Victoria Campbell Photography would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I just love the magic of Christmas…almost wish I can see Christmas through the eyes of a child again, but as I am older I really do love the ability to see what the day is truly about! Christmas begins with CHRIST […]
It’s time to say our goodbyes to Tinzel and wait until next holiday season for him to reappear…oh what will he be up to next year? We enjoyed seeking for him every morning…sometimes he was a good little elf and others he was up to his normal mischievous self. Either way we will miss him…however I don’t […]
It never amazes me the world my daughter sees through her eyes….to be 10 years old again. Every morning she is so excited to get up and scour the house to look for Tinzel…I can post a picture of him everyday of what he is up to…but that of course requires me to blog every […]
As I am always promising myself to keep my blog updated its so extremely hard to do this this time of year, let alone during my busy seasons….so what’s my excuse that the busy season is winding down…EEK…and I still haven’t blogged in days….orders…clients are placing their orders….well YAY for orders for boo for my […]
Tinzel has been entertaining us…mainly my daughter and her friends…every morning before school her friends come over to get on the bus and before breakfast they are on the manhunt to find Tinzel. Sometimes he is extremely easy to find but others you can just pass him up like he belongs in the background. I […]
I have had a few mini session this fall and I have to say I totally fell in love with these two sisters. You couldn’t pick more complete oppositie girls if you tried while having the same empathy and compassion. The older sister more wise, reserved, and quiet…more alert of the unknown while displaying a […]
Every year we have the pleasure to visit with our own Santa’s little helper Tinzel… comes and goes everyday and honestly helps keep my little one in line (LOL) But as an entire family we love to see where he is going to pop up next! Last year he was naughty a few times but […]
Here is a sneak peek at another mini session…this time it is of two adorable sisters!…Had so much fun with these girls…and what can top that is when they told me they were excited about the photo shoot. I just love when kids love getting their pictures taken…of course I love candid shots but when […]
Parents couldn’t be more proud when your oldest daughter graduates from college and begins a new path in life as an adult while their baby girl graduates high school.
I had so much fun with Nicole on her session. I went to school with her mom…and I knew our kids went to the same school because we kept running into her. I almost went to a time warp when I look at Nicole because this is how I remember her mom {take away the […]
There is nothing as so wonderful as the glow of a pregnant “mommy-to-be”. When I was pregnant with my own children I would hear people say “look how wonderful you look” or “look your glowing”. In the back of my mind I was thinking do you not see how big I am getting…look at my […]
Here are a few sneak peeks of the wedding party pictures…let me tell you it can be difficult to photography a HUGE wedding party but I was amazed how well they did…still have the ability to have fun but get down to business and get those pictures taken…ha ha! But I honestly couldn’t ask for […]
This is the second post for Meghan and Ray Ciacchi…their wedding. I was amazed on how beautiful the church was inside…gorgeous and the presence it had…absolutely stunning. Another memory I will always have is how WARM it was inside the church…an exceptionally warm day for September…I felt bad for all those beautiful bridal party gals […]
I can’t say enough of this bride and groom I will sharing with everyone in three parts. I fell in love with them a year back and couldn’t help myself in photographing the details because every single one was thought out! The first picture is the “finished” bride, and she would look beautiful regardless what […]
Hurricane Sandy is showing her madness in Ohio…mind you I’m sure it’s no where near what the east coast is experiencing but I am about done with these gray rainy cold and windy days. The kids are going stir crazy! I don’t mind hopping in the car and going somewhere for them to have some […]
It’s hard to believe that summer came and went, but that the leaves are almost done falling and the moment Halloween is over with…CHRISTMAS decorations will be EVERYWHERE! This is my favorite holiday but I have mixed emotions on how early the “pump” for Christmas starts in the retail world. I personally like to get […]
I am sure you’ve heard me boost how much I love my job…the passion I have for photography and the satisfaction I get when I capture that “perfect” moment…but there’s something more when I capture a mom with her first newborn baby! My friend Kristi and her daughter Ashleigh has such a wonderful mother/daughter bond, […]
My mom’s side of the family is teeny-tiny compared to my dad’s side…I feel such a special bond with my cousin and my aunt its hard to explain. I miss them, but when we do get together its nothing but laughs! I still see my little cousin as well, my little cousin, but she is all […]
This photo shoot was originally for the youngest daughter…possibly with a few of their son…it ended up with all three and I couldn’t be happier…Bella, the oldest, came with the attitude her picture WAS NOT going to be taken…but of course she changed her mind…and Mia the youngest…OH MY GOODNESS such a joy! And then […]
It started years ago….high school sweat hearts…but things weren’t on their side, but years later they were reunited and it was fate…they were meant to be together…a true love story.
