Chantel: It's been awhile since I've cruised(my apologies) but I see you've done exactly what I could see awhile ago-----EXCELLED beyond expectations! And you just continue to do wonders through the eye of a lens. You can see not only the impressive effort but LOVE that comes through as well. Simply---gorgeous!
Your pictures are still the most imaginative, personal, fun, heart warming and most beautiful visions I know. (those images of World Trade Center were especially moving to me).

And those children are beautiful too!

All the best--still--and always...DD

Just watched the video and looked at the pictures from John and Hilary's wedding. I love that you used the music of a local band and your pictures capture the energy and love of the day. The picture of the wedding party in the arches is classic. Love, Love, Love that one.

Jane (One of Barb's friends)

Wow Chantal!! I just viewed Hilary and John's wedding...wonderful pics and I really enjoyed the music and pictures on the slideshow. We can't wait for the rest.

Thank you for making picture taking such a fun and relaxing time...we enjoyed your approach and personality.
THANK YOU,
Hilary's Mom,
Barbara

Hey, Chantal! Glad to see that you are still in business and going strong. Miss you over at the blog! I'm still intending to get to Ohio to meet you! :-) I hope that all is well with you and yours.

I love seeing all the beautiful couple you have captured!! Cant wait to see how our pics turned out and cant wait for the WEDDING!! I'll try to work on my "sexy smile" vs. my "ear to ear smile" (:

I love the NYC photos (and all your others of course) and especially the slide show. My husband and I were there last spring and had a wonderful time. I had always dreamed of going there (and maybe even living there), so it was truly a dream come true to finally be there. I give Alonna and Jarrod credit for unabashadly posing anywhere and everywhere. I'm not sure I would have had the courage to do that, but it's hardly an unusual thing, esp. in NYC where you see things you definitely wouldn't see back here in Columbus!

Keep up the good work and I really enjoy your blogs.

Just continue to love your work every time I come back. You just continue to grow and make your work(if you really call it that:)) so inviting, engaging and so full of love. Keep it up and one day girl, Imma be calling you---for me!!!

Christie just showed me how to see your blog. I was so impressed when I saw the wonderful photographs of Ethan & Alexandria and I met you when she asked you to take the ones of the Kate Waldron Memorial 5K run. As an 83 year old artist I was very impressed with your sense of design, but your wonderful way of thinking and caring must be what inspires you. God bless you.

Thought I would drop in and as usual all is as I expected, Wonderful as ever here!! Blog, site, family, photos--all seem to be doing well. You'll get your "writing groove' back. Sometimes you got to just sit back and allow the 'flow' to hit you. It will, I am confident in that. Continued success in all you do!

Love Katie and Chris' photos! What a beautiful couple!! I'm Katie's aunt and I had a wonderful time at the wedding

Hi Chantal

My name is Kevin Gillespie. We are friends on Facebook. I am just emailing to tell you that I am wondering around your website. I like your donation idea. Its a brilliant idea at this time of year especially.

I wonder whether this email would count towards a donation.

Yours Sincerely

Kevin Gillespie

I am always so amazed each time I visit your website!!! It seems like yesterday (although it's been several years...!!) during my short visit that you talked about your dream to be a professional photographer. You did it...!! I'm very proud of you because I know what it takes to overcome obstacles and "live your dream". Your dedication, commitment, maturity, and desire to "capture the beautiful moment" have laid the groundwork for you to be a phenomenal photographer. I'm sure the best is yet to come.

Your brother,
Leonard

What can I say You are truly talented and gifted. I am very proud of you.
You are accomplishing everything you wanted in life and it shows in your
pictures. I Love You

Your big sis J

Hey Chantal, I haven't checked in for ages and now I see you're busier than ever. Wow...weddings! The shots are amazing, but I don't envy the pressure. At least with a corporate shoot if something drastic happens you can always reshoot it the next day... you only get one shot with weddings!!!
Keep it up, it look great.
Matt

Your blog is beautiful. Have so much fun on your vacation.

One of the best sites I visit. You see so much romance, sensuality, love and togetherness in all Chantal's photos. She truly is gifted and loves what she does. How fortunate and blessed you are girl, to do something each and every day, that you LOVE and so talented for!! Congratulations!!

PS: beautiful family too!

Hello!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the Lake Michigain pics, just beautiful. Great work!! See you soon!

We're keeping an eye on your blog for new pics! I liked your father's day post...I always let that day go by without thought because my dad is gone, but I can't wait to celebrate with Michael one day when we have kids! We'll be thinking of your family in the coming weeks.

just saw the photos you did of Rick and Erin's wedding. EXCELLENT WORK! I'm the father of the bride and you even made ME look good!

Just had to tell you that I love the new blog format! And I have to say, I am pretty partial to your header photos. :) LOVE THEM!

Hi! Saw your tweet on Twitter and had to peek at your blog. Glad I did. Great photos!

I'm getting into the bridal industry (I make flowers from ribbons for fashion accessories), so it's really wonderful for me to be able to see work by wedding photographers.

Good luck with your new blog.
