I had the pleasure of meeting with Sydney & Brad (another Brad) on Sunday. Sydney was born & raised with art in her blood so she was pumped about the location she and her mom picked out for us. I was super excited too, but couldn’t help but notice or really ignore all the ‘no trespassing’ signs (I counted atleast 12) that were on the property…but we walked away unharmed and without any confrontation and it was all totally worth the risk! We all were impressed with all the different textures, colors even Sydney was impressed with the daisies!! Great spot!
These two are tying the knot in October and I can’t wait!!

I love how there is one little piece of green ‘life’ inside this dusty, yucky, old barn.

Diesel the dog made an appearance!

Sydney wanted to take a souvenior from our session, she even tried to take a ‘wall’ of a barn but settled on this old rusty screw. Thought it would be a neat shot with the reason we were there in the first place – the ring!

These two lovebirds are getting married in just 10 days! Yep, that’s right 10 – TEN big ones! So for those couples wondering when it’s appropriate to have your engagement session done the answer is WHENEVER YOU WANT TO! 10 months, 10 weeks, 10 days…

We had a great time exploring downtown on Sunday. I have a new thing going and really want to find some new areas of town [I am growing sick of the same spots] and we did just that. It was fun, spooky and sometimes maybe a little unsafe, as Brad would comment ‘watch out for needles’! but hey that’s Toledo and you’ve got to make the best out of it! Can’t wait for the wedding!! Enjoy your sneak peek ~

Love this ring…

Yep, that’s right. Good ole bowling fun. The other night a group of local photographers got together to bowl! It was a lot of fun ~ I’m just thankful they don’t make you keep score yourselves so that the score sheet isn’t laying around with my score on it! But I’m sure I’m not the only one to think that, right Bob!? Here are a few shots from our happin’ time at Interstate Lanes!

Mary is going to be the Interstate Lanes spokesperson! HA!

Here’s most of the group that showed! [Minus Nicole & Sam from Everlasting Images & Mike [Mike Brice Photography] TOP-Stevie [Grand Lubell], Joe [Shutterlove], Michelle [Michelle Ellis Photography], Bob [Grand Lubell] BOTTOM-Carli [Shutterlove], ME & Mary.
I’m not really sure who would actually admit their score this time around OR admit that they were be a weee bit sore! But I know I hope to go bowling again soon! Or atleast just hang out…it’s fun hanging out with people who share the same interests & ideas. We try to meet once a month, but that could be getting a little difficult with our busy season . But if anyone is interested in coming along - please contact me or someone from the group!

I love this time of year. People are in better moods & there are lots of colors outside!

This is actually one of the best things that came along with the house…a huge patch of Lily of the Valley! I love it ~

This is what I saw this afternoon and it was too cute not to share…
