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.

Jonathan is 9 month old! {Toledo Baby Photography}

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

 

I photographed this little guy 3 months ago already when he was just 6 months old! When I saw him today I couldn’t believe how much he’d grown! He looks so big and he remembered me so he was all smiles! We got some great shots with all the pumpkins and of course in his Halloween costume!

Little Luke {Toledo Newborn Photography}

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

 

This tiny guy is 3 1/2 weeks old and still so little! He is also quite nosy, he was awake most of the session staring at me most of the session. Pretty sure he was thinking "lady, what IS that thing?" He’s awfully cute and I got some great stuff today! See for yourself:

I can hardly believe that this cutie is a year old. It seems like just yesterday I met her, and to date she is my tiniest newborn I have ever photographed! She is such a happy smiley girl and I needless to say it was a good time! Here is she is only a year ago:

Babymoon {Toledo Destination Photography}

Monday, September 20th, 2010

 

For those of you who haven’t heard my hubby-do and I are expecting our first kiddo in 4 months! We booked a vacation two days before we found out and so our vacation then became our babymoon! We took an Alaskan cruise and then spent that following weekend in Seattle. It was such a blast and it was great to have that time alone with him, no puppy, and more importantly no computers! We both work from home and have slight cases of workaholicism (I know it’s not a word but work with me). I thought I’d share a few photos from our adventure!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

The hubinator looking for bald eagles!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Obviously not the best composed photos I’ve ever taken but I was so surprised! I’m just glad I nabbed the shot!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

LOVE this, 65 is warm but tank tops and flip flops warm? At the bottom of Mendenhall Glacier? Gotta love Alaskans! They said it was a heat wave and that means family picnic!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Every day was like this for us! Clear blue skies and sunny!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

John Hopkins glacier….it was awesome to hear it cracking and then see ice fall!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I just liked this plant, and that’s our cruise ship in the background.

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Fall is well underway in Alaska but I did find one lingering flower :)

Back in Seattle!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Many of my favorite photographers reside in Seattle and I have seen this wall on many of their blogs! I was a little star struck ( even though I didn’t meet any of them, it was just cool standing where they work!) I kept hoping to get a glimpse of one of them somewhere and my poor hub had to listen to me babble on about people he didn’t know for the entire weekend! :)

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

We also stopped off at the aquarium….they have some amazing displays there!

http://www.wellsprinpgphoto.com

Pike’s Place…another spot that graces many photographer’s blogs! PS I could spend a week in there it’s awesome!

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

:)

http://www.wellspringphoto.com

So even after all the amazing four course (and even six course) meals on the cruise ship….this is still the best tasting thing to ever grace my lips! It’s called European sipping chocolate and you can only get it at a place called the Chocolate Box. After one sip I about moved into the store!

So glad we took our babymoon and took time off from our jobs to reconnect and I definitely feel more ready for the baby to come! Also really glad to be back, I honestly love my job and have been looking forward to this week and the tons of work ahead of me!

September is nearly fully booked so if you want a spot get going and email me! October is getting there as well so be sure to get in what you need before winter hits!

P.S. I might start the nursery this week…?

 

Fulton Fair Family Fotos {Toledo Family Photography}

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

 

Yes, I know it’s not spelled fotos….but the alliteration is so cool! I love when clients choose creative locations for their photos, and challenge me as a photographer! These guys chose the Fulton County Fair at night time!!! Needless to say I was excited (those of you who I have already photographed…there was singing lol) I’ve photographed this family before, you can see their other posts here and here. They said it was time for family photos again but they wanted something really different this time, and they got it!  Anyway, might as well get right to it!

September and October are really booking fast. If you want photos done before it snows (although I love photographing in snow too!) be sure to shoot me an email so we can book it!
