Brenna, class of 2009 | Senior Pictures Photographer in Columbus OH

Brenna was a little bit of a straggler getting her senior pictures done since it’s almost graduation time!  We had so much fun though, she brought a lot of outfits and things for props, and we started in the studio before heading over to the Short North, ending with some nighttime images.  I’m still working on whittling them down to a reasonable number, there’s  so many good ones!
First we have “funny picture of the evening”.  This guy wasn’t the only person to ask for his picture taken (just the only person to actually pose).

This is the picture I was working on capturing when the guy showed up.  Actually there was a parked car RIGHT where I wanted to stand.  And I was just saying how I wished I could go inside the car to get the angle that I wanted.  When lo and behold, the car’s owner came to drive it away.  Hooray!

Fun maternity pictures sneak peek | Columbus Ohio maternity photographer

I had a blast doing these maternity pictures at the new studio space.  My previous spaces were smaller or I was lugging a bunch of equipment, so I wouldn’t bring everything I might want to use.  So we had a lot of fun doing the creative shots I’ve been wanting to try out, we even went outside for some urban sunset shots!

This first one is an “almost silhouette”… you let some spill of the lights on the subjects so they’re not totally dark and you can see some features.

While this next one is a true silhouette… this was outside with the sky in the background.  Awww aren’t they cute?

This next one is with a fancy fabric panel for the background and one of my maternity wraps:

Then I have a series like this next one that was really fun, doing some dancing maternity pictures. :)

And this last one is a nightscape shot (it looks darker outside than it really was).  We were out on Oak Street, running into the middle of the street, snapping a picture real quick, and then going back to the side to avoid the cars.  I think everyone was out driving on that street right when we went out! :)

If you happened upon my blog via a search engine and are looking for a photographer in the Columbus, Ohio area, you might want to go check out my main site which is at http://www.dgnphoto.net, where I have galleries & pricing information. And as always if you have any questions or would like to book a photography session, you can give me a call at 614-323-3147.

What kind of photography do I do? I am a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, but I would say I am primarily a portrait photographer and the majority of my clientele are people wanting family portraits, senior pictures, maternity & newborn photos, and children & baby portraiture. And then secondly I’m a wedding photographer, and I accept a limited number of weddings per year. Occasionally I wear a pet photographer hat, and I also do corporate & acting headshots. My studio is on Oak Street in Old Town East, in Columbus, Ohio (hours available by appointment only), but I split my time there and out on location shoots (parks and urban areas are my favorite!)
