When the thermostat reaches the low temps its time to pull out all those adorable hats, gloves, and scarves. I love the way children look in any type of hat…and the way it frames the face…here are two girls who wear the hats well.

I’ve been going through my photos to decide which shoots need to go onto an external hard drive when I came across some photos I liked even though they weren’t really in focused or centered but still kept because there was something I liked about them. Here’s another one of my daughter…she’s gorgeous at any […]
About 5 years ago I was blessed with an unexpected extended family that I have grown to love and adore and their daughter is just as photogenic as anyone can be…when she came to me and asked if she and her girlfriend can have a mini photo session…who am I to say no to such […]
The McCampbell family has to say goodbye to Tinzel who visited us for the holidays – he will be missed…until next year Tinzel…it has been fun!
My honey said the sweetest things on Facebook today about his family and the people that matter the most. It doesn’t necessarily mean blood when it comes to family…although we do love our blood relatives through thick and thin {well we try to at least} you can find another form of family in the strangest […]
One thing I can do {or at least attempt to do} is cook…I absolutely love to cook and the art of cooking…but baking on the other hand is something I want to do on the spur of the moment…when I FEEL like it not when “it has to be done”. Five years ago I was […]
I had a family photo shoot a couple days back…worried about the weather…rained all day…but when it came down to the photo shoot the rain stopped…someone was on my side. The family’s middle daughter is a high school senior who does not want her senior pictures taken. To my surprise I thought this was a […]
We, the McCampbell family, were happy to be chosen to take part in the holiday fun with Elf on the Shelf. My daughter has come home from school countless of times mentioning her friends having elves in their homes and they get to name them. Tinsel was spotted at a local Barnes and Noble store […]
It’s amazing at an early age you tend to know what your true passions and desires are. When I was younger all I cared to do was draw or paint…basically anything to do with art. I loved photography the moment I understood a camera. Anything that goes along with using creativity I am there. I […]
In honor of getting ready for Christmas and before the REAL baking begins…we will start off with some yummy Holiday cupcakes :0)
Once you are a mom you have so much love for your child that it’s amazing you are capable of feeling such joy. Then your child becomes an adult and that feeling of joy is still there but HOPE is mixed in with the joy. You hope your child lives his or her life to […]
I love the connection sisters have! Love it when I have a family photo shoot and the siblings are close and really really want to have fun! But when you get older siblings and they go out of their way and want a “sister” photo shoot…you know its going to turn out great!
I love getting a photo session where you can see all the sides there is to an individual…especially in a high school senior. Emily loves the outdoors, anything animal print, and of course soccer! I have personally seen her play soccer for several years now and hope she sticks with it throughout college – Good […]
As a mother I am amazed on how quickly time goes by when raising my children. Our house was the house that all the children played at. I couldn’t ask for better neighbors let alone a better best friend. When we moved into the neighborhood we were all the same age and had our children […]
As the high school senior photo sessions are winding down (no thanks to Ohio weather – ugh!) I have to make sure I stick to a New Year’s Resolution…keep my Blog up to date!! Amanda was back in October…this only proves how far backed up I am with my blog {sorry 🙁 } and I […]
Once in awhile I will enter a photo in iHeartfaces weekly photo challenge http://www.iheartfaces.com/2011/12/photo-challenge-pets-2/#more-7031. This weeks theme is “Furry Faces”. I have cats and dogs and tons of photos of our little furry guys but for some reason the first image that came to mind is that of “Lucy” my daughter’s pet hamster. One day […]
Well this will be the family’s 3rd High School graduate…our own Heather Campbell is a senior! Her future waits ahead leaving the nest while Dad has to adjust to the fact that his only two children are college bound!
This weeks photo challenge over at iheartfaces http://www.iheartfaces.com/2011/12/photo-challenge-feet/#more-6921 is feet…now my first reaction was barefeet…but I suddenly remembered a picture my daughter (she is finally growing a passion for photography….YEAH!) took while on vacation and I remember the feeling I got when looking at the picture… the feeling I wanted to be there in the picture lost […]
I had the pleasure to photograph this little cutie a year ago when he was only one years old…now a year later I had the pleasure again. This little stinker is so adorable you just want to squeeze him…at first he wouldn’t look at the camera or smile but once I showed him the photos […]
I do have to say I love taking high school senior photographs…especially if the camera loves them :0) Rachel is a good friend of my step-daughter and I just loved how her pictures turned out.
