The Wedding of Cassady & Adam

2011-10-03T09:48:00.002-04:00

The first time I met Cassady was a few years back when I photographed her Aunt's Birthday Party. She approached me and said "I love your photography! If I ever get married I want you to photograph my wedding." Well just a few short years later, there she was! A beautiful bride marrying her soul mate. They are an incredible couple and it is easy to see the love they have for each other.

What a beautiful wedding and day it was. The perfect beginning to a wonderful life together!

Congratulations Cassady & Adam! May every day be as happy as this one was!

Taylor's Senior Shoot

2011-09-20T15:20:00.003-04:00

This was a new venture for me; senior portraits! I must say, I really enjoyed them!! This senior and his family were wonderful, and so fun, to work with!

Taylor is very easy going and a complete natural in front of the camera. I am so accustomed to chasing toddlers around and coming up with tricks to get them to look into the camera that it was refreshing, and almost relaxing, to photograph someone older who knew exactly what to do.

Best wishes to Taylor for a fun, safe and memorable senior year!

Here a few of my favorites!

Summer Portrait Party!

2011-09-20T14:58:00.004-04:00

Back in August, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing six adorable familes! One of the participant families generously opened up their home and land for location use.

What a beautiful property they have! Gorgeous country setting, lovely gardens (vegetable and flower) and a grove of apple trees. It was a blast to photograph there.

Here are some of my favorites from the day!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the families who participated in this portrait party!! Words cannot express how much I appreciate you!

Beautiful Evening Maternity

2011-08-24T10:42:00.004-04:00

I just love evening shoots. Because I primarily photograph families, shoots are scheduled in the morning hours. Morning hours = happy kiddos!

But when I get the chance to do an evening shoot, I feel giddy! The lighting for evening shoots can go one of two ways....golden and glowy or dramatic and moody. For this particular shoot, it was the latter. And I was thrilled with the results!

Kristy is so lovely and pregnancy suits her well! She walked up to my car in heels and I was amazed. When I was in my third trimester you could find me in Uggs on the weekends and flats on workdays. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from our evening shoot...

a girl?

or a boy?

The N Family

2011-07-11T21:16:00.002-04:00

What a fun shoot this was! My first shoot in my hometown since moving back. I have always wanted to photograph a family or children at the Adena Mansion & Gardens and yesterday was my first opportunity! The possibilities for beautiful backdrops are endless.

But, this family made my job so easy! They are happy, easy going and E was an absolute doll! She is about to turn two years old, so this shoot was to document her second birthday! She is very independent and knows what she wants; not bad qualities in a little girl. May she always stay that way!

Here a few of my favorites!

The G Family

2011-06-16T16:57:00.005-04:00

Sometimes I meet up with a family for the first time and we just immediately click and I leave feeling like I have known them my whole life! This session was one of those times!

This family just moved to the Columbus area from the South. Maybe it was their sunny personalities that made them feel so familiar, but the four of them are just the sweetest!

Here are a few of my favorites!

Mom (like most moms) said she is always behind the camera, so we made sure to get some shots of her with the kids!

The little man just turned a year old! Aren't his blue eyes beautiful?!

my favorite!

The W Family

2011-06-06T22:16:00.003-04:00

This was not this first time that I have photographed this lovely momma. Back in the Spring she contacted me the photograph herself and her coworkers, as well as their office environment because they were updating their website.

I was so happy to hear from her later in the Spring when she contacted me again regarding a more informal session with her family! It was an absolute pleasure to meet her adorable children and it turns out that I have met her husband before as well! In a roundabout way earlier in the week, we realized that our husbands knew each other in the professional world and I had just met him in my husband's office the week before. It is a small, small world we are living in.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

just look at the adoration this big brother has for his baby sister. soooo sweet!

Sisters

2011-06-04T11:41:00.003-04:00

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost." - Marion C. Garretty

These two girls are so incredibly sweet. I can tell they are going to be such good friends throughout their life together! I love watching siblings interacting with each other. I love the way they play together, show affection to one another, and even get on each others nerves a little bit. It is so sweet because I know these are the days they are always going to remember. The days they will recall fondly as their "childhood."

Even though these two are friends right now, I know that as the years go by, they will only become closer. Standing up for one another and celebrating each other's triumphs. What a special gift to have a sister!

Aren't they just the cutest?!

The beautiful big sister!

and the equally lovely little sister!

this one melts my heart!

The Barr Family

2011-05-07T19:21:00.004-04:00

I can't believe how quickly the past 7 months have gone! I first met this family back in October when I photographed their newest addition. Now he is sitting up, smiling and interacting with his (very proud) big sister and parents.

We had originally planned an indoor session but thankfully the rain clouds stayed away long enough to photograph in the vibrant green grass and among the tulips!

Thanks so much for asking me to photograph your lovely family! It was so much fun seeing the four of you again! Have a VERY happy Mother's Day! :)

Sweet Baby A

2011-04-06T12:32:00.006-04:00

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this beautiful baby girl last week! She was the most alert nerborn I have ever photographed. You can tell this little one is so eager to learn! She just did not want to miss anything. She was awake for most of the shoot...big, beautiful blue eyes!

then, she fell fast aleep...

but only for a moment. look out mom & dad, I think you have a "power napper" on your hands. ;)
thank you so much mom & dad for allowing me to photograph your lovely family! it was a pleasure to work with you!!

Happy Spring!

2011-03-25T23:33:00.004-04:00

Hopefully we don't wake up to snow on the ground. Now that it is officially Spring, hearing the word "snow" in the forecast makes me want cry. Please Mr. Weatherman, no more snow this year.....until December. I really do love snow and when the holiday season rolls around again, I will be the first to admit how much I LOVE the white stuff. But for now, I've had my fill. I'm ready for green grass, sunny days and trips to the park in flip flops.

I spotted these at the grocery store and couldn't pass them up! I thought they would look wonderful perched upon our kitchen table, breathing a little life into our home after a long, drab, winter. They are doing just that! They are such a pretty shade of pink. I couldn't help but snap a few pics.

Here's to getting back those 70 degree days we enjoyed earlier in the week. :)

Happy Spring!

