Hi and welcome to my blog! My name is Marci Yochum and I am a professional custom portrait and commercial photographer living in Cincinnati, Ohio. I absolutely love what I do and am very passionate about photography. My blog is a place where I get to share a little about what goes on behind my camera both professionally and personally. I will post sneak peaks from my recent sessions, announce new product offerings, limited time offers and more. I will also share random thoughts often much to do about nothing from my journey as a wife and a full time mother of two beautiful children who are the loves of my life and my inspiration.
In my photography I truly try to capture the simple (love of detail), lifestyle (candid), and the art (making the everyday..extraordinary) of you. If you would like to see more of my work please visit my portfolio at Marci Yochum Photography.
Thanks for stopping by and come back as often as you like.
Marci

This was my first senior session and did I luck out or what? This senior girl has the best hair EVER and a beautiful smile and personality to go along with it. I had so much fun that I decided to dedicate an entire website to SENIORS. I will lauching this site in the next week or so in the meantime if you are a Senior or know of someone who is going to be a Senior this year..call me! Here are just a few favorites of mine from our session:
The majority of my clients are now wanting to purchase the digital files from their session in lieu of or in addition to purchasing prints and speciality items. As a mother of two children I certainly understand the need to possess every image taken of my children. When going through my own personal image files I realized that I haven’t and can not bring myself to delete any images of my children including the ones where their eyes are closed. Okay so that is a little over the top but I want to at least give my clients the opportunity to have all their session images as well. I have gone back and forth with the decision to give up 100% control of my images and was was recently touched and inspired by a fellow photographer who shared her story with me of loosing her child at one week of age. As if that was not tragic enough she had her computer stolen and she was left with just a few printed images of her child. Childhood is fleeting and I don’t want anyone to have to close their eyes and try to remember what their child looked like.
Here are the some other benefits to purchasing digital files as well:
Do-it-yourself print-print unlimited copies of all your images for yourself and family whenever you wish
Scrapbooking and card making-print your own Christmas and birth announcements
Peace of mind-digitally archive images and place in safety deposit box
Online sharing-images can be shared via internet, blog and emails with family and friends
So to make a long story short I will be offering a Digital file package with a DVD containing ALL full resolution digital files. The digital file package also includes one white bordered 5×7 print of every image in your gallery presented in a handcrafted personalized, silk image box. I just ordered one for myself (they are so awesome) and I will post pictures of this along with some of my other product offerings in the next several weeks. Please contact me for pricing and details.
I am having a Matilda Jane Fall Trunk Show! This is a perfect time to pick up an item or two for a fall photo session or for back to school.

Had a fun urban session over the weekend. It was one of those hot and muggy summer days we all try to avoid being outdoors on too. Here are a few of my favs that I managed to capture inbetween dodging the cars in the alley. Yep that’s right just as we got the shot set up a car would come and we would have to run off to the side and do it again and sometimes again. This family was such good sports. Thanks “Y” family.
So I took my little girl out for another Matilda Jane spotlight of the Betsy dress. When we got home and looked at the images she thought she looked just like “Kit” from the American Girl Movie. She was so excited, I don’t think I will ever have to plead with her to wear this hat again. So cute and girly.
I don’t usually get to photograph many “big people” especially couples since I don’t do weddings. So when this cute couple called I jumped at the chance. They were up for anything and we had a fun little mini-session. Thanks A and B and congratulations on your 3 years of marriage!
I just got back from spending the weekend in New York with my husband. I of course did not travel without my little companion…my camera. I have only been to New York twice before and wanted to try my hand at landscape photography. Central park is just so charming to me with the horse drawn carriages, canoes, and bridges tucked right inside the “big city”. Love it. My husband jokes that I photographed everything except a homeless person and trash. Haven’t been through all my files yet so we will see. Ha. I am so use to photographing people that this was really challenging for me. The urban backdrops were just so perfect if only I had a “subject”. I kept wanting to grab random children off the streets but decided that wasn’t such a good idea. Anyway, I came back with a better appreciation for landscape photography and an even greater love for what I do..photographing people!
