I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely family up at Inniswoods earlier today. The weather sure has gotten colder out in the past week, it was a tad chilly! And we’re quickly losing light at around 6:30. But we got some great fall pictures, here’s a little sneak peek!

Newborn babies just melt my heart. I have to get my newborn fix with other people’s babies since I have my hands full with 3.

WOW, Inniswoods is so beautiful right now! The fall colors are amazing, and the majority of the leaves are still on the trees. I go up there at least once a week, sometimes more than that, for shoots, and in the span of one week, it went from having just a few colors to being gorgeous, with bright orange and yellow leaves. Amazing! (of course they’ll all drop off just as fast, and then I’ll be grumpy about the bare trees until spring. That’s when we start doing photoshoots in the city rather than at the park)
This past week, I had a lovely family with a very active almost-2 year old! He sure did give me a run for my money. But such a cutie and a lot of fun.
I need to change to a different blog style that lets me post bigger pictures (this one screws up the formatting if I do that), because you can’t see their faces as well as I’d like in the small pictures.
This one was the wobbly bridge that he thought was a lot of fun to jump on:
This last one, it’s hard to see in the little picture, but he has this HUGE grin on his face, and it’s just the epitomy of happiness. He loved to be swung by the arms like that.

As you can tell, I’ve been really busy! Last Thursday was the first day of the Janie & Jack photography promotion, Friday I did the wedding (see the previous post), Saturday I recuperated a bit, worked on the wedding photos and photos from sessions the weekend before, and today I had the 2nd day working at the Janie & Jack store at the Polaris Fashion Place mall, taking pictures of some more adorable little kids!
Are you ready for some cuteness? Hold onto your hats!!! (and again, the gray background is from turning the backdrop lights off… I find that when some kids move around a lot, if they get too close to the backdrop lights, they turn white and it ruins the photo. Also, larger groups can fit on the backdrop if they are close to the back, and the lights need to be off for that. But now I am kind of partial to the gray color, I really like it a lot.)
I had the pleasure of photographing Brian & Stephanie’s wedding on Friday, which was held at the Kelton House in downtown Columbus. The dress, the location, everything was simply beautiful (except the mosquitoes!) Check out the cake… pistachio and raspberry! Stephanie’s dress was beautiful, with a vintage flair. I got the wedding photos up on the web quickly (more or less unedited) so they could show them at their party the next day.
Here are the pictures!
Today I spent the day at Janie and Jack, doing their photography promo. There’s one more day there, on Sunday (and that’s going to be a packed day!) I had a similar setup to the one at Pottery Barn Kids, but I changed a few things with the lighting, so these will look a bit different. This one I had a smaller backdrop (because of the smaller store), and I used 3 lights instead of 4, because the 4th got in the way of interacting well with the kids (much as I like the look of it!) And because of the smaller backdrop, if the kids were moving around a lot, I turned off the backdrop lights (the ones that cause the backdrop to look white), because if the child would go in the lights’ path, they would look white too. I kind of like the look of the gray backdrop though!
Anyway, are you prepared for some cuteness???