10 months?!

2011-03-17T14:05:00.004-04:00

Already? How can it be? Time is passing entirely too quickly. Happy 10 months to our happy baby girl! It won't be long before we are celebrating her first birthday!

DC then, DC now

2011-03-17T12:26:00.002-04:00

A year ago, in my 30th week of pregnancy, we decided to take a last minute trip to DC together. One last trip just the two of us, before it was no longer "just the two of us." It was a great trip despite the blizzard in the mountains of WV that almost left us stranded. It was everything we wanted it to be. We relaxed, got away from our 9-5s, and even saw a few hints of spring on the budding trees near the Jefferson Memorial. It so nice to get away right when the doldrums of winter were kicking in. We made a promise to each other to return with our daughter in one year.

This year, a much different experience. Our daughter doesn't like to sleep anywhere but in her carseat or her crib. You can imagine the sleep deprivation we were feeling by the time we made it home! But we really did have a nice trip together. Our first trip anywhere as a family of 3! We definitely made some memories that Jeff and I will never forget. Memories that we can share with our little girl through pictures and stories.

I never shared any of the pictures from our trip last year because I was big, uncomfortable and exhausted by the time I made it home from work, made dinner and cleaned the kitchen. And truthfully, I have yet to finish editing the photos. When you photograph other families your own family photos tend to take the back burner.

However....here are a few from our trip last year. I hope you enjoy!

me, in my 30 weeks glory...

one year later...Layla at 39 weeks

Georgetown is one of my most favorite places...

what are vacation photos without a map shot?

and an "on the road" shot? :)

and one last shot of our little family!

A Work in Progress....

2011-03-17T12:14:00.005-04:00

You might notice a few changes around JenniferLehner.com. I am in the process of revamping my blog as well as building a website to more easily navigate my portfolio! I hope to have these complete within the next month. In the meantime, thank you so much for bearing with me.

I am so excited about these changes and there are many more exciting things to come for Jennifer Lehner Photography!!

My poor blog has been so neglected throughout the past few months. Through the end of the year, I was incredibly busy with portrait parties, holiday card sessions and other family sessions. I just didn't have the time to add one more thing to my to do list - the holidays are busy as it is. If you are a fan of my photography page on Facebook, you were still able to view these incredible sessions with amazing families!

Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to share those past sessions here on the blog, as well as my current work!

Thanks again for bearing with me throughout all of these changes!! I can't wait to share my new "look" with you!!

And because I do not believe in posts without pictures - hey, I'm a visual person - here are a few new pictures of our daughter snapped in her room the other day!

The Fox Family

2010-11-21T22:09:00.004-05:00

I met up with the Fox Family in Dublin, one chilly September morning. It was so much fun watching all of the cousins playing and interacting with each other.

The mom of one of the children said in passing, "there is a story behind every picture." I LOVED that, because it is so true. Sometimes there is a lot of tricking and bribery going on, but other times it is pure and natural. Life being lived...in the moment. This is why I enjoy doing photography so much. I love capturing these sweet fleeting moments, that would soon become just a foggy memory. But with a photograph, they are captured in vivid color for many generations of family to see.

Here are a few of my favorites from our morning together.

Cassady & Adam - Engaged!

2010-11-10T12:45:00.004-05:00

I was super excited when I received an email from Cassady telling me that she and Adam were engaged! I first met Cassady in the Summer of 09 when I photographed a birthday party for her Aunt. Since then, I have photographed Cassady & Adam as well as Cassady and her brother. I was even MORE excited when she told me that she wanted me to do their engagement photos and their wedding next Fall!!

I met up with Cassady & Adam at Inniswood on a Saturday evening and chatted about their wedding plans as we took a stroll through the park. They claim to be uncomfortable in front of the camera, but I think they are total naturals! Wouldn't you agree?

Cassay & Adam - I am so excited for you and I am looking forward to photographing your wedding day! I know you will have a beautiful day!

Here are just a few from the park.

10/16 Portrait Party - Goodale Park

2010-11-10T09:51:00.005-05:00

I LOVE portrait parties! I really do. It is such a fun way to spend a morning - meeting new families and documenting the special connections they share. Learning all about the quirks of their children, and finding out the funny tricks their parents have learned that make them smile. :)

Here are a few of my favorites from the October 16th portrait party in Goodale Park!

The Laihr Family

2010-11-10T09:47:00.003-05:00

I had the pleasure of meeting up with a family, that I first met at my portrait party over the summer, at Inniswood Gardens to get some photos in front of the lovely fall color.

To the Laihrs, I hope you enjoy these photos!! It was so nice to see you again!

Beautiful Evening

2010-10-15T10:23:00.003-04:00

I met with Gernei and her mommy at park one beautiful evening at the end of August. Gernei had fallen asleep in the car on the way to our meeting.

She was such a sweet, sleepy girl at first. So we walked around and looked at the flowers and soon she was ready to play.

Here are a few of my favorites.

New Castle, DE

2010-10-02T15:35:00.003-04:00

Over the summer, we went to visit my sister, brother in law and our two new nephews. While visiting, we drove down to New Castle, DE. It has been a regular spot for us to go each time we visit.

New Castle, DE is was originally settled in 1651 right on the Delaware River; both making for a very cool place to visit. Each time we go, summer or winter, we have dinner at Jessop's Tavern, originally built in 1674. After an awesome meal, we take a stroll along the Delaware River, only a few blocks from the restaurant.

If you ever find yourself traveling through Delaware, New Castle is worth a stop to view the original cobblestone streets, colonial architecture and a meal at Jessops or one of the other colonial style restaurants in the area.

One Year Old Darling

2010-09-27T17:21:00.005-04:00

Layla just turned a year old and her parents wanted to get some photographs to document this special time in their lives.

She is a pro at walking. She was such a happy, busy girl with lots of things to do and see. We spent some time walking around the park, looking at flowers and leaves. We ended the evening with a smash cupcake. She dove right in to the icing and liked the cake too!

Here are a few of my favorites from our evening.

7 day old sweetheart

2010-09-14T19:10:00.003-04:00

I spent a few hours last Friday with the sweet, seven day old, Faith. You might recognize her adorable family from their maternity session last month.

