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.

Mallorie and Avery {Toledo Children Photography}

October 13th, 2011

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:

Mal set this one up. She was telling me all kinds of poses she wanted to do, thought it turned out cute!

Claire and Katie {Toledo Children Photography}

October 10th, 2011

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!

Luke is One! {Toledo Baby Photography}

October 8th, 2011

I can't believe this guy is a year old already! I feel like it was just yesterday that I got to meet him! He is still just as laid back as he was as a newborn. He now has white blonde hair ::swoon:: So many smiles! Check out how much he's grown since here and here!

My favorite is this one on the right. Such a boy, every time he put a plant in his mouth we would shout "YUCKY!" and he would just laugh!

Phil and Kristina, he's just so cute. Thank you for allowing me to watch him grow. He's so sweet!

Norah {Toledo Baby Photography}

October 7th, 2011

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!

Aiden and Alli {Toledo Children Photography}

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!

Gideon is ONE! {Toledo Baby Photography}

October 4th, 2011

I can't believe this little guy is one! It seems like he was born just yesterday, where does the time go? I still absolutely love his hair…he has however begun to lose his baby fat! I don't think I can call him Mr.Squishy anymore….he is on the move and all that working to get around is thinning him out! I might need to think of a new nickname! Watch him grow here, here, and here!

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I love how he already sits like a boy! Plus he has some awesome expressions, makes me giggle! I'm digging his hair swoop…maybe his new nickname can be Elvis?

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Pretty sure he can pull off the nickname Elvis :)

Erin, you've done such a great job with him! He's a happy boy and just so cute! Love his three teeth and his strawberry blonde hair! The rest will be ready tomorrow!

Gabe and Family {Toledo Family Photography}

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!

Hunter and Shawnteal~Engaged! {Toledo Photography}

October 2nd, 2011

These two are awesome! I had such a great time hanging out yesterday and getting to know them better as a couple! They met a few weeks before freshman year so they have quite a history! They laugh a lot together which I love! I think their day is going to be really fun. (I am looking forward to another great season for 2012, so  many sweet couples!) I love how tall Hunter is and how tiny Shawnteal is, just so stinkin cute! Also Shawnteal has a great smile, when she is really laughing her nose gets this cute crinkle in it!

Jay and Erin~Engaged! (Toledo Photography)

September 21st, 2011

So, I'm totally psyched that these two booked me as their photog. The consultation was awesome, we just clicked. The engagement session just confirmed everything. I just loved hanging out with these two and watching them interact. I think we laughed the entire time and when I borrowed her ring to grab a couple shots they were just in their own little world, laughing and whispering…they are serious snuggle bugs and it's freakin cute.

This is Erin's tree…she found it and loved it and I agree…it's pretty schwiggin.
