These two had a special place in the city picked out: <a href="http://www.theoliverhousetoledo.com/">The Oliver House</a>. This is the spot where they first met a few years ago! We love photographing a couple in a place that means so much to them. Katie and Brandon were such a joy to work with.

This family was such a pleasure to work with - incredibly laid back and up for anything, including moving around furniture for good light:o) Johanna and Dave have 3 precious kids - Zoe and the twins, Ilan and Evin.

I can remember these two being born, growing up and now I can hardly believe that one is about to be a high school senior and the other is wrestling in junior high! Raegan is such a sweet girl and always up for a photo shoot, which is great b/c I love photographing her. Reed on the other hand did not particularly enjoy the session but he humored us and really ended up doing a great job. I know their mom was excited about this session and we are so happy that we were able to do this for her.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_27.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_28.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_29.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_30.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_31.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Thanks again Raegan and Reed!

She is such a grown up 10 year old and already a terrific model! We had a great time with these regardless of me stepping in something a little unpleasant and almost falling to my death down a set of stairs (for those of you who know me well none of this should surprise you, lol!).<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_32.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_33.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_34.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_35.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_portrait_photography_36.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Thanks so much Ashley, Josh and Jasmine!

They contacted us last year for some updated images of the two of them. While it is always an honor to photograph another photographer I have to admit it is a bit nerve racking as well. Well these two calmed those nerves in about 3 seconds. They could not be a more sweet, lovely and amazing couple. We laughed over pints, shot some images and then enjoyed a late night Asian snack including chic cocktails.

We thought this would be a good time to finally show you some of their holiday session. We have been doing this with the Nudds for several years now and could not enjoy it more. We kept mentioning that we should go to a different city one year and finally we made it happen. Joy spent a lot of her younger years in Charleston, SC - she considers it her hometown in fact. We have heard from Joy and many others how wonderful the city is and we could not agree more.<br /><br />But even more wonderful than the amazing setting of Charleston was the always fabulous company of Garrett, Joy, Graycen and Campbell. We adore this family and are so honored to photograph them.<br /><br />They have a great tradition going on with their Holiday greeting. Not sure what will happen once the girls start growing out of the shot:o)<br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_1.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_1a.jpg" /></center><br /><br />There is a reason those girls are so pretty...<br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_2.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Such a happy and very fashionable family!<br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_3.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Seriously, could these two be any cuter?<br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_4.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/nudd09_5.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Thanks again Nudd Family!!!

A tall boot with an open toe? A closed toe bootie with an open heel? Is it a shoe or a boot - thus inventing the shootie. Well it is the sandals turn to reinvent itself and I think it is just lovely.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/shoesweek37.jpg" /></center><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com">Jimmy Choo</a> could not have came up with this little gem soon enough. Just in time for Spring we have an edgy yet light sandal to go with all those flowery dresses and skirts that keep popping up. Of course this is not the perfect shoe for every girl, but then again has Choo ever designed for the timid?

Sticky and I spend more time together than most couples I know. Yet, we often have to remind ourselves to slow down and take time to just be together - no work, no distractions. It has been amazing catching up with my best friend these last two days. It was much overdue:o)<br /><br />While we had big plans to "shoot for ourselves" this weekend the cozy restaurants and bistros proved too tempting. So here is a little something from <a href="http://elenis.com/">Eleni's</a> - a fantastic cookie store in NYC. Be sure to check out all their fabulous offerings, including some options for your upcoming <a href="http://elenis.com/store/category/new-seasonal/oscar-season/">Oscar Party</a>:<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/productimage-picture-love_letters-7.jpg" /></center> <br /><br />Here's to spending each and every day with the ones you love.

Leo Steven arrived last month and we could not have been more excited to meet him. He is such a handsome little baby, just like his big brother Clay was. He was not all that into having his picture taken, he is quite the little snuggle bug, but we did manage to steal a few.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_newborn_photography_27.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_newborn_photography_28.jpg" /></center><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/ohio_newborn_photography_29.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Congrats Carl, Kim, Maddie, Clay, Alaina and Gunner!

I skimmed through patent red leather, delicate bows and classic slingbacks. All were terrific but not quite what I had in mind for the Holiday of Love. And then I spotted these and I knew I had been hit by cupid's arrow.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/shoesweek36.jpg" /></center><br /><br />I classic platform pump made into the most fabulous vintage pair of heels I have ever seen. The pinked trim, framed heel and cut-out doily suede say nothing less than "Will you be my Valentine?". I have to wonder if <a href="http://www.dior.com/prehomeFlash.htm">Christian Dior</a> himself was inspired by handmade Valentine creations made by many starry eyed lovers for the last several decades. It is not too late to make these yours on the day of romance.

This morning, as I stepped into the kitchen in hopes of more warm coffee, I looked out the backdoor and fell in love all over again with my favorite snow covered face. Life is full of simple little gifts and this is one of mine. <br /> <br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/willissnowday.jpg" /></center><br /><br />We have many images of Willis that I love - from his first swim to his eager rides on the Kelleys Island Ferry. But there is something about snow on this guy that really brings out his wonderful puppy dog face. And even though his chin has turned as white as snow over the years, we can still see that young and happy puppy whenever we look at him.<br /><br />Whether you are having a snow day or not we hope that you find many priceless unexpected gifts today and everyday:o)Brandy J Rammelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15933654660559917393noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702900943052967772.post-55038713587210068172010-02-09T13:53:00.002-05:002010-02-09T13:57:55.887-05:00kacy and brett | ohio e-session photographyWe had sun, lots of it in fact, but we pretty much froze during the first part of Kacy and Brett's e-session.

It's not that I did not know what it was, I was just too busy to acknowledge it. And then there were the comments, the questions, the looks. Everyone wanted to know what exactly what was going on. For crying out loud - what happened to the shoe posts??!!<br /><br />Have no fear all my fellow shoe fetishers. They are back and oh how I have missed doing these posts! And of course I could not have started with just any ole' heel. They had to be special, they had to be fabulous, they had to be CHOO.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r81/brandyjadams/shoesweek35.jpg" /></center><br /><br />Who would not love their perfectly manicured toes peeking out of these feather adorned heels by the one and only <a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com/us/page/home?notify=yes">Jimmy Choo</a>? And for all you fashionistas out there - I know, I know, we have seen so many feathers the last couple of years. But these are different in that they are natural and dramatic at the same time. I love how the feathers sweep around the shoe, like it was the way nature intended. And those golden studs, the ideal finishing touch.
