Tracy – Class of 2015

by

It was delight to photograph Tracy!  She is a senior at Jonathan Alder High School and loves to play soccer.  After high school she plans to major in biochemistry.

I had not met Tracy before the evening of her session, but something that stood out to me was that she is comfortable with who she is…I admire this in her.  To me she seemed to have an outward confidence, however she would say that her friends see her as quiet, shy, and yet driven.  No matter how others “see” Tracy, I believe the person that she is inside is summed up in her favorite quote, “Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.”

Blessings to you in your future, Tracy!  Enjoy your senior year!

Pete & Deborah: Couple Session {Scioto Mile – Columbus, Ohio}

by

The evening of Pete and Deborah’s session was so enjoyable!  In fact, Jerry (my hubby) came along and we did dessert afterwards…an evening with friends!  In preparation for their session Deborah’s request was “artsy, whimsical, fun, editorial photos.”  You see, Deborah is a fellow photographer (DG Photography)…a very good photographer, I might add!  She wanted to update her business pictures and also wanted to get some new pics of the two of them together.  We went to the Scioto Mile in Columbus and the sun was shining beautifully for great romantic/artistic shots…as you’ll see Pete and Deborah are naturals in front of the camera!

Now, let me tell you a little about Deborah and our “history” together…. Deborah and I started our photography businesses around the same time and God allowed our paths to cross.  It has been such a blessing to walk this journey with her!  Whether we’re discouraged, excited, overloaded, have a new business idea to discuss, or need to learn something related to photography we can share with each other and truly understand what the other is going through!  And our conversations don’t always just center around photography…lately Deborah said that “maybe” a 20 hour road trip may exhaust our topics of conversation!! 🙂  Deborah has a special zest to life and a depth of character that is challenging.  Her desire is to delight God in all she does.  The way she views life adds a unique twist to mine!  She is not only a colleague, but a true friend!
