Born To Be Wild.........

Here is one sweet ride! It belongs to a very good friend of mine. He wanted some pictures of it, so we took advantage of the unusually warm weather and got some great ones! I had some fun with the post processing and this is one of the ones that I came up with! I think that it is my favorite! Thanks for letting me take these photos! It was so much fun! Be careful on it!

Bethany ~ Class of 2010

Meet Bethany! Bethany is a wonderful girl that I know from the band. We got together and did her senior session at Fort McIntosh in Beaver. She is interested in Civil War history, so this was the perfect place for her portraits! I really love how unique they are! I am always up for an adventure, and this was a very educational one! Bethany, enjoy your senior year. As I tell everyone, it will go by very fast! Good Luck at PIMS!

Miss K and Little I

Meet Miss K and Little I! We were hoping that we would get good weather and we did! It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon! Little I was feeling a bit under the weather, but she did wonderful! Miss K is a natural! They are both so beautiful and I had a wonderful time during our session! I hope that they had fun as well and I look forward to watching them grow! Enjoy your video girls and the rest of the nice weather before the snow flies!!

Kelsey ~ Class of 2010

Meet Kelsey! We met up at her home for her Senior Portrait session. Kelsey is on her school's tennis team and she plays piano. That is why I choose Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as her song. It is one of my favorite piano sonatas. Kelsey, I'd like to thank you and your family for welcoming me into your home! Have a fun-filled Senior Year! It will go by fast!

Meet Evan! We actually got a nice day for his Senior Portraits, although it was a bit chilly! Evan is in a band, and is also into swords, which led to some neat portraits! He brought his family along for his session and they were great! As we were walking up to the tracks, a train came, so we seized the moment and got some really unique shots! Evan, I hope you and your family enjoy your portraits! Have a wonderful Senior year and enjoy every minute of it. It will go by fast!

My Favorite Subjects..............

my beautiful girls! Fall is my favorite time of year. We took advantage of a beautiful day, which lately are hard to come by with all the rain we've been having! They are growing up so fast and it seems as if every day goes faster! I'm so happy that I got to record this moment in time. Now if I could only stop them from growing up! No, seriously, everyday is a new adventure and I wouldn't trade a second of it! I Love You Girls!

Sam ~ Class of 2010

Caution!!! Image overload! Meet Sam! We had some trouble getting Sam and his family to our first spot due to some detours, but once we got started, it was great!! Sam is in a band, and brought along his two guitars. He plays very well, as I got to listen while I took some pictures! Sam brought his mom and sister with him and we had some laughs! We had a scary moment on our way up to the tracks, as there was a civil war re-enactment going on and they were shooting muzzle loaders in our direction! All in all, it was a great day! We got so many great shots that it was hard to narrow it down! Sam, have a great Senior Year! It will go by all too fast! Good luck in your future pursuits!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece and handsome nephew! Aren't they adorable?! I am late on posting this, and for that I do apologize! We had so much fun taking these photos! My nephew does not like to get his picture taken, but he did wonderful! I hope that they had a wonderful birthday! It was great spending time with them! I love you guys!

Matt and Megan ~ October 2, 2009

What's All The Racquet About?

The LHS girls tennis team, of course!! I had the honor of photographing them last week. Again, the weather put a damper on the photographs. I was not able to do the poses that I wanted to do, as it had rained all day and the wind was very harsh! But we got them in and had a little fun doing them! Girls, have a great season! Here is a sneak peek at your team photo!

Megan and Matt October 2, 2009

This past Friday, I had the honor of photographing Megan and Matt's wedding. Megan is the sister of my best childhood friend, so this one was very special to me! I have a lot of great memories from when we were younger! They had some obstacles on the day of their wedding: heavy rain, getting stuck behind a car accident on their way to their wedding, but in the end it was beautiful! Megan and Matt were surrounded by their immediate families. As we stood in the gazebo in the pouring down rain, you could feel that love was in the air! Megan and Matt, I wish you the best that life has to offer! And if the old adage is true that if it rains on your wedding day it means good luck, you will have a ton of it!

RAYSL Fall 2009

I have been photographing the entire RAYSL soccer league since the Spring sessions of 2008. I am honored to be able to not only photograph these children, but to watch them grow up as well! It is amazing how fast that happens! This is one of my favorite team photos from this year's Fall sessions. The coach came up with the pose and the props, and the girls added their attitude! It's great!! I hope that everyone has fun this fall and good luck to all the teams!

CONGRATULATIONS.........

to one of our 2010 Seniors, Kelsi. She has been chosen to be on her high school's homecoming court! We will be there cheering you on! Good Luck!

Busy, Busy, Busy........

Meet Jamal and John! We got together on a beautiful Sunday to shoot their Senior Portraits. We had fun and captured some great moments! You'll see some of the fun in a few shots that I couldn't leave out! Jamal and John, you will not find any bugs in your portraits, but if you look closely, you will find that our squirrel friend did make it into a shot or two!

Steven~Class of 2010

This past week, I got to meet a fellow band member (yes I was in the band!)! We got to have some fun with his band uniform at his school's practice field. As you can tell, I couldn't pick which one I liked the best! Steven is also on his school's tennis team. We tried to take some on the courts, but there was an unscheduled match in progress. So we improvised and got some really nice shots outside of the courts! Steven, I hope you have a fun-filled Senior Year! Enjoy every minute because it goes by fast!

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!

It's that time of year again! One of my favorite times of the year!! FOOTBALL Season!! Last night, I attended our 1st hometown High School football game and I got to spend that time with some friends. It was so much fun! As I sat there, I remembered a poem that I would like to share with you all. Not only does this apply to football, but to all sports played by boys and girls alike! Our boys played a long hard game, and I am extremely proud of them! Although this did not apply to any of the fans within my earshot last night, or maybe not to any of the fans in our stadium, I am sure that it applies somewhere! So go to your High School football games and cheer on your boys!! Just remember one thing: They are just boys, not men!! Read on!!

Please don't curse that boy down there

He is my son, you see;

He's only just a boy you know,

He means the world to me.

I did not raise my son, dear fan,

For you to call him names;

He may not be a super-star

And these are high school games.

So please don't knock those boys down there,

They do the best they can;

They've never tried to lose a game,

They're boys and you're a fan.

The game belongs to them, you see

You're really just a guest;

They do not need a fan who gripes,

They need the very best.

If you have nothing nice to say,

Please leave the boys alone;

And if you have no manners,

Then please just stay at home.

So, please don't curse those boys down there,

They'll hustle 'til they're done;

And win or lose or tie, you see

To us, THEY"RE NUMBER ONE!!!

Chelsey~Class of 2010~Part 2
