Jones Soda

I came across this today on another photographers blog & though I'd share...

Jones Soda

Their beverages are sold in stores and feature random images people have submitted by mail or online. The catch is they don’t tell you if they use your image. You go to the store in 60-90 days and see if your picture is on their label. An alternate service they offer is to customize a batch of bottles with your image and text and ship it to you. These are perfect for casual receptions, graduation partys...heck any party this would be great fun!

Joe + Kristen

What a sweet couple!

I knew from day one that we would get along great and they would be so fun to photograph. Last week I met them at Ault Park in Cincinnati, after shooting there for awhile we headed over to Hyde Park Square for some cool downtown images. We had such a great time and Joe and Kristen are just full of pure cuteness!!! For some reason Kristen reminds me of Julia Roberts…I think it’s her adorable open mouth smile. What do you think?

I was trying super hard to get some cool sun flair and here is what I got....

So funny! This crazy large mouth monster came out of the ally as we were walking by so naturally I wanted to get some pictures of Joe and Kristen with him...



After this session I could not wait to get home and look thru the images. So while I look thru them I get a bit teary eyed… seeing this beautiful young couple so in love - so happy. I realize just how lucky & blessed I am to be able to document this wonderful time in their lives and so many others. I live for that feeling….. such a great feeling.

Thought it would be fun to do a slideshow for this session.... click here

I can hardly believe it, we have worked none stop for 2 months and the studio is almost ready!!! This week we (as in my hubby...lol) are going to be laying down the flooring and after that the fun part ....decorating!!! Yah! I ordered 6 canvas wraps and they should be in this week...one of them is a 40x60...yes guys that is life size! ha. I hope you can all make it out to our Grand Opening Party!

I want to thank our great friends.... Carol & Jerry for all the help you have given us. You guys are the best!!!

Perfect weather, great lighting & stunning bride!!!! I have to say that Natasha she sure can work the camera;)
