Had a wonderful evening with Jamie and Chad and their awesome boys William and Jackson.  They are a super sweet, fun, and very loving family.  You can see their love for each other in their cuddliness, their happiness and even just in the way that they look at each other. We kept our session relaxed and let the boys be themselves and we all had a great time.

Loving the energy in this image!

Sweet William.

Baby Jackson.

I had to include this one in their Blog sneak because it is sooooo This. Is. Life.  (And I am so. in. love. with it!)

This is one of my favorites too…it’s so descriptive of the boy’s personalities.

Every single time I look at this image I L right OL!  (Ya know, Laugh right Out Loud)!:D  This is just great.

We finished off our session at a nearby Veteran’s Memorial where Chad’s father, a Vietnam Vet, has a remembrance brick in the walkway. Chad and Jamie were seeing the brick for the first time since it’s purchase and I was honored to be there with them for such a special moment.  They took some time to look around the Memorial and talk to the boys about their late Grandfather, it was a lovely moment.

Thanks Chad and Jamie! You have a beautiful family and are raising some wonderful little men. Looking forward to seeing you all again!  Much love.

Jamie MInor - Oh Jaime….I don’t even have words for what I feel right now. I’m laughing and crying all at the same time! You did such a beautiful job with these pictures. You captured our boys’ personalities perfectly! I absolutely cannot wait to see all of the pictures. I hope Kohls has picture frames on sale because we are going to need a whole bunch! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Love,
Jamie & Chad

Garrett::Class of 2013

Filed in: SeniorsNo comments

I had the opportunity to meet and photograph another wonderful young man who is graduating this year.  This is Garrett, Jackson High School, Class of 2013!  Garrett was such a nice guy and super easy to work with. He is a baseball player and hopes to play ball next year in College.  I have to give a big shout out to his Mama, Krista who helped me so much during his shoot and even leapt a fence to get a shot!;)  Thanks so much, to both of you, for trusting me with such important photos.  I loved meeting and talking with both of you and am so excited for your future, Garrett!

I have to start with my favorite image, seriously it could be a JCrew cover, for real. Ooohhhh and wait until you see this one in print…it’s awesome!!

Mikayla::Class of 2013

Filed in: SeniorsNo comments

Oh my…it was such a pleasure getting to know this beauty! This is Mikayla and we had so much fun during her senior portraits!  Mikayla is passionate about graphic design and photography, which made her session especially exciting for me.  She has just graduated from Louisville High School (though she also attended classes at GlenOak for the Animation & Graphic Design Career Tech. program). In the Fall she will attend the University of Akron, majoring in Graphic Design.  Check out her graphic design Facebook page here….I can’t wait to see what this creative girl comes up with next! I know you’re going to enjoy getting to know Mikayla as much as I did!

Mikayla says the best thing about high school…
The freedom, and also being 4 years closer to graduating!

The worst thing…
The rules!

He favorite movies are Napoleon Dynamite and The Breakfast Club (I knew I liked this girl!).

The song that will most remind her of Senior Year? ‘Grow Up’ by Paramore.

In her spare time, Mikayla likes to run, go to concerts, design on her own, hang with her cats, take adventures, film videos, and take pictures.

Some things she can’t live without? Peanut butter, her Savior, her cats, and her camera.

In 10 years Mikayla sees herself as hopefully having a job as a graphic designer, working with a company or freelancing, and maybe being married!

Mikalya’s advice for underclassmen:
Your high school years are just the start of your life. Don’t be in a rush to get out, enjoy the time you have left being a kid. Try to focus on all the joys and opportunities you have in your life instead of dwelling on the negatives.

Congratulations, Mikayla and thanks for such a great portrait session and fun time chatting…hope to see you again soon!