She was an angel the entire time I was there. The only time she got a little (and I mean a little) fussy was when she felt hungry. After a quick feeding and some gentle shooshing from her mommy, she was ready for more picture-taking.

To the Sobels, you are such a sweet family. Faith is just precious. I know she is starting off on an amazing journey with a family who loves her very much. Especially her big brother.

Kelsie is turning 3!

2010-08-30T13:54:00.003-04:00

I have been photographing Kelsie and her family since her first birthday, which was my first smash cake session. She was so dainty and delicate dipping her finger in the frosting and then having a taste. I knew she was going to be such a girly girl. Boy was I right! When I talked to Kelsie's mom about where she'd like to meet for the session, she had just the place. A local park featuring a stage where Kelsie likes to sing and dance.

I was lucky enough to get a shot of Kelsie performing her best rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at the top of her lungs. Seriously, so cute.

Fun, Adorable Family of Four

2010-08-16T22:28:00.004-04:00

Britt is a fellow photographer. She took our family photos when we were blessed with Layla's arrival. I was looking for someone to come and snap a few pics of us as a family once we brought her home. I emailed her around the same time she emailed me offering to do a photo session swap! I was so excited! Our session with her was great and I finally repaid the favor last weekend, when we met up in downtown Westerville for an urban photo shoot.

This type of shoot was not my typical shoot, but I really enjoyed to backdrops and props an urban area has to offer. Her family is so sweet and adorable!

Britt, it was great to meet the rest of your family. I hope you enjoy these!

Beautiful Maternity

2010-08-09T09:41:00.003-04:00

I met with the Sobel Family last weekend, to document this exciting time in their life together. They are growing more beautiful by one with the addition of a little daughter in September.

I can't wait to meet your sweetheart next month!

6 month old cutie

2010-08-07T12:19:00.002-04:00

I've been photographing this family since their oldest was 9 months old! Now their youngest is 6 months! Time flies, but it has been so fun to watch this family grow. One of the best parts about doing photography is meeting sweet families such as the Fraziers!

Here are some favorites from their session!

Summer Portrait Party | Goodale Park

2010-07-19T21:17:00.007-04:00

Last Saturday was a beautiful day in Goodale Park for the Portrait Party.

Gorgeous weather, awesome families, adorable little kiddos; a perfect day!

Here are a few (several) of my favorites!

The TWINS!

2010-07-12T15:47:00.004-04:00

My sister and brother-in-law welcomed their twin boys two weeks to the day after our sweet daughter was born!!

We finally got to meet the little guys over 4th of July weeekend when we went to visit them on the East Coast. We were there right around their one month birthday! They are the sweetest little boys and I am so happy to call them my nephews. We are so excited to have them so close in age with our daughter. We know they will be great friends over the years, and probably as protective of her as if she were their little sister. I can't wait to see what the years have in store for these three babies.

Candi & Brian, you are already wonderful parents! I just know you are getting these little angels off to a perfect start to what is sure to be two beautiful lives. Love you!! XO

Mine On Monday - 7/12

2010-07-12T14:18:00.004-04:00

A couple of blogs that I follow, feature a weekly post entitled "Mine on Monday" where they post a shot from the past week. I always enjoy reading them, and have decided to start doing these posts as well.

Every time I see this happy little face, my heart just melts. This is our daughter's 8 week picture. I'm taking a photo each week for her first year of life to put in a photo book for her first birthday. I can't believe how much she has grown and changed already. I try to take a shot that is indicative of something she does a lot during that particular week. This past week, she has been smiling and "talking" to us a lot after each of her feedings. I love this time of the day and try to absorb as much of it as I can.

Love.

2010-06-22T11:19:00.002-04:00

Layla Claire was fashionably late (by ten days!) and graced our lives with her presence May 17th at 12:21pm. We are so blessed! Parenthood is so wonderful and so much more special and rewarding than we could have ever imagined! Waking up every morning and seeing her sweet little face is pure heaven.

I'm a little slow in posting these because, let s face it, I've been a little busy. :)

Here's our beautiful girl!

Love her more than words can express.

Headbands!

2010-06-22T11:15:00.003-04:00

If you are interested in ordering your own headbands for your child (sizes newborn through adult!) visit Erin Johnson's blog Four Munkees for ordering information. She does a beautiful job and all the flowers are handmade!

Portrait Party!

2010-06-21T17:34:00.003-04:00

Coming up July 10th at Goodale Park! This is a great opportunity to step out from behind the camera and get some shots with your family. Special portrait party packages and prices. Please contact me if you're interested! :)

Dogwoods in Bloom

2010-04-30T19:04:00.003-04:00

The dogwoods are in full bloom right now. So beautiful! I love Spring in Ohio. It *almost* makes the tough winters worth it, to fully appreciate the Spring.

and a pretty little reminder of fall and winter among the dogwoods and wildflowers.

A Day in the Park

2010-04-29T16:56:00.003-04:00

I spent some time in the park today, walking and photographing. What a beautiful day!! Just wanted to share a few from my walk.

Mother's Day Special

2010-04-27T20:32:00.000-04:00

The Fraziers

2010-04-12T21:56:00.004-04:00

If you've been following my blog for awhile, you will likely recognize this adorable family with the exception of one little guy. Their 6 month old, Logan.

I joined the Fraziers in their lovely home to photograph Logan on his 6 month birthday and take some family shots. Aaron, the big brother, will be turning three very soon as well! So I was sure to get a few shots of him alone.

Thank you to the Fraziers for inviting me to their home to photograph these milestones in their lives.

Logan. Take a look at this little guy sitting all by himself!

Aaron. How fun to be three!

So much love and friendship between these two already...

Anticipation

2010-03-03T19:27:00.003-05:00

I met Mark & Veronica last weekend to capture this amazing time in their lives; anticipating the arrival of their first child.

They are an incredibly warm, and friendly couple. I just know they are going to be great parents and their little baby is lucky to have been blessed with these two.

They brought along a few special items to them. I love when clients do this. It makes the photos and shoot so much more personal. They are very excited to read to their little baby as well as put on a puppet show, with the two cutest puppets!!

