More Sneak Peaks
Posted on November 12, 2008
What a busy season this has been!! Fall has definitely been rivaling Spring as the most popular time for photos! I wanted to let you know that I’m leaving early in the morning for a much needed long weekend out of town with my mom. We are heading down to San Antonio, Texas to visit our family and one of my best friends who moved to Dallas a couple of years ago. I can’t wait - it is going to be so warm and pretty there! I didn’t want to leave without posting a few more sneak peaks that you all can look forward to when I get back and things settle down a bit.
Leslie & Darrin ~ married
Posted on October 28, 2008
I have to start out by saying that Leslie is one of the sweetest people I have ever met! She and Darrin were living in Florida right up until the wedding, so I had never met Leslie until about a week before the big day. I could tell from all of our email correspondence that she was sweet, but when we sat in Starbucks chatting about the final details, I realized just how down to earth and truly wonderful Leslie is. It wasn’t 5 minutes before she was asking about Opie (which made my day because he is my pride and joy), so I got out my phone to show her recent pictures. We both sat there squealing over his cuteness like little school girls!
A few days after we met, Hurricane Ike swept through Cincinnati [ yes I know I am WAY behind on blogging ] and I was worried about how it was going to affect her wedding day. When I spoke to her on the phone, she didn’t seem the least bit worried about it. The reception venue already told her that they would scrounge up a generator if need be (which they did end up having to do). The wedding day arrived and we were blessed with beautiful weather to compliment the beautiful outdoor wedding Leslie had planned at Sharon Woods Heritage Village.
At one point, Leslie’s bridesmaids asked her how her feet were holding up in her high heels. She responded, “They are totally numb, but I don’t even care because I’m married!” Her happiness was so infectious and made for a day filled with so much love and joy.
This day was extra special for Donny and I because when we got home from shooting, our electricity was back on after a week of being off!
Leslie & Darrin ~ You both were a joy to work with and we wish you all the best. Enjoy your new home and new life together - finally, right? :):)
Sneak Attack!
Posted on October 16, 2008
As much as I can’t wait to give each of the following sessions their featured post in the near future, I have no other choice but to resort to giving you sneak peaks for now. Blogging is probably my favorite part of the post-processing, however I have to make myself get everything else done first. Lately I have just not had enough time to catch up with my ever growing to-do list. Not that I’m complaining, but all the time usually reserved for editing has been taken up with shoots, meetings, and order fulfillment. I never imagined October would be this busy. To all of my clients who are waiting for their blog post, I promise it is coming and I thank you for your patience!! Now on to the pictures:

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 :)
