Family and Dog-Friendly - Holiday Mini Sessions - Columbus, Ohio

We had so much fun kicking off the holiday season during our Holiday Mini Sessions! A huge thank you to all of our clients and their dogs who attended! It’s always such an honor to capture our clients’ families and their furry companions. Our Holiday Mini Sessions were dog-friendly and specially designed for families, children, couples, and pets. This year we partnered with a local studio space in Grove City, Ohio to set-up 3 unique backdrop options in a dog-friendly, indoor environment. This year’s backdrops included: Snowy Bridge, Holiday Sparkle, and Cozy Christmas. We had a blast working with our clients, their pets, and their children during their sessions and are so pleased with the final images!

Spring Family & Pet Portrait Session - Puppy Dog In-Home Portraits - Columbus, Ohio

I love all dogs, but it’s hard not to melt when meeting a new puppy! I recently had the honor of capturing Yorkie puppy Teeghan and his siblings Piper, Fozzie, and Bennie with their moms, Ashley and Steph. Teeghan had just been welcomed home the week before his portrait session and Ashley wanted to make sure that he got his ‘close-up’ while he was still a young pup! I’m so glad we were able to capture him with my camera when I did, as he’s been growing fast!

It was such a treat to photograph them at their home. In-home sessions are an incredible way of capturing your loved ones somewhere that is special to you and to make a new memory in your home! Pets are a such an important part of the family, and it’s always an honor to capture them as a family member, not just a pet. We made some great photographs of the dogs, as well as with their person.

Reesie and Anya Dog Portrait Session - Studio and Creekside Park and Plaza - Gahanna, Ohio

It’s no secret, pet portraits, especially dog portraits, have a special place in our hearts and we love capturing pets with their people. Last month we had the honor of photographing Anya and her dog Reesie. Reesie is a Beaglier, (a Beagle/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), and is an absolute delight! She was laid back, very sweet, and a natural for the camera, especially if some tasty treats were involved.

Reesie is Anya’s self described “canine soulmate” and it was easy to see the special connection that they both have. Anya has had Reesie since she was 4 months old and will be celebrating Reesie’s 12th birthday this June!

We started their portrait session indoors at our studio before heading to Creekside Park and Plaza in Gahanna for additional photos outdoors. We were able to capture a great blend of studio portraits and also the beautiful winter snowy landscape in Ohio. I loved every second of working with Anya and Reesie and am grateful for the opportunity to meet them and capture the love and bond that they share.

Aaron's Fall High School Senior Portrait Session - Creekside Park & Plaza - Gahanna, Ohio

Fall is a popular season for portraits, including High School Senior Portraits! Class of 2021 High School Senior, Aaron, joined us this past fall for his own senior portrait session. Aaron wanted to capture the outdoors and take advantage of the beautiful fall foliage. We ventured to Creekside Park and Plaza in Gahanna for his session because of the variety of backdrop options all within a short walking distance.

It’s always such an honor to work with High School Seniors and their families as they enter their senior year. Senior year is always an exciting time as they grow from a curious child to an adult with so many aspirations for what lies ahead.They’re one of our favorite things to photograph - it’s often the first time that a person gets to be the full focus of their very own portrait session and a one-of-a-kind experience.

Enjoy some of my favorite photographs from his senior portrait session! We wish Aaron luck as he wraps up his senior year and prepares for his next adventure after high school!

Past wedding clients Sarah and Brian are expecting! Their little one, a baby boy, will be arriving any day now and we could not be more excited for them as their family grows!

They had approached me back in the fall, wanting to capture the them both and the fall leaves during this exciting time. We were so lucky to have such a gorgeous canvas of fall foliage this past year in Ohio and we were able to capture their session on a crisp and beautiful fall day.

The session flowed so smoothly and it felt like it did when I photographed them on their wedding day - Sarah and Brian have a special connection and it was so fun to capture their laughter, smiles, and excitement for this next chapter of their lives together.

School Yearbook Style Portraits - Muschlitz Photography Studio- Gahanna, Ohio

We know how much families treasure having their child’s yearly school portrait. It’s such a neat way to document your child’s growth during their school years, and it is always fun to compare past years’ photos to see just how much they’ve grown! The 2020-2021 school year has been a weird one for many families and with hybrid and virtual schooling options, school portraits have been paused at many schools. But despite the regular school photos being temporarily paused, your kids are still growing!

When I was recently approached by a past client and friend with a request to capture some traditional school portraits of her children and her niece and nephew, I was so excited! Her kids’ schools’ had temporarily paused school portraits, but she wanted to capture them before their next big growth spurt. Muschlitz Photography just recently opened our home studio in Gahanna which is perfect for smaller groups and individuals. We have several backdrop options to choose from, including some of the traditional hand-painted backdrops that are common for head shots or school portraits. It’s a great space to have clients indoors, out of the elements anytime of the year, and is the perfect setting for the school portraits that she had been missing.

Whether you have just one child or multiple, Muschlitz Photography is excited to now offer school yearbook portrait sessions at our home studio in Gahanna. Unlike the normal school portraits held at their school, you can be there to adjust your child’s outfit and hair during the session to help make sure you get the look you want.

During the session, we were able to not only capture all 5 kids individually, but to get photographs of them all together, and each group of siblings together. We were even able to capture some candids! Enjoy some of my favorite photographs from their session!
