Prints ordered 'mounted' are adhered to styrene and sprayed with a protective finish. Use an easel or plate stand to display them on a desk, table, shelf, or mantel. Or hang multiple mounted prints from the same session in a wall display using 3M Picture Hanging Strips and eliminate the need to purchase frames.

Would you hire a band for your wedding based on what type of instruments they have or based on how well they can use them?  Would you hire someone to write something for you because they have an expensive pen or because they have writing skills?  Do you get your hair cut by someone who has nice scissors? Why should hiring a photographer be any different?  Why is the skill of the photographer not

This cutie decided he was way too busy to be still for even a nano second during his session!  He had pillows to carry, laps to run, and anything else he could think of that did NOT include looking at me or sitting or standing still!  But...I was able to eek out a couple of great shots.

This was the second time I photographed this awesome family and I was so happy that they made the drive out to my new favorite photography spot - Day's Dam in Elyria.  It's part of the Black River Reservation in the Lorain County Metro Parks.  Beautiful park and ditto for the family!! :-)

This weekend, anyone placing an order over $149 will receive a code for 50% off any future print order*.  This code will never expire and can be used to order additional prints from the current gallery or it may be saved for a future session. Also, all orders over $149 will receive a CD of web-ready images of their session.  These images will be processed and sized for email, facebook, etc.

I just helped a friend email some images from her point-and-shoot camera and the files were SO large that she couldn't send them in just one email.  I checked her camera and saw that she was shooting on the default setting which happen to be the largest size file.  Unless you are going to print super-huge images (larger than poster-size) or plan to crop an image by more than 50%, you do not need

Things have been quiet around here the past few months.  After the huge holiday rush I had to take some time off because I was having a rough time being pregnant with twins. I was a gestational surrogate and delivered twin boys in March to help a couple complete their family.  I also delivered their daughter in 2009! With all the baby-growing behind me, I'm now scheduling sessions again and am

They say everything happens for a reason.  This session was booked back in August, and then rescheduled twice which was a good thing because we ended up shooting on an absolutely perfect December day!

If you have not ordered your prints yet and would like to have them by Christmas, please remember that not only will I be busier with orders as we near the deadline, but so will  my lab.  This means that the turn-around time to receive your prints may be greater than normal as it gets closer to Christmas.  I recommend placing your order no later than December 1st to ensure delivery by Christmas.

Most guys just tolerate their senior pictures.  When I photographed Danny's brother two years ago I was thrilled that he was actually happy to have his picture taken.  Danny was more than happy - he was a natural in front of the camera and really enthusiastic about it.  It was awesome to photograph another willing senior guy, not to mention such a good-looking one!  Thanks, Danny - I really

Baby Ciera could not have done any better for her first modeling job.  I think we could have played with her all evening and she wouldn't have woken up!  Isn't she precious?  More of Ciera to come in a bit but I wanted to get these up so mom, dad, and grandma could get a quick peek!

This session took place last week when it was so unbearably hot and humid - fortunately we met in the morning and were able to finish up before the heat hit.  The kids were just wonderful and it shows in these gorgeous images!

Could these girls have BEEN any more gorgeous?  (as Chandler from Friends would say!)  Subjects like this make my job SOOO easy!  Thanks, girls, for starting my day out on a high-note!  You were all such a pleasure to photograph.

Baby Benjamin was a very UN-sleepy baby!  His belly was full, he was perfectly content, but also wide awake all three hours we spent with him.  Although we weren't able to get any of the 'squishy baby' images we wanted, we did get some 'beautiful baby' ones!  But how could we not...look at him:

Avery's session turned out as adorable as I envisioned!  Am just beginning to edit but had to stop and post this one! I had planned on doing the whole session in black and white, but her bedroom was so colorful, as were her jammies and clothes that I am going to have to edit them in color as well!
