lovely sisters

hello!

what a sad, sad blogger am i.

i'm sorry, to anyone that was eagerly awaiting see new photographs ;-)

though i've neglected blogging (not necessarily on purpose,) i have been doing plenty of photographing. so i'm going to try to catch up.

starting... now.

i babysat these young ladies when they were very little. they are beautiful, inside and out, they always have been. i almost can't believe how much they've grown up. i'm so glad to still have them in my life.

please enjoy!

Phillip = Graduating

I've known Phillip since he was very little. Our families have known each other for a long time. It was so fun to take his senior pictures because i've known him most of his life so i've seen him grow up. Of course the fact that we took his drum set outside for his senior pictures had nothing to do with it being fun ;-) Have i mentioned that i love my job and my clients? (and the fact that alot of them are friends.)



thats the dayton skyline.






I always encourge my seniors to bring a friend or family member along for their shoot to make it more comfortable for them, i can get more natural smiles and expressions. Since my brother and Phillip are buds i did part of their shoot together so here's the piano's again. Phillip is also a musician, as you probably figured out already.

night

Some of my cousins and siblings were awesome and let me drag them out into the cold when we were all at my grandma's in march. We had alot of fun. I love night photography because i love experimenting, and it always is. Only problem is experimentation shouldn't be rushed, and when you're finger tips are freezing and you know your subjects are cold, its hard not to be. I didn't get as much as i could have if we were working on a summer night instead of a crazy march in ohio night, but i got a few shots i'm pleased with, and we had a ton of fun. I'm looking forward to shooting more at night with the weather getting nice.





cold. yes.





the end.

hey hey lil' brother

Well, its that time of year, and my little brother is one of them. He's graduating from high school. We went to a music stores storage floor. He's a musician so this location was perfect for him, he did a great job of picking it. We had fun, it seems like i always say that, but hey i love my job, it IS fun. and working with my any and all of my family is always awesome. I'm proud of him and excited to see what he's up to next.
