There is no better feeling than waiting to spend time with family over the holidays…the very little time that goes by {and Christmas does fly by} I still am so excited to see the family I don’t get to see as often as we can. My brother and his wife along with my nephew came […]
Yearly Archives: 2013
Meet Wyatt…he’s handsome, talented {wish you can see his imagination come to life on paper} and has one awesome name! He will graduate from Theodore Roosevelt High School next summer…I wish him all the best in his adventures. Wyatt’s mom came along…we bummed around Kent area and had a blast…so happy mom was there…she got Wyatt […]
I had so much with Randy and Sarah’s engagement session…and their new pup was also so fun and energetic {makes me miss a puppy…I may get that itch…nah} I love photographing unique wedding themes… there wedding theme is “beach/ocean” ~ Can’t wait to share those as well. We went around Medina area for their session […]
A girl’s sixteenth birthday means so much…maturing…DRIVING…the first milestone we truly cared about {and probably wish we can re-do}. I had the pleasure to do a photo shoot for Amber for her 16th birthday. Her parents are throwing her a big birthday party…she had a choice to make…a special trip or a party…her response I […]
…there is nothing better than doing your job and then doing your job for family! I had the opportunity several times to photograph my niece Sydney…she was also the original face for Victoria Campbell Photography years ago and I just love having the privilege of capturing her every year and watch her grown into such […]
My youngest daughter has known Gillian as young as preschool and they have been friends ever since…and through the years us parents have become friends…it was so nice to get the call when Shelley wanted pictures of the kids…now getting all three together was another story…with sports and other after school activities it just seemed […]
This blogging habit of mine sure needs to change ~ jeez! I did this newborn photo shoot back in February of this year and am just now getting to it…WOW…but nothing like the present! I love newborns…everything about them…and just love seeing how older siblings take to their new baby sister or baby brother…the pride […]
I had the pleasure to photograph Kerry and Iain’s family photo session as their “engagement” session in October of last year…and was lucky enough to photograph their wedding! I immediately was hesitant with the “bar” atmosphere as the “main” venue backdrop but then once I took some pictures…I fell in love with the place! […]
I feel photography is art…and love having almost every single photograph “off-entered”. But I also love changing my perspective. Photographing kids can be a difficult task to begin with but just changing one’s perspective can help give the emotion in the image…I love every form of photography…and almost every form of art, but when it […]
Awesome contest over at Rock the Shot www.rocktheshotforum.com all in honor of Summer Fun! What do you think of when you think of summer? As an adult I just crave warm sunny days and my kids home with me all day long…longer days…cookouts…pool parties…bonfires…camping…and just plain ole being carefree…if I could live my life like […]
I cannot say it enough of how much I love my job…to be blessed with a profession I absolutely love…and the best part of it is to meet all these wonderful people and have the privilege to photograph them and show off their natural beauty. Meet Kenzie..a 2013 Normandy High School Senior…her mom came on our […]
You would think I would be all caught up with my blog but not quite yet…which is actually a good thing…that means I am busy capturing moments…and neglected my blog at the same time but my Facebook Page is update almost every day…check out my fan page Victoria Campbell Photography. The best part of my […]
Ahhhh! I swear I have to be THE luckiest photographer ever! All of the familes and children that I get to photograph are so fun, outgoing and GORGEOUS…and this family is no exception! Meet the Rusinko family. The kids were so fun, energetic and truly a joy to photograph and I think their personalities really […]
♥ I LOVE meeting couples ♥ And I love everything about couples…even those couples that have been around each other for decades *sigh* It’s amazing the glow that they have when they are together…and I am the lucky one to capture it for their keepsake… …meet Ashley and Kyle…so young and so in love…I had so […]
I have known the Mercuri family for a while now and what can I say…a warm and inviting family…and such love they have 🙂 And those boys…years from now look out young ladies…I can picture them now…very very handsome young men…lol…but let’s not get ahead of ourselves {sigh}…the last time I saw Jackson and Carter […]
I always see posts on Facebook and twitter about warm weather vacation trips with the family…I have never personally taken the family during spring break…I am a HOT weather lover and feel any where down south would not be warm yet…let alone the ocean…am I crazy for thinking this? Although we stay home I do […]
I may say this all too often but I believe I get all the gorgeous clients! I am a true believer that beauty is within…but oh my…there must be something in the water here in Medina, Ohio. As an artist I know how to bring out someone’s best features, but when your naturally beautiful…well…every feature […]
