last week i had the pleasure to do an e session with tina and mate. they are such a wonderful couple with a bright future. tina has such a spunky personality and mate i am sure keeps her laughing all the time. mate proposed to tina in chagrin falls and they wanted to do their engagement session where they made the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together. here are some of the pictures from their session. i can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year.




















i am going to take this time to talk about the importance of a brides wedding dress. now most brides feel the need to wear jeans and a t-shirt to their wedding but this fad is slowly dying. a bridal gown will soon be something that every bride wears. it really makes the bride stand out in her special day making her look even more amazing than before. i highly suggest anyone that just got engaged to make it out to expressions bridal and formal in mentor and see marcy. these are her adorable girls i had the pleasure to know personally and photograph last week. seriously girls, aside from photos, a wedding dress is the most important thing in a wedding.














ok so we were at beachwood place last night getting some last min stuff. i walked by this booth that said ‘kids idol‘ and got a quick look at the display, ‘your child is the star of every song’. this was the coolest thing ever. we needed presents for our nieces and thought it would be a great idea. they have mickey, dora, elmo, etc singing kid songs and every song the character sings your childs name in the song! now they don’t have everyones name but of the 2,000 child names he had, we got the ones we needed. emma, eva and grayson. not that common of names. anyway, we were sold. as i was waiting to get the cd’s i looked down and the person checking us out had a newspaper with his picture. the news herald did an article on him and we found out later he was on channel 5 news. as i was reading the paper it said ‘this 17 year old high school senior’. this kid was 17 and owned his own business since he was in 10th grade! i was amazed because most of the kids his age are out being goofballs and this kid has been in the workforce with his own company. and it was a really cool concept. big things in the future for this kid but the point of the story is that these cd’s are really cool and personalized so if you can’t get one for christmas it’s def and idea for a birthday for little ones.

hey guys. we will be closed from monday, dec. 24 – wednesday, dec. 26 to celebrate the holidays with friends and family. we will not correspond via phone or e-mail during that time. we hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and blessed new year. i will be back to post a 2007 year in review but until then……….so long!
