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.

A New Family {Toledo Family Photography}

November 6th, 2011

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!

Tyler and Michelle~Engaged {Toledo Photographer}

October 28th, 2011

Holy cuteness…seriously. These two are so cuddly and smiley with each other. They are just truly happy to be around one another. They have this quietness about them, just happy in their own little world. Michelle is as sweet as can be, just a peach and has these fabulous green eyes! Tyler is enamored with her….he just looks at her in this way that you know he is gaga over her! She kept kicking up leaves and wanting to run through them (she loves outdoors) and he just smiled so big at her….just appreciating her for being herself. These two have that special bond that is really going to last forever and I'm just so thrilled I got to see it, even if only for an hour. Real love is just something to witness…never gets old! You'll see what I mean:

Audie {Toledo Child Photography}

October 27th, 2011

I got to photograph little Audie again! We went to MacQueen's orchard and spent some time picking apples and then eating some donuts! Yeh, it was a fun day! Audie is slowly warming up to me. He is usually pretty quiet around me but this time he was talking up a storm and he even laughed a few times! I still love his hair, it mohawks on its own….yeh. Awesome. Plus he has those big beautiful brown eyes!

I haven't photographed Avery since she was a newborn, and I haven't photographed Mallorie since she was Avery's age now! They have both grown so much and Mal has these amazing curls! (Which Avery is beginning to grow!) It was a fun and warm afternoon at 577 and both the girls are just so cute and really personable! Here are my faves:

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!

I can't believe Norah is a year and a half! She is still as smiley and funny as ever. She now has teeth and some curls, she 'hops' (without leaving the ground), and she is walking around like a pro! I had such a blast with her (as usual) and I think I grabbed some pretty cute expressions!
