I am a Columbus based photographer and welcome to my blog.
I love to photograph babies in the tummy, babies out of the tummy, kids being good, kids being bad, kids with special needs, kids with fur, couples in love, families being themselves and seniors in between text messages :)
I have a fun and carefree style that I think you will be very comfortable with. Of course I love to take the classic picture where everyone is looking at the camera with a perfect smile but what I really love to catch is the real "in between" moments. The candid moments that you will cherish forever.
This is my photo blog where I will share favorite images from recent sessions and blab about my interests and family.
Thanks for visiting my site and taking a look. I really appreciate it.
Taken in five minutes in a sun soaked field on the way to Japanese Steak House on her 11th birthday while the others waited in the car:)
Happy Birthday to my tall, fabulous, beautiful, animal loving, cupcake making daughter. It is so fun watching her grow up and become her own person – so far so good.
Love this girl…
October 7, 2011 - 3:26 pm - What a lovely way to share the Birthday Girl. Yes, she is her Mother's daughter and Grandma's girl. I couldn't be more proud of my 5 Grandchildren. What joy they bring. Grandma Ellis
October 7, 2011 - 12:04 pm - Love these. She looks just like you! Happy Birthday:)!
October 7, 2011 - 11:45 am - She is beautiful!! I see her mama in her:) Happy Birthday Ellie!
I finally have proof that these poor 6 children do have parents…
Introducing Wendi and Paul:)
Can’t wait to show you the rest but had to sneak peek this one first:)
This is Brad’s (husband) sister’s family! Did I use my punctuation correctly? Hmm.
Loved this session because (a) it was somewhere new (Mansfield) (b) Brad came and tagged along since it was his sister – it was fun to have him there even though he was a bit opinionated and (c) walking around a new place learning and seeing where their grandparents went to church and where Cheryl got baptized was cool. We bonded:)
Plus…downtown Mansfield had a great vibe. Didn’t know that. LOVED that they wanted to go urban because I totally had them pegged as park and trees and green grass people. When Jerry said he wanted to go downtown I wanted to chestbutt him.
I have known these two since they were hatched. You can find Kelly chit chatting and hanging out with her friends and you can find Nathan hacking into the Pentagon. Kidding. But these two are as different as my Ellie and Brynn. Keeps it interesting:) And Kelly WORKED it for me. Loved that. So so so photogenic and natural with a camera pointed at her. Fun.
One of my favorite couple shots ever. EVER.
One of my favorite walking away shots ever. EVER.

Grant is pink barf Abby’s brother.
What you say?
Once upon a time Brynn had a best little friend named Abby. Total best buds while they were in preschool together. One Summer they took a dance class together. Her mom and I took turns driving them and picking them up. Well. One morning I went to pick up Abby and right when we arrived at the studio she announced that she “didn’t feel so good” then luckily LUCKILY jumped out of my van and threw up bright pink poptart all over the sidewalk. Hilarious (to me only) and to this day when we walk on that sidewalk Brynn will remember right where Abby threw up and announce it. But, unfortunately she now has been nicknamed “pink barf Abby” in the Blackstone household because we have now gotten to know other Abbys, lol.
“Brynn, I ran into pink barf Abby’s mom today at Toys R Us”
“Who did you take pictures of tonight?” “Pink barf Abby’s brother.”
“Pink barf Abby’s mom was soooo nice because she took us to McDonald’s all the time!”
Anyway I had a great time hanging with Grant and Dee on this beautiful night. We cruised around in a golf cart around a club because…
Grant really
really
really
really
really loves to golf
and he also loves his doggy (notice his golf club cover)
and the last images were taken on the grounds of his elementary school – which I thought was cool…
Loved taking your Senior pictures! Had fun watching you worry about getting into trouble! You really really should have driven the cart over that bridge for me!!
