to the fun and vibrant choreographed first dance. Here is just a small sampling of the special moments we captured from this great day!

The beautiful bride!

I love the soft effect of this shot including all the great details from Angela's veil all the way down to the lovely flowers.

The handsome (and hilarious) Groom!

See I told you he was funny! He always seems to have Angela laughing. I'm pretty sure that's what makes a great partner!

Love love love this one. They both have these little grins on their faces that are totally contagious!

Congratulations Angela & Derrick!

Tyson

I was so happy when Kelly and Ryan contacted me to shoot their little guy Tyson! I actually shot Kelly and Ryan's engagement pictures in this same park a couple years ago and it was so beautiful in the fall. So I knew right away it would be the perfect backdrop for pics of Tyson. And I don't think I've ever met a happier little boy! What a great day and a super cute family.

This was the second photo I shot of Tyson and already he was smiling and laughing at me (smile provided by Aunt Brenda who was at the shoot with us and just cracking this little guy up!)

I know baby's shouldn't suck their fingers but seriously how cute do they look when they are doing it?! Love this one!

Oh that little baby face and those beautiful blue eyes!

I love this one of Mommy and Tyson. They colors that day were an awesome backdrop for this cute little pic. Kelly looks so sweet watching her baby boy!

Sometimes Daddy makes a really good prop! Sorry, Ryan that we don't have one of your face but I just couldn't pass this one up. At least you have a strong shoulder for Tyson to lean on!

Shea Connor

I had the pleasure of shooting Trevin and Shawn's wedding last November so when I got the email that Trevin was pregnant and wanted me to shoot their newest family member I was so excited. Baby Boy Shea Connor was only three weeks old for these pictures but believe me this little man already has style and his poses down. Who knew they made tiny little button down flannels and corduroy's for newborns! I love it!

Now I have to say that not everyone looks this darn cute yawning! I just want to pinch those little cheeks!

It's really rare that I can get such a little one to look at my camera but Shea had a knack for finding me and striking a little baby pose!

I love this one of Mommy and Shea. They both look so natural and at ease.

And we can't leave out Daddy and his Baby Boy! I have a feeling that this little guy is gonna get tons of snuggles and kisses for a long long time.

Congratulations you guys! Hope to keep shooting this little guy as he grows up to be a big guy!
