Will’s senior pictures – State House, Columbus Ohio

I love it when moms talk, and when the talk turns into a referral.  It probably also helps that I used to work with Will’s dad.  Nice to be trusted.

Will and mom Kathy and I met up at the State House on a chilly but constrasty/sunshiney afternoon to make some pictures of Will being Will.  He’s interested in politics, so the setting fit, and we even found a great spot on the grounds for him to demonstrate his love of the outdoors and one of the activities he’s fond of doing out there.

I love the graphic nature of our shoot and, of course, I’m a total sucker for that gorgeous light!

Katie and Travis’ family – Columbus Ohio family photos

It’s hard to believe that I photographed Katie and Travis’ wedding five years ago now.  To see them with their two young children, you’d think they’d been parents forever.  The kids are the spitting image of Katie and Travis and it’s fun for me to see that since I know them only from the context of their wedding.  It’s also fun for me to see that Ryan loves to look at mommy and daddy’s wedding album.  Brings back memories!  And, it’s nice to make some new ones and have them photographed.  Especially bath time and snuggle-on-the-bed time.

Jess and Nick – Our Lady of Peace / Creekside Conference & Event Center wedding

Jess and Nick came to me as a referral from another photographer, and when I was told that the timeline would include a visit to the Value City Arena, I was really excited (well, admittedly, after the panic of being stuck in Buckeye football traffic wore off!).  I mean, who gets to go down on the floor where the Basketball Bucks play and have fun shooting hoops and taking pictures, unless, of course, you’re a Basketball Buck?!  Thanks to a groomsman, though, we did just that and it was just as fun as it sounds.  And, let me tell you – the view up into the stands from down on the floor is intimidating, even when the seats are empty, so I can’t imagine having to perform when the place is hopping!

So, after that photo jaunt, we headed over to Creekside, which was beautifully lit and still had nice fall color, and then enjoyed a super fun reception at the Creekside Conference and Event Center.
