May Photo Challenge – Ellyn

Spring is a wonderful time of year to have senior portraits taken!  The days are getting longer, the temps are getting warmer, and the flowers are blooming everywhere.   Ellyn is my first Class of 2013 senior this season, and we had a truly beautiful evening for her portrait session.  She and her mom did a fantastic job scouting out potential locations and we moved seamlessly from one spot to the next.  High school juniors:  It’s not too early to begin thinking about your senior photos.  Space is limited, so call today or click on the Contact tab above to book your session.

Meet Teala – Springfield Class of 2012

{Akron, OH Senior Portrait Photographer}

This is Teala and what a fantastic smile this girl has!  Teala and her mom opted to split her senior session into two dates and we had great time at both sessions.   And though you can’t tell from her outside shots, it was really cold because of the wind off of Wingfoot Lake.  Honestly, I think she just smiles all of the time–made my job a breeze.

Teala  As it turns out, all we needed to do to elicit a serious face was mention going back to school the next day.  Spring fever is definitely in the air around here.  And seniors are eagerly awaiting all the activities that lead up to one of the best ever days of high school–graduation.

Of course, she couldn’t hold that face for very long.:)

Can you tell Teala is all about the details?  Accessorized down to the last bangle–she was just so cute.

Congratulations, Teala!  I wish you all the best as you finish out your senior year.

Sweet & Silly {I Heart Faces Challenge}

Sweet and Silly Photo Challenge

This morning, the school nurse called to tell me Ethan was in the clinic with a headache.  I wasn’t really surprised because he woke up with one.  (He has had a cold for several days, but no fever, so I gave him some ibuprofen and sent him to school.)  When I got the call, he had pretty much just arrived.  So the nurse and I agreed that he should rest awhile in the clinic and see if the ibuprofen kicked in.

Whether it did or didn’t is really hard to say.  A headache complaint is a very difficult thing to disagree with.  Especially when my other two kids are prone to them, too.  But when I called back he said it was still hurting, so I picked him up and brought him home.

He was sounding pretty chipper, and I figured maybe he just need a Mommy day.  We stopped at his favorite place for lunch and brought it home.  He “rested” on the couch and watched Tom and Jerry.

And since he was home, and not feeling so badly after all, I told him we should work on the picture for his Valentine cards.  Ethan wasn’t exactly thrilled, but when I asked him to make a silly face, he started to enjoy himself.  And even when he is being silly, his sweet personality still shines through.

I am entering this photo into the Oh, So Silly! photo challenge at I Heart Faces.  If you click on the button below, be prepared to smile, maybe even giggle a little.
