Alysa Skates {Toledo Event Photography}

Hey all, remember this girl? Yeh, I hardly recognized her either! She has grown a TON since I have seen her! I was so excited when Melissa called to see if I was available to document Alysa's skating recital. (I have no idea if that is what it's called but let's just go with it). I was so impressed with Alysa (and the other skaters of course!) She did those twirly things and jumps and even ice skated backwards! I think many people are aware of how clumsy I am so needless to say just me trying to ice skate forwards is a big deal and here is Alysa just blowing me away! Not only was it fun to watch all the talent on the ice it was fun to photograph this too. I always like documentary style photography…being the observer from the outside. I kind of felt a bit like a reporter! Anyway, here are my favorite shots….it was 50's themed. I really think I would've been great at growing up in the fifties. Just love the clothes

Lacing up and getting ready to go! I hadn't been to the Bowling Green ice arena in some time and it brought back some great childhood memories.

One of my favorite things about the photos is her poodle skirt twirling everywhere!

I also love the lines Alysa creates with her arms. She is such a pretty ice skater to watch!

All the girls watching the grown ups skating around.

The star of the show!

Melissa, I really adore your family and I'm so glad I keep meeting more of them! I'm excited to see how much all the cousins have grown at our session in July!

Just a note, my weekdays are beginning to book up as well now so if you would like photos this spring or early summer be sure to shoot me an email

Alex has some awesome girl attitude! Anyone who reads my posts knows how much I LOVE girl attitude! She brought the sass and her session turned out amazing! She has such a cute outfit and the colors we found for background only made it better! Here are some of my faves:

Look at those blue eyes! Lucky girl!

Gotta love the pink house:)

My favorite of Alex! Showing off that girl attitude!

Alex I loved working with you! We got some great shots! I am still working on getting the rest of yesterday’s sessions blog posts up! Keep reading! I also have a double session later on today! Lots of new work coming up!

Theresa & James

Back in May Bethany and I did a session of all the men in this family and we had a blast!

Well, I went back over the weekend to get shots of James and Theresa in their sports uniforms, she plays softball and he plays football. Again I had tons of fun-and I swear it looks like they each grew 5 inches since May! They are both so photogenic and fun to be around- what a great session:) Check it out…

James had the best football poses- wish I could show you all of them- but this post is already extra large:)

I couldn’t believe how grown up Theresa looked when I got to their place- isn’t she beautiful??

I had them change into regular clothes to grab a few more shots of them since I got so many good pics of them in their uniforms-here are some of those…

And one last photo just for Mom-

I heard it’s a special day today…

Thanks guys for having me back out for more photos! Bob and Angie- you two have really wonderful kids, good job-and can’t wait for you to see the rest of the pics-it was SO hard to narrow it down for the post!

J & T-thanks for being such great models- hope you both have really super seasons with your sports:)

Keep your eyes on the blog-we’ve got lots more great stuff coming up. And as always we love to read your comments!