Mark & Veronica...it was great to see you again. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

And baby makes four!

2010-02-16T19:33:00.006-05:00

The Frazier Family has grown more beautiful by one.

Meet tiny, sweet, baby Chase. Only 9 days old for his first photo session and he was such a treat to photograph. A sleepy little newborn, who rarely fussed until he got hungry.

Addison is an extremely proud big sister. Can't you see the pride and love in her eyes?

To the Fraziers...it was great to see you again and meet your little man. Congratulations, he is precious!

Another COLD day!

2009-12-30T10:56:00.001-05:00

Back in the beginning of December, I met up with the lovely Cassady to take photos of her and her brother, as well as her and her boyfriend, for Christmas gifts for her mom and grandma.

We opted for some outdoor photos, and were graced with the presence of a few stray flurries. We met up in Yoctangee Park in Chillicothe and got some lovely shots near the Pump House Art Gallery, as well as in the historic district along Water Street.

Thanks Cassady, for thinking of me for your portraits. I hope your mom and grandma were surprised and loved their gifts! :)

Baby it's cold outside!

2009-12-03T19:57:00.004-05:00

But the chilly weather didn't stop the smiles on this sweet little guy's face. Only ten months old and I got nonstop eye contact and big, bright smiles. Every photographer's dream.

I met up with the Stevens family in Chillicothe's Yoctangee Park to photograph little Lantz. I loved the hats his mom brought along and couldn't wait to start snapping when she put the little furry hat on him.

Thanks so much for contacting me for your family photos and it was so nice to see you again, Blayne! I hope you enjoy your preview!

The Wedding ofErica & Matt

2009-11-22T11:33:00.003-05:00

Remember this couple from their engagement shoot back in April? Well they tied the knot! The big day took place in a lovely little church in Southern Ohio with a reception that followed at the Christopher Conference Center in Chillicothe.

They are such a sweet, loving couple and I was honored to be part of their wedding day! Erica & Matt - Jeff and I wish you all the happiness in the world in this life you've begun together.

Here's your sneak peek!

Addison's Second Birthday!

2009-11-20T18:13:00.002-05:00

The Fraziers are one of my favorite families to photograph. I first met them over a year ago when Addison was just around 9 months old!

One of the best parts of doing photography is meeting the awesome families that I do and watching their little babies grow into toddlers so full of energy and life! It's hard for me to believe that Addison is about to turn two years old, so I'm sure it is even harder for her mommmy & daddy to believe!!

Thanks again for the opportunity to photography your family and document Addison's second birthday!! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Frazier Holiday Session

2009-11-20T10:34:00.001-05:00

Last weekend, I met up with the beautiful Frazier family to take some holiday photos in front of their Christmas tree! Seeing their tree made me so excited to start decorating our own home for Christmas (in spite of the unseasonably warm weather we've been having).

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and thank you for inviting me back to capture your holiday photos again this year!

Holiday Cards!

Beautiful Fall Day

2009-11-13T21:44:00.003-05:00

Last weekend, I met up with a lovely family at the Everal Barn in Westerville. The weather was perfect for fall! A little chill in the air, but sun kept us warm. They were interested in getting some family photos, candids and photos of their daughter.

Their sweet little girl was so much fun to photograph. Independent and very curious - not to mention she gave me great eye contact! She's so photogenic, I have a feeling she's used to looking at the camera.

It was so nice to meet the three of you!! Thank you very much for the opportunity. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

The Wedding ofNicole & Brett

2009-11-09T18:51:00.004-05:00

Back in September, I had the pleasure of photographing my cousin Brett's wedding to his lovely bride, Nicole. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you might remember their engagement photos from last October. They are a great couple, so in love (not to mention incredibly photogenic)!

I was thrilled that they trusted me with their wedding photography, but I also loved being behind the scenes of their wedding day. Wedding days are so full of beautiful emotions, not only from the bride and groom, but also from their families and wedding party. Though sometimes I feel almost intrusive on those moments, I'm so honored to be there and usually end up emotional right along with them. Truthfully, I don't think I've made it through a wedding yet, without shedding a few tears of my own.

Brett & Nicole - thank you so much for asking me to photograph you wedding. I hope that you love your sneak peek. Jeff and I wish you all the best that love and life have to offer! We can't wait to see what the future holds for your marriage. XOXO

Happy Halloween!!

2009-10-31T12:13:00.003-04:00

Everyone have a Safe and Happy Halloween!! Watch out for the little trick or treaters, if you're out and about!

My Favorite Time of Year

2009-10-31T12:05:00.003-04:00

Last weekend, while Jeff was working, my mom met me at Mound City in Chillicothe to take some fall photos and go for a little hike. I love going to Mound City. It has such a beautiful landscape and the history there is chill-inducing. We go a few times a year. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. It has such an interesting story.

But that particular weekend was at the height of the fall color and I knew I had to get out and take some photos. I'm so happy the weather cooperated.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I know most people love hot (or at least warm weather) but I love throwing on a sweater or light jacket to going outside to enjoy the brisk air. Everything about fall makes me feel cozy and happy. The apple picking, the pumpkins, the changing of the leaves, crockpot dinners and warm apple cider. Oh, and of course Ohio State football! :)

Here are a few of my favorite photos from our Fall hike. I hope you enjoy them! :)

my favorite shot from the hike

my hiking buddy for the day, my wonderful mom

and a RARE occurance...a picture of me. i decided to hand my camera over and let my mom take a shot of me. i think she did a great job! (thanks Mom!)

Sweet Kelsie

2009-10-12T19:50:00.003-04:00

This blog post is a bit overdue as you will see from the few photos taken at the splash park. These were obviously taken when the weather was still quite warm.

I bet you will remember Kelsie from her first birthday session a year ago. Can you believe how much she has grown up?! She is such a sweet girl! She insisted on holding my hand as we walked to the splash park. She had a great time filling up her bucket and splashing around in the water. It reminded me to take time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, especially before the summer season ended.

Thanks so much to Kelsie's parents for inviting me to capture your little lady's second birthday. I hope you enjoy these fleeting moments captured in time.

