Ivy at One Year

2009-11-30T07:16:00.000-05:00

Ivy was here for her final Baby portrait a few weeks ago. It's always fun to see how much (and how fast) babies grow their first year.She brought one of her bears so we needed to have a tea party.
I love how she and the bear are both in the same position.
Her sister Ruby came along, too.
Isn't that precious?

Valarie at 9 Months

2009-11-28T11:20:00.001-05:00

For Valarie's nine-month portraits, we went over to her house for some lifestyle portraits. Her sister, Vivian, was also there, of course, and they had a great time in their play room.Lots of bright colors.
And lots of toys, too.
This next one is one of my favorites from this session. I love their expressions in the mirror.
Aren't they so cute together?

Griffin at six months

2009-11-01T15:12:00.000-05:00

Last week I met Griffin and his dad at Highbanks Metro Park over in Lewis Center for his six-month portraits. There were still a lot of leaves on the trees, despite some wind earlier in the day.He wasn't too happy when he wasn't being held, but we managed to get some awesome smiles, anyway.
I just love this pumpkin picture.
And here he is in his Halloween costume. What a cutie.

Woody at 3 months

2009-10-30T12:32:00.001-04:00

Woody was here for his 3-month portraits the other day. You might remember his newborn portraits as Paul (Woody is his nickname)from a couple months ago. He's growing and is ready for the holidays in his cute sweater.His face is adorable on this next one.
And then an outfit change.

Isabel and Zak

2009-10-29T08:27:00.003-04:00

You may remember Isabel from a couple years ago. She now has a new brother, Zak.Look how much she's grown!
What a cute smile, too.
I love this one. That tongue is great.
And, of course, in the tub.
Isabel didn't quite fit, but she had some tubby-time, too.

NPCA School Pictures

2009-10-29T08:22:00.001-04:00

Earlier this month we had the opportunity to photograph all the students at Northwest Presbyterian Christian Academy here in Dublin. These "picture days" are always a lot of fun -- and a lot of work. It was a crazy week and I had a blast!For Preschools portraits, we usually get their whole body in the picture as it gives you a better sense of their size than a "normal" head-and-shoulders school portrait.

Abby and Ella at 9 Months

2009-10-28T08:07:00.000-04:00

For Abby's and Ella's nine-month portraits, we decided to meet over at Franklin Park in Columbus. It's a beautiful park and on weekends there are a lot of people around. We managed to find some areas without too many distractions for the twins.They're walking, now, and so much bigger than the last time we saw them.
They have different personalities but you can definitely tell they're sisters by how they interact with each other.
I love her look on this next one.
It was a beautiful setting with cute little girls.

Aiden at 4 Months

2009-10-26T08:03:00.000-04:00

Aiden was back for his four-month portraits last week and he's really getting bigger.He's really into baseball. Or, at least, his family is.
Mom wanted a Fall theme, so we found some beautiful leaves.
And then the pumpkin costume. How cute is that?
You can see his slideshow (with more images) by clicking on any of the portraits.

Clara

2009-10-22T16:30:00.000-04:00

See how cute Clara is. She was here last month for some 3-month portraits and was perfect to photograph.We were even able to do a "Little Parts" session (you'll see the composite at the end of this post). Here's a closeup of her face.
Then she fell asleep. So we took advantage of that and were able to capture some adorable "sleeping baby" portraits.
And here's the composite of her "Little Parts" session.
Be sure to see her slideshow for more images.

Christopher the Rockstar

2009-10-19T16:40:00.001-04:00

Last month we asked for a model to use for some preschool portraits. We used our Facebook status to see if anyone would respond. There were a few responses and it worked out best for Christopher to come in.

We started out with what we needed for the preschool sample image:We then quickly went on to some more fun with the little Stratocaster.
And the little Fender amp.
He had so much fun -- especially since the amp was plugged in and he was making some awesome sounds.
He stopped after his fingers started hurting but not before we got some fantastic action shots. Be sure to see the slideshow for more.

Emmett is 3

2009-10-17T08:35:00.000-04:00

Emmett was here last month for his three-year-old portraits. We've seen him grow from a tiny newborn to where he is today and it's always amazing to see how much changes through the years. He has a smile and a laugh that is infectious.He started out kind of sober and not very smiley -- but you'd never know it from the images.Be sure to see his slideshow for more of his portraits.

Ari and Max

2009-10-14T06:39:00.000-04:00

You may remember Ari from last year at about this time. He's now two and has a baby brother named Max. You'll see more of Max in the coming months, as he's our newest member of our Baby's First Year plan.
This year's theme for Ari was golf. He's really into it and tries to play all the time. We had to keep an eye on him during the session with the walls and window. He was great, he only swung the club when (and where) we asked.
Check out that follow-through.
Of course, we needed some laughing time, too.
Here's the composite for this year.

Jason's Senior Portraits

2009-09-13T08:51:00.000-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

We went over to the disc golf course at Glacier Ridge Metro Park for some images with the targets. Since he's in the class of 2010, we had get one with the tenth goal.

It was a bit of a walk to the the 10th goal, and we stopped for a few images along the way.

I love the greens in the background of this one.

We started out at the studio.

Be sure to see Jason's slideshow to see more of his senior pictures.

