A day at the park ...

This family and I went to Shafer Park for their session. There was a little soccer with Dad, some playing around the jungle jim, swinging on the swings and we ended it with a little cool off in the fountain! I worked up a sweat chasing them around ... but it was worth it because in the end I captured some precious images!












notice his little mix & match socks ... mom says its his trademark!

Two boys and a girl ...

It's that time of year again when I shoot a lot of families. Julia brought some things that were specific to her kids personalities. I thought it was a great idea.







I wonder who's the boss in this family :)

Family of three ...

Here are my favorites from a newborn session a while back. Stacy I can't wait to see your little man again.
Enjoy!

Cincinnati ...

So I've been shooting a lot outside the Dayton area lately and I really enjoy it! Cincinnati makes up 1/2 my business these days and it really helps keep me fresh and creative. These two below were definitely worth the drive ... along with a former favorite bride "Ali" who referred them :) thanks! Anyway, I enjoyed practicing my Spanish with Chelsea and watching her bro play a little golf. He was a trooper cause he wasn't a big fan of the photo shoot thing .... In the end I was super pleased with the outcome. Looking forward to seeing you guys again and Rob enjoy!

Audrey Woulard ...

I'm in Chicago for a workshop with one of my all time favorite photographers Audrey Woulard. It has been such a great experience hanging out and learning how she does things. Below you'll see some images I took using her techniques. Audrey shoots modern childrens portraiture for an elite Chicago market, Pottery Barn Kids, and many others. Not only is she a talented and smart business woman .... she's also very down-to-earth and a super cool chic!
