Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant ...
I find it a little ironic that I'm quoting the Golden Girls theme song for a shoot with young friends but I find the words fitting. It's not often that you acquire folks in life, at any age, you genuinely feel connected to while feeling comfortable being exactly yourself and it was a pleasure seeing that kind of exchange with these three beauties.
Girls, I loved the time with you all and hope that you all continue to value your friendship. I pray that it is encased in love, grace and loads of laughter! Love you girls! :)
Julia ...
Shooting portraits with this stunning senior was a breeze and the Nature Center was the perfect backdrop for her as she readies herself to leave Cincinnati and head south in August! Julia, you are a beautiful person, inside and out, and I know that things will unfold brilliantly for you as you venture into life beyond the first 12! I look forward to seeing where it takes you. I wish you an abundance of great love, great memories and great peace in it all!
Joan and Jeremy thank you for allowing me the time with your amazing girl. Prayerful over you all this graduation season.
And Katie, keep your camera ready, you're gonna do great things with it! Love you guys! ~ B
Jayda
I met this lovely senior and her family downtown for a windy shoot! We weren't sure that the weather would cooperate but ended up with a fantastic evening. I love the textures that urban shoots provide and wind and skies full of enormous clouds only prove to add to them. Jayda, it was a pleasure wandering with you. Thank you for allowing me the time. I wish you the absolute best as you near the very end of senior year. Courtney and Ernie, thank you again for letting me photograph your beautiful girl, I'm so grateful. I look forward to seeing you again for her summer short. :) ~ B
Alexis ...
College graduations .... so profoundly worth celebrating. This beautiful senior is getting ready to do just that. Alexis, I'm so grateful you allowed me to shoot some photos for you and that you were willing to document your hardwork this way. I am looking forward to hearing where your career sends you and am certain that those you meet will be greatly impacted by your expertise. Congratulations! ~ B
SM, Fine Art Portrait
This handsome guy. He has the best smile and so much to say. I could've chatted with him the entire time. Heather, it was great seeing you all again. I hope you and Jeffrey love these photos of your sweet boy. He is genuinely amazing. Thank you so much! ~ B
The Morey Family ...
These three folks are special people. I was so thankful to have the time to spend with them and though the temperatures would have kept many away, they persevered. Sharon, Charles and sweet Pearl, I am so grateful to know you, thank you for allowing me the walk. Love to you all! ~ B
The Williams Family ...
I first met this family when their little guy hadn't even made his debut. Every single time I'm with them, it's a ton of fun. This little 18-month-old bundle of energy has the best little toddle in town and watching him run around with his wonderful parents is such a highlight. Tiffany, Shawn and Adyn, once again, thank you so much for letting me shoot you guys, it is always such a pleasure! ~ B
Among The Sculptures ....
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, what a great spot for a shoot. We arrived early enough to be the only people there. It was a brisk but beautiful day and it proved perfect for this gorgeous family, pups included.
Abdelnour family, It was such a pleasure getting to know you all. I once read that "The family is one of nature's great masterpieces", your family reflects this wonderfully. Thank you so much for allowing me the time with you all. ~ B
John, Class of 2019 ....
Sharon Woods has been such a beautiful place to shoot this year. The leaves seemed to change in just a matter of days and it was evident with the three shoots I had here in a very short time. This handsome senior and his wonderful parents wandered the park with me as we enjoyed the pleasant weather and the sun, for about 30 minutes before the wind and clouds blew in. Thompson family, thank you so much for inviting me into this season with you all. I am so thankful for the time. John, I look forward to hearing where you end up and am confident that you'll find great success in your endeavors. Wishing a great senior year! ~ B
