Karmyce, Tony, Kyndall and Kennedy

I met with Karmyce and family at Tower City. It was a perfect day to be inside at the mall -- it wasn't too crowded and the decorations were beautiful.

What child isn't mesmerized by a toy display in a window?


Karmyce and Tony


Kyndall is a natural model -- and so happy-go-lucky!


Kennedy was a little bit more of a challenge. She was a bit overwhelmed with the new sights, colors, mechanical moving things, and people! She's such a cutie, though. I grabbed a few candids when I could get away with it :-)



The nutcrackers/drum are a gorgeous backdrop for this beautiful family.



The Tower City building is also gorgeous on the outside

Give the gift of a-moment-in-time

Holiday shopping can be really tough -- it's always such a challenge to try to think of a unique gift that is really meaningful. Consider giving the gift of a moment in time -- in the life of a child, a family, a couple. A portrait session is that moment in time captured - living forever as a print on your mantle, your wall, or your desk. Contact me for pricing.

Kait -- High School Senior Portraits

I enjoyed spending the morning with Kait today at Schoepfle Gardens. There's still a whole lot of gorgeous in Autumn and Kait added to the beauty! She's so sweet and nice -- and I had a great time walking the gardens with her.

Jen, Mike, Kate and Anna -- Family Portraits

Had a lot of fun with Jen, Mike and their two beautiful daughters today. When we discovered that today was going to be sunny and in the 60's, we changed their appointment to accommodate this great weather! Their session was held at the Wade Oval area of University Heights.

Jessica and Les Get Married! 11-6-10

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Les' wedding. Sure, it was a typical Cleveland November day - chilly and overcast, but that didn't make a dent in the spirit and happiness of those there to celebrate their special day! Jessica is warm and genuine and loved to laugh. Les was laid back and seemed to love to put a smile on Jessica's face, so they are perfectly suited to each other! In summary -- humor, laughter and love were the key emotions of the day. :-)

Portraits of Jessica prior to the ceremony...

Love this moment -- just before they leave for the ceremony

loved loved loved their cake top - so much so, that I made it part of their "creative ring" shot.


gorgeous and creative favors for their guests...


Have I mentioned how much I love to take photos of people taking photos?


Jessica is famous among her friends for a particular dance...though now I can't remember what it's called -- but she did it well to a huge round of applause :-D


Les and his mom


a family dance...


dancing didn't occur just on the dance floor-the guys at the bar were kicking it.


it's raining men, hallelujah!


And finally, a couple of Jessica and Les enjoying their wonderful day...
