Anthony and Stephanie - Maternity Session

Colby Park in Wickliff was the location for Tony and Stephanie's maternity session.  Due to the unseasonably warm weather, we were able to take some great pictures with flowers in bloom.  Nature was showing its spring colors.  Flowers were in bloom. Lush grass was growing.  Trees were starting to sprout their leaves.  A beautiful day in April indeed. 

Stephanie and Anthony had a great time laughing at each other.  It was so exciting to see a couple who's wedding I photographed in 2009 still in just as much love as their wedding day.  I felt honored to be included in yet another milestone in their life's journey.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your next step in life.

Exciting News!!

The past few months I've been relatively quite.  Needless to say, I have been enjoying the downtime that comes with Cleveland "winters" with wedding photography.  I use the term winter loosely due to our unseasonably warm weather we had this year.  Next Saturday kicks off our 'official' wedding season with Keith and Monica's wedding.  This coming Monday, however, is our first ever Maternity Session!  I've done maternity pictures before, don't get me wrong, but this is the first one I'll be doing as Orchard Photography.  I'll be photographing Anthony and Stephanie.  Photographing these two is extra special because I photographed their wedding back in 2009.  I'm excited that I have the opportunity to be a part of their journey of building a family.

Maternity pictures are something to be proud of, however its not my big announcement.  After two weeks of interviewing prospective photographers in the area, I can officially announce that we're officially growing!  I'm bringing on three 1st photographers and three 2nd shooters that reflect my company's attention to detail, photographic style and respect for others.  My goal is to ensure that every person I bring on to photograph weddings is an extension of my beliefs, values, and talent to ensure that the quality of your images are no different than what is represented on my website.

Thank you to all of my past clients for helping me get to this point.  Without each and every engagement shoot, wedding, senior picture session and now maternity session, we would never be where we are today.  Its wonderful people like you that drives the heart and soul of Orchard Photography.  I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend!