This is the last of Shay’s family photo session…she kept a different day for her brothers and parents. Her parents were such a joy…Dad was a little hesitate {after just one click of the camera he moved out of his pose thinking they were done and ready for the next location!} but eventually got the […]
Shay included her little cousin in the photo shoot as a surprise for her aunt and her grandparents…an excellent idea for Christmas. But besides the “cousins” in pictures she wanted to surprise her little cousin with a mini photo shoot of just her…and may I tell you she was camera friendly! The perfect model 🙂 […]
I was excited to do a photo shoot just for siblings! There is nothing like the interactions of brothers and sisters and to witness such bond! I makes me miss my childhood and the never ending feeling of “family”. I know that family is a term in many different ways and I too have all […]
I had the pleasure to photo shoot Jordyn for her high school senior pictures. I have to say this beautiful girl was extremely camera friendly! Her blue eyes are piercing!
In the midst of getting behind on my blog I was looking through my photo shoots I have not been keeping everyone updated with….then I came across my younger sister and her family…I absolutely love these shots…the more candid the moment the more I feel you can feel the “family”. But I do have to […]
I have to admit I have to absolutely terrible keeping up with my blog lately…they holidays are rolling around the corner much faster than I really want them here. But to keep in the spirit and hopefully lifting mine I am here to wish everyone and safe and yummy Thanksgiving! My hubby and I will […]
I have not been very good at keeping up with my blog. With my surgeries and recovery time and the sudden change in my Dad’s health I’ve noticed my priorities have altered a bit. My father passed away Saturday morning with his family at his side 🙁 What seems strange to me with all this […]
Several months back I received news that my father wasn’t doing well. They found a mass on his lung. Now being a smoker for as long as I have known him I immediately think the worse…and yep…the “c” word…stage 4…doctors put him on chemo and even double up on some of his chemo and radiation… […]
I have been falling so far behind with an unexpected surgery gone wrong and just quite haven’t had the chance to update my blog! Besides being behind in editing photos along with everyday mundane things like household chores and such its extremely difficult to play the catch up game when you still on medication and […]
I had the privilege to photograph Sarah and I absolutely love it when someone so young has so much compassion and love for life. She brought everything that was near and dear to her to incorporate her personality in every photo. My favorite photos were taken at the airport in Medina with her family’s plane!
This little guy was so much fun! His dad had to bribe him once in awhile for him to finish the photo shoot which wasn’t much! This little guy had spunk and just enjoyed being with his dad…his face lights up any room when he smiles…he is going to be a lady killer lol.
in a couple of weeks my youngest daughter’s best friends will be moving out of state…she tries to hang out with them every single day until they move…it just breaks my heart when they start talking about how much time they will get to talk on the phone and come back and visit…they truly shared […]
I find it hard to believe my daughter will no longer be in the single digits and her childhood is getting closer and closer to the teen years – ugh! But she will forever be my “baby”.
I don’t religiously participate in photo contest but the one over at iheartfaces http://www.iheartfaces.com/2011/09/photo-challenge-school/ seemed fun and as soon as I read what the theme was I instantly had a photo in mind. My youngest daughter is the biggest fan of school. The first day she got off the bus after school she was lost […]
I have been so busy and school has started like what 3 weeks ago and here I am just posting some pics of my daughter’s first day of 4th grade…I do have to say she is a trooper for letting me set up my little props so I can have my fun 🙂
Took the kids for a picnic for one more time before the chilly weather is to arrive…which I am sure we still have in store more warmer weather but you never know with Ohio. I noticed the blooms are starting to change…no summer blooms in the wild. Mother nature is amazing and beautiful…the colors of […]
A true friend shares the good times and help you out by listening during the bad times and is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
I absolutely love when I get a high school senior and they know exactly what they are looking for and love who they are! Shelby seemed to have fun during her photo shoot, she brought her mom and her girlfriend with her and despite the heat, she was a joy to photograph!
