A New Family Part 2 {Toledo Family Photography}

Bethany Leisure — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:27:35 +0000

Here's the continued story of our family from yesterday! Their second location was the park and a change of clothes! They will have a great variety for their wall I of course think photos are the perfect way to celebrate a new addition to the family!

HAHA!! ::sigh:: Freeze frame anyone?

I think these two are my faves from the park!

So glad you guys called me. I really enjoyed spending time with you guys and learning the story of your family! Be sure to check your email for the password to your gallery!

A New Family {Toledo Family Photography}

Bethany Leisure — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:27:54 +0000

Stephanie and her family live in Cincinnatti, they drove up just for the weekend and wanted to use me for their family photos! I really felt honored that someone that far away even reads my little blog let alone wanted me to do their family photos! They had a new addition a few months ago, Isaac! They adopted Isaac from South Africa. He is six and is such a cuddly guy and so full of happy energy! I think he has turned their world upside down! Especially big brother, Drake. Stephanie added on a second location and a change of clothes to the Lilac package. I have too many favorites so I am going to split their session into two posts!

Here is Isaac. He has many many expressions, check it out:

I can't believe he is only 15….might be the snazziest dressed 15 year old I ever met.

Ok, so this photo on the right…I was taking some photos of the boys and I turned around and they were actually just doing this. After 17 years of marriage and they still snuggle so tight! How wonderful is that!

Isaac likes super hero poses! Couldn't say no to that face!

Ahh! Ok can't wait to show you the sneak peek part two! It will be up tomorrow!

Memory Lane {Toledo Photography}

Bethany Leisure — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 22:09:05 +0000

Sitting here feeling blessed cuddling my son and I began looking at his photos which spurred looking at sessions from this past year. I had quite a year with WP and I am loving looking at all these sessions at once so I thought I’d share my year in one blog post!

We had many many weddings:

PS Brides…never think a winter wedding means no outside photos….I LOVE being outside and weather does not bother me!

I got meet a lot of cool families:

Got to hang out with some crazy kids:

Lots of cute smoochie babies:

One last one of my super chubby cute puggy!

Thank you to all my amazing clients. I have loved capturing your memories and spending time with you and getting to know your families. I am so looking forward to 2011 and what it brings. We are going to be rocking it with weddings and can’t wait to see who I get to meet!

They just celebrated 16 years together!!! That’s so awesome!

Claire

Bethany Leisure — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:30:40 +0000

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:

Told you she is gorgeous!!!!

I really love polka dots and that makes me love this skirt even more!

I LOVE this fountain!! It’s so awesome!

This is my favorite of the day!

Claire I had a blast with you today! It was so great seeing you, I hope high school rocks! Can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos! I hope you love them!

To book a session with your teen be sure to email me! Summer will be over before we know it!

You’re My Best Friend

Bethany Leisure — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 05:19:55 +0000

Thursday I got to spend some time with my niece Em and her best friend M to do photos, which we’ve been trying to organize since last summer! Em & M are like 2 peas in a pod: always talking a mile a minute and giggling a lot because everything is funny with your BFF. These two are smart, talented, funny, very sweet and beautiful (and WAY less awkward than I was at 14!)

Here are some of my favorites from our session…

Thank you girls for being such great models. You two are always a delight to be around:) Hope the rest of the summer is super duper fun for you both!

Show me some love and leave me a comment:) Hope you are all having a great summer so far!

Today I got to photograph a super cutie in the snow!!! I love snow and winter and so it was great to get out today and put this snowy storm to good use! Taylor was a natural in front of the camera and she had the cutest outfit so we had a blast! Here are my favorites:

Told you she is a natural!

CutiePie!

Taylor, thanks so much for braving the snow with me! You are one beautiful girl and made my job incredibly easy! I hope you like your pics and I can’t wait to show you the rest! Enjoy the pics everyone!

A Christmas Gift

Bethany Leisure — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 06:03:49 +0000

I’m so happy to finally be putting these images up on the blog, I took these photos of Josie and Cassius(LOVE their names!) at the beginning of December, their Mom wanted photos of these two to give as Christmas gifts so I decided to wait until the big day came to do their blog post (so that none of the recipients accidentally came across the pics online:)

The shoot was a lot of fun-it was SO cold out but these two were REALLY good sports about it:)

So, here they are…

These next few are my favorites from the day…

Josie- keep up the good work in school so you can reach those amazing goals you’ve set for yourself:)

Cassius-looking forward to getting pics of you with your skateboard-when it’s warmer!

It was so nice meeting you guys-I’m really looking forward to our next session, hope your family love their gifts!

Have an amazing Christmas everyone!

Wellspring has so much going on in 2010- so keep up with us, we’ll be busy:)

Alex

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

Bethany Leisure — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:53:32 +0000

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!