I feel lucky or privileged when a family asks me to capture them! And its especially FUN when the kids are young and DO their OWN thing 🙂 This family is was so much fun I have to say for the kids ages they were even more fun! The Root family will be expecting a new […]
I just get so happy when I do newborn photo shoots! LOVE LOVE LOVE them….This moment doesn’t last very long and when parents want to capture this moment I get super excited…and then I see the little tiny darlings..and OH MY GOODNESS…how I miss my kids this small…it goes by so fast…and its such a […]
This is my daughter’s best friend…she calls her her sister… Francesca has to write in her journal for school and one day she picked the topic of Haley to write about and I wish to share to you what she said…too cute: Haley and I are just like sisters. We’ve been through a lot together. […]
I like to reflect on all the changes that have happened over the years in my life and I basically wouldn’t be happier without them. I’ve traded high heels for flats, eyeliner for dark circles (I am sure age has a lot to do with this as well), salon hairstyles for ponytails, fine dining for […]
My daughter Frankie is so blessed to have such wonderful girlfriends…and I just love it when they ask to have their photos taken. OF COURSE! Who am I to say no. Of course her best friend Haley is here everyday…and I do take advantage of that…she has a GIANORMOUS (I think I just made up […]
Every year I am in need of a model in a several age brackets to inspire me with new locations which also gives me an opportunity to play with some new software. I couldn’t of asked for a better girl than Tess. When I approached her she was more than thrilled and can I say […]
Back at the first of the year I posted a promise to myself {{It is officially the first day of 2012 and I’m sitting on my chair listening to sci-fi in the background wishing my kids were home from their dads. I’m not the type of person to make New Year’s resolutions…since it’s typically the […]
…Check out this gorgeous family…pale skin…freckled face…blue eye kids…they can’t get any cuter than this! This photo session took place in the summer…I know I am a bit behind…UGH! But nonetheless I am catching up. These are my cousin’s kids!!! They are beautiful and was so up to the task when I asked their grandma […]
My sister and her family came in to visit us for 2 weeks this summer and I had the honor to photograph the family ( 🙂 ) I cannot express enough how happy I was to do this…one, I never see them that much (they live in Oregon; two, I was able to capture the […]
Watching a young couple in love is joy, but watching an aging couple in love is bliss. When a couple has cherished their marriage for 50 years, it certainly is a story that shines…I had the privilege to photograph my aunt and uncle and their entire lifetime of their love…it begins with them! These are […]
What can I say about this sweet adorable little girl name Jaden…she is such a princess and boy does she want to be just like Hannah Montana…I had so much fun photographing her…she survived the 90+ weather…such a trooper 🙂
Had such a wonderful extended family contact me for some family photos while some grandparents where in town from Germany…here are a few of my favorites: This is Jenn and her family:

I would like you to meet Jask…the young man with those eyes that can melt you 🙂 Yet another gorgeous high school senior and yet another beautiful day…he really made my job easy…here are a few of my favorites!
