Small Wonders Photography

Flower Power

Lily’s flower hat made us feel like spring was coming on a cold winter day! So the question is, could she be any cuter?

Landon’s many expressions kept us laughing, but his “serious” pose was so sweet that we had to post it.

And now for the big kids…

Part of the fun of photographing h.s. senior girls  is that I get to see some of THE cutest clothes. Allie has a great sense of style and looked fantastic in her sparkly black Betsey Johnson dress (so jealous!)

She’s one of the cool kids, literally! Morgan was game for going outside and braving the cold  for some of her senior portraits. She was a good sport and had fun on the ice at VanderVeer.

A big thanks to all those who participated in our Valentine sessions today!! We couldn’t help but post a few images from the day…especially Evan, AKA, cupid, below.

Then there was cupid’s girlfriend, Claire…

And, the Valentine superstars of the pack…Jake and Brewer!

If you missed getting in during the holidays…or you just love Valentine’s Day, here’s a sweet special to get an image of your baby loves or any of the sweethearts in your life. We have room for 12 sessions, so call us soon.

Leo liked posing with his “sparkly heart”.

So guess when our first date was?  February 15th…because I thought I’d jinx it on the 14th! It’s been 16 years since that date! By the way, we welcome the opportunity to photograph you with your sweetheart for a “grown up” Valentine portrait. Just get ready to pucker up:)

Small Wonders will offer candid photos of kids in costume (like this spooky owl!) during our Halloween Final Friday open house on October 30th. Photos will be taken from 4:30 to 6:30 to accommodate Trick or Treaters! So bring your little goblins in for a fun photo. Cost is $10 per 4×6 photo (on-demand printing). We’ll be officially open until 9 p.m., so Moms and Dads, feel free to stop in for a grown up beverage and treats for you too:)

Rylie Jo was the winner of the WQAD baby contest that Small Wonders sponsored last Spring. She was voted “cutest baby” and boy, is she ever!! Take a look at her 1st birthday photos below!

Corrine, Nick and Collin were our three latest senior sessions. All three are very nice young people with bright futures ahead of them. And Cori, I hate to embarrass you, but I remember you toddling around in diapers. Cori’s Dad, Mom and I worked together many moons ago when WE were the young ones:) Thanks for having your lovely daughter photographed by Small Wonders!

We were excited to have Tom  and Colleen Stalf and their staff from Niabi stop in last week to do a  short session with some beautiful animals from the Columbus, OH zoo. Tom and Jack Hanna were doing a special tour with a cheetah, clouded leopard, and snow leopard. They even let us get in the act…although Quinn now knows not to establish eye contact with the snow leopard! He got a major “hiss”. The handler told us the leopard has a long memory, and would remember him next time–ha!  All in all a wonderful experience! Our thanks to Tom and his crew.

Kari was the perfect subject for  late summer photography at Crow Creek Park .  These photos  capture  the mood of the August day, and Kari as she  begins her final year of high school. We wish her the best. ..

This couple did a cool metallic print of Mom’s baby bump. The new addition to their household should be here any moment. Congrats to the happy family:)

Our dog is in the twilight of his life, although you’d never know it from this pic! I told Quinn he needed to get more photos of him with our son. Here’s a Saturday on the porch.  Four canvases from this series will be in our son’s bedroom so he’ll always remember Barley.

We love the “pocket park” right down the street from our studio . It’s especially pretty this time of the year, but soon all the greens will turn to yellow, red and brown. All the better for us! This family couldn’t have looked cuter.  The vests on the boys, Mom’s  bare feet. Dad in the suit.  Makes the end of summer seem o.k.
