Susan and Ryan – Columbus Ohio Wedding Photographer

Last Saturday, I drove out to literally the midde of nowhere to photograph my youngest sister Susan’s wedding to Ryan, who fits in with our family almost like he was born into (but not quite, because that would be weird, not to mention illegal). More often than not, as may be with a lot of families, most times I bring a camera around, my siblings and my mom, especially, stick their hands up in front of their faces or stick out their tongues, making getting a good clean image of them practically impossible. Trust me, they were all warned months ago that doing this at Susan’s wedding was a no-no, and I’m happy to report that everyone complied.

I had a lot of fun hanging out with my sister and combining sisterly duties with my photographer duties, and was really pleased that my parents got to see me in action doing a job I’m very proud of and lucky to have.

Let’s look at some pictures.

Congratulations, baby sister!

Nicholas and Kendal – Columbus Ohio portrait photographer

Last week, I got to spend some quality time with my dear friend and former bride Shawnda and take some photographs of her beautiful and growing family. In addition to precocious Kendal Mae, there’s a new baby brother, Nicholas. Kendal has become a laugh riot since I last saw her, with a big vocabulary and adorably funny personality, and baby Nicholas is as sweet and pleasant as he could be. I loved hanging out with them all and here are a few of my favorites from our session in their home.













Cakes for a Cause – Sassafras Bakery

Last night, I attended my very first silent auction, and boy did I pick a tasty one! My wedding planner friend Emilie Duncan and my new wedding planner friend Kasey Conyers hosted Cakes for a Cause to benefit Mid-Ohio Foodbank during their annual Operation Feed campaign. What a great, successful evening it was. Lots of bids and lots of money raised to provide meals for those in need.

And I’m happy to report that after much stalking and hovering, and a last-minute sniper bid, I won the coveted Signature Apple Pie baked by the fabulous AJ Perry of
Sassafras Bakery. Yum Yum.

While there were lots of photographers shooting away last night, I left my camera at home to concentrate on fun conversations with friends and colleagues, but today when I broke out my prize, I had to take a couple of snaps as I munched the first delectable piece (the first of many, I might add!). This is one sweet pie, so if you’re ever in need for a homebaked fix, look up Sassafras Bakery.

Feast your eyes:

I'm making that Homer Simpson "hlalhlahah" sound and drooling while looking at those photos!

[…] to be held on March 1. If you’ll remember, last year I sniped a last-minute winning bid for Sassafras Bakery’s AMAZING apple pie, which was made even sweeter knowing that every penny of my winning bid went straight into Mid-Ohio […]
