I was asked to do a photo shoot for a friend and her beloved dog Broady in June. He was a big friendly dog and they had a great relationship. I just found out that Broady died this last weekend. I am so glad I was able to get them photographed before he left her.

I loved doing this photo shoot. Lauren has never done this before and did such a great job. Marvella as always looks great. Let me know what you think. And as always Brian C Hawkins did an awesome job on the hair and make-up.

My partner, who is adopted, has recently found his biological sister. They have chatted on the phone and Facebook but have never met. For his 40th birthday I decided to bring her to his party as a surprise so they cold actually meet. He was totally shocked to see her sitting in his salon. It was a great reunion and they were the hit of the party, everyone wanting to meet his sister. These are just two pictures I took to commemorate the meeting. They both look very happy. I love you both and I am so glad you found each other.

I was asked to take photos after Brian C Hawkins did a makeover for a young woman. The photo shoot was a surprise for her, so after the hair and make up was finished I got to photograph her. She was very nice and easy to work with. I loved doing this. It seemed to make her day which is what Dad had in mind all along. Thank you Wolf for letting me do this for her. She is a beautiful energetic young woman.

A friend of mine (Shelby Holden) is an actress and is looking to make it big. She asked me to take photos of her. We had planned on doing it all in a studio but we ran out of time so we set out in Columbus to find some good places to shoot. Which is your favorite? We had a great time. Hair and Make Up by Brian C Hawkins. Good luck Shelby, not that you need it though. You will be a huge success and thank you for letting me photograph you.

Photo Shoot and Jewelry

I did a shoot for portfolio building for Brian C Hawkins using a line of Jewelry from Dirty Pretty Things. Clothing was from TORSO a Unisex Boutique, shot at Camelot Cellars and The Local Bar Short North in Columbus, Ohio. Models are Ludie Senatus and Sam Cat. Assistants were Tim Greeley and Derek Anthony. I wanted to make sure I gave credit to everyone that helped out. It was a great time and got some awesome shots. I also did a couple of shots of just the jewelry which I thought were cool.

Baby Bump Shoot

I had the chance to do a photo shoot for a friend that is due in 3 weeks. We went to a park and had some fun. She actually ended up falling softly on her rear in the water after we were done taking pictures by a waterfall. She was laughing the whole time. Although I have a picture of this I am not going to post it, only she can do that. Notice the hot red pumps she is wearing. I love that she wanted to wear these since that is what she is used to wearing when not this pregnant.
