Holly Turns 30! Grown Up Cake Smash. Toledo Ohio Photography.

Holly contacted me to share her birthday plans and to see if I could help. She was turning thirty and said, “I wanted to treat myself to birthday photos just for a fun experience.” She arranged a personal sized cake from So Many Somethings Desserterie. It was pink and looked absolutely delicious. Holly said it was wonderful when she actually “smashed” into it. Holly had her makeup done by Leah Naveaux from Merle Norman of Toledo and Perrysburg. She picked out an adorable pink tule skirt and wore a “Hello Thirty” top. Holly brought balloons and topped it all off with a bottle of Veuve du Vernay.

Holly is a Nurse Practitioner. When I asked her how she felt about entering a new decade she said, “I’m excited about turning 30! It will be a new adventure”. What a fabulous outlook. Holly was so wonderful to work with. She was positive and completely laid back. We had the session in the studio space at the Big Fab Lab in Bowling Green. Holly decided not to risk the Ohio weather by shooting outdoors. It was the right call because all of those balloons would have been blown away.

I think it is really cool when people document the milestones in their lives. Every year is such a precious gift. Whether you are 5 or 95, be sure to celebrate your special day this year.

Echoes of Reality. Rescue dogs of Toledo, Ohio.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a strong individual, a good friend, a loving companion? Do you see the echo of the family that raised you? Do you see the person you could be if you were only given the chance? Just like people, dogs are shaped by their experiences and are a reflection of their environments.

Always Bring Your Dog. Toledo Ohio Family Photos. North West Ohio Pet and Family Portraits.

Pets are an integral part of many people’s lives and add deep meaning and value to their families. Pets can be our best friends; a member of the family and the annoying siblings or children we never knew we needed. We chose pet photography because we wanted to capture the unique personalities of pets, the cherished moments between them and their owner, and to draw attention to the bond that exists between them.

Homeless and feral cats are a truly colossale issue right now. To see a cat cafe open in the area, essentially a foster home for a number of adoptable cats, was so encouraging. I really enjoyed to meeting Tallie, the director, and all of the fluffs in their care.
