Austin & Brittney and their sweet kiddos mean the world to me, and I know for a fact that there are many people in their lives who feel the exact same way I do. I first met them when I photographed their engagment/wedding photos 7/8 years ago, and the minute you get to know them, you instantly fall in love with them. Over the years, I've been able to photograph different sessions for them and their extended families (& I've even asked if I could be adopted into the their f

We literally got hit with raindrops just as we were getting ready to start their session, and the thought was to try and get even just a handfull of pics before calling it quits. But then the rain stopped, and so we kept going. Every few minutes, the sprinkles would start again, but they were such troopers. Darting under the umbrella or a thick overhanging tree to avoid getting too wet . . . then venturing back out for a few more shots. By the time we finished, we had a F

Her first year has just flown by, and she is the sweetest little birthday girl. She wasn't too sure about me at first, but she warmed up as the session went by, and ended up LOVING having a cake to eat all by herself . . . that is, until her brothers joined in at the end. Her face in the one photo has me cracking up, because she does not look impressed that Cole was helping himself :). Here is some of the cuteness from Meredith's birthday gallery

Kylie is my sweet niece, and she & Matthew recently got engaged while they were wrapping up their time at a discipleship program here in Ohio. So, with them living close by, I had the privilege of being their photographer before they head back to their home states of Iowa & Alaska for the summer months while planning for their wedding. We ended up with a gorgeous evening, and plenty of sunshine . . . these two made my job so easy, and here are some of my favorites from

Ohio has given us some gorgeous winter weather this year, and even though the snow has often been coupled with COLD, Rhianna braved the chilly temps for her winter maternity session. The snowy backdrop was perfect for this gorgeous momma-to-be's photos, and we worked as fast as we could to grab lots of photos in a short amount of time.

The golden fall lighting and this meadow were the perfect backdrop for my session with the Wachtel family. Their sweet kiddos are growing so fast, and are just as cute as can be. Here are some of my favorites from this adorable little family

This young lady is just a ray of sunshine, and was such a sweet Senior to photograph. She wanted a mix of cityscape with trees/greenery so we started out in downtown Wooster, and then finished up at various places around the OARDC gardens. Here are some of my favorites from Samantha's gallery

They are such a sweet family, and the boys were soooo cooperative for photos . . . seriously, so much cuteness to share from the Berger family. Here are some of my favorites!

These fall evenings filled with all of my sweet client families make this season so much fun. My job photographing the Mesenger family could not have been easier, and I didn't have to work at all to capture all of the sweet smiles and love that are a part of this crew. Here are some of my favorites from their gallery

He was the sweetest little model for the camera at his milestone session. He tried to play shy at the start, but it didn't take long for the smiles to come out and his gallery is full of so much cuteness

I love it when a Senior has some ideas for session locations or ways to incorporate a hobby or interest into his photos. Mason wanted to meet up at the Wayne County airport, where he is currently taking lessons to become a pilot. The staff there were so gracious to pull this airplane out of the hangar so we could use it for photos! From there, we headed to the College of Wooster to get some "non-airplane" photos, and I have loads of favorites from his gallery

Ray & Eva have the SWEETEST family, and even at the end of the session, everyone was still smiling and having fun . . . they really made my job so easy, and here are some of my favorites from their gallery

We had such a fun evening with John & Emily and their adorable kiddos . . . it's starting to look like fall, and the crunch of leaves mixed with the glowy autumn light made for the perfect backdrop. Here are some of my favorites from this sweet family

This young man was such a fun & easy one to photograph . . . I wanted to go back into my archives and see if I could pull out a photo that I took of him when he was probably 8 or 9, but I decided to just share current photos instead (he's probably going to be grateful :) Goodness, time flies though, and I can't believe that he's already heading through his final year of high school.

Rain clouds were threatening and the thunder was rumbling towards us, but we decided to photograph as long as we could, in hopes of getting at least part of her session done. But God. He rerouted those storms right around us, and we ended up with only a few rain drops all evening. The sun peeked out, giving us a beautiful glowy light, and this gorgeous young lady was such a sweet model to photograph. I wish Maddy Kate all the best as she wraps up her Senior year at Norwa

Such a gorgeous young lady, inside and out . . . she was so much fun to have in front of my camera. Kylie wanted to have both a downtown vibe and some florals, so we started out in the streets of Orrville and then ended up at the gardens in Wooster. Way too many favorites from her session, so enjoy the sharing overload!

There is so much personality in this little girl, and I loved being able to photograph Daisy's birthday session at the OARDC gardens . . . we had plenty of places to roam, and we even found a patch of daisies

We were supposed to photograph this gorgeous family several months ago, but we had several rainy days that made us keep rescheduling . . . we finally ended up with a beautiful summer evening

There are TWO babies snuggling inside of her adorable baby bump, and the best part? Josh & Heidi are waiting to be surprised at birth to find out whether the identical

She was the happiest little girl for her birthday photos, and gave us so many sweet grins and silly little epxressions the whole time I had my camera out.
