So I know that these blog posts should be primarily about either our photos or our studio, but sometimes there are exceptions. It’s September. That means several things this year. Just like any other September, it marks the beginning of Fall, the 22nd this year to be exact. It also marks the beginning of NFL and college football seasons. GO BROWNS! and GO BUCKS! There is also Labor Day…to most of us that means a day off! WoooHooo….and in the midst of it all there is a lot of fun things going on in Cleveland. I’ve come to see all the great things Cleveland has to offer this month all because of one VERY VERY VERY special day that will be happening this Labor Day weekend…Kim’s wedding! Kim has spent countless hours these last few months putting together what will be the most spectacular wedding of the year and I am so glad that I get to be a part of it! In the process she has compiled a list of fun things for her out of town guests to do while they are in town. For those of you who are new to the city or who have lived here for years and have just never explored some of these events, here is a list of some things going on this weekend and month:
Oh and more recently, Kim and I, discovered a new and exciting place that somehow we were never aware of until now. And, again it’s all thanks to her wedding planning! Even though we have yet to step foot into this wonderful candyland and no joke, it is candyland. B.A Sweetie Candy is the largest candy store in the USA!!! One more thing that makes Cleveland that much greater! I’m sure once I have my first experience there I will share it with all of you unless you beat me to it.
Do something new and different this month. So while Kim is beginning her new life as a married woman maybe make this month the beginning of your new appreciation for living in Cleveland. Cleveland does have wonderful things to offer so go out and enjoy them, at least before summer is over!
Well he’s not quite a man, but he is a big fan of music. His mom, who is an amazing woman, has enrolled Little V in music classes to expose him to different instruments and introduce him to other kids his age. He doesn’t always have the biggest smiles, but he sure gives us something to smile about. However, his mom is always the one behind the most creative photo shoots. We don’t provide props here at our studio, but we always allow our clients to bring in whatever they like. In this case, Little V’s mom brought in a music stand, a trumpet and a recorder, not to mention she dressed him in the cutest outfit! (she always does) This little boy doesn’t step out of the house in anything but the best! Like I said he has a great mommy and we commend her for all she does for him, he is a lucky boy! And how do you like at his Converse shoes with that outfit?! Perfect!
This little man is so freakin handsome!!!!! Too bad my baby girl is only 11 months old!!!!

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.
These are some my favorite things (in no particular order):
1. sunny days
2. flip flops
3. spending time with friends and family
4. sparkly things
5. coffee
6. my car
7. my dogs
8. dancing
9. ice cream
10. and of course one of my top favorites and the reason I decided to write this blog, is the the color GREEN!
I practically love everything that is the color green…This little girl is not only sooo cute but has the most amazing green eyes and the dress she wore, with the wonderful green outdoor setting was perfect! Green and purple is one of the best color combinations out there and these photos really exemplify that. For moms and dads out there getting ready for their family shoot, keep in mind good color combinations when it comes to getting you and your kids dressed. Try and stay in the same box of crayon colors and refrain from cartoon characters or any image that would be distracting. And remember, letting them wear one of their favorite things might not be a bad idea!
147 days until Christmas or the we look at it 147 days until you’re holiday cards need to go out! (well a few days less than that since you have to take into account mailing time). If you know that you would like to send out holiday cards this season, give us a call so we can put you on the calendar. The earlier you schedule the better. Many of our clients love to use outdoor photos from either their summer or fall shoots. To be honest, I don’t blame them. Who wouldn’t want to receive a beautiful, clear sky, outdoor family portrait taken in Cleveland while snow falls and ice covers the streets in December? It’s just a sweet reminder of what we had not too long ago and will be waiting a long time to see again. So, although we have had nice weather for the last week, don’t count on it staying that way for much longer. Take advantage of the few short months we have. It doesn’t hurt just to pick a date because just in case it rains we can always push back the shoot to another (possibly rain-free) day. And just to get your wheels turning, below are a few examples of the various custom designed photo holiday cards we have designed…
I recently did a location shoot for Walden. Walden offers a world-class travel destination and an innovative spa-lifestyle community. Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s credo for happiness in daily living, “simplify, simplify,” Walden is composed of an award winning inn, luxurious spa, residential community, and golf club. In addition to the still photos I captured for their new website, I secretly shot video for Dynamic Visuals to be used for their website, marketing, or other promotional purposes.
That’s my boy !!!!!!!!!!!!
