Condom Couture 2010 – Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio

Thursday, October 14, 2010

My dear friend Karen Lynch and I were delighted to photograph the third annual Condom Couture fashion show put on as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood of Central Ohio. Columbus College of Art & Design fashion design students each made a design constructed of at least 700 condoms, and they were beautiful. The whole event felt Project Runway-esque, and one of the judges was even a Season 5 Project Runway contestant. It was a great event full of amazing energy and for a good cause. You won’t want to miss the show next year!

Enjoy some photos from the event!

Michelle’s belly session – Columbus Ohio

Thursday, October 14, 2010

I photographed Michelle and Mike’s wedding over a year ago and was so excited when Michelle told me she was expecting a new brother or sister for her daughter Taylor. Her timing was perfect, coinciding with the announcement of my Real Life Forever portrait program, so we decided we’d get together now for the belly shoot and then after the first of the year for a baby session. This is such a wonderfully special time in the life of their family and I’m honored to photograph this for them!

Here are some of my favorite images from our session:

Melissa and Tom’s family – Columbus Ohio family portraits

Thursday, October 14, 2010

A few years back, I photographed Melissa and Tom’s wedding. We’ve since gotten together a couple times for portraits – once when Melissa was carrying Lily and then just recently with Lily and her little brother Henry. Lily is such a sweet little girl and it melted my heart that during our walk in the woods she insisted on holding my hand. It was a beautiful morning for portraits and it was great spending time with Melissa and Tom’s family. The nice thing is that because of my Real Life Forever portrait program for clients, we can do this every year!!

Here are some pictures of their beautiful family:

We did a shot like this – on the stairs with Greta the dog – during Melissa’s maternity session. How fun it was to recreate the shot with Lily and Henry.
