I’m remodeling my house, and on one of my many trips to the flooring store, I spotted a beautiful field in the middle of an industrial area. Not wanting to forget where it was located, I decided to photograph my great-niece. For some added flair, we used the next-door parking lot for a more urban vibe.
One of the best compliments is when friends asks me to photograph them. In this case, my friend is the owner and lead designer for Fezz and Hazel, a luxury floral design company here in Columbus.
Her instructions were clear: She wanted non-standard shots that were moody and dramatic — and also featured a floral sculpture she’d recently created: So that’s what I did.
Heather is a great sport, but when I told her to hold the stem of a flower between her teeth and look, expressionless, at the camera, she had a little trouble doing it without laughing — and the last three images in this set are her trying to compose herself.
I’m biased, I’ll admit it, but my great-nephew is so photogenic. I took him out one afternoon to do some style shots and, as always, he did a great job. There’s something about that late-winter sun!
This photo session took us to Destin, Florida. It was autumn in Ohio, so the tropical weather was a welcome reprieve! We photographed this foursome at a local park, which is situated right up against a bayou and made a beautiful backdrop.
If there are siblings who are closer, we’ve never met them. For this Everyday session, we decided on a different take and combined posed shots with candid captures that showed these three interacting authentically - and what a good decision it was!
We took the show on the road to Cleveland for this couple’s session. An abandoned observatory and some spots in the Flats added so much atmosphere to this pair’s images! Couples in love are such fun to photograph.
On a recent trip to Columbus, these two Southerners had a photo session — and we couldn’t be happier with the results! The weather and light were perfect (although they were a little cold), so we strolled around German Village and then moved to downtown for a more urban vibe.
They were so fun and we think their personalities shine in the photos!
So different and such cuties! We took advantage of the warm fall weather to get some pics of these sisters at a local park.
We think the first three photos could be album covers. Not CD inserts -- an actual "put the needle on the record" album cover made of cardboard with a vinyl disc inside.
The location -- well, spectacular, IMHO: Abandoned, falling apart (one of us nearly fell through the floor at one point!), and oozing that long-lost "Americana" feeling that fits this family so well. Husband and son had agreed to an allotted amount of time for pictures but we were all having so much fun that I don't think either of them minded that the shoot time was extended. Maybe. :)