Family Reunion / 50th Birthday Party

2009-09-30T19:52:00.004-04:00

At the end of August, I had the pleasure of photographing The Hough Family Reunion, combined with a 50th birthday party.

The event took place in Chillicothe's Yoctangee Park. The weather could not have been more perfect. Everyone enjoyed themselves by visting with loved ones, playing cornhole, tossing a frisbee and savoring the amazing BBQ meal catered by the local Canal House restaurant.

Thanks so much to Leigh for inviting me to photograph the event. It was wonderful to meet your family and friends. I hope you enjoy this preview!

The Snyder Family

2009-08-29T12:58:00.004-04:00

I had the pleasure of meeting up with a couple of old friends, and their adorable little boy, in Chillicothe's Yoctangee Park last Monday evening. They wanted to get a few family photos but with more of a focus on Keegan to commemorate his third birthday.

It was a gorgeous evening, with lovely light. There was plenty to see, hear and do in the park that evening. We watched ducks swim in the lake, heard a train in the distance and even took some time out for playing on the playground.

It was so great to see you guys and finally meet your little man. I hope you enjoy this preview!!

A Beautiful Mom (of soon to be two)

2009-08-10T21:05:00.003-04:00

After their family session, the attention and lens were focused on Kathy because the Fraziers are expecting their second child!

We can tell Kathy & Damon are exceptional parents and their new baby is very lucky to be born into such a loving family. They do not know if they are having a boy or a girl, but one thing is certain - Aaron will be a wonderful big brother!

Maternity photography is a new venture for me and I was very excited to have the opportunity! A big 'thank you' to the Frazier family for welcoming me into their home to photograph them.

The Frazier Family

2009-08-05T21:56:00.003-04:00

Another great family! I bet you'll remember them from a session last November. If you take a look back, you won't believe how much this little guy has grown. He is so animated and was such a blast to photograph.

Jeff and I visited the Fraziers in their lovely home to take some family photos and document Aaron's second birthday. He took us all around his yard, showed us some of his toys and kept us laughing & entertained the whole time. It was such a beautiful morning with lovely light. What more could I possibly ask for?

Kathy & Damon - thanks again for trusting me with your photos. I hope you enjoy this preview!

The Wedding ofAmanda & Scott

2009-07-30T08:27:00.007-04:00

What an amazing wedding!

Two weeks ago Jeff & I, and a few of our friends, traveled down to Candler, NC for the wedding of one my very good friends and college roommate for 3 years. Candler is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Asheville. The perfect backdrop for an outdoor summer wedding.

Friday night started off with a Welcome BBQ complete with a live bluegrass band and a slip 'n slide for the kids. It seemed as though everyone was as happy and relaxed as they'd be if they were on vacation. What a calming, laid back way to kick-off the weekend festivities!

The Welcome BBQ and Wedding were held at the Brahma Ridge Event Center, surrounded by an array of wildflowers. Everything about this wedding was so personal to the couple. Even if I hadn't already known them going in, I would have felt like I had known them my whole life by the end of the weekend.

Amanda & Scott - I know you have an incredible life ahead of you. Jeff and I are so happy for you and were honored to be a part of your wedding day! I hope you enjoy this (slightly large) preview of your wedding photos. Remember...."All You Need is Love." Love you!

Now, grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax because you're going to be here awhile. This is my largest share to date.

Father's Day

2009-07-15T23:19:00.002-04:00

These are long overdue for posting. I've been buried in proofing for a few weeks now. This is a break from the ordinary. A peek into my life and my emotional (somewhat sappy) nature. If you don't like sappy posts....stop right here. :)

Somehow I think waiting to proof these, made me appreciate them even more. These photos got me to thinking how there is so much beauty in every day. Most days we are too busy (or at least think we are) to step back and take it all in. But it's always there, waiting for some of our time and attention.

This Father's day was particularly special. The beginning of 2009 was not kind to my father. He has had to face some major health issues. But even with bad can come good. He has come through it all with such strength and determination. We are so proud of him. Dad...Father's Day was a blessing and I'm so happy we got to spend it together the way we did.

We went to Scioto Trails and grilled lunch. We spent time sitting & talking. We laughed at Charlie as he rolled around on the ground scratching his back and grunting. The weather was perfect. It was warm. There was a soft breeze. Other than our chatter, laughter and Charlie's occasional howl, the only sounds that could be heard were the birds singing and the wind rustling in the trees. I loved this day. I will always remember it.

Each of these photos are so special and beautiful to me for different reasons...

My husband. The love of my life. I realize more and more, every day, how deep my love for him runs.

Our dog, Charlie. The look of pure bliss on his face. He may not remember this day, but something tells me he loved it too.

My sister. Gorgeous inside and out. She drove 8 hours to be there for the weekend and we hated to watch her leave. (today's her birthday! Happy Birthday Sis!)

My lovely mom. My first best friend. I know she will hate this picture, because it's a picture of her and that's just the way she is. But I think she's beautiful. Kind & gentle with a warm smile and heart.

Last but, not least. My dad. The guest of honor. I know he was giving me a fake, sarcastic smile in this picture. But I love it. This may be only picture we have of Dad (digital or film) with a smile this big. Though he was being facetious, isn't it a great smile? You should do it more, Dad!

the next three are from the park where we had lunch.

It was a great day. One I won't soon forget. Though we were missing a few family members (my brother & his family and my brother in law) we certainly did not forget them and wished they could have been there with us.

I love you all very much and pray that you know it and feel it every day!

The Frazier Family

2009-07-03T15:57:00.004-04:00

One of my favorite families to photograph! If you've been following my blog for a while, you might remember Addison's 9 months photos or her one year photos. It's been so much fun watching her grow and learn to say and do new things. This time, she learned to say "Jenni." So cute!

I met up with Addison & her parents at the Everal Barn in Westerville to get some family photos. It was a scorcher, as the month of June typically is, but we stayed cool in the shade.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to photograph your family. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!

Meet Stella

2009-07-03T09:09:00.002-04:00

What a great name and so fitting for such a fun little girl!

