CLASS OF 2010 MODELS WANTED!

I'm starting a Senior Model program to help get the word out about the exciting things happening here at the studio. I've had so many happy seniors here this past year I wanted to start a program so their friends can get the same amazing experience and quality of photographs they received. I am currently taking applications and you can find the application by clicking here .
After you save the application and fill it out, you can email it back to me with a recent photograph of yourself. If you have any problems please let me know and I will send it to you directly.

Some of the benefits of the program are: 3 FREE sessions, model cards to hand out to all your friends and being featured on my website or blog and possibly next years image catalog. I will also give you customized images for Myspace or Facebook. The biggest benefit is having senior portraits all your friends will be jealous of!!

Here's a few sample Model cards.

Marriott Courtyard Hotel





I love weddings around the holidays because the churches are always decorated nicely and many times you get some gently falling snow that adds a nice touch to the photographs. Lisa and Adam had it all on their special day! The church was covered with poinsettias and they had some snow falling and beautiful decorations at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. In case you didn't notice the "ears" in the photographs, they are going to Disney World for the honeymoon.

Family Memories


I've taken the past 4 weekends off to spend some time with my wife and kids. I also had the opportunity to see my parents over Thanksgiving and it was great to visit with them again. I haven't seen them in a while so it was really nice to be able to spend some quality time with them. When I returned home, I received an order from Jessica and Kristopher's wedding that I did back in May. This is an image of grandma proudly holding her grandson's hand and walking around the church and me trying to capture the moment without being seen. This image unleashed a range of emotions - it's a wonderful reminder of how important families really are!

Raintree Country Club




Thankfully the beautiful fall weather carried over into November for Katy and Seth! They were married Saturday at Saint Paul's in North Canton and Seth's grandfather performed the marriage ceremony. It is a beautiful church with wrap around seating so you can see from every angle. After the ceremony we went to Raintree Country Club and took advantage of the beautiful day. The hall looked amazing and the food was really tasty!

Alison and Bryan




Alison and Bryan met at Ashland university. They spent their first date sitting on a bench talking all night in the beautiful park-like setting. They wanted to meet for the first time on their wedding day and spend some time walking around campus before the ceremony. We met at the bench where they had their fist date and they exchanged gifts and Bryan gave Alison a necklace that complemented her gown perfectly. After the ceremony they walked through their crowd of friends and managed not to get burned by all the flaming sparklers! The reception was in the campus convocation center.

NEOUCOM Weddings




Saturday turned out to be another perfect day for a wedding. The trees were in prime color and the temperature was comfortable. Seth and Valerie met at Princeton where they both attend. The day was really cool because we celebrated two ceremonies. The first ceremony was at Immaculate Conception in Ravenna and the Jewish ceremony was at NEOUCOM medical college in Rootstown. The reception was in the main ballroom which was decorated beautifully and had really romantic accent lighting.

St. Matthews in Ellet




I am way behind on my postings! The leaves have been beautiful and it seems like everyone wants their photographs in the fall leaves so I have been super busy. Marsha and Gary were married on the 11th at St. Matthews church. It was great to work with the Holcomb family again as I had photographed Gary's brothers wedding a few years ago. It's always nice to see familiar-friendly faces. After the wedding we stopped at a park and then stopped by their house to capture a few images of them in their "new" Belvedere convertible.
The reception hall was decorated beautifully and since they were engaged at a lighthouse, the decorations reflected that theme. They even had a ice sculpture that looked just like it!
