| AHS & RHS Alumni Band 2018 |

October 4, 2018 ~ ssrmdesignsphotography ~ Leave a comment

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!

Cool air brings pumpkins and crisp colorful leaves! Last weekend’s session with the Robertson Family was on a beautiful fall day with a hint of color occurring in the leaves! You may recognize many of these faces from sessions this year and previous years, they are some of my favorite yearly sessions, but it isn’t very often we get to photograph them as a group! It also just so happens that the Robertson Family is also some of my family, and what’s more fun than getting to capture your own family! We never have a dull moment, from the fun pups to the crazy and scary eyes of Brok! What a gorgeous day for a great family, thanks guys and can’t wait for the next time!

It is officially fall here in Ohio! You can see a hint of color starting in some of the trees, the air is a bit cooler, and then sometimes back up to the hot and humid, and the fall decorations are appearing on front porches around the area! Last weekend I met up with the Truscelli Family at a local lake for their family session! It was a beautiful day with gorgeous trees, water, and lots of laughs! I love when families jump in with posing ideas and share their thoughts, it makes the session just that much more special for them! Thank you Truscelli Family for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

It’s always fun when you get to work with your alma mater! This year I was approached by the FFA to produce a new and updated sign for their stand at the football games! Current students, parents, and alumni work alongside one another to grill for fans at all home football games. This year we went with the blue and gold school color to help the sign pop against the new white roof put on their stand and added the FFA and FFA Alumni logos to the left and right. Homecoming is this Friday and if you are looking for a great meal to support a great program, stop out to the FFA Stand for burgers, brats, and a refreshing drink! Thank you FFA and FFA Alumni for all you do for school and program and Go Streaks!

Every senior session is unique and special, Hunter’s was no exception! We roamed our high school’s downtown and found some great locations, then headed out to two of his favorite places, and even had a helper who was amazing! Thanks Mya! Hunter’s smile was so sweet and you could tell he is enjoying his senior year, it goes fast and he is making the most of it! He has a very bright future ahead after high school and I know that he is going to do so well! Congrats Hunter and best of luck after graduation!

Everything about this family makes me smile! The Grooms Family is another one of my yearly sessions and each year I can’t wait to see how they have grown and changed, it won’t be long before the oldest is taller than me! This year, we headed out to the beautiful Sauder Village Campground and Little Lake Erie; after a few days of heavy rains, we had a gorgeous and cool fall day. We even found a couple trees whose leaves were just starting to show a hint of color, giving us the perfect feel to the start off fall! I love every minute of my conversations with each of these kids, I always leave having learned something new! Mason wanted to do a recreate of an image we capture back in 2014 and challenged me to do a side by side of them for their sneaks, challenge excepted! Thank you Grooms Family for another wonderful session, have a great Fall!

The Henry Family has kicked off our 2018 Fall Season! Our first session with gorgeous pumpkins, mums, and straw bales! I have known the Henry Family for a long time, from going to school with their boys to showing at the fair and being in the same 4-H club in our small town; I was honored to get a message a few weeks ago to capture them on a beautiful and warm Labor Day! After a quick couple miles down the road, we got some wonderful shots of this amazing family and their adorable grand kids! Two handsome young men on pedal tractors and a gorgeous girl with beautiful flowers made their session perfect! We had a very warm morning, but the kids were troopers and we were able to beat the noon heat! Thank you Henry Family for a wonderful start to our Labor Day!

What better way to celebrate the Labor Day Holiday Weekend than with a wedding?! Phil and Kim tied the knot last Sunday, while it was very warm and humid, that didn’t stop their family and friends from helping to make it a beautiful day! I had gotten an email from Kim just days before the wedding saying they had a big surprise for Phil, and a wonderful surprise it was! Their getaway ride was an old Ford tractor, belonging to Kim’s uncle, that Phil had been wanting to take out for a spin; it was always conveniently unavailable due to being prepped for their big day! Delicious food and cupcakes, with the cupcake stand made by Phil, wonderful conversations, a beautiful couple, and an evening tractor session made for a spectacular day! Congrats Phil & Kim!

When you wear a hot dog shirt to your session, you know it’s going to be great! Brok is hilarious, his personality matches his shirt perfectly! We had beautiful weather the other day as we strolled through downtown Defiance for his session. I love my yearly sessions with this handsome guy, they are always full of laughs, giggles, and scary expressions! Brok started kindergarten this week and I’m sure is going to rock it! Have fun this year buddy!

Summer is quickly coming to a close and schools are back in session, warm nights are quickly fading, and the days are starting to get a little shorter. Luckily I got to spend one of the last few days before school with now AHS Senior Katie! We had so much fun finding grassy spots, which are some of her favorite places, adventuring, and coming accross a great old barn! From great smiles and serious faces we had so many laughs and even dodged a few mosquitoes! She is sure to stay busy with school, being an FC, and playing soccer, best of luck this year Katie!
