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 have a fun day at the playground over the weekend and meet some new friends! These two are spirited little girls! They love running, swinging, and skipping stones. We had some great sun and an actually hot day in July! These two are so cute with their big eyes and their ginchy hair cuts…ps I love a girl who likes playing in the dirt…which they both are!

Aiden and Alli {Toledo Children Photography}

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

It has been a year already! I can't believe how much Alli and Aiden have grown! Now Alli is talking up a storm too! They both kept giving me hugs and telling me all kinds of stories. It was such a warm sunny day and I got to spend it with two cuties at Fleitz Pumpkin Patch and at Maumee Bay State Park!

Gabe and Family {Toledo Family Photography}

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Ok so I'm sure you all remember the Rufus art contest! Our little winner Gabe made the best drawing! Seriously had me laughing out loud! I had such a blast (not surprised) with these guys! They kept me laughing all day and just so sweet, the whole lot! Jenni mentioned she thinks that I am cool….I was really flattered but it made me chuckle inside….she obviously has never seen my performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. I have a feeling Jenni and I might become friends! We just got a long so well! Alright, on to some photos!

I was so excited when Kim gave me a call and wanted to do family photos. She and her fam were coming in from Columbus for the weekend and she wanted to use me for photos! I felt so honored that she was taking time out of her weekend home to have me take photos! Her family is super nice and her kids are freakin adorable…needless to say it was such a fun afternoon! Here are my faves:

Elijah {Dayton Newborn Photography}

Monday, September 5th, 2011

I was asked by my good friend Echo to do her little guy's newborn photos (of course at the time she didn't know he was a little guy~they were surprised!) I was excited, honored and above all nervous. I would have to say this is the hardest blog post I've ever written. When I am photographing for a regular client I know they booked me because they like my work. With Echo, she is a photographer as well and has her own unique style and way of shooting. The whole night before I hardly slept and my nerves were just coming in bunches and waves on the drive down to Dayton. Echo, I hope I captured what you wanted for Elijah's newborn session. I was thankful Brad could come home from work for a few family shots as well! You two are already such great parents! I can just see how much you love Eli (every time they look at him this humongous grins stretch across their faces! ::sigh:: I LOVE seeing that new parent joy!) Elijah is so awesome…I have several favorite Eli features so let's get to it!

I really thought Bean was still small until I held this guy…wasn't even sure he was in my arms he was so weightless! You guys enjoy every minute (even the crying ones) before you know it he will be 7months old, crawling and walking around and shouting MAMA!! Where does the time go?

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I love how strong Brad looks in these photos, it's such a sweet contrast to his sweet little one.

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Ok first Elijah favorite feature of mine….his blonde hair!! It's sooo white! Plus there's tons!! ::Swoon::

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

She looks like a pro doesn't she?

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

My next favorite Eli feature….his arm bracelets!! He is working hard on those bracelets and I have a feeling he will get more!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

He's so tiny!!!!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Another Elijah feature…his giant hands! They might be the biggest mitts I've ever seen on a newborn, and boy does he have a grip!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Told you it is white!!!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Another favorite Eli feature…his wispy eye lashes. They are so blonde!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

My most favorite Eli feature is his hair swoop! He has this cowlick in the front and it. is. AWESOME!

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

So…I think I have decided that Eli is Brad's duplicate…I mean look!! If nothing else this is a Brad expression.

dayton newborn family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

That sweet angel face!

Brad and Echo, congrats on your new little guy. He is so sweet!! (and gorgeous of course). I can't wait to show you the rest!  I have more blog posts coming up everyone (it's been super super busy around here!) Hope you all enjoy labor day! We are having a bbq for dinner! Yum!

Five Blondies! {Toledo Children Photography}

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

I'm sure you remember this group of kiddos from last fall! They have grown soo much since then!! I can't believe it! They moved to a beautiful new house that has this awesome park nearby. So we went to the park and the kids were so excited and wanted to show my everything! They really are sweet kids, kept holding my hand and hugs all around!

I gotta say, I LOVE all that blonde hair! It's so cute seeing them pile out of the car and just a sea of white hair and tan skin! That's how you know they had a good summer! I have another blog post coming tomorrow with my few available fall dates left! I'll take a look and let you all know! I have no weekend sessions available until November and weekdays in September and October are nearly gone so I'll keep you all posted!

Sisters! {Toledo Children Photography}

Monday, August 15th, 2011

So I LOVE when I get a call for a session 'just because'. Basically this Momma just wanted photos of her two girls in some frills! I was so happy to oblige! These two also have birthdays this time of year so we kinda doubled the purpose of the session! I really don't even need to say a lot about this session…it rocked and the girls are gorgeous. Check it out:

A Cute Family {Toledo Family Photography}

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Jessica is the sister of my sister's boyfriend (I know…can you even follow that logic?). I was so excited she contacted me for photos. I had heard sooo much about how her kids rocked and were just soooo stinkin cute. All the rumors were true! She and Cory have a 6 year old, Braden, and twin 1 year olds, Payton and Ashton. Talk about busy! Braden loves the camera so we had a fantastic time. (He had tons of ideas and he is just so cute!) Plus the twins are on the move and have their own ideas about where they'd like to go! As with most movers and shakers I had to grab the smiles when they happened….and when they did oh my! They have this big toothy grins! Anyway, here are my favorites…they are such a good looking family!

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Ashton and Payton…Payton was born first and you can totally tell. She is the outgoing one! I have a feeling when they are older she might be the boss of this relationship :)

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Big brother Braden! :)

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I thought Jessica picked out some great outfits for these three…so stinkin cute!

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I see some tiny teeth in there!

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

You can tell these two are meant for each other. They speak so kindly to each other and to the kiddos…it's great seeing a love like that!

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I think Payton has one more tooth than Ashton!! I love that even though they are twins they have so many differences. Even down to that one tiny tooth!

toledo family kidchil children baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Cory and Jessica, thank you so much for having me out to do your family's photos! I had a great time watching the kids run around and have fun and it was awesome to finally meet you guys! The rest of your photos will be available tomorrow! Can't wait to show you:)

Southern Cuties {Charlotte Children Photographer}

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

I got the chance to work down in Charlotte, NC this week! Yowza has it been hot (although I hear it's scorching at home so….yeh nobody wins!) I was really excited to work in a new area of the country and get a new location to work at! Jen came to me for some photos of her seriously beautiful kids and mentioned the Peninsula Yacht Club! La-ti-da! It was beautiful and lots of wonderful reflective light and like I said, great subjects! Here are my favorites, I hope you enjoy!:

Another Big Family! {Lakeside Family Photography}

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

Ok, if I were to describe this family in one word, it would be snuggly! They are all hugging and laughing all the time. It's such a great time to just be around them and soak it in. Tabitha and I have photographed this fam before and this year we were even more excited to go back to Lakeside! I decided to post all candids this year, we have the posed ones but…let's face it..candids rock:) I am also posting T's pics because I hijacked her memory card so she doesn't have the pics!
