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 :)

Kim & Walt

May 2008 ~ Mogadore, OH



First time expecting parents, Kim & Walt received a prenatal photo shoot as a baby shower gift! These can be arranged by presenting a gift certificate from Catherine Widemire Photography or as a surprise before the shower, as they did.



I photographed Kim & Walt at their golf course home and near by Mogadore Resevoir. Then a print of their choice was made up, matted & framed, to be ready to display at baby's shower. Once the shower was over, they were so excited to have this beautiful piece of art to hang just outside of baby's nursery. What a special gift it was!

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!

Laura & Paul

Spring was a very busy time for me. The weather was unpredictable it seemed, every time I had a scheduled session. Huge storms would roll in or it was scheduled to be blazing hot! Shooting in early morning or late evening was critical. I took advantage of the light and made some beautiful images! Enjoy!

April 2008 ~ Rockside Station/Independence OH

This couple flew in from Ft. Lauderdale for a family wedding and while in town, wanted me to capture them in the blossoming start of spring here in NE Ohio. Just being married three months earlier, these two were ready to play the part & loved the camera!
