Welcome to the FML Photo Design Blog.
My blog is the best place to view recent work, get a glimpse into my thoughts on favorite images, and catch up on news from the FML Photo Design studio. Please check in often for new updates. Your comments are always welcome. Warm Regards...Felicia Lewis
For Bill and Phyllis, it seems like yesterday that their three kids were huddled in this wagon. A few years and 9 grandchildren later, the blessings in their life have multiplied. Their beautiful family gets together every couple of years to record how big the kids are and how young the adults look. Thanks to all for including me in your tradition!
The evening light at the end of last week was spectacular and Hinckley Lake has much to offer in terms of settings. Payton and Riley were happy to let me capture some awesome images of them and their family at dusk. I love the look of sunlight streaming through the trees and onto the tiny fashionistas.
This one should be titled, “High Five Gone Wild.”
As an aside, Payton and Riley are my son’s buddies. When I was putting the images together for this post, he wanted to know why he was not in their photos…while he does have good taste in women, it will be some time before he can sneak into their family photos.
In honor of Jane’s 60th Birthday, her family designed a four day extravaganza of fun events to celebrate Jane. I felt honored to be “Day One’s” special event. Watching Jane’s family goof off and enjoy eachother’s company was quite a treat. Jane is lucky to be surrounded by so much genuine affection. Happy Birthday to you!
Lucy and Rosie are living in NYC and came back to Akron to visit their families and friends. It was a big trip for Lucy, who will be three months old soon. Rosie is a seasoned traveler and taught her little sister all about flying.
I have to say that I am in love with this first image for so many reasons. Lucy is a very happy baby but the little frown has to be one of the most precious “non-smile” expressions I have captured. As our children grow, we tend to forget how the tiny curled lips turn into passionate cries. This is a keeper.
I photographed Noah’s big sister, Ellie, when she was just about 6 months old. Seeing as how the family has expanded, it was a treat to see the new family all together (and I got to see Leo’s giant pink tongue again. That dog makes me laugh!) Noah really wanted to nap but resisted the urge for us. Such a good boy! Congratulations on the new addition!
Kenton was welcomed to the world just 18 days ago. We woke him up for his first modeling session…and then he promptly fell asleep when he had enough. This little man has a thousand entertaining expressions. Congratulations to Miryn and Kyle!
I met Zachary about two years ago for his one year photos. During this visit, I had the opportunity to meet his cute-as-a-button-smiley sister, Abby. The favorite photo spot for the day was the top of the slide.
One of my favorites of the day…Abby had finished (sort of) all of her cheerios and was playing peek-a-boo with me.
Shannon, Matthew and Aleah are counting down the days until the newest member of their family makes his appearance. Aleah loves to talk about her baby brother and all of the fun things that they are going to play together. Any day now…
07.24.10 Akron, OH
Wedding Ceremony: First Congregational Church of Akron
Reception: LaPizzaria Ristorante and Banquet Center
Bride’s Gown: Maggie Sottero
Decor/Flowers: The Budding Tree
Cake: Marty Draime (Mother of the Bride)
Molly & Andy will look back on their beautiful wedding day and remember the wonderful family and friends that made their day so special…not the HOT temperatures and gale force winds (hopefully.) I have to say that their ceremony was unique in that I have never heard a reference to “Corn Hole” in a homily before. (The pastor is doing corn hole charades in the photo below.) All in all, it was a very heartfelt and genuinely fun day for two people who are obviously deeply in love. Congrats to Molly & Andy!
Watching Jack and Zach grow into little men has meant that with each session, we can do more and more in terms of fun and location. For this session, we stopped at a fun little park in Bath and played with the new stuffed animals that the boys received as birthday presents. (These two are growing like weeds.) We ended the session with a little squirt gun fun. (Mom won.)
