Class of 2009.  Meet Josh, he is one of my senior reps at Paul Blazer High School for the class of 2009.  As you can see Josh plays football.  We went to Putnam stadium to take a few pictures.  We finished up at Central Park. Thanks Josh and have fun this year.  To view his entire online gallery click here.

Matt and Brandi met me at Shawnee State Park in Portsmouth, Ohio for their engagement session.  It has been years since I was last out there and it was winter so I had no idea how pretty it really is there.  Wow, the grounds were beautiful and the view from the balconywas breath-taking.  To view their slide show click here.

Savannah and Deuce are getting married in September.  We got together last week on one of the hottest days of the year to do their engagement session in Ritter Park.  We started at the Rose Garden and walked down to the park to finish up.  They were true troopers as it was really hot.  To view their engagement slide show click here.  Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Thank you Deuce and Savannah for enduring the heat to make some beautiful pictures.  I can’t wait for you wedding.

Danny and Bethany were married this past weeken.   It was a very nice day.  Rain threatened but passed us.  Bethany was glad.  We were able to go to Paul Porter Park in Coal Grove, Ohio for a few shots outside.  Bethany had a great exit planned for them at the end of the reception.  She had sparklers.  It was really cool.  I had a little help on this one.  A friend, Michelle Ruby, joined me to watch and assist me.  She was able to grab a couple of nice images.  Thanks Michelle.  To view their preview slide show click here.  Here are a few of my favorites from their day.

Gracie and Shelby

Gracie turned one this year.  She came in for her one year portraits and brought her big sister Shelby along with her.  What a cutie.  To view their online gallery click here. Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Andy and Stacey were married June 28, 2008.  I had a great time spending the day with their families and friends.  I am not sure if I have laughed so much at a wedding before and I tend to have fun at all of my weddings and laugh when something is funny.  But their brothers were true comedians.  They decorated Andy’s car and then when they found out we were actually going to use Stacey’s to take pictures after the reception they decorated hers as well.  To view their preview slide show click here. Here are a few of my favorites.

Thank you Stacey and Andy for making me a part of your day.  Have fun on your honeymoon.

Tim Eding: Teresa, What a wonderful job with those pictures. The slide show was fantastic--I cry each time at the ones where you photographing Stacey coming behind Andy when they saw each other for the first time. I had told Andy that I was against their seeing each other before the ceremony but the way you did it and the way you captured the moment was perfect. It was tough being the minister and the father of the groom. I wouldn't change a thing though, not many dads get to share in his boys wedding like that. You really hit the nail on the head about the boys being comedians though. Those brothers never met before the rehearsal and they interacted as if they knew each other all their lives. I couldn't help but notice how the Doss family and the Eding family all lined up with such similar personalities. Andy and Stacey as the middle kids certainly had their hands full growing up. Again, thanks for the wonderful job of capturing the wedding. Blessings to you and your wonderful gift of photography. Pastor Tim Eding
