Lottie Doll costume design winner

This little girl was a winner of a costume design for her Lottie doll.  She designed the below costume and then they had it made her for.  How cool is that!  I had the privilege of shooting this for the Lotty Doll campaign.  The best part is, we will be getting a little shipment of Lotti dolls next week too!!! 

American Greetings

American greetings contacted me to do a little shoot for their website to display their cards.  It was so much fun.  A little stress-filled as it was raining all week and I had a week old baby.  It rained as I set up the table and then I knocked the whole thing over.  I forgot the hot cocoa and the ground was so muddy.  But we did get a few not worthy shots.  While you scroll down notice the mouth watering baked goods courtesy of Mrs. P's Gluten Free Bakery.   So good so good.  I was super nervous to send in the images but it all went well and they loved them.  I will post a link as soon as they go up on their website.  

Ohio Photographer… and pretty models.

I never did post the group pictures…. sorry about that.  Shouldn't be to painful for you to look at these beautiful models again.  FYI, I am shooting one of these girls wedding next summer.  She's the pretty one……good luck guessing which one. You will have to wait and see! 

Funny jokes.

My father isn't a very funny guy.  He is kind, and honest and wise.  But funny he is not. So when he tells a joke, you remember it, if only because of how out of place it feels.  Two men were out fishing in the woods when they stumbled upon a hungry bear.   The two man turned and began to run.  A moment later one of the men sat down and pulled his running shoes out of his back pack and began to put them on (not quite sure why he had his running shoes in his back pack).  His companion commented, "What are you doing, you can't out run a bear?"  The man with the running shoes replied, "No, but I can out run you!"  I like my Dad, a lot. Below is a photo shoot I did a few weeks ago.  This is Missy.  She was a lot of fun to work with and had lots of fun ideas.  The camera loves her.  It is always fun to work with eccentric people.  Thanks Missy.

This little shoot was put together to capture some of the stunning art work some of the girls from the design program at Kent State have put together.  Awesome huh.  Makes me wish I could sew.
