Hustle and Bustle

It has been entirely too long since I have posted a blog post. I LOVE blogging, but I have been shooting and editing and spending Christmastime with my family. I did Christmas mini sessions a bit different this year; instead of one or two days with a set up and appointments every half hour, I decided to do by appointment to make it easier to work  with clients' schedules. They jury is still out if that was easier or not. I also shot lifestyle sessions in clients' homes this year which was super special with such an intimate location. One of my favorite spots to shoot Christmas 2016 photos was Oglebay Park. Generally, it's my style to avoid the actual Oglebay Mansion in photo sessions, but there was something about the real pine garland, trees, and lighting this year that made me fall in love with this location for minis. It also gave me versatlity to shoot photos during the session that can be hung all year round, not just Christmas specific. I found myself shooting at a few new Christmas locations as well: a Grand Vue Park set-up, the Christmas Tree Gala in Moundsville and a beautiful bed and breakfast in Glen Dale. I have added in a few shots from some Christmas Lifestyle sessions in this post, but I hope to write a Christmas Lifestyle session blog soon. Here are a few of my favorites...

Merry Christmas! 

Lots of Love,
