This adorable baby is the product of two wonderful people Laena & Vail. I photographed their wedding several years ago. I was overjoyed when they asked me to capture their new bundle of joy in with some Hawaiian style imagery. Congratulations guys! You have a super awesome baby!
Meet Landon. He is a 10 lb bundle of joy who entered the world only a few months ago <3 His Mama scheduled him for a session to surprise Dad for Father's Day with some fun photos!
Check out Landon's hat outfit inspired by Dad's super cool "first date" clothing with Mama. Also we did some images with Dad's childhood book.
I'm so in love with Landon's smile <3
The first wedding of 2015 and Brittany and Phil didn’t let me down! An absolutely gorgeous and sweet couple who were a complete joy to work with! This was a second marriage for the couple but one wouldn’t know because they didn’t hold back while planning this event. And off the bat I could see they were truly madly deeply, head over heels in love. And not just any pair of heels, but a pair of Tiffany Blue heels of course! When I think of a Tiffany Blue wedding, I automatically pair it with bling! And that is exactly what Brittany and Phil did as far as décor for their wedding day. They accented the tiffany blue color with a pretty pale pink and lots of bling, which transformed the ceremony and reception space at the classic and elegant Dayton Country Club.
During the ceremony, Brittany walked into the ceremony space but suddenly stopped at the bar and took a huge drink out of an open wine bottle. Yes straight out of the bottle, no wine glass required!!! She totally set the tone for the rest of the evening, while getting tons of laughs from her guests.
Brittany’s daughters, Alexandra and Victoria, were the only 2 members of the small but intimate wedding party and played a huge part in the day. After toasts, Brittany’s youngest daughter surprised her mother and step-father with a special song and there was not a dry eye in the room, including mine! It was so sweet!
For the reception Brittany changed into a short and sophisticated sequined cocktail dress for dancing! This family sure knows how to party!
Thank you to Brittany and Phil for a great start of my 2015 wedding season this year!

I have been involved with most parts of the portrait photography business my whole career. I spent many years working with different studios holding virtually every position possible. Marketing, Production, Graphic Design, Customer Service, Color Correction but my favorite was Retoucher. I absolutely love the idea of creating something fantastic from my computer. Most of my job was retouching pimples from teenagers faces, but sometimes I got wonderfully creative projects. I was rarely asked if something was possible, just expected to make it possible.
Becoming a Mother has afforded me a permanent on-call model for all of my wild ideas. My brain thinks "baby doing yoga" and only a few days later I found myself in a friends studio making it possible (Thank You Michelle @ Nixon Photography, www.nixonphotography.com). For this shot I used at least 8 different images of Grayvin and composited them into one image. It took me around 4 hours to complete. At this point in his development (5 mo) he couldn't stand or even sit up on his own.

My baby Spartan photo was inspired from an image a friend did of her cat many years ago. The cat wore a red cape and had a stormy background. It was wonderful. So when Grayvin was born I knew I had to make him into a Spartan Warrior!!! I sewed a cape, wrist and leg bracers. I made a talon necklace and found a shield and spear on Amazon.com. This image is 98% photographed in my studio and 2% cloudy stock art. Those wonderful Greek abs are the real deal! Well sort of... it took very little convincing to call in a favor from Megan @ Pinned Up (www.updotoyou.com). She was gracious enough to air brush abs on my little 8 month old. AMAZING! This took about 3 hours of Photoshop work to complete.
