Tomorrow is the first official day of summer. Although looking at the weather, it sure seems like it is starting today! For me, summer is about family. Vacations, BBQ, Baseball...sunshine seems to bring us together.

My friends and family will tell you they are sick of hearing it from me, but I am always saying  "every year you get older, goes that much faster than the last". Time flies, and the memories we create today are priceless tomorrow. Which brings me to my point. Don't put off having a Family Portrait created. 

If that's not reason enough, here are five reasons to have your Family Portrait created this summer:

  1. Your family will never again be who they are TODAY.  Tomorrow will bring change.  New milestones, growing little bodies, changing faces, graying hair (it happens!), starting high school, leaving for college,  etc, etc.  We all know it happens, but it’s amazing how fast it does.
  2. You would love to send Grandma in Phoenix that family picture she’s been asking for, but it’s so expensive.  Professional photography can be expensive but it can also be very reasonable. 
  3. If you don’t make the time to have some portraits done, who will?  How many times have you put something off for whatever reason and then realize later that you should have done it long ago?  Make the time to do something for your family, and for YOU.
  4. It’s beautiful outside!  The colors of nature make a perfect background for a family or children’s portrait session. 
  5. You may be a little apprehensive or nervous about being in front of the camera.  Don’t be!  Having family portraits done should just be about spending time with your family doing what you love to do. Find a photographer that fits your “style” and  just go have fun with it!  See what happens, you just might be surprised (and I am betting you will)!

Here's to family,

PPS     One of my favorite parts of summer is watching baseball. My alma mater, Kent State, just beat the #1 seed in the College World Series.  Go Flashes!

 
 
Man, I am having so much fun with technology lately! Being an Akron Wedding Photographer in 2012 means being on top of trends and advances in the tools available. I have been learning about combining video together with photographs in a multi-media presentation called a "fusion video". It's so cool to have the emotion video and audio can add to the images.

 It's all coming together, and we are able to offer our wedding photography clients another great product.  If you are interested in learning more about fusion video, or just want to chat about your wedding ideas, shoot me an e-mail

I posted a video of our most recent Wedding Photography.  Check it out.  It's a really fun Cleveland Wedding, with photos at Playhouse Square and the rest of the wedding at Fahrenheit.  I hope you enjoy it!

PPS Summer is here, and we've been grilling out all the time. I've been into grilled hot dogs with stadium mustard and minced onion.  What do you like on your dog?  Share it on our Facebook page!
