Sophia & Jack

A few years ago, we shot the wedding of Sara and Mike. Now they have two adorable kids that we have had to privilege to shoot too. Baby Sophia Jane is four weeks old and Jack is 2 years old. We went over to their house to shoot some pix of the kids together. Not only were the kids super cute but Sara has great decorating tastes. Her kids rooms are awesome! Thanks for letting us be a part of your family!

Bling, Bling!

Last weekend we got to shoot the wedding of Courtney and Zach. Courtney happens to be the daughter of our amazing assistant Tina. We were looking forward to shooting this wedding for a long time. Before the wedding, Tina told us about the jewelry that Courtney would be wearing for the wedding. Although it sounded great in the description, it was way better in person. One might think that it was costume jewelry but this time it was the real deal! Bling, Bling! 25 kt diamond necklace and 6 kt diamond earrings. What more could a girl want???? Check it out! More to come on the wedding.

Here is Courtney's expression when she put on the necklace!

Katie & Conor

On Friday I was off to Worthington to shoot Katie and Conor's engagement pictures. What a fun couple! They are getting married this coming January here in Columbus. To make a long story short about how they met, Katie is marrying her brother's roommate, Conor. She wasn't allowed to date him at first and it took a lot to convince her brother that it was a good idea. Enjoy this sneak peak of their images! Too cute!

Look who got hitched!

On Friday, June 6th, Dave's brother Steve's finally got married to Nina! The wedding was held at the Worthington Inn. Attended only by the family, the event was very sweet and intimate. Here are some pictures from the wedding. Welcome to the family Nina!

The News is out!

And Livia is jumping for joy!

We have been debating for a long time on whether or not we should shoot senior pictures. After much thought and Lots of inquiries we are finally taking the step! Yes that's right, we are now shooting senior pictures. I originally started my career in photography with Harrington Photography who specializes in senior pix. Nothing new to me just new to Banks Photography. And the great thing is, all of our sessions are shot on location!

This morning we started a string of senior sessions for the summer. Livia kicked things off. She was so super sweet. Here is a sneak peak of a few shots. More to come Livia!

Happy Happy Birthday

Can you believe it? In this past month or so, Isaac turned two and Brooklyn turned 4! To celebrate we had a combination "Under the Sea" birthday bash for both of them. Lots of Dave's family was in town for his brother, Steve's wedding (more to come on that), which was the next day. So it was birthday party one day, Steve's wedding the next, Jill and Adam's wedding Saturday, and finally we flew out to Fairfield Bay, AR on vacation! Whew! Makes me tired.

So back to the party. The theme was Under the Sea. We had two games for the kids, a fishing game and a huge treasure chest with all sorts of sea prizes. As The Little Mermaid played in the background, we ate great food, played games and opened presents (Way too many!). The kids loved it.

Here is the cutting of the cake.

Check out the progression of Isaac. Blow out candles, eat cake and smash it on the face!

Look at that face! So excited!

Happy Birthday to Miss Brooklyn and Mr. Isaac Thomas!

It's Camp Time!

No this is not your ordinary camp. There aren't any tents, campfires, or swimming holes. IT'S BOOTCAMP BABY! That's right. I am back in bootcamp. I figured after about 5 months off, it was time to hit it again. I have been working out since then but I wanted something to kick start me again. So here I am back again for more punishment! It was so much fun. Anyone want to join me? 6am MWF, Lifetime Fitness.

Too cute

This morning I went out to shoot former client and now friend Anne and her kids, Alli and Will. I just love shooting these guys. They always look super cute. Anne's house has the perfect setting for great pictures. These pictures are a suprise for her husband for Father's Day. Great idea!

Tis the season

Tis the season for engagement pictures. We are shooting one right after the other these next couple of weeks. The weather is getting nice, couples love great colors, and we can now shoot later in the evenings. This past week we got to shoot Megan & Nathan and Kasey & Matt. Both couples are getting married this summer.

Megan is part of our Dublin girls! There is a huge group of girls that we have had the opportunity to shoot. We started off with Jorie's wedding, then Halle's, coming up is Jill's and finally Megan's. What a fun crowd! Thanks for including us.

Here are a couple of Megan and Nathan's images!

Kasey and Matt are tying the knot in June. Coming up quick! Check out her eyes. Very beautiful!

Melanie & Kirk

Ahhhh . . . . Melanie and Kirk. What a fun wedding! The weather was beautiful, Swasey chapel was super cute, and how could you live without the New Albany Country Club for a great party. Everything was perfect, thanks to Jamie from Devoted to Details. I just love her! Melanie and Kirk had been planning the wedding from out of town but pulled it off flawlessly. We had such a fun time with them and their families. Can't wait to get all the pictures edited! Check out some of these images and their slide show.

Thanks also to Mr. and Mrs. DJ for entertaining us!

Aden and company

What a great idea? Aden called me about couple of month ago to schedule a photoshoot for herself and a group of friends. They have all spent time together while in residency and school. They are all getting ready to relocate and decided to remember some of the memories with a photo shoot together. They spend a lot of time down in Granville so we decided to do the shoot at Jenny's Ice Cream (one of my favorite places!), Stauf's Coffee, and Spagio's wine bar. The shoot was super fun and entertaining. Thanks for a great time!
