You know a family is the real deal when they spend time just laughing together. Those five crazy kids that kept Shelley and Jeff on their toes have grown into a quick-witted and joyful family. Hearing all their funny stories left my heart feeling so full. As I watched them interact, I couldn’t help but […]

I was fighting back the tears behind my camera the entire ceremony. MaKennah and Gabe are truly built on the love they have been surrounded by with their family and friends. It was such a gift to watch Whitney interact with the two of them. Not only photographing the most special day of their lives, […]

Kristen and David are adventurous in the most loving way I’ve ever witnessed. Before I took a single picture, David walked over and picked a flower up off of the ground and placed it in Kristen’s hair. Without a second thought. As if it we weren’t at a photography session. As if, this was how […]

These mini sessions perfectly sum up spring in Ohio. From glowing sun to crazy wind…this is spring. And I love it. I love watching these sweet couples dance in the rain together. I love taking in the beauty of all the plants right as their about to fully bloom. And I can’t write this blog […]

These two are so in love that I’m pretty sure the song I’m Walking On Sunshine just follows them around everywhere. They know how to make each other laugh and they’re committed to making each other smile. As we were walking back to our cars Ashley told me how their wedding day was just 42 […]

As I was leaving this family session my heart was so full. We know that our time with the people that we love goes by too fast but we don’t always take all of the pictures we should and hold onto all of the memories we want to. Cara and Grant are so loved by […]

“I never thought I would find someone that understands my struggles and knows how to help me through them.” When she looked up at his eyes, all of her nerves melted away. With the snow falling all around them, they’ve never felt more at home than they do in this moment. Smiling at each other. […]

January is hard. There’s so much pressure to start fresh and “seize the day.” But honestly I think it’s kind of crap. The second that you slip up perfectionism takes over. Telling you that it’s too late, call off the entire goal, turn around, crawl into bed and never try again. Just because you didn’t […]

He brushed back her bouncy curls and smiled at her. A smile that only she would ever be able to get out of him. Each pearl draped around her neck represented a love. The love that her father and mother shared. The love that their families were uniting in. The love that was being passed […]
