Anne + Craig

I knew I wanted to work with Anne from the second we first met. She is beautiful and has such a warm smile.

Last week I spent some time with her and her FI Craig during their engagement shoot and it was such a great time. They have the best personalities and I truly enjoy their company.

Anne always has a smile on her face, she's so cute!

Craig wanted his picture with the big Lion at the DAI. These images are so funny!
Oooo La la!

Guys I really enjoyed getting to know you and can’t wait for the wedding!
Had to share this email. I love getting nice emails from my bride’s after the engagement session...well this was the first one from the groom & it really made me feel good:) Thank so much Craig you’re the best!

Tracy-
I wanted to thank you again for your time. I was very impressed by your photographic passion and zeal, as well as the more difficult task of making it fun. Annie and I know you will add volumes to our wedding. We looked forward to drinking a beer (or two) with you on October 27th!!

Sincerely,
Craig

Cheers to 10 years baby!

Love you with all my heart Lee:)

The best way for me to tell you how much you mean to me today on our 10 year anniversary is thru pictures….

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

Studio

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!!!

Take care,
~T
