About Bethany & Wellspring Photography

I’m excited about how Wellspring Photography is growing and through that I am able to learn more as well as venture into new areas of photography. We now offer packages for any events in life, from as big as weddings and births to as small as your child’s first time making chocolate chip cookies. We are now even doing school photographs from preschool through high school, as well as family, pregnancy, and baby sessions. Any photography need you have, we would be honored and excited to fulfill it.

Here at Wellspring Photography we love photography and love capturing the important moments in life. Any moment worth remembering is worth photographing.

One Big Happy Family

Monday, May 31st, 2010

The Entire "A" family met me at UT yesterday morning for a family photo session, they said it had been years since they had one taken, and since then there have been many wonderful additions!

This is the original 7, and the very last photo is of the whole fam- what a great bunch:) Smart, funny, nice AND good looking- Mom and Dad did a great job:)

 

Here’s the oldest Grandchild holding the youngest…

E found some bugs

She found some roly poly bugs to play with:) Such a cutie!

 

I had to work for this next pic- he didn’t want much to do with the photo session, but this is definitely one of my faves of the day…

 

And his beautiful sister…

Chris and Kristin~Engaged

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

 

These two met at the zoo long ago so they thought it was perfect to get their engagement session done there and I agree. I had soo much fun with these two, they are relaxed, happy to be together and I think we are going to be friends! Not to mention I love being outside and I love the zoo. We got to see the baby giraffe, enough said.

Josh and Lisa~Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding!

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

 

I really love these two and their families. I had so much fun at their rehearsal dinner and could not wait for the next day! Josh’s mom decorated the Toledo Country Club for their rehearsal dinner and she did a fantastic job! Josh and Lisa are on their honeymoon in Paris right now and she designed the dining room with a Paris theme. I took tons and tons of photos but I can’t post them all! I did my best narrowing them down! Here are my faves from the night:

Each seat had a place card and the boys had eiffel towers to hold theirs up and the girls had glass blown ornaments. I grabbed her engagement ring and got one last shot of it by itself :)

 

Now on to the wedding day! Again all the details were phenomenal and we got to spend the day with some awesome people!

He really loves his little girl. They way he talks about her and smooches all over her…..brought me and Tabitha to tears at least three times if not more. Like I said there is a ton of love in these families. Can’t help but get caught up in it.

Joe in a Jeep

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

 

Our amazing graphic designer (those of you who have story albums know what I mean) Andrea, stopped by tonight and she brought her pup to play with my pup! Here at WP we love dogs! Anyway, there he was hanging out in her Jeep when she was leaving and I thought he was just too cute. It was nine pm so I know the photos are a bit grainy from a high ISO but I still thought they were worth sharing.

Meet Joe. He is a yellow lab pup…but I think he looks like a baby polar bear.

Joe likes his human’s Jeep.

Sometimes Joe thinks about jumping out of his Jeep.

Then Joe remembered he loves his Jeep…….

Nighty night Joe. Thanks for coming to play. I know Rufus had fun and she zonked out right when you left!

Email wellspringphoto@gmail.com if you’d like to schedule a pet session! They are so fun and make great memories of your furry, quirky friend!

Dirty Photog

Monday, May 24th, 2010

 

It’s true, at any given session or event at one point or another you can catch me or Tabitha in the dirt. We really don’t care how ridiculous we look as long as we get the shot. Thought I’d share one I grabbed of Tab at our wedding last Saturday. She was grabbing some ring shots and she was tummy down in the wet muddy grass!

toledo photographers http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Needless to say we both walked into the reception picking grass off ourselves and trying to clean a little of the mud off!!!

The images from this wedding will be posted in a couple days! Check back

Bethany & Ryan

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

 

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve put up any personal photos so I thought I’d share with you some pics I did of  Bethany with her wonderful husband Ryan (and of course their newest addition Rufus the Pug:) We caught one of those gorgeous days in early April when we had a bunch of warm weather- it is pouring down rain as I write this so I am wishing for one of those days now!

Hope you enjoy the photos…

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I LOVE them all, but this has to be my favorite…

Hope you all are enjoying your Springtime so far! Contact me if you want pics done of you and your honey:)
