Seriously, where does the time go?

Although we take pictures weekly, if not daily, we often don’t make the time to blog and post them like we should!  And its always hard to narrow down the shots to just one selection, so many of these themes have more than one image.

Dust off the archives, below include themes from week 16 -25!

Week 16

Theme:  mine 

We had to show him how to collect the eggs, but once he figured it out, he did not want to let go! 

Week 17 

Theme:  pastel

Pastels on a baby @ the beach at sunset! Precious!   

Week 18

Theme:  moody

Boston’s 6 month shoot – his first photo made him seem moody… but we promise, the rest were all smiles! 

 Our little man is often quite expressive… observing, before smiling and laughing.  This night, however, he was actually getting sick (we didn’t know at the time) so he was cranky, fussy and no smiles at all!  

Week 19

Theme:  faces 

Ethan’s expressions are priceless.  Happy, sad, angry, mad, grumpy, cheerful, and everything in between.

Think he is growling here.

And here he is, calm and quiet.  

A rare occurrence, but he is listening for his soon-to-be-brother inside momma’s tummy!  

Week 20

Theme: light

Sunlight sessions, backlighting, sun-flare… a recent obsession [of Teresa’s] so it was hard to narrow down the shots on this theme.  Here are some favorites…

Harbor Town, Hilton Head @ sunset 

Yoga outdoors allows you to experience nature; earth, wind & sunshine

Week 21

Theme: [our] backyard 

Hanging out in good ‘ol Ohio…

Hello Gabe!  At our parents’ farm. 

Enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the tree swing 

Tractors and diggers = a little boy’s dream come true 

Week 22

Theme: [our] life 

We love our families.  Our friends.  Our Heavenly father.  But we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being mommas.  Our boys are our life!

Week 23

Theme: blur

Blessed and honored to be able to capture this proposal on camera…

don’t worry, they didn’t all have this sea-grass blur, but this seemed artsy and fit the theme!   

Week 24

Theme: motion

This child NEVER. SITS. STILL.  Like ever.  

Here he is dancing away on the beach.  He is likely screaming, laughing and singing at the same time.  

More motion, energy and life in this little guy than anyone else we know!  

Week 25

Theme: dreamy 

This beach, sun-set, surprise proposal really was a dream.  Again, so blessed to have been a part of it!  

 Thanks for viewing!  Hope to see you soon!

2013 was a FABULOUS year!  Some of our memories include…

~ Expanding our wedding packages and clients. We had a BLAST working with brides and grooms as they commit their lives to one another. #happilyeverafter!  Our most searched post this year was Mr & Mrs Jones tying the knot ~ see the stats for yourself                     —->

~ Our first fall and winter/holiday mini session packages.                                                                —->

~ Lots of fun engagement, family and senior photo shoots .

~ Our new venture into newborn photography! We did some adorable babes & can’t WAIT to get our hands on some more!                        —->

~ Expanded our blog content (only blogged 6 times in 2012, blogged 14 times in 2013… hey, its improvement, right!?  The goal was once per month!), increased our client base (we <3 you all!) and created a FaceBook page (finally!).  Hope to increase blogs to at least once per week in 2014! Tell us what you want to see, hear and view!

~We began covering events (other than our own families!)…

• Made Local Marketplace  —->

We spent WAY TOO MUCH money at this event!  All the made local stuff is not only A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E, but it supports your local community.  We even bought stuff that inspired JP’s first birthday party theme (Event coverage to follow in late January!)

• Kid’s Corner on New Year’s Eve.  We got to take pics of families, while hanging with our boys (the husbands brought the little guys!)  —->  

We will be posting instructions on how to view the NYE photos in the very near future.

A big THANK YOU to all our clients for letting us capture your precious memories in 2013.  We have met some great people and hope to work with you again in the new year!

Spent lots of time with family the last few days,  

remembering ‘the reason for the season!’

Merry Christmas, to you and yours!

Fall is one of our favorite times of year to shoot… leaves turning and falling, crisp air, holiday card sessions.  Also love capturing ‘behind the scenes’ moments ~ couldn’t resist posting this great shot of Kelsey in action at the beautiful Indian Run Falls!

October has kept us busy and we can’t complain!  We are so thankful for all our clients and the opportunities to capture those special moments.  We’ve had six mini sessions, two senior pictures, several families, a Dublin non-profit event, assisted Grogan Studios on a corporate event, assisted Gable Photo on a wedding and still had time to take some pictures of our own little guys!  We are blessed 🙂
