I met Cory at his girlfriend’s session a few weeks ago.  I liked him immediately!  During her session, I over heard them talking about Cory’s accident.  Looking at him, I had no idea he was in a near fatal accident just months prior.  Many of you might remember the story from the news or you might have even joined the group “I am Praying for Cory Lundy” on Facebook.  Well, this is him and from looking at these pictures you would never know he was in an eleven day coma with a tramatic brain injury.  To read more about his accident and recovery, check out the links above.

Minutes into his session, he had all of us laughing hysterically and continuously!  I should have added all the funny out-takes I took from his session but I will leave those for him to share in his gallery! {Okay, I added one!}

Cory, I LOVED your session and I have enjoyed getting to know both you and Shelby! Have a great senior year and keep in touch!

I met Hailey this past weekend at The Manor House!  This is an incredibly beautiful venue for weddings, receptions and banquets.  I have seen this venue on other wedding photographer sites but I have never had the chance to explore the grounds myself.   Hailey works there on the weekends and received special permission to use the facility for her senior pictures.  The Manor is truly beautiful inside and out.  Her mom and I were noticing even the tiniest details were magnificent.  It gave us many different backgrounds to shoot in front of.

Hailey, I enjoyed meeting you and I hope you have an amazing senior year!

This is Christopher {or CJ}! He is a 2011 senior, graduating from Xenia High School.  Music is VERY important to him so we started with that.  We met and he sang and played beautifully for us while we captured him in his glory!  He was so much fun to work with and we got some great shots of him with the piano.  We then went on to do some outdoor shots in a few different locations.  I love working with guys and girls who are so passionate about something and helping them preserve that part of them in their senior pictures is just priceless to me.

Christopher, I know you are anxious for these and I hope you like them.  There are many more to come!  You did AWESOME!

Normally, I do not give a sneak peek of all vintage and black & white processed images but this shoot just called for it.  {Don’t worry mom, I have them in color too!} Lindsay has such a beauty about her and some of the images just took my breath away.  I don’t even know if she realizes she has this quality about her and that makes her even more beautiful.  When she smiles she can light up a room but when she would give me the “no smile” look, she simply glowed.  My daughter would say it is because she is smiling with her eyes and I have to agree.  I got plenty of her smiling but these “no smile” ones make me think I just stumbled upon America’s  Next Top Model!  The best part about Lindsay is that she is just as beautiful on the inside!
