Kathy and Kelly

Kathy Piech-Lukas of Your Dream Day asked me a while back about doing some head shots for her portfolio. Kathy is a member of the Dayton Bridal Connection with me and we decided to have another member Kelly of Cinci Makeup do the makeup. She does a wonderful job and brides out there if you are looking for makeup for your wedding day....you should check her out.



Classic Kathy...










We did a few shots of Kelly as well and I will actually be doing more for her next month so check back for those.

I LOVE PRADA EYEWEAR!!!!!

OPTIMISM

Okay......Okay.....Okay...... I know I'm super behind on this blog. I promise to be blogging some pictures soon. (I have two portrait sessions and a few personal blogs to post) But this evening I just had to put this link up for you to see. Click here and then click on this picture

to watch one of the best commercials I've ever watched. It's so cute and inspiring and I hope it makes your day :)

Out of the office!

I will be out of the office Friday morning through Monday evening. I promise I will have some more posts when I return. Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial day weekend!

Amanda and Doug.....

I had such a great time photographing Amanda and Doug's e-session. We started at their beautiful home in Troy and then headed over to Doug's parent's home and property. Aren't these two gorgeous??? Ken and Barbie eat your heart out!!!
A and D thank you so much for having fun with your session. That's what it's all about :) I can't wait for your wedding this September!!!














I saw a similar shot like this from a photographer I admire, so I tried my own version of it!



my fave...

Kate

Meet Kate!!! Doesn't this baby have the prettiest eyes??? This sweet little girl is such a good baby and I am so glad her mom signed her up for 3, 6, 9 12!!! You will be seeing a lot more of her in the next year. For now enjoy her cuteness at 3 (okay she's just a bit older than that right now) months!!!

I DID IT!!!!!

I ran 13.1 miles on Sunday in the Cincinnati Flying Pig Half Marathon!!! I'm not going to say it was easy (there are lots of huge hills in Southern Ohio and I think the course they made had us run up all of them. LOL) but I did it and am pleased with my time. 2 hours and 32 minutes. Thanks again to all my friends and family who encouraged me along the way! Here are a few photos. (taken on our little low quality point and shoot camera) I'm wearing my signiture color lime green of course!!!

Tomorrow's the Big Day.....

Sunday May 4th I will be running in the Cincinnati Flying Pig HALF marathon. That's 13.1 miles! I'm excited and a little scared at the same time. I think I'm ready.....well as ready as I'm gonna be. I am lucky to have my two great friends Leanne and Hardie running it with me. (they have both ran full marathon's before and have been helping me along the way) Thanks so much you two....I don't think I could be doing this without your help! Also thanks so much to my friends and family who have encouraged and supported me along the way. I will try to post on Sunday how it went and some pictures too! (do I really want to post pictures on the internet of myself after running for 2-2 1/2 hours???? It's not going to be pretty LOL)

Hope you all have a great weekend!
