Mother's Day / Central Ohio Fine Art Photographer

Friday, April 23, 2010









Mother's Day is just around the corner - where has the year gone? Moms always deserve to know they are appreciated. Are you doing something special for your Mom? Have your told her, or written her a note about just how much she means to you, about what a wonderful person/mom she is, about what a difference she makes? This day is also to make sure all the important women who have been like a mom know how much they are appreciated. Most people know that my Mom passed 15 years ago... what I wouldn't give to be able to give her a hug & tell her I love her. My Aunt Bernie stepped into the surrogate mom shoes & I try to tell her everytime I talk with her that I love her & she means the world to me!

If your are looking for a one of kind gift of art for your mom or someone special, stop by my shop for my Mother's Day sale! Until Mother's Day I will be having a Buy One/Get One sale... so treat yourself, too!

Often, I am asked about the difference between baby photographs taken at big box chains and those taken by myself (Oh Joy! Photography) or other Fine Art/Boutique Portrait Photographers. This wonderful article is sure to answer questions!

Tutus!! / Joy St.Claire, Central Ohio Childrens Photographer

Friday, April 16, 2010


This past Sunday was the most beautiful Spring day! The sun was shining & the spring trees were in all their glory. I met a friend at my favorite park - Inniswood Metropark - to do some shooting on my day off. In addition to getting some beautiful shots for my Etsy shop, I met a wonderfully talented mom who started her own business making boutique tutus. Let me tell you - they are just gorgeous! Her attention to detail and workmanship make these little tutus stand out! I'm looking forward to adding some of these gorgeous tutus to my collection and using them in upcoming portrait sessions! Find Janie Girl tutus on Facebook or inquire at janiegirltutus@yahoo.com

Birthday Girl - [Columbus Ohio Pet Photographer]

Monday, February 15, 2010

Maggie May had her 9th birthday yesterday! She's a little Valentine! I got her 8 years ago at CAHS, & can't believe how quickly it has gone. She is just so tolerant & loving! Of course it helps that there is always cheese or a hotdog involved behind the scenes! Trust has a lot to do with the great shots I get of her. Well, and of course the food thing again! But the trust is so important. A large part of the trust building came from the Obedience Classes we took together. The classes helped build trust, rapport and relationship. So many grown dogs need good homes. It might be a good time to stop by your local shelter and find your Maggie!
