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.

I got to photograph this beautiful girl this morning and it was so much fun! She has grown so much in a year and to be honest I did not recognize her at all! You can check her out from last year’s family shoot here. She has a great sense of style and about the cutest smile! She was a trooper too, any crazy idea I had she was willing to try it and treck all over the park for it! Here are my favorites of Claire:

I got to photograph a two year old sweetie last night! Everyone who knows me knows how sweet I think red hair is and so needless to say I was excited to hang out with this guy!!! He is a mover (as all two year olds are) but I still got some great shots, for the few seconds he was still :) PS we became friends, he was holding my hand and showing me things by the end of the session! GAH I had so much fun!

Brian and Cassie~Engaged!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

 

These two had a special request of me! They really wanted a lighthouse in their photographs and asked if I would be willing to go up to Marblehead for their engagement shoot! Of course I wanted to do that! I love new locations and not mention even cooler photos!!! Needless to say I really really overshot this one! Hopefully these two enjoy the massive amount of photos coming their way :)

Haha, I love how nosy he is….wanted to see everything!

Can’t say that boy is starved for affection that is for sure! Seriously, no one can resist him!

Here we are at the top of the lighthouse! For those of who you know me know how I am usually paralyzed by fear of heights. If this was just me wandering around you would not have caught me dead up here but when I am working getting the shot somehow always comes first and is far more important. Yes I was still afraid but the fact that I got up here says a lot! My brain really was more dominated by thinking about posing! So glad too, I really love this shot!

toledo marblehead oh engagement couple photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I think my favorite shot of the entire day!

Brian and Cassie, thank you so much for choosing us to capture your big day and I hope you guys had as much fun as I did at Marblehead! The drive was totally worth it!!! Can’t wait to show you the rest (they will be ready tomorrow)!

Jude Turned 1!!!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I can hardly believe Jude is a year old already! Seems like I just met him yesterday. He is quite mobile these days and VERY busy. I caught up with him to get his 12 month photos. 

He is one adorable cutie:)

 

Played a little peek-a-boo to get this smile:)

 

Such a handsome little guy…

Thanks Thad and Katie for having me back for more pics, I just love your little Bear! Your photos will be ready for you soon :)

We headed out to Sidecut Metropark and were very thankful that the rain waited until we were done with our session to come down:) These guys were so easy to work with; what a nice family! They brought along super cute Charlie, their Golden Retriever too (love that name:) So…here they are!

Here’s Collin-so sweet and I just LOVE his smile:)
