DGN Photography in Columbus, Ohio – newborn, maternity, baby, child, family, wedding photographer, senior pictures

This past weekend, I had the honor of photographing this lovely family for the third time! The last time was for the youngest daughter’s 2 year pictures, and this year she is turning 3! And she is just as spunky as ever. You’ll see one from the 2 year session in the blog header, that one was also at Homestead Park in Hilliard, OH.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

I had the pleasure of meeting new baby Jolie (such a pretty name!) for her newborn photo session. We did her parents’ maternity session about a month ago (which you can see the sneak peek if you scroll down a bit in the blog). She has so much chub already, and I think she has the world record for the biggest poo during her photo session. Here are some favorites for a sneak peek:

I think she really is smiling at her mommy and daddy in this picture!

I’m offering mini-sessions until 5/31/09 (the details are posted on my site under ’specials’), which is a great deal. You get 10 images on CD (in color and b/w) and 10 5×7’s, with a 30 min (1 backdrop) studio session for $150. (see my site for the rest of the details). The feedback from these has been great! Here are a few shots from the mini-sessions in the past week:

On April 25, 2009 I had the pleasure of witnessing and photographing Patricia & Michael’s wedding, which took place at First United Methodist Church in Newark, Ohio. It was a beautiful church with an awesome big window behind the altar. The reception was held at the Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio.

Here are a few favorites:

That’s her grandmother, who at 87, flew all the way from the Philippines to be at her wedding (with her grandfather too). That’s a long way to fly at any age, let alone 87!

I was a bit amused because all the guests upon entering were all waiting in line to sign the guestbook! We were wondering where people were, and then found out they were all standing in line waiting to enter the church.

I was able to run up to the balcony to capture this wide angle shot of the wedding while the minister was giving a 5 minute speech. I really like how it shows everything.

One from the series of the bride & groom shots after the ceremony in the church’s courtyard.

A panorama from when we got to the golf course for a few quickie shots.

These guys were a riot! I have some fun photos of them dancing, too.

Patricia hugged the guest and their dresses stuck together… it took 2 more people to get them unstuck. All was well, the dresses were unharmed.

Someone came over to me and said “hey, there’s an awesome sunset out there!” So we went out and got some great sunset shots.

I love this shot of them dancing!

They had a lot of dancing going on! The couple on the left, they really knew how to move!

love this shot of Mike.

Ok it’s hard to pick out all the favorites, so look at them all on that link above.

Photographing Patricia & Michael’s wedding was so much fun, and it was so beautiful, you couldn’t ask for a better day. Best wishes to the happy couple!

Wow, April totally flew by, didn’t it? It was a busy month for me with a wedding, portrait sessions, and then working on the studio, getting it more in order. I still need to get my driver’s license renewed, yipes!

So, *drumroll please* the winner of the April blog contest is… Shanna Young! (her 2nd entry from a referral was the one drawn)

Here’s a cute video of my kids choosing the winner:
