Sweet Lauren ~ Senior Session

I loved this colorful fall session with the sweet Lauren! The location was Wildwood Metropark, nestled right in the heart of Toledo. It has a lot of great features packed into one place- a gorgeous white textured stable house, forest trails, sunny meadows, a cultivated garden, and a mansion. Enjoy! I know that I did :)

Scarves are really the best.

Lauren's lovely blue eyes were vibrant in all these pictures. I love it.

I was delighted with the light creating shadows and a bit of lens flair below...

Lauren had the idea to throw leaves up into the air - so we did it! It took a few tries, a lot of pictures, and plenty of laughs, but we finally got it! It ended up looking like weather...on the left is a cloud, on on the right is a rainbow. See it? I love those two pictures.

I had a lovely time laughing with you, Lauren - can't wait to continue for Round Two at the art museum!

Adventure with Mercy ~ Senior Session

I had so much fun with Mercy on this cold yet vibrant fall day. Mercy isn't a stranger to being the subject of my photography...if you follow The Visualization Project, you might recognize her from my take on Mary Poppins. Mercy's a great friend of mine, and I was thrilled to do her senior pictures! The location was Sidecut Metropark in Maumee, OH- absolutely gorgeous. I'd been there a couple times before, but this was my first time exploring all the different areas of the park. Mercy and I were awed by its savage beauty, for Sidecut definitely has a wild tone to it. It was perfect for Mercy, because she, like me, is the sort that loves exploring the woods and having adventures. Climbing on top of rocks, standing in the middle of a river, and walking through the forest created a session that reminded me of Lord of the Rings in many ways, which is also perfect for Mercy, and it made me listen to The Song of the Lonely Mountain by Neil Finn from the first Hobbit movie over and over as I edited. 

 I hope you enjoy this session as much as I did!

Thanks for an amazing session, Mercy!