I’ve had this vision of a couples shoot like could come out of a Ralph Lauren advertisement…lol…this couple turned that vision into reality…they had this “look”….a very sexy couple that was an absolute delight to photograph! There names even sounded good…they were just “that” couple!
This little guy was introduced to our world two weeks ago…I instantly fell in love with him! Just look at that hair!
Benjamin is so cute and so accepting of anything asked for the first 3 minutes…ha ha …he had spunk! At the end of the photo shoot we took him to a play ground where he got to watch another little boy play with a remote control car…this finally got rid of the tears and brought […]
Sweet Haley looks so adorable in this field of grass and wild flowers! We drove around to find some shade after doing some errands and decided to have a picnic…me with ALWAYS having my camera took a few snap shots and she looks like SUMMER.
Talk about the girl next door look! She is a high school senior with natural beauty and spunk! I truly had fun with Jessie…right in the beginning of August so the humidity was at its highest and you wouldn’t never even no it was 96 degrees outside…I absolutely love how her hair turned out in […]
I don’t always enter contests but this picture was perfect for the “beautiful eye’s” over at iheartfaces http://www.iheartfaces.com/2011/08/photo-challenge-beautiful-eyes/ This is my niece who looks absolutely adorable with her big eyes in this simple photo…my niece Ally has the biggest eyes and they can just melt your heart when you look into them.
Here is a couple that was a breeze to do…you would have never known it was a gazillion degrees outside!
There will be one day my daughter will have a social world and I will be extremely happy for her but I do love the fact that she loves coming with me to some photo shoots and still loves her own photo taken after all these years.
Sweet sweet Madison, this girl is 100% wholesome and 100% adorable…the camera loved her and she loved the camera lol.
Another couple’s session in Medina Ohio…second time around for these two…a cute couple they do make!
I’ve been absolutely terrible in keeping up with my blog – ugh…I guess I can say I’ve been enjoying my children home from school.
Did a fun photo session on the beach and then at Squire’s Castle in Willoughby Hills. This picture below defines me as an artist.
I love couple sessions…even when there family…here are my favorites from this session.
Here is a Brunswick high school senior…I have to say it was a very hot day and I am sure he felt pretty miserable but the day ended up working out just fine!
I have been stocking up on a few props for portraits and my kids and their friends love getting their pictures taken so we had a photo session with only one prop – a hat :0)
My daughter literally begs me to go on photo shoots and especially loves it when it’s high school seniors….so I decided to take a few pictures of her and treated her like a high school senior….she was in heaven lol…
I have so much fun with Stan…loved the fact he let me use any creativity I wanted to use in each photo! Here are a few of my favorites.
Louige had to of been the quietest photo shoot I have ever had… I felt like I did all the talking (I know sometimes I can go on and on..but really…he was sooo quiet, but fun! He brought his girlfriend which seemed to ease him a bit! The day was so windy I was a […]
My step-sister called me up and wanted a session with my nephew and of course it was going to happen! The poor little guy had a stuffed little nose and mom was a little worried he’d not be himself…here’s to hoping I captured the true Will. I honestly do think he had fun (lol) […]
This weeks challenge is “Red”…Cardiovascular disease claims as many as 500,000 women in the United States alone each year. To raise awareness of heart disease (the #1 killer in women), the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – so here’s to go with the theme but anything that comes to your mind when […]
This picture just reminds me of how innocent our children are when they enter this world…I just adore how Baby Jade is studying her mommy’s face.
Couldn’t tell you how much fun it was to do KD’s photo shoot….she absolutely loves to get her picture taken and she was a complete NATURAL!!! I bundled up so tightly because I was worried the camera would shake while I was taking the pictures forgetting she was jacketless and shivering the entire time!!!
Okay this is for all those adorable couples out there…even brothers and sisters who want to make parents gush with joy!! We are offering mini sessions for the month of January for Valentine’s Day! 30 minute session, unlimited amount of people….any location of your wish for $50.00
This is the first time I am entering a contest, but I am willing to give it a try. I absolutely love love love this photo because I had to do absolute no editing to this photo with the one exception of cropping. We can just call him “perfection” – lol.
