Nick and Anitha's Engagement Session!

 

I had the great pleasure of taking Nick and Anitha's engagement pictures! We went to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, its such a beautiful place and the weather could not have been better!  It was really nice to get to know Nick and Anitha, they are so sweet, Nick didn't even mind when I called him Matt (my sons name:)).

I have so many pictures that I really love from this session and here are just a few of my favorites!

J.J. and Lenore

 

Last week I met J.J. and Lenore for a

session at Rockefeller Greenhouse  in

Cleveland. It was a

beautiful place and J.J. and Lenore

were really fun, I think J.J. was a

little nervous, but he warmed up quick enough. Here are a few of my

favorite shots.

Matt and Michelle's Engagement Session!

 IMG_2279  I did a really fun engagement session recently with Matt and Michelle and I wanted to put up some of my favorite pictures. The session was at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Ohio. I've never been there before and it was a really a cool place!

I called Michelle to go over what she was looking for in their session and she told me she just couldn't see herself in the "wilderness" but she likes to shop so we went shopping! Matt and Michelle are so much fun and I cant wait to shoot the wedding in July, 2010!

After Matt proposed, they went to The Cheesecake Factory.

Doug and Mandy's Wedding! Aloha!

    IMG_1297     Doug and Mandy were married on April 24, 2009 in beautiful Kauai Hawaii! The Ceremony was at the Grand Hyatt Resort and Spa, in a beautiful garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean! After the ceremony they had a very nice reception complete with authentic Polynesian dancers! and a fire eater!

I went with Chris Baldwin of Graham River Productions and we spent several days with Doug and Mandy, just hangin' by the pool, climbing rocks and playing in the ocean! It was great getting to know them, they are truly wonderful people! I wish them much love and happiness! And I am so excited to share some of my favorite shots! I may be putting them up for a few days because, well really, how do you choose? :))

 

Mahalo Doug and Mandy for the incredible experience!

The view at the golf coarse was unbelievable! Look to the left and see the mountains, look the the right and there is the ocean!

Welcome Baby Colwyn!

  On January 12, 2009 at 8:06 am Mike and Kira welcomed Colwyn Arthur into their family. Colwyn weighed in at 5lbs 11oz and was 19 and 1/2 inches long! He was very alert , just looking around at everything and he looks just like his Dad! I'm happy to say both Mom and Baby are doing very well and I cant wait to do more pictures of little Colwyn when he comes home!
