{A Beautiful Glow} - Cbus Maternity Photographer

Today was a great day! I started out with my morning XOWii of course, packed up the babies, kissed everyone goodbye and watched my husband embark on his first outing - just him and the babies. It was quite entertaining to watch (sorry honey)! Then I sat back and started to think about the day ahead. First up, my very first maternity shoot!

Cari and Rich signed up for one of my free session offers back in the Fall and I was so excited to get a message from Cari! She and I go way back. I met her when I was 19 years old! Anyway, haha, the day had finally arrived so I put aside my nervous jitters and started playing with my lighting. Then I thought about all the ideas I had written down when thinking about Cari's personality. Then they knocked on my door and we got to work! It was so difficult for me to choose just one photo, so I chose 3. I can't wait to share more of their photos with you in a few weeks. But they get to see them first!

Enjoy their sneak peak :)





Coming up tomorrow - Josh's professional headshots! Have a great evening!

9 Months Old {Homestead Park}

I had the pleasure of photographing baby Tori and her Mommy and Daddy this past Sunday afternoon. We met at Homestead Park and walked in a full circle, snapping over 1000 photos! I couldn't resist capturing little Tori and her love rolls. She did such a great job and only fussed toward the end of our session. It was time to eat! :) Mike and Bri are engaged to be married and I got some amazing shots of them as well.

To this beautiful family,
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to witness your love for one another and for your beautiful baby girl! I hope you enjoy this sneak peak. Your private gallery will be available in a day or two. It was truly a pleasure spending the afternoon with you!

{Vest-Sesnowich Wedding}

My very first wedding!!!! I'm so honored that E&J hired me and put a lot of faith in my ability to capture one of the most amazing moments in their life. Especially after viewing my work in just a short amount of time. I spoke with the bride only 3 days before the ceremony, so I had to act fast and pray for amazing results. I'll let you all be the judge...enjoy the sneak peak. Their Ceremony and Bridal Party will be a Featured Session on my website, by the end of the week so make sure to look there for more pics!!

To E&J,
I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness. It was truly a pleasure getting to know you and your sweet puppy Max. It was an honor to witness your love. Thank you for choosing ME as your photographer.

Love,
Brandis

Bormann-White Engagement {Schiller Park}

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting up with a good friend, whom I hadn't seen in 10+ years, and his fiance. I knew the moment I saw them walking my way, all dressed up and looking fantastic, that this was going to be a really fun morning!

We started out at Schiller Park in German Village. This park is gorgeous and has some pretty amazing backdrops for photos. Here are four of my FAV's from this location.






We ended the morning at Homestead Park in Hilliard. We didn't get to go to all the places I had hoped, but we did get some pretty fantastic shots. This next photo inparticular, is my FAV so far. I still have 150 more photos to go through! :)



These two men have so much love for one another and it shows in their photos! They are super excited for May to come around so that they can finally get hitched!

C & J - I wish you both all the happiness in the world!