Thanks to Facebook I found a new inspirational blog to follow let alone letting my 10 year old daughter to read with me! If your are a parent with young daughters (any age daughter as that matter) I urge you to start reading this blog: http://www.reflectwhoiam.com. What made me connect to these women was after I […]
…I love picnics…even if its in my own backyard…nothing like grabbing a blanket and a few sandwiches and sodas and relaxing in the summer light (shade for me these days). Frankie had a friend over for this picnic so of course I could resist and brought my camera with me…the joy to be a 10 […]
School is already back in session and I am having withdrawals of not having my youngest daughter being with me during the day…of course I can get tons more done but nonetheless I miss her…and my other two…but the band aid isn’t ribbed off immediately with teenagers and college students…I had time to adjust with […]
I had the privilege of growing up with a twin…there is no comparison of the connection I have with my twin sister compared to my other siblings…don’t get me wrong I love them dearly and am very close to each and everyone of them but my twin sister I just don’t know what I would do without […]
Let me tell you what a joy it was to shoot this family! I have known the dad since high school (we won’t mention how long ago that was 🙂 ) and was able to reconnect via Facebook…his wife and son are such beautiful people. This little stinker didn’t even needed to be bribed to […]
…I have actually been extremely busy on photo sessions and editing photos that I have been neglecting my blog and even my Project 365…at the same time using my creativity to branch out my creative side to stretch my artistry…soon I will even be back in school and wonder if I will have the time…and […]
…this past year has been hard on my family with the passing of our dad and grandmother. My sister from Oregon was able to come with her husband for a visit. Along with my brother for a short few days with his family. With all of us spread around it’s quite difficult to get all […]
My step-sister married the man of her dreams May 24th this year and she couldn’t look any more beautiful…the location was stunning with the country charm…I’ve never been there before and just fell in love…I can see why they chose this location! It was very intimate and couldn’t be more perfect…here are some hightlights!
My favorite part of my job as a photography is taking photographs of high school seniors and young children. The younger children have such dreams and imagination and I just love capturing those moments with the camera…but when you take pictures of high school seniors you captures there dreams and imagination as they unfold. I […]
…I love the fresh look over everything new. New seasons, new clothes, new haircut, new seedlings, and new life! I have two styles when it comes to shooting newborns but honestly prefer one over the other. When I am shooting a newborn in a more photojournalistic way I feel I capture their memories…over the staging […]
…for the past 4 1/2 years I have been getting closer and closer to my dream…getting my PhD in Art Therapy. When I opened up my photography business I realized the therapy alone that was involved in photography…knowing what art has to offer as a way of healing and coping. Something inside of me has […]
Talk about natural beauty!!! Courtney came to her photo session with her mom and we had fun! My kind of gal! Courtney has naturally beautiful skin…naturally curly hair…gorgeous lips… the perfect face for the camera…and the camera did love her! I absolutely love when a client is up for anything! It makes my job easier […]
All I Need To Know About Life I Learned From My Dog Author: Unknown Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Run, romp, and play […]
…time is introduce summer and to honor and remember those who have died for our country and serviced in our military. I hope everyone enjoys their family get-togethers or merely enjoy an extra day off if ever so lucky 🙂 This is usually the weekend I have all my plants planted and my flowers picked out […]
Now here is Mikey…the other half of the twin session! Such a cutie…and just like Stephanie I was able to see how much he has grown from a little boy into a young handsome man! I wish both of them such luck and fun in what their life and future has to offer them.
Here is beautiful Stephanie Miller…she has so much energy and love for life. I had the pleasure to watch her grow from a cute adorable little girl into a beautiful young woman. She is one of the twins I posted a few days back…and what a joy was it to photograph her…and lucky me for […]
There is an awesome giveaway for anyone who’s ever had an interest in photography! A must see! Please visit http://cravemyphotography.com/blog/world-wide-giveaway-2012/#comment-51881 You will be happy you did!
