{Mari} | Funky Ohio Senior Photography

Mari had a very special session. Not only did she get to have a fun senior photo experience, but she also got to shoot a session with her friends! :) How fun is that?!

My head is always buzzin with new ideas, and because of how much fun I had in the laundromat with Miss Brooke, I knew Mari would be up for the awesome idea I had up my sleeve...

I love to shoot dancers. There's always a new fun way to portray their talent. I love sticking them in a grungy place with such a delicate look as a ballerina. I just loved Mari's outfit choice for this shot. Especially the pearls!

Here are two of my favorite black and whites from the day. LOVE the headband.. so Boho! My fav!!

FABULOUS hair by Rachel Elliot! HOLLA!

After our one on one fun, we met up with her friends. My car was a constant hum of girl chatter! It made me realize what I have to look forward to with two girls of my own. Lol!

Love this shot!

Nic loves Allyssa | Ohio Wedding Photography

I was looking forward to Nic and Allyssa's day, not so much because I look forward to every wedding (who DOESN'T want to party?!), but because I knew it would be fun. I had an inkling when Nic wore a Ghostbusters shirt (and Allyssa had no complaint) in their engagement pictures that this day may not be your ordinary wedding. Boy was I right!

A few shots of the girls...

{Amelia} | Funky Ohio Senior Photography

Let me tell you, There's nothing more exciting to me than shooting something that has been in my mind for a while. To me it's like dreaming of your unborn childs face and then seeing her (in my case) for the first time. I know others who may not have the creative bones may think that is a bit drastic, but I think in every aspiration is this feeling of joy. Amelia was the one who had all the pieces to fall into place for one of my very far fetched ideas. Let me show you some from her incredible shoot and then I'll get back to what I mean...

Amelia has a GOREGEOUS home. I have been lucky enough to shoot here before, but it's super special to shoot here for Amelia. I know it means alot to her mom, Penny. You can check out some of Penny's wonderful designs here.

We shot a few around Van Wert and I love alot of them, but this one is to dieeeeeee forrrrrr! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?!

Photobucket

We then ventured over to my hometown and shot before getting to the "main event"! I love these images!

Ok, so here it is. I figured we would shoot with the horses. I was keeping my fingers crossed that we would. And my toes. And my eyes. Pretty much anything I could cross, was crossed because I LA-OVE horses and Amelia's family's horses are Amazing with a capital "A".

I have had this vision in my mind for a long time. A horse. In Water. I always envisioned a senior girl or even a bride, (I'm up for this, by the way! Any brave brides out there??) so when Amelia sent me the facebook message that we were shooting with the horse I almost came apart at the seams with joy. Okay, I screamed and danced a jig. My kids thought they had officially sent me around the bend.

Fast forward to shoot day and voila! Everything went *swimmingly*! lol!! Ch-eck it, I'm in love with the black and whites ;)

And as they were loading up, I figured if we were crazy enough to put a horse in water, why not ask Amelia to get in?

Thanks so much Amelia! I'm so excited to show you all the images!

**A little side note..
From this point on we are running the studio as appointment only. With Liberty in school now and Lyric at the mobile stage it's easier for our life and schedule to go by appointment only (Which is basically how we are running things anyway.) There will be many days where I am working from home because it's more normal for Lyric. Any Questions, please call me (419.203.0889) or email (jtphotography@live.com) and I will be happy to answer them for you! :)

Our Fall QuickTakes are fast approcahing and time slots are filling up F.A.S.T.! Get your spot soon!

If you are new to QuickTakes they are a 15 minute session of your choice for the low price of $20. Thats a huge savings from our regular priced sessions. You may double up (30 minutes for $40) as well, but please make that clear when youa re scheduling so you get back to back time slots.

I thought I would share some of my favorite Fall QuickTake images from the past and throw in some of the best Christmas cards designed from these sessions :) Sorry for the small image size and the awful branding...
