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!

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.

Right now I’m working on catching up on a few sneak peeks from the past several days. It is always so hard for me to choose which ones to put up! This family was a pleasure to work with, and I think their son is aiming to be a pro photographer when he grows up. He had all kinds of ideas for good spots for pictures!
I love the fall, and how it brings out new colors. The trees are just now starting to change color, it’s really the perfect time for pictures… before they drop off and the trees become bare and brown.

I’ve known this family for about a year now… we did the baby’s newborn session just about a year ago! (boy, time sure flies!) These pictures were (somewhat) for her first birthday! We went down to Franklin Park, which was a new place for me. I think I want to go down there again! Their red hair is so gorgeous. I especially love how it looks with the little pink/lavender dress.

This little guy is a big fan of Bob the Tomato (from Veggie tales), and one of my tricks for getting little kids to look at the camera, is to tell them that their favorite character is inside the lens. He was more amazed at the idea, than thinking it was funny though, and throughout the whole rest of the session, he’d call my camera “Bob da mato?” Little kids are so cute.
Anyway, we had an enjoyable photography session over at Inniswoods. The weather and the light was great! I couldn’t have asked for a better day, or a cuter little subject. Here is the sneak peek! (hopefully his mom hasn’t worn out her refresh button yet 
And this last one is his trademark face that he makes. I think it’s adorable!
I had a busy weekend with a mass cleaning spree to get my house presentable for company, meanwhile they’re hitting ‘refresh’ and hoping for their sneak peek… well, I’ll make it worth your wait, guys… here’s 6 for your sneak peek. 
Friday, I met up with this cute young family over at Inniswoods for their family photoshoot. At first when I heard the ages of the kids (9 months and almost 2), I thought “oh, this is going to be a challenging shoot!” but the kids turned out to be very laid back and happy. And we had a lot of fun doing some creative shots (which are my favorite, one of the reasons I like photographing on-location so much)
Ok now if you go back in my blog, you’ll find quite a few ’sun flare’ shots… I love sun flares, and try to grab one whenever I can. This one is a play on the ‘couple kissing with the sun flare’ idea, with the kids on their shoulders.
I love his eyes, they’re such a pretty color blue.
This next one was actually not my idea, but theirs! Baby in a tree… (she is actually being held from behind, so no worries of falling out of the tree!)
The light in this next picture, I thought was very captivating. Such a warm glow.
And then we have the back/rim lighting from the sun and the interaction between dad and baby. I thought this photo was very sweet.
If you look in the blog back a few days, you’ll see some silhouettes from a maternity session. I am still in a silhouette mood, so I worked on another one this time. I really like how you can see his long eyelashes (he was ‘done’, and we were headed back to the parking lot

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of heading over to Dayton to shoot two families at once. I set up my new high-key backdrop and lights set up indoors, and we did some in front of the backdrop, and some outside. We got some great shots and it was loads of fun.
These guys hail from Ireland, and I thought the Irish-themed dresses were too cute!
Their little girl was just too precious for words. So… how old are you? Is that 3 on the head?
Or… 3!!!!
This one makes me laugh every time I see it, so I had to include it.
And then here’s a sneak peek for the other family. These are a few of the studio lighting ones. I’ll just start out with a funny one because I love the funny ones.
And awwww so cute. I suggested that they hold hands to relieve his stranglehold over her head.
They are so sweet to each other!
And then a really sweet one with mom…
I had a real hard time just picking a few for the sneak peek, there are so many good ones!
I’m a little bit behind in editing pictures, this past week has been crazy busy for me. So for those subscribed, sorry for the mass amount of sneak peeks here, that I’m going to post. I don’t like to spam people’s mailboxes…
Anyway, the weather smiled upon us, and after having 3 reschedules (2 for weather, one for sickness), we were able to finish our photo shoot! Hooray! We were starting to wonder if fate was trying to tell us something… (lol)
This little guy, what a cutie! These are some fun ones:
I am on this sun flare kick. And a hold kids in the air kick. This one was just a small sun flare, just peeking a little through the trees. I think he likes being way high up, what do you think?
I had another session for 2 year pictures yesterday, and the park was the perfect place for a little energetic boy to run around and have fun.
I’m posting more than my usual sneak peek, because I thought it was cute that their grandma subscribes to my blog. So the extra pictures here are for grandma.
That’s up in the treehouse at Inniswoods, and he was thrilled to be so up high!
(The ranger didn’t see him climbing on his golf cart, which he thought was the best thing since sliced bread)
So… we were originally scheduled to do these 2 year pictures last Tuesday, but it was downpouring. So we rescheduled for Thursday, but the boy was sick and coincidentally so was I (I got a BAD cold…) so we rescheduled it for today.
On the way over to Inniswoods, I saw a few sprinkles on my car. We stood there debating about what the weather was going to do. It would suck to walk all the way back into the park, only to get caught in a downpour (especially for my camera equipment), and this is what we saw from the park entrance:
Hmmm think that’s coming our way, or going some other way? We had part of the session before the drops started to come, and we decided to schedule the other half for next week. So stay tuned for more cuteness next week, but here’s the sneak peek from what we did get (at the park entrance) today.
I don’t think this kid takes a bad picture, ever… and so easy to photograph being all smiles. Good day for him, bad day for the weather!
The last one was after she removed his white shirt so that it would stay white for next week. But how cute is that?