Today I got to enjoy a photo shoot twice as much! I was able to capture 2 high school seniors from Nordonia…TWINS. And not just any twins…a pair of twins I knew since they were itty bitty…all grown up now but such a blast to photograph them. Being a twin myself I enjoy watching other […]
…I get so happy and excited when I have the chance to photograph children…the pure innocence and the “authentic” soul of an individual is when they are young and yet not truly seeing the world for what it is. And when I capture that one image from every sessions and I say “Now that’s a […]
…when you take an newborn and his or her first few years! The amount of growth and development is unbelievable but let alone a parent’s love and how much it grows along with their admiration and bond. Will just turned two years old and has endless energy…the little stinker was hard to sit still. I was […]
…I wished I had the opportunity to capture those “moments” with my older children the way I do with my youngest. When I am on a photo shoot with youngsters I get “lost” with them. Of course some children dislike getting there picture taken…so its my job to let them know I am not forcing […]
…when new life is stirring inside…when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.” ALL pregnant women look so beautiful to me…I have to admit as much weight as I’ve gained during my pregnancy..there was just something about how “content” I was […]
It’s not every day I am in a client’s home to photograph them but there are occasions I end up in the home instead of outside at locations. On a newborn photo shoot I did I have fallen in love with more than just the sweet sweet baby boy…it was a dog 🙂 Of course […]
Jacob’s parents are friends of mine and when they called up and asked if I’d take Jacob’s senior pictures I was more than thrilled. He is a wrestler for Buckeye High School and their team made their way to State Championship! They must be so proud. Here are a few photos from our session:
A while back we were introduced to another family of 7 that happens to be…well…family! It’s amazing how much both, well actually all of us have missed out of all these years…but what’s nice is its never too late to start! I know this may not make much sense to many but for the close […]
You cannot get any more adorable than this little Irish two year old. Her strawberry blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes are going to give her parents a run for their money when she is a teenager! I love photographing children and what is extra special is when they have this warm welcoming personality that […]
I just get so excited when my daughter comes to me at unexpected times to say “Hey let’s do a photo shoot”…I will jump at the chance to photography my daughter especially when she is in the mood for pictures. I do ask her or tag her along to locations and their is such a […]
Victoria Campbell Photography would like to wish you Happy Easter and hope you have a blessed day. I am officially ready for Easter…potato salad made, macaroni salad made, cupcakes made {not yet frosted 🙁 } and baskets are made! Even Papa Greg and Mama Gic’s grand babies…it will be so nice to spend quality time […]
Spring definitely came early this year…and here’s hoping it stays…but this is Ohio…you never know when it may snow! {{{sigh}}}. I have been catching up on yard work along with editing photos…which have become difficult to do when it is so nice outside. I am getting many more bookings now that the weather is nicer […]
I watched these three boys grow up and even though the oldest is the same age as my daughter it just seems like they are sprouting at a fast past. I guess I don’t see the change so much in my daughter seeing her everyday [although that doesn’t stop my depression on her birthdays LOL] […]
I watch this little girl named Lauren every so often and just love when I can capture her doing “her” thing…she loves playing with my kitchen set and dress up when playing with her baby doll. Usually when I grab my camera is stops doing “her thing” and focus on the camera but not this […]
There is nothing more precious that a new baby…and nothing more precious than a new baby within the family. My husband’s niece had her first baby and I had the privilege of taking her newborn pictures. She was so good through all the moves and slept through the entire shoot…and another awesome thing was she was diaper-less […]
It is not everyday that I get to capture adorable pictures of young love let alone my daughter’s love of her life. We went to the square to take a few snapshots for a “mini” photo session and I just love how they turned out!
I have entered a few weekly photo challenges with iHeartfaces which you can click on this link to check them out! http://www.iheartfaces.com/2012/03/photo-challenge-march/ They now have monthly contests and I chose this photo because it was unexpected and I was in the middle of switching lenses and the subject being cut off in the image meant more to […]
No matter where I go or what I am doing, I am constantly looking at the beauty in this world! Every time I’m driving down a country road and a busy city street I cannot help myself but to look at the environment around me. I don’t know if its the creative person inside of […]
There is nothing like a little child sleeping. I can stare at my own children for hours when they sleep. They look so sweet, innocent, and content…to be at the age again where there are no worries and everything is new and a mere wonder! I went downstairs to fold some laundry and to see […]
Living Ohio you just never know what type of weather it is going to be but in the winters here in Ohio we pretty much expect cold wind and flurries. But this year has been exceptionally nice with sunny warmer than expect days. I let Harmonie play in Frankie’s room and read a few books […]
It’s amazing how powerful someone can be on their own and feel the triumphs his or her life endeavored but when you have someone to share that with the feeling is just remarkable. I dedicate today’s post to the partnership everyone craves for through thick and thin, sickness and health, and death do us part!!
