Photos of my mom Shelley

Awhile back I took some photos of my mom for WhatAVisit.com.  My mom is a writer and has 4 published books.  Here are a few of the photos from the shoot.

I took these on the front porch of my parents house.

 This is one of my favorite pages from her book "You're Sweet"

My mom and our 7 month old puppy Frank.

 Frank is only 7 months old and is already way bigger than his mom Zooey!

This is Corbie.

She is a Zumba instructor and is a personal trainer. She started her own business and needed some photos for her site.

So here are some of the photos I took!

These photos were takin at Winter Garden Park in Bowling Green Ohio. It was 8am, foggy, and rainy which was perfect!

It was a lot of fun to shoot with Corbie and catch up on life, Corbie and I went to college together but now she lives in New York.

I also shoot her & Mike's wedding 2 years ago!

We went to the Bowling Green State University Stadium to do some workout photos.

I really like this photo below!

Stretching before her work out.

I wanted to do the workout shoot at BGSU because that's where she went college. She also played soccer all 4 years at BGSU!

I love the portrait below, they a complete contrast to the workout photos but I think the fit very well with them.

I haven't done to many photos shoots here at the BGSU stadium but I know I will in the future, there are so many great locations there.

Thanks for viewing and let me know what you think.

I'm a photographer but sometimes I wish I was a musician

Sometimes I really do wish I could be a musician but I have never been musically gifted. If I could learn to play any instrument it would be the piano. But any ways...

This is Zack Fletcher at a show in Toledo Ohio.

It was my 1st time ever hearing him play, he is very talented and if you want to hear some of his music click here!

This is My friend Marky! He also played that night in Toledo. Marky is extremely gifted and his music inspires me! If you want to hear his music click here!

Besides Jamie, Marky is the person I photograph the most!

This is Steve Rieski, I met Steve through church and a couple weeks ago we went out and took some photos with his sweet guitar! Steve is a BGSU Cru adviser and preaches and does worships at Brookside Church.

These photos were taken by some brick road behind the BG library.

It was a really fun shoot!

Thanks everyone for viewing and let me know what ya think.

Winter portraits

Here are some outdoor winter portraits I have taken over the past couple months!!

All of these photos were taken with a 50mm lens

(above) This is my fiance Jamie! I love this photo of Jamie, she loves coffee and spends a lot of time at Grounds for Thought in Bowling Green Ohio(her home town). So it was a perfect location to take her photo and this was my 1st photo of this project, this is the photo that inspired me to take more winter portraits.

(above) This is Marky on the porch of his house on main st in BG. He kinda reminds me of a lion in this photo, his beard and hood fur look like a mane of a lion!

(above)This is Brett, he is a BGSU student and I have known since we were young when we were students at Bowling Christian Academy. I took this photo while me, brett, and Marky went out to shoot around BG. I like how it turned out, I took my 50mm lens of the camera and tilted it to get a tilt-shift look!

(above) This is my Brother Mitch, he's a BGSU student majoring in business. I took this in a BGSU parking lot while it was snowing.

(above)This is Andrew. We have been talking about shooting for like 2 yrs and finally got too! Will have to go again soon! I love the lens flare in this photo!
