Elliana at 18 months old

November 2008

It seems like just yesterday that Elliana celebrated her first birthday! Now, on this last gorgous autumn day, I captured her growing up and turning 18 months old.






Isabella's Autumn

October 2008

The best part of autumn are the colors! Isabella got to enjoy being outdoors which is a favorite weekend pasttime for her. Mom wanted images in her pumpkin costume, but little Isabella would have nothing to do with it :) So that's when we headed outdoors in her favorite pink Harley jacket instead!









Stearns Violins

October 2008

Master Craftsman, Rodger Stearns and his lovely wife Eunice, allowed me into the magic of string instrument restoration, while photographing them with their grandchildren. Their two grandchildren are no stranger to my lens. They are so fortunate to have so many experiences that will enhance their lives. See the behind the scenes of what the world knows as one of the best violin restorers. Want to know more? Visit them online or arrange to visit them in Hartville!






Mapleside Fall Fest

October 2008


Pumpkins, corn field mazes - finding treasures and friends! That's a great way to start the autumn season. Where a better place too, then Mapleside in Brunswick!




UK & US Ralph Families

September 2008

It's not often you get to capture generations of families when those families span the Atlantic Ocean! I was privileged to photograph The Ralph's when one Akron families' mother, father and sister visited this fall from England. What made it even more special was the addition of the newest child, meeting her British grandparents for the first time.

CVPS - First Place Winner!

July 2008 ~ Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society Annual Photo Contest

I am an active member in the Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society http://www.cvps.org/. For the 2008 Annual Photography Contest, I was honored with a First Place win in the catagory: People & Activities in the Park.

Thanks to my gorgous little subject, Grace (see "Grace" blog entry), for her help! I was very excited to win this particular catagory because of my portrait work.

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park has a special place in my heart. I am a member of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association http://www.cvnpa.org/ and a true advocate. How many people can say they have a National Park in their "backyard?" Get out their and enjoy what's ours. Learn about the Great Blue Heron - go for a hike or a bike ride! Ride the Scenic Railroad http://www.cvsr.com/! In a world that gas prices rule our life, get out of your car and enjoy the natural world that surrounds you!!


First Place - "A State of Grace" / People & Activities in the Park


Baron & Bailey

June 2008 ~ Akron, OH

Word made it's way around my neighborhood pretty quickly that their was a photographer close by! These two little ones are a treasure and when they got in front of my camera, were as adorable as could be! Meet Baron & Bailey!


Brendan & Elliana

May 2008 ~ Hinkley, OH

Big brother Brendan & Elliana love the outdoors, so it was very fitting to hike Hinkley Lake to catch them in action!


Grace

May 2008 ~ Brecksville, OH



It is an honor when families will travel to have me photograph them. This little girl, Grace, came in from the Grand Rapids, MI area for a shoot at Brecksville Reservation. It came down to the minute if we were was going to have sunshine or not! Heavy storms were in the area overnight and into that morning.

An updated note about this shoot... I was honored with a First Place win for one of the images taken at this shoot. More to come in a future blog entry :)



Tyler Family

May 2008 ~ Akron, OH



A family that bonds is strong. These photographs of the Tyler family show that. Jason, Becca and their two sons Liam & Declan played & bonded while I captured every special moment. They represent why I love doing what I do. Being able to freeze time and love is what my photography is all about.



Laura & James

May 2008 ~ Akron, OH



There is nothing more special than capturing a mommy-to-be. To achieve this, I took Laura to one of my favorite places in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Everett Road Bridge. It was fun getting looks from horse mounted passer byers, as Laura showed her belly to the camera. She was a great sport!



After our shoot, we me up with her husband, James and their son, Benjamin. James' heritage from England shined thru to their son, as they played "Pooh Sticks" on this bridge.


Elliana

May 2008 ~ Akron, OH



It's Elli's first birthday! This beautiful little girl has the biggest dark blue eyes just like her mommy. She is a joy to photograph. Enjoy!
