Miss E ~ Sneak Peek! / Columbus Ohio Family Photographer / Columbus Ohio Childrens Photographer

One day a week ago, I had a wonderful drive out into the country to do a portrait session for the Littlest Heroes Project. What a delightful surprise to see we had a vintage carriage to work with! It's so fun to incorporate these fabulous type of props into sessions! And we had a beautiful grassy field to work within! All in all, a beautiful day and a fun session!

Preview 2~ / Columbus Ohio Childrens Photographer

A couple more sweet shots of this sweet little guy! I've applied some textures to these to give a soft vintagey feel. The daisies in these shots remind me of images I saw as a child from my grandparents era - I tried to use the textures to give some of that same mood and feel here.

I Love Vintage!

I LOVE vintage things! I LOVE photography! And I LOVE blending these two passions into a trip to thrift stores and flea markets to see what kind of fun things, and props I can find to use in my portrait sessions!! Some favorite recent finds are shown here... these wonderful vintage trucks and the fabulous vintage camera! These trucks have such wonderful substance to them, and I find myself wondering about what kind of life they've had... what children played with them. What was life like when they were made.. when they found their way into their little owner's hands...

These are the biggest hits for my sessions! Little boys just love them (and their dads do, too!)! They invite play and imagination... and make for some great shots!! And of course, what photographer and thrift store junkie could walk away from this great vintage camera?! I've heard they take some incredible black and white images. Now just to get it open and find the right film... and then maybe explore my little corner of the world with this baby in my hand! But always my eternal problem........... NOT ENOUGH TIME! I've decided I need about 5 more lifetimes to do all and be all that I want to do and be! So much to do, so much to learn, so much to explore, so much to be!

Oh... Where did I get these little vintage delights?? My little secret!! There is this really great place that I found here in Columbus, Ohio. They get these fantastic trucks in from time to time... & at a killer price!!! Ssshh! Can't tell!

.Fair

When I'm not busy with my fine art child & family photography (those rare moments!), I enjoy wandering through life snapping images that will become part of my fine art photography line. Here are a couple of those images. Today is such a glorious day, that I think I may play hooky from my processing & paperwork...... & run off to join the fair for the day!! I'd love to get some more fun fair shots!!