Cassie's Senior Portraits

2009-09-11T08:49:00.001-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

Cassie's Senior session was so much fun. She has a great smile and a fantastic attitude -- and it really comes across in her portraits. Like this one on the bridge. It was one of the last ones of the day, but she looks amazing.

This next one is one of my favorites.

And here are a couple from the indoor part of the session.

I love the contrast of this one on the black.

Be sure to see Cassie's slideshow, too -- there are a lot more images there.

Tyler's Senior Portraits

2009-09-09T08:41:00.000-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

This session was great. First we met Tyler over at the skate park in Powell early in the morning and then went back to the studio. For a while we were the only ones at the park, which was great, but I understand now why they wanted to get there fairly early. It's a popular hangout.

I'll get right to the portraits. These are at the skate park. Mostly with or on the scooter.

On this next one, he's actually going away from view, but with a spin -- I caught him as he was facing backwards.

Getting some air:

Be sure to check out Tyler's slideshow for more images, including some from the studio.

Mollie's Senior Portraits

2009-09-08T08:38:00.000-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

Mollie was here last week for her senior portraits. We've (sort of) known her for several years, as she was in the same drama group as our own kids -- she was just in the older classes. We were really excited when she contacted us for her portraits.

Luckily the creek still had some water. It's been pretty dry lately.

This next one is one of my favorites from this session.
[

The bright, tie-dye backdrop has been in demand lately.

Be sure to check out her slideshow, too.

Megan's Senior Portraits

2009-09-07T08:32:00.001-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

We had a lot of fun with Megan when she was here for her senior pictures. We started out in the studio and then went down to the creek. She had the perfect dress for this tie-dye.

I thought this one looked great in black and white.

Here she is at the creek. She was wading and got a bit wet, too, but you'll have to go to the slideshow to see those images.

And we ended up at one of the new "old" cabins for nice backdrop.

Be sure to check out Megan's slideshow for more of her senior pictures.

Paul's Newborn Portraits

2009-09-01T11:09:00.001-04:00

Paul is our latest baby on our "Baby's First Year" plan. If his other sessions are anywhere near as fun as this one, you're in for a real treat watching him grow. He was pretty serious the whole time and he didn't leak at all, which was kind of amazing.
Be sure to check out his slideshow, too, for more.

Katie is One

2009-08-20T15:24:00.000-04:00

Katie just finished up her first year of life and with that, she also finished her year of portraits. For her last session, we decided to go to the park so she could pick flowers and run around.

I like this first one. She really likes getting close.
And here, with her sunglasses. She keeps them on for about three seconds then off they come.
Like most kids, she loves to swing.
And here she is playing under the playground slide.
Picking flowers and leaves was a big part of the session.

Alex is One

2009-08-06T20:03:00.001-04:00

Alex was here a few days ago for his first birthday. It's been fun watching him grow over the past year. (3 mos, 6 mos, 9 mos). As always, mom brought a bunch of props. The first few are for his Aunt, who sent him his uniform from Afghanistan. Here he is saluting.
This one is especially for his aunt.
Then we went outside to the "farm" for some driving.
Then back inside for the party.
Remember, there's a slideshow to see (also linked from all of the portraits) so be sure to check it out.

Ivy at 9 Months

2009-08-05T07:21:00.001-04:00

For Ivy's nine-month portraits we met over at her house for some lifestyle images. These are a lot of fun. We did something similar for her older sister several years ago and mom wants to put the portraits up together. Here she is in the pink tutu.Isn't that smile just beautiful in this next one?
It took a while, but she finally fell asleep in mom's arms.
This is how her room is decorated. It's the same room her sister was in at this age.

Austin

2009-08-04T09:33:00.001-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

The other day it was kind of rainy when Austin came in for his senior portraits. Luckily, it was clear at first so we went out for the outdoor session first. He also brought along his guitar.

Austin also does fencing so we did some with his fencing gear.

Jay

2009-08-01T07:24:00.001-04:00

This post is from our Senior site: Columbus Senior Portraits.

Jay has always wanted to be a super-hero ... just kidding. But he did comment that it looked like a super-hero picture when he first saw this first image. This was another fun session we had last week. The clouds on that day were just amazing. I couldn't believe how dramatic they were -- I'm so glad we were able to take advantage of the sky.

We don't normally go to several locations, but we managed to get to the park and the stadium without the rain coming down. It was looking kind of dicey for a while.

This last image is at the rock in front of Coffman stadium. You'd never know it was all set up for the 4th of July with tables and trucks all around there. Getting the right angles so they wouldn't show was a little tricky, but it all worked out.

As always, Jay has a slideshow with more portraits, so be sure to check it out.

Valarie at 6 Months

2009-07-28T07:05:00.001-04:00

Valarie was here last week for her six-month portraits and she's getting really cute. Well, she always has been, really.Looking coy in this bathtub.
Her sister, Vivian, was also ready to jump in for some portraits.
Look at that smile.
Don't forget to see her slideshow for some more.

Owen is 4

2009-07-27T07:51:00.001-04:00

Owen was one of our very first "Baby's First Year" kids and he's been coming back ever since. It's amazing how quickly they grow up. This time we decided to go outside down to the creek. It was much drier than it has been earlier in the year, but there was still enough water to play in.He has a great smile in this next one.
Here he is picking up a rock to throw -- because, you know, that's what they're for.
His younger brother was also there playing in the water. I love this last one.