Stella just turned two years old, but insists she is actually three. I met up with Stella and her parents at a local park, one of which I had never been to before. A beautiful location with waterfalls and various gardens. The perfect spot for some evening photos!

A big THANK YOU to Stella's mommy & daddy for trusting me with your family photos. I hope you enjoy your preview!

Great Day, Great Family

2009-06-24T22:30:00.004-04:00

I had the pleasure of meeting up with a family I have photographed before. Only this time, I got to meet a few more family members!

This was a new shooting location for me and I LOVED it! Great lighting, cool backgrounds and props. I have a very good feeling I will be shooting here again. Thanks for the idea, guys!

We had a gorgeous day! Not too hot, not too sunny, just right. Thanks so much for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your family. It was so nice to see you again and meet some new faces. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

these little guys are about to turn 5! Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY boys!

if only I had eyelashes like hers...

The Barhorst Family

2009-06-23T22:45:00.003-04:00

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with the Barhorst Family in Hilliard at Homestead Park to take some group photos of their loving family.

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and we thankfully finished up just before it got really hot outside.

Thanks so much to the Barhorsts for inviting me to spend a morning capturing your family photos. I hope you enjoy your preview!

Thanks Mom & Dad....

2009-06-13T14:46:00.002-04:00

for sending these wonderfully delicious strawberries. They were too beautiful to not take a few photos first.

an unlikely combination....but the colors worked so beautifully together.

The Wedding ofEmily & David

2009-06-03T21:57:00.005-04:00

You might remember Emily & David from their engagement session back in March.

A couple of weeks ago, they tied the knot on a super beautiful spring day in May. The sky threatened thunderstorms all day long. Thankfully the weather stayed nice, sunny and warm enabling us to get a few snaps outside before we headed to their awesome reception.

Emily & David opted to see each other before the ceremony, so Jeff and I arranged a special meeting of just the two of them (and our two cameras) in the sanctuary before guests began to arrive. It was truly a special moment and one I'm sure they won't soon forget.

Emily & David, you had a beautiful wedding and I was honored to be a part of it! Best wishes to you as you start down a new path in life together.

Amelia's First Birthday!

2009-04-28T22:07:00.003-04:00

Ok, here comes a big share. :)

I've decided that I LOVE to photograph one year olds. Especially when there is a smash cake involved. So much fun!

I had the privilege of meeting with Miss Amelia, her parents and their two kitties for her first birthday photo session last Sunday. Amelia is such a happy, smiley little girl and we were blessed with gorgeous weather, which resulted in some great photos.

Thanks so much Julie & Chris. It was a pleasure to meet you and I hope you enjoy these photos of your sweet little Amelia.

Erica + Matt

2009-04-15T17:01:00.003-04:00

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Erica & Matt last weekend in the Yoctangee Park in Chillicothe.

They were troupers! It looks like a gorgeous day in the photos, but it was so windy and chilly and the ground was still wet from the rain showers the day before.

Erica & Matt are a such a friendly and fun couple. They claimed to be uncomfortable in front of the camera, but they were naturals. :)

I hope you enjoy this preview! Jeff and I were pleased to meet you and are looking forward to what is sure to be a lovely wedding this September!

I had to share this crop of the above picture. Won't she be a beautiful bride?

Emily + David

2009-03-29T19:10:00.002-04:00

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Emily & David on Saturday for an engagement shoot before their May wedding!

The forecast was calling for rain. But we were blessed with a lovely Spring afternoon at Franklin Park Conservatory.

Emily & David are such a lovely & fun couple. I am very much looking forward to shooting their wedding in just over a month!

Loved theses images and wanted to share! Thanks again to Notestones for the opportunity!!

don't you just LOVE his expression in this one?!

The Notestone Family

2009-02-24T21:05:00.002-05:00

On Saturday, I had the privilege of photographing this lovely family. Their ten month old son was a joy to watch play! We decided to take a few family photos and then he got down on the floor and showed his toys to me. You can tell in this first picture how very much he is loved and the pure happiness he brings to his family!

I really hope you enjoy your preview. Thank you so much for the opportunity!!

Hmmm....

2009-02-23T12:00:00.002-05:00

It was brought to my attention last night that the main page of my blog was not showing up, however the links were still working.

After posting a test message, it appears to be working again.

Please leave a comment and let me know if you experienced this same problem.

Thank You. :)

White's Mill & Chester Courthouse

2009-02-21T13:28:00.002-05:00

Last Sunday, Jeff and I (Charlie, too!) went down to Athens, Pomeroy & Chester.

Our first stop was in Athens to photograph White's Mill along the Hocking River. I'm having trouble finding any history on the building. However, I have found that it now houses local artisan crafts, Native American jewelry and gardening supplies. It really is a beautiful spot for taking photos. But I think better weather would provide greater results.

Then we went down to Pomeroy to eat at the Wild Horse Cafe. I didn't take any pictures there because I was too hungry and focused on eating. It was a very cool restaurant, situated on the Ohio River. From our seat, we had a sweeping view of the river and watched as barges slowly drifted by. I highly recommend visiting it, should you find yourself in Pomeroy.

Last stop, Chester, Ohio. Home of Ohio's oldest standing courthouse which now houses the Ohio Appalachian Heritage Center. A very cool, old building. I found it amusing that the outside light fixtures were equipped for energy efficient light bulbs. :) My favorite thing about the Chester Courthouse was the old bell sitting on the ground. It was quite photogenic.

Snow Day - continued

2009-02-09T18:50:00.004-05:00

So it took awhile. But I finally processed a few of the files from my serendipitous snow day back in January!

Though they are few and far between, compared to snow days as a child, my love for them remains unchanged. Bundling up and heading out in the snow makes me feel like a little girl again. I love it when snokwflakes catch on my eyelashes or when I throw my head back and actually catch one on my tongue! It always reminds me of the Charlie Brown Christmas. I love the smell of a fire burning in a nearby fireplace. I love coming in from the cold, face still stinging, and making a big mug of hot chocolate and getting under a warm blanket. Snow days are the best!! Ok, enough rambling about my love for snow.

When Jeff got home from work (he still had to go, bummer) we took Charlie for a little walk and I brought my camera along...