Inside my world I get asked what equipment I use and what my work space looks like…by clients but mostly fellow photographers…I never really shared office photos because…well…it was a disaster area…a catch all ~ so to speak…but now I have claimed it my own and am loving every minute of it…and for once I […]
I talk to clients all the time about how newborns truly “run” the show during the photo session. Some sleep the entire time…some cry the majority of the time…some and “wide” awake during their session…some are even hungry while others…well…pee and poop during the session (this is the most common of course ~ LOL) but […]
One part of my job that I absolutely love is capturing moments to treasure forever…especially moments I personally can connect with. When I have family ask for a photo session I get all giddy inside and look forward to it like it was my own. There is no better person to describe “family” as there […]
One thing I don’t think I even thought about with my new task was how would I find the light in this unpredictable Ohio weather…light is all around me…I just have to find the source…I think my next light source will be by candle light or a low interior light and push my creativity even farther…but since […]
As a photographer the first thing we think about when taking pictures is the light…before anything else…and being a natural light photographer its always simple as the sky when I am outdoors, but indoors is another story. I’m sitting here editing with sunshine shining through my office windows and just cannot wait for spring…the smell […]
You know its bittersweet to see your children grow up…this is the last year my youngest daughter is in elementary school…this seems so unreal to me…my baby is going into middle school…where has the time gone? Every year she loved participating in the Garfield Talent show both performing and behind the scenes…as she got older […]
I got so excited when I received the call from Nikki and said she wanted a mini session for her family…and that she had 3 boys!!! YAY for boys…I have had so many girls compared to boys…I was just a little thrilled to say the least…LOL And talk about well mannered children…oh my goodness…were they so well […]
Many children have a favorite stuffed bunny, bear, monkey, or puppy or even a blanket they adore, and bring almost everywhere. God forbid this object gets lost or left at home. I have personally run out to pick up “Bunny” late at night because somehow it was “forgotten”…can’t even imagine how when these little “Friends […]
…I cannot say it enough how blessed I have been to capture such beautifully spiritual high seniors {and GORGEOUS} as I have this past year! WOW…is there something in the water…I had the honor to photograph Taylor’s mom’s wedding a few months back and immediately fell in love with Taylor’s infectious smile and laugh…if you could […]
Coming from experience with blended families on both sides ~ my mom’s and my dad’s…and in the past 6 years my very own…it can be a rough road ahead when blending two families together. I have been blessed with a stress-free transition and also love witnessing it through others. I had the pleasure to photograph […]
I have to say my favorite part of photography are the children…ALL ages…and the most enjoyment is high school seniors. I don’t say this because the younger kids are cuter and gigglier, I say this because I enjoy seeing them in who they’ve become and talk about their hopes and dreams. I get to witness […]
Thank you all who have emailed me these amazing stories…its going to hard to make a decision…so therefore I had help…four additional people read these amazing stories but one nominee stood out from the rest…her heart was so generous beyond words…she is an angel…here is her story…I cannot wait to share the Dean’s family pictures…so excited and […]
I cannot stop grieving over the recent tragedy in Connecticut. I can’t do much, but I’d like to do what I can…. The Olivia Act, named after one of the children killed in Newtown, was started by a photographer who wishes to be anonymous. Olivia’s family had family pictures taken a short time before she […]
Here I am with the boredom of January. Not because of nothing to do or no places to go, but because this is the month that greets us photographers with fear…those photographers who have just recuperated from a busy season are hoping that 2013 will be good to us and they will persist to flourish […]
Once in awhile I get a phone call from someone who just wants updated pictures ~ love this!!!! ~ After the recent passing of my father I was amazed that I (a photographer) didn’t have tons of pictures of my dad..especially knowing how ill he was…mostly on my iphone…so when I get phone calls from […]
Can you believe a year is already over…goodbye 2012 and hello 2013! 2012 was truly an amazing year and it wouldn’t have been without all my awesome clients…and what is so wonderful is the amount of returning clients are increasing as the years go by…LOVE IT… and to see how fast the kids are growing. Here […]
It is officially the first day of 2013 and I’m sitting on my chair listening to “The Hangover” in the background listening to Greg and Tyler chuckle wishing all the kids were home with us. I’m not the type of person to make New Year’s resolutions…since it’s typically the “kiss of death” for any success. […]
