Last fall we had many wonderful sessions with families and seniors, with only a few having to be rescheduled due to the weather.  Mason’s seniors session was one of those and we were finally able to meet up with him to capture the first part of his session before the weather turned cold and wet again.  We headed downtown for some great shots of this young man who brought a stellar smile to his entire session!  The post rain clouds gave us a great look and even though it was cold, you’d never know by the images.  Thank you Mason and family for a wonderful afternoon and we look forward to this spring as we capture the remaining part of your session!

This year’s senior guys have made a statement and Brodie’s session was no exception!  We met at Independence Dam, headed downtown Defiance for some classy suit photos, and back to school for some wrestling shots with this State Champion!  Brodie has had an amazing soccer and wrestling career and he is looking forward to a fantastic senior wrestling season.  Senior sessions are a large collaboration between photographers and a senior’s family.  We all work together to make sure we are capturing each senior’s unique personalities and activities and we had a great time with Brodie and his mom and dad last weekend, they were such a huge help with wardrobe changes, unlocking doors,  fixing wrinkles, and running to the car.  The little things never go unnoticed and we are grateful to all of the wonderful families that we work with!  Thank you Brodie and family for a great evening, best of luck this coming wrestling season!

The rain these last couple of weeks has caused many session reschedules, but the results have always been worth it!  We were able to spend an evening last week with the beautiful Alizabeth!  From downtown to a local nature preserve, she brought a great energy and passion that we are sure will take her far in life!  The fall colors are strong and we hope that they hang on for just a little bit longer so our remaining fall sessions can share in them!  Thank you Alizabeth for a wonderful evening!

Several years ago we photographed this young man for the first time around this time of year in a bean field, and to this day that is still one of our favorite images of Colton.  What an honor it is to be able to capture families over the years and watch kids grow into wonderful young adults and begin to pursue their dreams!  We had a great time with Colton last weekend where started out in a gorgeous wooded area and then headed to Spengler Field for some sport portraits and action shots on the soccer field.  A great soccer player, you could see how much Colton enjoys the sport as we set up each shot and brought ideas to life!  Congrats Colton and best of luck in the remaining soccer season!

Our local schools are back in session, that means seniors are in full swing, and Rusty helped to kick off our fall season with a one of a kind session!  We started by meeting this wrestler at the athletic complex and then headed fishing, our first senior to take us fishing!  After a small hike down a rocky slope in warm, humid temperatures, and a couple casts later, the avid fisherman caught his first fish in this particular spot.  As the sun began to set and the mosquitoes arrived, a storm started rolling in as we wrapped up our last set.  Congratulations Rusty and thank you for a exciting evening, best of luck in your senior year!

Archbold High School recently wrapped up their football season after a fantastic run into the playoffs!  This last weekend was beautiful and warm with a hint of fall color still left at one of our local nature preserves where we headed out with AHS Senior and football player Jake Beaverson!  Growing up Jake could be found in the creek by his house or playing football, so the woods and football field were the perfect spot for this senior guy.  Though he suffered some injuries this season and wasn’t able to play as much as he had hoped, his love for the game showed as he continuously threw the football and smiled non stop.  It’s been a pleasure capturing this young man over the years and I look forward to hearing about his post high school plans.  Thank you Jake for a wonderful evening and best of luck in your senior year!

The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, and signs of fall are all around us.  This also means getting to spend time with area seniors as we capture their senior photos!  Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting up with Zoe and walking a local downtown to find the perfect spots for her before we headed out to hit the trails of a Goll Woods, a state nature preserve.  It was a beautiful day, with gorgeous evening light and a dramatic golden hour!  I’ve been lucky to work with Zoe each fall through the AHS Marching Band and their numerous activities.  Her beautiful smile lit up every picture; from brick wall to a wildflower patch, she was stunning!  Thank you Zoe for a wonderful evening, best of luck in your Senior Year!

Homecoming season is here and with that comes special halftime shows and activities for all of our local schools and bands.  I once again had the honor of capturing my alama mater’s alumni band this year!  The AHS/RHS Alumni Band was strong with many members returning to help celebrate homecoming and to pick up their instruments one more time!  Having been a member of the Marching Bluestreaks in high school, I know that the traditions run deep, the pride is strong, and there’s nothing like the sound of the drum cadences while marching!  It was amazing to see so many alumni standing next to current marching band students and to hear all of them together made you proud.  What a wonderful job by all alumni, students, and those whom helped to bring the evening together, looking forward to next year!  Thank you AHS/RHS members for an amazing evening, you sounded great!

Now that August is here, that means school is just around the corner and seniors are getting ready for their final year of high school!  Last Saturday I spent the evening in our small town with Brock, an upcoming Archbold High School Senior!  We found some great spots downtown and then took a short walked to his house and used their amazing old barn!  Not only was it perfect, but I learned a little bit of our town’s history and Brock’s family’s history!  As golden hour approached we took a quick drive to a local woods and took advantage of the warm summer evening, a great location, and a beautiful sunset!  Thank you Brock and family for a fun evening and best of luck this coming year Brock!

Fall, the smell of falling leaves, cool rains, pumpkins, mums, it’s my favorite time of the year! October also means it’s Archbold High School & Ridgeville High School Alumni Band night! I am honored to be able to capture this evening each year, to see faces I don’t see often, catch up with them, and reminisce! What started out as a rainy morning and afternoon, turned into a gorgeous night for everyone. Events are such a fun thing to capture, you never know what’s going to happen, a drummer could break out into dancing to James Brown or the flag girls could lift trumpet player! A huge thank you to all involved for making this evening happen for the Alumni, the 2017 AHS Marching Band, the speaker Mr. Hoverman, current AHS Band Director Beth Voll & her amazing staff, it was a fun night to be a part of! Looking forward to next year already! Go Streaks & Falcons!
