Composing the Vision

The weather was a bit chilly in Sandusky Ohio but Kalahari Resort was anything but! This was our second year shooting at the God Girls in Motion Christian Women Conference. There was an amazing lineup of speakers and bands, including Cheryl McGuinness (wife of one of the 9/11 pilots), Nancy Stafford (Hollywood actress), David Dean (Christian comedian), Betsy Kniffin (speaker and musician), and Praise-apella. I was most impressed with praise-appella - they are an acapella group that sounded like a full band (drums and all). In fact, they sounded better than most bands! I was also humbled by many of the stories and testimonies given by the speakers. We often have hard times in this life but these speakers showed how they found hope, forgiveness, and beauty through Jesus Christ. An incredible time!

We were on the road again to small town Ohio to do the engagement shoot of Craig and Sallyann! Fun couple and just really seemed to enjoy each other and just being goofy together. We even got to bring their super happy dog, Annabelle, to get a couple of shots with her. It was such a fun day in sunny northern Ohio, we hope the pictures reflect it! Their wedding is coming up very quickly in June. All the best with the wedding! We will see you very soon!

With the winter season officially gone and the business side of the business all set, we finally get to get out the camera and dust it off a bit to prepare for the season ahead! We have many weddings that we are so excited for this year and we have a lot to look forward to. So to get the shutter going again we coaxed one of our good friends, Kim, to allow us to shoot some portrait shots of her around the 'nati. Kim is a ministry leader at a college campus and needed some pictures for some of the stuff ministry leaders do. I suppose a simple "yearbook" shot would have been sufficient, but we wanted to add a little fun and excitement into the mix. I'm sure she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

On Friday, March 26th at 7:00pm, we will have the wonderful opportunity to partner with 25th Hour Associates to present to you a photography event called Simplicity. This is our second major artshow and we couldn't be happier than to share it with our friends at 25th Hour. 25th Hour Associates officially launched in the beginning of 2009, with a vision to simplify the lives of our clients by freeing up time for them to do what matters most (a handyman service). They wanted to take the opportunity to open up their office to their partners, friends, clients, and random passerby's to support a local artist, and have interactions that typically don't happen during the 9-5 workday. Being that their goal is to simply lives we wanted to springboard off of this idea and present a show that we thought portrayed simplicity. We hope you will join us at 4314 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45212 this Friday!

I am proud to announce that we have officially updated the website!! (insert a chorus of hallelujah!) The old website was very sad and I do not think was true to the quality of the pictures and it was extremely hard to navigate. If you remember it I apologize. But we are very excited to bring this new one to you. Thank you all who were apart of our lives and a part of this vision in 2009. Thank you to all the beautiful couples we had the opportunity to shoot for. I give you The Artistic Vision 2010:

Thank you Chad and Angela for such a fun engagement photoshoot! I can't wait until August! Blessings!

A long since needed wedding website has been made! It is separate from the main site and has its own navigation bar. This way it's easier to view the wedding portion of the Artistic Vision and you can see the packages and prices available for weddings. Check out the new wedding site !
