Dayton, Ohio Senior Photographer: Andy - Class of 2011

I sure hope I don't embarrass Andy with this post!! Andy is my little cousin and he's all grown up now!! **tear** Just recently I was looking through old photo albums and I passed through the pictures from his mom, Sherri's, baby shower and then his baby pictures when I was holding him. It doesn't seem like it was THAT long ago! Seventeen years later, Andy is starting his senior year of high school. He will be graduating from Carroll High School in 2011. He's looking at several different colleges right now, but I'm hoping he picks OSU so he can come visit Adam and me for dinner! I promise, I can make a good old, home-cooked meal!

So, here are about a million pictures from Andy's senior session at Cox Arboretum. Andy tells me only girls get a million senior pictures taken, but sorry Andy! They were all just way too great not to post. Wait until the girls check these out! Maybe he should blow off the whole college thing and get into modeling. :)




I got a REAL smile! And it was the result of me saying, "Be serious," which made him start laughing.




Bill, Andy, and Sherri... what a great family pic! Andy looks so much like his father.


The soccer star!


Enjoy! Thanks for being so cooperative and agreeable, Andy! Only once did we have to threaten to tickle/play peek-a-boo/play hide-and-seek with him to get him to smile. :)

Dayton, Ohio Children's Photographer: Sophie is Two!!

I can't believe it! Little Sophie is two years old already! It seems like just yesterday she was turning one. She sure has grown up a lot over the past year! She's just the most adorable young lady now! Every time I see her or am talking to her mommy Beth on the phone I hear Sophie say, "Hi Sheri," only it comes out more like: "Hi Sare-wee!" She reminds me so much of Michelle from "Full House." So cute!



A family pic where we got everyone smiling!

And Keegan, aka. "Keegy-weegy," was just a baby. He'll be walking before you know it! You can just see his first little tooth poking in on the bottom. He was all smiles (as always!) for the day.



Sophie is SUCH a Daddy's girl. He is the one that can get those big smiles from her.
Ok, I got this smile from her. :)
Happy Birthday Sophie!!

Columbus, Ohio Children's Photographer: Meet Baby Rahman!

I have been waiting a long time to meet this little guy. My friend Shayla had been e-mailing me her pictures of him and I instantly loved his little smile, big eyes, and poofy hair. :) And, today, I finally got to meet the little 3-month old Rahman Amari, or "Deuce" or "Amari" or "Rahman Jr." or whatever you want to call him. :)
Shayla and I have been friends since I moved to Columbus and we worked together. You may remember way back when, I took Shayla and (big) Rahman's engagement pictures. Gosh, that may have even been before I kept this blog! Then, I photographed their wedding on New Year's Eve several years ago. And here we are today, with their adorable little family.
Love this expression! Just one of many of his signature looks!

A little football picture for Daddy.


What a gorgeous family!!

What a precious angel! Like father, like son (see their wedding post!)
Dreaming about football... My photos wore him out!
And then I stayed too long chatting that he woke back up and was less than pleased to still see me there, and nonetheless, I had yet another prop for him to wear!
Little Rahman is just too cute! Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me. Enjoy the pics!
