Maria & Chris ~ married
Posted on September 28, 2008
Maria & Chris had a gorgeous wedding at Maria’s parent’s house in Indiana. Maria called to book me about 3 weeks before the wedding, and I thought they had a situation where their original photographer canceled or something. Nope - Maria just wanted to get married in the Summer and didn’t want to wait until next year. Now there’s a girl who knows what she wants and makes it happen! I was absolutely blown away at how beautiful everything was with such a short time frame for planning.
One of my favorite parts of the whole evening was their first dance. Maria is Greek and they did a traditional Greek dance where everyone pays a dollar and gets to move up to the beginning of the circle to dance with the bride & groom. They even had a Greek DJ who sang throughout their reception - it was great!
Did I mention the Greek pastries were TO DIE FOR!! :)
Maria & Chris ~ It was so great meeting you and photographing your wedding! It was pretty obvious that you two are super special and it was a pleasure getting to know you and sharing in the joy of your wedding day. We wish you nothing but the best!
I hope you enjoy this slideshow…its something new I’m trying out :)

Sneak Peak ~ Senior Portraits
Posted on September 22, 2008
Just a quick bit of good news - we have power!! I came on sometime Saturday evening while we were out shooting a wedding. It is SO nice to have it back :) Now onto the real reason for this post…
A couple of weeks ago Donny and I headed up to Monroe to do four senior sessions. For those of you who are not familiar, Monroe is a small town near Middletown, Ohio and they are sports fanatics up there! Everyone in the town is so proud and supportive of the high school sports teams, which is really neat to see. Needless to say, the four boys we photographed that day are athletes and wanted most of their pictures taken on the fields and/or with their sports equipment. Here are just a few from that day (more to come when I get caught up):
News…

I am still without power!! It is quite annoying, but at the same time, it is not that bad. We are so thankful that living without electricity for a week is our biggest issue…the poor people in Texas are dealing with MUCH worse. Most of our friends and family have power, so we’ve been going to different people’s houses every night to hang out & eat dinner. Since Sunday, all we do at home is sleep and shower (we still do have hot water - thankfully!). Yesterday morning I was driving across the Queen City viaduct and was getting very frustrated! I was stuck in some major traffic which normally wouldn’t bother me much, but I think I was letting the whole no electricity situation get to me. And then I looked up and saw this…
…and everything was better! Such a simple statement that means so much. My friends and I are pretty sure whoever was driving that car attends the Vineyard Westside (which is where we have been going to church lately) because that is their slogan/motto or whatever you want to call it.
In other news…I wanted to remind everyone that the wedding promotion is ending in 11 days!! Many of you have taken adavantage and received 10% off of your 2009 wedding package…but for those of you who are not early planners…you better hurry!
One more thing…OCTOBER IS BOOKED!! For those of you wanting to get your engagement (or other) sessions in this Fall, you better schedule your session for November before that fills up. I only have a few available dates left in November.

Sneak Peak ~ Maria & Chris
Posted on September 15, 2008
Hey Everyone! Along with 600,000 other people in the tri-state area, I am still without power. I am going on 32 hours without power - and it has definitely made me realize how every aspect of our lives is so dependent on it! Our friend Dan got power today and he was kind enough to invite us over for dinner and some Monday night football. I took advantage and got a lot of editing done while watching the game and eating pizza. Please bear with me this week as I am unsure when my power will be back on and when I will be able to catch up on the blog posts that are stacking up. For now, here is a sneak peak from a beautiful wedding 2 weeks ago.
Happy Birthday Donny
Posted on September 8, 2008
Today is Donny’s birthday! He doesn’t like making a deal of it, so I won’t either. I just wanted to post a few pictures of the man who is my everything on his special day. Happy Birthday Lover Boy!!
This is one my all-time favorite pictures of my boys taken last week:
And this is how he celebrated last night - he took his mom for a bike ride!
