Elise- High School Senior Portraits Around Lakewood
I focus on weddings around the Cleveland area almost exclusively. However, I’ve spread out a little lately to take on some high school senior portraits for students around Lakewood and Rocky River. The sessions are a welcome change from weddings. Instead of working hard for one client over months and photographing large groups of people, senior portrait sessions offer a completely different approach. I love working with a single student for a few hours at a time. The concentration on just one person can have magical results. So I was happy to take on another senior portrait session when Elise and her mother, Mary, contacted me. Step inside for a look at how a great session turns out.
A Bird, Boat, Bike, and Bridge
I often find myself location scouting for weddings on odd days here and there. Add to this that I am easily distracted (look, something shiny!), and I typically come home with a grab bag of images. Included in this post’s grab bag is a healthy dose of alliteration.
Jessica & Alex – Winter Fashion Engagement
Right from the start, Jessica and I were on the same page in a freakish way. It really began to scare me. Every time I had a good idea for their personalized engagement shoot, Jessica would write that day echoing the same idea. It was like she was reading my thoughts! Very weird. However, it made the planning for their winter engagement session fun and easy. Jessica and Alex love formal clothing, so we wanted their engagement photos to reflect fashion and formality right from the start. Step inside to see how we brought a little fashion into their Cleveland winter engagement.
Tattoos & Honey Bees
After discussing it for eons, the time had finally come. Going on forever, my wife had been talking about a tattoo. We bounced around ideas and she never seemed to settle solidly on anything. Then came the honey bee idea just a few months ago. She knew immediately that is was the right concept. Now, just to find a good artist in Cleveland.
Kate & Brian – Rocky River Engagement
There are certain things that make me happy to be a Cleveland wedding photographer. The most notable is the scenery. Cleveland has a huge abundance of shooting locations. The Rocky River Reservation, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, downtown Cleveland, and any number of suburb locations are all great places to shoot.
Nicole & Rich – engagement
We just wrapped up an engagement photography session with Nicole and Rich. What great people! Rich is absolutely hysterical! Even better, there wedding reception will by Halloween themed. The engagement photos were shot in Rocky River reservation, Olmsted Falls, and Crocker Park mall in Westlake, Ohio. See y’all soon, Hunter Connect with Hunter View wedding [...]
Kate & Dick – Lakewood Engagement
The lighting could not have been more perfect. Just about everywhere we went, the light was not too strong and really creamy. This really allowed for some great, natural portraits. I even got a chance to bring out the big studio lights and push them against the sun.
Brooke was kind enough to assist, but I think I had to bribe her with dinner out. Of course, Kate and Dick were a pleasure to work with. But what you would expect from fans of vinyl.
