Happy Halloween ...

Hope everyone has a safe and happy halloween. This is my little family last night before trick-or-treating!

Bailey, Bailey, Bailey ...

Could this senior be any more beautiful ... I love my job!

The Taylor's ...

We went out on a beautiful fall day to shoot this gorgeous family. The weather was perfect! And the trees ... I especially loved the fall colors all around us! Hope it was worth the wait guys ... thanks for a wonderful afternoon :)

A little Suri look alike ...

Just a few images on this one because I'm trying to catch up on all my sessions. There are a ton more but doesn't she look a little like Suri Cruise? These two are so sweet!

Kiss ...kiss ...

chris + lindsey : engagement

You start to feel really old when your babysitters call to tell you they're getting married. Lindsey was our nanny when I gave birth to my twins 3 years ago. She was the best and we all still adore her!

From the 1st time I met Lindsey I knew she was the kinda girl who was meant to be a wife & mother ... I am so excited for her upcoming wedding.

It got dark pretty quick on us ... winter is definitely in the air. But I still managed to get some fun images of them ... and YES you are photogenic! Can't wait til June :)

I'm on a roll ... another favorite!

It was great seeing you both and the girls again ... all so beautiful and full of great energy!

The "W" Family ...

Another fun session at the Cox! It was great seeing you again Beth & Mike.
Enjoy!

opps ... lynn + joel were next :

These two couldn't be any cuter and they happen to be really good friends of ours.
I'm so excited to shoot their wedding on the beach next May. They are planning a destination wedding in Charleston, SC :)
Enjoy!

The "A" Family ...

I'm finally blogging a session from September but one I really loved. This family was darling!
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves ...







kids make the cutest faces ...


i love these silly collages featuring all the crazy expressions ...



sissy & brother playing a little patty cake ...



and as I was leaving the kids grabbed their hola hoops so of course I had to get out of the car and snap a few ...

Shooting ... editing ... shooting ... editing ... shooting ....

For all of those waiting to see pictures I am working like a maniac. I'm shooting nearly everyday ... editing, meeting clients, and I just signed a lease for a new studio!!! We also have a new blog in the works and a UD photography student working for us too!
We have so much going on at Blink of an Eye Photography and I wanted to thank you all for your patience.

There are mony sessions I have not blogged yet ... I'm shooting so much that I have to post your gallery first and blog later. So hold tight ... I will blog all of my sessions as soon as I can.

Here is something different for me. PET PHOTOGRAPHY! I loved shooting Kerry and her animals. They were so darn cute!
We started with the sisters ...

Urban Fun ...

Another fun session with the "R" family ... I had fun chasing around little Katie who wanted nothing to do with me or my camera.
I love this family and it was so great to see them again this year!

Some favorites ...

I've been shooting this family for a few years now and I was so excited to see their little baby girl. Last year I didn't even know Maria was pregnant. Thanks for driving up to Dayton for your session ... it was great seeing you all again!

Another amazing senior ...

This beautiful & incredibly smart girl reminds me so much of Kate Winslet ... what do you think?
I hope you love these as much as I do Nadia! Have a great a great senior year :)

Becca ...

I got to photograph one of my favorite babysitters "Becca". She is a high school senior this year! Maybe she'll stay local and go to University of Dayton next year..... my fingers are crossed because we would really miss her.

She was so cute and adventurous. We had fun finding some cool new places with the help of her Mom Anne. This first image is one of my new favorites!

I love, love, love senior sessions ...

I was so excited to meet this "cute as can be" senior. This session was unique because I got to shoot in a gorgeous home on a golf course up in Springfield.

"A" was full of energy and up for anything. Her little sis even jumped in for a few shots!




I loved these orange walls. It made her complexion just glow ...





some very cool shoes ...



you gotta love the socks & shoes ...



"say cheese" ...


hurray for your senior year!