Charlie loooooves the snow, too. He especially likes to smell it and get choked. :)

Snow Day!

2009-01-28T15:06:00.004-05:00

Though these photos are not from today, I finally had some time to make a new post. Maybe I will post some photos from today's storm, later.

This shot below is the same one as above without the TTV texture and antiquing. I was just playing around earlier, and kind of liked the way it turned out (top photo).

I hope everyone was able to stay inside today and are keeping nice & cozy.

Red Cup - Part II

2009-01-11T15:53:00.004-05:00

Inspired by last year's "Ode to the Red Cup," I snapped a few pics of this year's red cup.

I have to say, I liked the design of this year's cup much better. Mostly because of the tagline on the sleeve - "Do something good every day." What a great mantra to live by. But from an aesthetic standpoint, I love the circular shapes on the cup. Looks great in front he bokeh created by the Christmas lights.

No poem this year. But you do get two pictures, instead of one.

again - I am in no way affiliated with Starbucks. I just love their coffee. ;) Cheers!

waiting for snow

2009-01-10T11:37:00.005-05:00

I'm waiting for this "massive snowstorm" we are supposed to be getting. Right now its just freezing rain....I can't wait to break out my camera when the snow starts falling. I say massive, but honestly, we'll be lucky if this rain changes over the snow at all....

Going through my archives, I found this one that I took back in the fall and realized that I never shared it. I think I was going to do some kind of silly back to school post for my nieces and nephew, but then....who knows what happened? It completely slipped my mind. So I'll share now.

Just playing around in our office one evening after work, I put this little darlin' together.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

2008-12-24T11:46:00.004-05:00

We feel so blessed this holiday season. We have been reminded of the true meaning of Christmas and are so thankful for our family & friends.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Whatever holiday you celebrate, in the midst of the gift giving, food and drink, take a few minutes to step back and reflect upon all the you hold dear in your life. All that is important. All that truly matters. Hug your loved ones a little tighter and spend a little more time with them. Everything else can wait.

A happiest holiday season to you all!!

love,
Jenni & Jeff Lehner

Ariana

2008-12-17T22:01:00.003-05:00

You might remember Ariana's 5 month session from back in May. Would you believe she is turning a year old already?! Time flies.

Well to commemorate her first Christmas, and her first birthday, her parents wanted to have some photos taken. So I met up with them at the beautiful Ohio Statehouse for some shots in front of the Christmas tree. Then we went back to Ariana's house where she showed me her own tree, read a book to us, and then played the piano....I'm kidding. Kind of. She is one smart little girl and I have no doubt that she will be playing on the piano in no time.

Thanks so much for the opportunity! I hope you enjoy this preview and I hope Ariana has a wonderful first birthday!

can't you just hear her little laugh in this one?

for something a little different, I added a bit of texture to these last two.

Thanks for looking!

The Wedding ofMary Kate & JohnPart II

2008-12-15T18:35:00.002-05:00

Finally. A post from the lovely wedding of Mary Kate & John.

I was honored to be a part of their day and to be witness to their beautiful relationship and the beginning of their married life together. I wish you both all the happiness in the world and thank you for asking me to be a part of your day. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

The Wedding ofMary Kate & John

2008-12-09T12:29:00.004-05:00

On Friday following Thanksgiving I had the honor and privilege to photograph the beautiful wedding of the beautiful couple Mary Kate & John, in Cleveland, Ohio.

Here's one photo for now, but please check back soon for more from their wedding day.

The Frazier Family - Part III

2008-12-01T17:54:00.002-05:00

I bet you will remember this little sweetheart, from her 9 mo. session back in August. Time has flown and she just turned a year old over the long weekend.

After our morning photo session, Addison went home to refresh with a nap, and then she was ready to go for her one year photo shoot.

We also got a few photos in front of their tree; to commemorate the holiday season; so beautiful!

Thanks so much Kristi & Dustin. I hope Addison's First Birthday party was a wonderful day with friends and family - and I hope you enjoy these photos.

The Frazier Family - Part II

2008-11-30T17:28:00.001-05:00

Not only did I have the opportunity of taking the Frazier family portrait, I also got to take some photos of Kathy, Damon and their little gentleman, Aaron.

Aaron was so sweet. He loved, and was so intrigued by, the camera. We got a few pictures of him playing with his train set. Then he invited me to have a seat at his little table with him where he proceeded to tell me a story about something out the window. Too cute!

Thanks so much Kathy & Damon. It was so nice to meet you. I hope you enjoy your preview!

The Frazier Family

2008-11-24T19:23:00.005-05:00

This weekend I had the privilege of taking a family portrait for the Frazier Family.
What an incredibly warm, welcoming and friendly family.

Jeff and I have said more than once, one of the best things about photography is meeting such wonderful people, and this family was certainly no exception.

Thank you so very much for the opportunity.

Check back soon for the individual family photographs.

The Woolley Family

2008-11-13T22:00:00.002-05:00

Later in the day, last Saturday, I met with the Woolleys in Homestead Park for a family photo session. Their baby girl, Hannah, was one of the happiest babies I've ever seen! She gave me her biggest smile and was so excited, she kept waving her arms! She was so cute, I must have had the biggest smile on my face too!

Thanks so much Julie & Jon for the opportunity! It was so nice to meet your family!

I hope you enjoy this preview.

The Lichtensteiger Family

2008-11-11T22:05:00.005-05:00

I met with this wonderful family at Highbanks Metro Park over the weekend for family photos, as well as a few of their adorable 3 month old son.

Their little guy was such a captive subject. As soon as he heard the shutter release on my camera, he would look right at me!! It was perfect!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your family!

I hope you enjoy these few previews!

The Wedding of Brooke + Tom Part II

2008-11-08T19:07:00.004-05:00

Brooke and Tom had a perfect, gorgeous fall day for their wedding last weekend and I was so honored to be a part of it!

Their wedding was so personal to the two of them. Though having just met them, I felt like I got a glimpse into the life they share together.

