The crunch of colorful leaves and the last of warm glow of the sun set the scene for Emme and Amelia’s fall portrait session. It’s been a little while since Emme was in front of our camera but she is just as jovial now as she was when she was a baby. Now she has little sister Mia to keep her company. Mom and dad made some appearances in the photos too.
This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of kicking off 2012 with Stephanie and Stan’s wedding at the Old Cuyahoga Courthouse in downtown Cleveland. We had the good fortune of running into Stephanie and Stan a week before their wedding at a little get together to celebrate the birthday of a mutual friend, Devin, the husband of wedding planning sensation Heidi of Heidzillas. This gave us the chance to briefly connect on a more personal level outside of wedding planning madness which, interestingly, can make the day of the actual wedding go much better as everyone is simply more comfortable with everyone else.
After doing Sam’s brother photos a couple years ago, Sam himself decided to choose us for his high school senior photos as well. It was very interesting to witness the difference and slight similarities in personalities between the two brothers because I know how different my sister and I are. The weather was not especially cooperative that day but Sam was up for anything even standing in the rain for the shot.

First off is Nicole and Dan’s engagement session in Ohio City. As we walked through the streets near the Great Lakes Brewing company, there was a strong scent of cinnamon and coffee cake in the air which likely came from the brewing of the (in)famous Great Lakes Christmas Ale which was probably in full swing at the time. Dan was a little apprehensive about being in front of the camera at first but unbeknownst to him, he’s a natural, and the session turned out great. We’re looking forward to their wedding which will take place at the new 700 Beta in early September, so keep your eyes on the blog for that when the time comes.
