Lauren class of 2009 {toledo modern senior portrait photographer}

On Saturday I also photographed Lauren for her senior portraits, it was a ton of fun. Lauren had a lot of ideas that she came with which is great because that way these can show her personality.

Here are a few from the session…

Enjoy!

I had a little fun with this shot, I am not always a color spot girl but I liked how her nails and eyes matched

This is my favorite, and I loved the location, it took a little climbing, balancing and maneuvering to get there but I think it was worth it

comments always appreciated.

Our cards have a minimum order of 25 and the first 25 cards cost $35 and then $10 for each extra set of 10 after that.  These cards can be from your wedding photos, a family session we already did or schedule a family session for the month of October to get some current images for your christmas cards.

Thank you for letting us be part of your day. You both looked fabulous and so in love!

Have a great honeymoon

Smith Family {toledo family photographer}

Alright, half of us are not smith’s anymore but we did some family portraits the other week with my parents, sister, brother in law, and nephew and grandma. It is odd to be on the other side of the camera for some but we had a good time We will have to hire one of our photographer friends to do the family portraits next time because to get all of us in it we needed to use a tripod and a timer and it’s not the same

Here are a few photos of my family

I never thought my sister and I looked much alike until looking at the photo below

At some points the summer went too fast and others too slow But the love from my family and the bond we all have helps you celebrate the good and pick you up from the bad, and I am lucky to have the family I do and I know we can get through anything with the love and support of each other. Thank you!

NEW PRODUCTS!!!! new one of a kind products :)

We are beyond excited to be able to offer you a one of a kind product only offer here

One of our past brides is a fabulous artist and when we found out she paints portraits we had to check it out and they are spectacular!  We just had to offer them to our clients.  So now you can still get a regular photograph, a photograph printed on canvas and a one of a kind painting from one of our photographs.  She did a few samples from some of our work and they turned out beyond great!  You will have to stop in the studio to see them up close but here are a few images of them.

You can get a painting for only $75 more than a canvas photograph, they start at a 12×12 size for only $275, for this one of a kind, hand painted piece of artwork that is a great deal!  Just to clarify these are not photoshop manipulated to look like a painting they are actually painted by our beautiful and very talented former bride Robin.  You may remember her wedding where she made all her own tissue paper flower, etc.

These can be done from one of our past sessions or wedding or any of our future one.  What a great heirloom to have in the family for years and  years to come

Contact us is you want more information or if you would like to stop in and see some of the samples, they are fabulous!

Michelle + James = I Do {toledo wedding photographer}

On the 13th of September we had the great pleasure of photographing Michelle and Jame’s wedding. The day may have started off with a lot of rain but it managed to stop so we could do a few outside photos at the gardens of Brandywine Country Club. And rain is suppose to mean wealth, so you should have a lot of it

It was a great wedding with a fabulous couple and here is a sneak peek…..

Enjoy!

oh and did I mention it was another case of high school sweethearts…. LOVE IT !
