Abby & Derek: Married! | Chillicothe Ohio Wedding Photographer

I have been so lucky so far this summer to have had absolutely beautiful weather for each of my weddings! Abby and Derek’s Chillicothe, Ohio wedding was no exception, and as you can see from this sampling images from their wedding, the day was just lovely! Big congratulations to you, Abby & Derek!

I really love this picture, it’s so touching to see this kind of emotion behind the bride’s eyes as she walks down the aisle toward her new husband.

Abby & Derek chose the Adena Mansion in Chillicothe as a site for some of their portraits following the ceremony.

The reception was held at The Madison, which is the old post office and former Landmark Christian Academy in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. This was my first event at the new Madison, and I am sure I will be photographing many receptions there in the future as this is a wonderful location!

Abby Sams - Crissy! I absolutely love these! Can't wait to see more! You did a beautiful job! Thanks again!

Danielle & Simone | Columbus Ohio Children’s Photographer

I recently did a fun photo session with sisters Danielle and Simone. Not only are these little girls absolutely adorable, but they have the the warmest, most bubbly little personalities which really show through in their images. I had a great time shooting them!

Austin Curtis - Such great photos! Found your site while looking up Tave testimonials. I think we will be signing up with them! Awesome blog and congrats on the pregnancy! Our little one is turning 1 soon - such a trip! Best thing ever! PEACE

Addison is 1!

I have been photographing little Addison since she was in her mommy’s belly, and I’m happy now to post a few adorable shots to mark her first birthday! It’s amazing how quickly time passes, and hard to believe that I will be photographing my own little one in a few short months! :)

Angela, Mark, and Chris: Family Portraits in Chilllicothe, Ohio

I had a fun photo session in Chillicothe a few weeks ago with Angela, Mark, and Chris. It was a very breezy, but beautiful spring day, and the photos turned out just lovely! Angela mentioned that she and her family were moving into a new home, so she was excited to order some large wall prints, which turned out so nice!

Angela - Chrissy did such a wonderful job! I love all of my 16x20's. I cannot wait until I get to hang them in our new home. When the time comes, I will for sure have her taking our pictures again!

I’m having a baby!

Many of my clients are already aware of this, however, since finding out what we’re having I thought that this was a great time to make the official announcement on the blog that I am pregnant! I am 21 weeks, and we are expecting a baby boy in August. We could really not be more overjoyed! :)

I am feeling fantastic, and will be shooting and booking portrait sessions through mid-July.

It’s probably a little early to be posting embarrassing photos of my son on the internet (see ultrasound photo on the right), but, being the lover-of-photography that I am, I just couldn’t resist.! :)

Veronique - Congrats to you Crissy!

Melissa - SO happy for you. :) Can't wait to see some amazing photos of your handsome little boy in the future!

Suzanne - Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you guys! I'm looking forward to more belly pics and lots of baby pics when the time comes!!

Emily - I am so happy for you both! You'll make great parents, and there certainly won't be a shortage of photos along the way. :)

Sarah Smith Photography - Congrats!! Hope all goes well with the rest of your pregnancy and delivery :) I have two little one's, my youngest being a boy and they are so much fun!

Jessica Nicole - congrats!!! :)

Karen - Congratulations Crissy!!! I am so happy for you and glad you're feeling great! I shot a wedding up until 3 weeks before I had my baby boy - I think I was even more exhilarated to work up til the end! Can't wait until Baby Boy is here so you can post lots of photos!

Jenn - Congratulations! :)

Actor’s headshots: Elizabeth

While most of my business comes in the form of family portraits, children, babies, seniors, and weddings, I also occasionally shoot professional headshots for actors. Free flowing lifestyle portrait sessions are a great creative alternative for actors looking for headshots that really spotlight their personality. I had a great time shooting Elizabeth, and I am looking forward to seeing where her new career path will take her!

Sarah Smith Photography - these are beautiful, i love that first shot of her in B&W, great expression!

Adie’s Senior Portrait Session | Grove City Ohio

As usual, I am so busy with the shooting and editing side of the business that I have neglected to post all of the wonderful session images captured over the past few months. So, for your viewing pleasure, here are a few shots of Adie’s senior session which was shot on one of the last sunny days of the fall season. This session was shot at her family home near Grove City, Ohio. The property and house were just perfect for the mood that I was trying to capture!

Emily Porter - These are gorgeous, Crissy! I absolutely LOVE the first shot!!!

Valerie & Billy: Engaged!

Boy oh boy, am I behind! I have several sessions to post, starting with Valerie and Billy’s engagement session photos! Valerie and Billy really wanted to do their session in the snow, and while it wasn’t the snowiest day of the winter, we did luck out by having a little bit of the white stuff on the ground at least. Our shoot took place on a very cold and windy day, but I think you can see that the warmth of their connection still managed to show through beautifully!

I am looking forward to shooting Valerie and Billy’s wedding in October!

Pheirser - Love it, want more updates crissy gal! You're clearing excelling at freelance photography, it's wonderful to watch the collection accumulating on your blog here. MORE PREGGIE LADY! <3 Jo

Pheirser - I commented on this already surely.. maybe you accidentally deleted it.. well anyways, it's a delight to see you updating your blogs... and keep at it, your photos are fanfunkintastic

Pheirser - alright, I don't get it.. she who's studying computer programming stupidly says about missing posts

Keith & Lacie: Chillicothe, Ohio Wedding Photography

Someone really needs to smack me on the fingers for not blogging these beautiful sessions much sooner. Following are some of the amazing moments captured and Keith and Lacie’s beautiful wedding from October. They were married on the most gorgeous autumn day, probably the last really beautiful day of the fall last year. Perfect timing!

Also, just a note to my potential wedding clients out there, my spring/summer 2009 is getting extremely full at this time, so please contact me soon if you would like to book your special day! :)
