Nurse Stephanie!

My friend Stephanie recently graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. We went out one afternoon to take some graduation pictures. I wanted to post a sneak peek at our session.









Congratulations Steph! I'm so proud of you and excited for you as you start your new career!

Shannon's Senior Pictures!

I can't believe I forgot to post these... My cousin Shannon asked me if I would take her senior pictures, so when I was in Cleveland visiting my family for Thanksgiving, we went over to the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library for her session. The library is in an old beautiful mansion, with lots of interesting spaces, so it was a treat to be able to photograph there. The staff was so gracious and even let us explore some of the private areas for our session.

This is the library I grew up visiting on a regular basis and being there again brought back fond memories of our family trips there (always followed by a stop at Dairy Queen for lunch after!).

And of course there is the not-so-fond memory of when I flipped over my handle bars in the driveway when my bag of books to be returned got stuck between the spokes of my front wheel. The library was not yet open, but a senior citizen group of some sort had an event and was having their group picture taken out in front. I'm sure I gave them all quite a scare! I ended up with stitches in my front lip and 2 new front teeth. I think I was more upset that the first day of 8th grade was just 2 weeks away and how would I be able to show my face!? Luckily, it was a quick recovery and I was good as new in time for the first day of school!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Shannon!













We took a few family pictures as well while we were there - with Shannon is my Aunt Jill, Uncle John and my cousin, Molly. I also photographed Molly for her senior pictures 2 years ago.

Thanks so much to both of you! I had a great time!

Cool Collin

Collin is a lineman on his high school football team with a sparkling smile and big heart. He was so fun to have around on our photo shoot day, and a great sport putting up with all us girls!


I added a bit of texture to this image - what do you think?

Thanks, Collin - it was great meeting you!


Check back later for the super fun slideshow!!

Lovely Lee

Meet the gorgeous and fun Lee! On Sunday, I had the privilege of photographing Lee and Collin, two super fun teens! Check back tomorrow for Collin's pictures, but today, enjoy the stunning Lee!


This is my favorite image of Lee - isn't she just stunning?







Special thanks to Emily, the fabulous make-up artist (and future bride!) for making Lee even more gorgeous than she already is. Emily did Tara's (the fabulously gorgeous bride featured on my website) wedding day make-up, and we'll be teaming up to offer some great make-up/portrait and wedding packages. Stay tuned for our big announcement!