…I can honestly say this is the first Valentine’s Day that was truly enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of Valentine’s Day but the overall “feel” of the day and “surprises” of the day were life changing and well…unexpected but I could honestly say I am excited to see what the future […]
Here I go again entering in a photo contest. iHeartfaces http://www.iheartfaces.com/2012/02/heart-photo-challenge/ is having their weekly photo challenge in honor of Valentines Day. I have decide to show this one even though it does not show a human face. To me this clearly states “love” between two people 🙂
…it always amazes me how time flies! As days can drag on and you may wish one to be over with already your almost blindsided by the reality of it all. With a blink of an eye looking back time goes by ever too quickly. Take Emily for instant. I can remember her mom’s baby […]
The other day I posted pictures of what the weather was like here in Medina Ohio for a child photo shoot and it snowed and was quite chilly. But the next day it was 57 degrees and just a bit breezy and all the snow that fell yesterday was practically gone. It was nice to […]
Many people in Ohio believe that the weather is predicable…but I have to disagree…one thing you can count on living in Northern Ohio is the fact that the weather can be polar opposite one day to the next. We can have a snow storm one day and the next day all that snow can be […]
There is one thing I love living in Ohio and that is the change of seasons. We are so lucky to be able to witness of four seasons even though the “slushy” transitions can be annoying. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to witness this change during a photo shoot itself. Below are […]
Well still the beginning of the new year…the month is not even over with and my promise to myself to keep up with my blog is going downhill….at least I can say I am keeping up Project 365. I have been so busy with Fafsa and collecting tax information for our college kids [including myself] […]
I have to admit I am slacking on the job when it comes to my blog [sorry 🙁 ] but my free time I have been trying to spend it with family. I am pretty much caught up editing photos. I do have to say it is much easier to edit in the colder months […]
I can honestly say I have my “Lifetime” friends that have been there for me throughout my entire life. They have stayed constant more than the men in my life. Not to say I do not love my husband but there is nothing that compares to the bond between friends. I witness my daughter and […]
To start of the year this will be my first entry over at iHeartfaces.com. http://www.iheartfaces.com/2012/01/best-face-photo-challenge/ Every week they have a theme for photo submission and this week we get to pick OUR choice of the best face of 2011. Well this came easy for me…my niece Allison and I were outside horsing around when it started […]
There is nothing more classic than a black and white photo. You can take a photo that is colorful and tends to be more on the whimsical side but the moment you turn it into a black and white you see the depth of the photo and find the beauty within.
I do have to say Facebook is a wonderful social tool, both personally and socially. I have a business fan page I am able to show examples of my style of photography all at the same time of catching up with people I have gone to school with {won’t mention how long that’s been}. I […]

Yesterday’s post talked about how I live off-centered…I’d admit I’d like to live more organized and routinely but for me this is just impossible. I enjoy making my own hours and having “my” own routines…if I had a regular 9-5 job I truly would not know what to do anymore because I’ve been custom to […]
A few posts back I put up pictures that I normally ignore and don’t wish to edit only because I know my most of my clients are more traditional. My clients sometimes wonder why he/she/they were off-centered in a picture. I personally follow the “thirds” rule in composition but I know there any some clients […]
I love winter only when you don’t have to drive in it. I love the layers when it comes to clothes and how accessories can change the look and feel of an individual. Sitting all snug on a couch watching it snow outside with a warm blazing fire! The kids get off the school bus […]
It is officially the first day of 2012 and I’m sitting on my chair listening to sci-fi in the background wishing my kids were home from their dads. I’m not the type of person to make New Year’s resolutions…since it’s typically the “kiss of death” for any success. What I have discovered is that the […]
Time to ring in the new year and time to reflect back on the old. I am not famous for New Year’s Resolutions because I never really stick to them. One in which I have gives me faith and hope that I can again in the future. I have decided to take part in Project […]
