The story continues.. a moment of the life of Ashtyn and her wonderful parents!
ahhh, warm light! Lovin that lil kiss o’ sunshine peeking through!
Ashtyn and her daddy are super close!
I caught this as Jason was playing with Ashtyn to keep her happy in between outfit changes.. I think it worked! Look at the smile on BOTH of them!
I love later evenings when the sun brings long shadows on cozy walks

3 CommentsEvery year Kohne Photographic in Perrysburg holds a yearly Get Your Camera On photo contest. At the end of the contest they host a get together for the participants to see all the awards and winners and last year I donated a gift certificate and the lucky winner was talented art photographer Ellen L! She contacted me about a large family photo shoot but it ended up being of just her 3 BEAUTIFUL daughters! We opted for one of my favorite places, downtown T town and off we went!
The girls warmed up quick and by the end of the shoot they were all laughing and having fun (at least I hoped they were having fun!)
I asked if they were tired of being photographed by their mom but they admitted they don’t really let her shoot them! I understand that, cuz my teenagers hate it, but I make them cooperate for family pic every year. Its my ‘growth stick”! Since we just bought a house two years ago I don’t have the door we used to measure them on, so taking portraits is my measuring stick!
So ,check out these 3 gorgeous gals and leave them some comments below!
This first one was a surprise for mom, since she is a photographer, and each of the girls have at least a small interest in the art.
These girls were so fun! Thanks so much Laura, Rachel and Mara!

3 CommentsA quick peek of my time spent with Charlotte this morning at the Bay! It is my goal to hand my Holga off to each tot and snap an image of them. Now I just can’t wait to see what the images they have taken turn out to be!
Charlotte was.. well, not in the best picture taking mood this morning, so I had to grab what I could. When I was doing a quick edit to post this blog I found a quote in a childrens book that was perfect…

4 CommentsI first met Megan and Troy a few years ago (okay, maybe a lil before that) when they hired me to photograph their engagement session at Maumee Bay.They were using a friend for their wedding day photography, but liked my work so I got the honor of shooting them. Then, a couple years later Megan called me to photograph their daughter’s ONE YEAR photos. What an honor that they kept my information to call on me again!
Well, the lil cherub is now TWO and we went back to the Bay (they love the water!) and had some fun in the park. Check out these cheeks!
I love giving the kids my Holga to play with. can’t wait to develop this roll of film and post what they have taken!
I love how she just plopped in the water and chilled. That’s pretty much how I photograph kids.. I let them be themselves and capture that as best I can. I think it works, don’t you?!
I don’t always get smiles, but I sometimes like the somber ones better!
Thank you Megan and Troy, for being such great clients/friends! I look forward to our yearly shoots and communications!
Love, JPP
2 CommentsI know, I know! I am waaaaay beyond behind in blogging, but I promise to redeem myself in the next week.
As I was editing Camryn’s pictures from last week I just had to throw this lil gem up on the blog real quick before I head out for another shoot. It’s so hard for us to keep us with it all. Even with Jaylene rockin out the basic edits, I am shooting too much to keep up! Thus, I am now looking for a PART TIME graphic designer/album designer and office helper to join the JPP team! If you or anyone your know is proficient in Photoshop/Adobe Bridge and or has some knowledge of Lightroom, shoot me a Facebook message or an email at julie@jp-photography.net
Love, JPP