As we were sitting around a few hours before the wedding, while the girls were having their hair and makeup done, Brooke brought up that they had written their own vows to each other. So naturally, her mom and sister asked to hear them. Brooke began reciting them. By the time she was done, there was not one dry eye in the room.......myself included. Not only were the words she chose beautiful, but they were also so full of love. As we later found out in the ceremony, Tom's vows to Brooke were every bit as beautiful!

Congratulations Brooke & Tom! I hope you are enjoying this life you have just begun together.

Here are a few (ok, a lot) from their gorgeous wedding day!

The Wedding of Brooke + Tom

2008-11-06T20:49:00.004-05:00

Brooke and Tom tied the knot last Saturday in Chillicothe, Ohio and I had the privilege of documenting their day.

Please check back soon for the images from their beautiful wedding!!

Until then....

the lovely bride

and the groom

are now one.

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy, SAFE, Halloween!!

Have fun everyone!

ps...that is my FAVORITE halloween candy! yum!

The O'Nan Family

2008-10-29T23:43:00.003-04:00

Last Saturday I met up with the O'Nan family. First at their lovely home and then on to the Jeffrey Mansion to take some family photos and document their sweet little baby girl, Olivia's, first birthday!

We had a beautiful, brisk, fall morning for shooting.

We were chilly at first, complete with pink noses, but then the sun came out and warmed us up!

We hope Olivia had a wonderful first birthday!

Here's your sneak peak! It was so nice to meet you!!

nicole + brett

2008-10-26T23:07:00.003-04:00

The Puhl Family

2008-10-08T19:07:00.002-04:00

I had the pleasure of meeting with the Puhl family over the weekend to take some family photos in a local park.

These two brothers (and mom & dad) were so much fun to photograph!! They made my job super easy by giving me lots of fun, great poses for the photos!!

A big THANK YOU to the Puhls for the opportunity, it was wonderful to meet your family!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Head Shots

2008-10-06T20:42:00.006-04:00

You might remember Shanna from one of my sessions back in May.

Shanna asked me to take some head shots of her for her business cards and other marketing materials, including her website.

Shanna is a wonderful real estate agent in the Columbus area. She comes highly recommended by anyone who has worked with her, so if you're in the market for a new home - give her a call!

Two Dogs

2008-10-06T19:30:00.003-04:00

I thought it was time for a Charlie post. Typical night in our house.

Charlie is sitting on the floor next to me.
In walks Jeff.
Charlie switches from cute and cuddly to ferocious and scary. (not really, but he thinks he is)

In seconds flat he goes from

to

you might think this is two different dogs, but I assure you, it is the same crazy one. :)

Early Fall

2008-10-05T19:26:00.003-04:00

This is my absolute favorite time of year!! I love wearing a light sweater in the chilly mornings, and peeling it off by noon. I love the low sun at 3pm (though I could do without sunset at 7). I'm craving anything pumpkin and I can not wait to go to the local fall festivals!!

It's finally Fall and I love it!

Took these yesterday afternoon...

Busy as a Bee...

2008-09-30T21:52:00.003-04:00

This was one busy summer!!

I realized tonight when sorting through my hard drive, that I took so many photos this summer that I have not even opened up and taken a closer look at. For fun, I went through a few of them tonight, just to see what was there. As soon as I opened this one, I knew I had to blog it.

My camera comes along, on a lot of our Charlie walks and I remember this walk in particular. We were along edge of a wooded area near our house, when I noticed a huge swarm of bees, darting from flower to flower, busily collecting pollen. I stopped and watched them for awhile. I was immediately impressed by how such a creature could spring in to life, intrinsically know its purpose and work without abandon. Sun up to sun down.

Though I know where the old saying "Busy as a bee" comes from, to see it in action makes it so much more interesting, and almost amusing!

Good Morning!

2008-09-26T08:23:00.003-04:00

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon. I still have so many pictures from our trip there, back in March, that I have not opened up and really looked at. I came across this one last night, and decided I had to post it!

What an amazing place to experience!

Happy 40th Anniversary!

2008-09-20T17:39:00.003-04:00

Last weekend, just before the black out surrounded central Ohio, I had the privilege of photographing a 40th Anniversary celebration. We took some group family photos and got a few of the little cousins playing together!

Thank you Susie for the opportunity to photograph your family, it was lovely to meet all of you!!

Happiest Anniversary wishes!!

how fun does this look?!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

2008-09-09T21:34:00.004-04:00

The day after Kelsie's first birthday photos, Jeff and I met my family at Rocky Fork Lake for my Grandma's 92nd Birthday Party.

Growing up, my family and I visited Rocky Fork Lake just about every weekend, especially in the summertime. My grandparents lived there and had a boat on the lake. We would spend the weekends, going for picnics, taking the boat on the lake and going for walks. It is such a beautiful area, and brought back so many great memories from my childhood.

So for Grandma's birthday, we decided to take her back. As a surprise, we rented a pontoon boat for the day and took her for a ride.

She was overjoyed! So were we, to see her out on the lake again.

Happiest Birthday and many more to come, to my beautiful Grandma Dorothy.

Kelsie's First Birthday

Last Sunday, I met up with Kelsie and her family for her one year photos and some family shots too!

We went to a nearby park and then headed back home where Kelsie experienced cupcake frosting for the first time. So cute!

Thank you so much for the opportunity, it was so nice to meet your lovely family.

I hope you enjoy your preview!

and the progression of the cupcake....

Last Saturday, I met up with the Fraziers to take photos of their stylish little girl, Addison. Five minutes with them and I could tell how much joy she brings and what a blessing she is to her parents.

We had a great time hanging out with you and thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful family!

Here are a few of my personal favorites...

What a fantastic weekend we had!!

Saturday morning, I met up with the wonderful Frazier family to capture their adorable daughter's 9 month birthday, as well as take some family photos. Stay tuned for a post on this family!

Then Jeff and I packed up the SUV and headed North to meet a friend of ours for some true camping - complete with s'mores. To me, waking up in the morning is always the best part of camping. The combination of the nighttime sounds and cool air always leaves me feeling refreshed!

I snapped some quick shots this morning of the area where we stayed and want to share them here.

Have a great week everyone and don't forget to check back for photos of the Fraziers.
