Masterpiece

I’ve been shown up…by a one year old! Little T. wasn’t fully into having his portraits taken during tonight’s session and I think I’ve figured out why: instead of posing for pictures, he wanted to take them! Sometimes it takes a little investigative work to figure out how to pull out a smile (or at...

Siblings

I could feel tears starting to well up for a brief moment when this family first arrived for their portrait session. I’ve photographed some portion of this group about a dozen times in the past several years and, while I love sooo many of my clients, this family holds a very special place in my...

Joy

I’ve been working on holiday greeting card designs this weekend and have a bit of the winter bug right now (even though Hocus Pocus is playing the background and I spent this morning adventuring through a corn maze with friends). I just saw my first Christmas commercial a few minutes ago and earlier this evening...

LOVE

I just love this family. While I’m quite certain that every family I’ve photographed truly loves each other, there’s a special magic to this one. Miss A’s parents are so incredibly adoring of her and she of them. When I set aside time to photograph her by herself, she said as sweetly as could be...

On the Farm

There’s absolutely no question about it. We need to get animals to make our farmhouse part of a farm. I don’t know if we’ve had a child here yet who hasn’t asked us where the animals are: Mr M. this evening was no exception. I showed him where horses used to sleep, holes that groundhogs...

Nashville to Home

I’m still a little heartbroken that we didn’t make the big move down to Tennessee, but tonight Nashville came to us! This amazing dad flew in with his two boys and paid a visit: he’d never had quality images taken with the three of them together. I took this (as well their playful personalities) as...

F is for Family

Miss K gets the spotlight tonight. Her mama built the entire family’s wardrobe around her sweater that features a basset (who reminded her of our Jenkins!) Not yet two, she’s already starting to chatter up a storm and loved picking flowers out in the field. Her baby brother was intrigued by everything around him. He...

Here and Gone

I love that this senior portrait session turned into a celebration of brotherhood and growing up. Between typical yearbook headshots being taken by a school-assigned photographer and a senior guy not wanting all the fuss of outfit changes, we focused quite a bit on this sibling relationship. After all, there are only a few, short...

Granville Countryside

I spent this lovely evening on a hundred acre farm here in Granville. I arrived early to scout out locations and was delighted to have the two oldest boys and their puppy drive me around the property, pointing out their favorite spots (these two especially reminded me of my brothers). They showed me the soybean...

Growing Up

I first photographed Miss M a year ago when she was a few months old. Now, at just over a year old, it seems like she’s nearly the same size, but has simply sprouted up towards the sky. It’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed. Even since I last saw her in the...
