Brianna & Dominic were a fun couple to work with! And their winter wedding was exactly what I was looking for to get into the spirit this year!! I was honored to be a part of their day! We had a few hours in between the wedding & reception to use as photograph time (which was awesome) But the day of the wedding the location of the photographs changed a few times (which made me a little nervous) but in the end, we all went to the Toledo Zoo to capture some fun, yet romantic images. Both Brianna & Dominic wanted the snow, the lights and did not care how cold it was (or the fact that is was snowing!) & I was so fortunate to have such an easy going couple & bridal party! I thank you both! Here are some of my favorites ~

I Love a bride that isn’t afraid to make a face!

This last image was taken during the reception, it might need a song title to go along with it… but I’m not a dj and only know it as the O-H-I-O song… [Dominic is the Michigan fan and Brianna the Ohio State fan]

After bundling Grant into a few layers, hat & gloves he really wasn’t sure what to do with the snow! But we lastest about 15 minutes and should be ready next time ~

Well! Now that it is Christmas Day, things have definitely began to slow down ~
We had a few days out of town with family, enjoying the company and seeing everyone again and well catching up on my sleep!! We are back home enjoying our family of three today and since one of us needs his nap, I thought this was perfect time to catch up on my blogging!!
Before I do, I want wish EVERYONE a good, safe and happy holiday!! And thank EVERYONE that has touched me & my business over the past year ~ it’s amazing what I’ve accomplished the past twelve months and wouldn’t have been possible without you! I’m truly happy and soooo excited to begin another successful year!

Okay now onto these 3 shots…
I took my son to see Santa a few weeks back (daddy had to work) ~ and let me tell you, it was fun and if you are a parent, you probably have been in my shoes! The first image says it all. The introduction did not go over too well.

But give a kid a candy cane and you’ve got a happy kid.

It’s that time of year!! And with the help of my Mary & Pictage, I did not have to design, make or create my holiday cards this year! I decided to promote our awesome fine art cards! (great for thank you cards)
If you want one, just send me your holiday card and I will be sure to put one in the mail from my family to yours!!

Well, what can I say? One of my favorite couples this year finally got married! She, the cheerleading coach and he, the football coach – what more could you ask for? Their wedding day was absolutely perfect! Beautiful bride, gorgeous dress, flowers, church oh and our groom was a natural in his tux! I sooo enjoyed photographing in the Greek Orthodox Church, in fact I wish I could do it all over again and again. Thank you, Jamie & Jeremy for letting Mary & I be a part of your day! I hope you had a blast in St. Lucia!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I think she might be our youngest flower girl to date! Jamie’s niece, Evie, and such a cutie pie!!

Jamie’s wish of snow on her wedding day came true! (they were good for about 5 photos and were ready for the limo!)

Here are just 2 from the reception ~
