It is such a GIFT to spend time with this family. They are so kind, their humor is on point, and they are beautiful in every single way possible. Our sessions are relaxed and FUN, and I look forward to them always. Thank you for trusting me with your photography, sweet friends!! Side note: I expect Urijah to be 6`5 next year!! βοΈβ¨

Can we take a minute to appreciate fall in Ohio? Despite the love hate relationship I have with the weather of the Midwest, I do so love early fall when it`s still warm but autumn colors have begun to paint the trees and you can SMELL fall in the air.
It was on a perfect night such as this that Eric and I had the pleasure of wandering the beautiful streets of German Village with this amazing family. We had so much fun. I know Amy worries about Penny (their sweet pup) behaving, but Penny is so sweet and attentive every single time. I enjoy every last minute with these beautiful people! Can`t wait for next time!

So many amazing sessions this month alone β these are just a few. I am deeply humbled and grateful to be able to do this for a living β¦ it is far from easy running a business, but itβs worth the long hours behind the scenes! I pour my whole self into every session and care deeply about my clients, most of whom become friends. Love you all!! βοΈβ¨

LUCY β 2027 Senior! βοΈπβ¨
This session was pure magic. Sometimes the stars just align, and this was one of those days. Lucy was a natural, absolutely glowing inside and out, so much fun and super easy going! Her pup Bodie was the sweetest bundle of joy and the perfect sidekick addition to Lucy`s session!! Ohio finally showed up with some gorgeous warm weather and glowy golden light. We had wonderful "glowies and sparklies" β IYKYK.
Lucy, you`re going to do such amazing things. Your heart for nursing and to help people is going to carry you so very far. Enjoy the heck out of your senior year!!!
So grateful that I get to hang out with amazing people like Lucy and Lynnly and do this every weekend.
So. Grateful.

It truly feels like just yesterday that I was taking photos of this sweet little guy when he was 2 weeks old.
I blink and my own children are so much older, but this feeling is magnified times a hundred when I see my clients after 6 months or a year! Little Oliver is the sweetest, most chill one year old who adores his big sister Cora! Watching him dig into the cake (especially after big sis helped to show him what to do) was hilarious and so much fun! Thank you L fam for another WONDERFUL session β I truly enjoy every single moment I get to spend with all of you! So glad we waited for this gorgeous day after all the rain!!

MADILYN β 2027 Senior! βοΈπβ¨
I think this was the one evening out of a two week block that we had gorgeous light and no rain! Rest assured, we took advantage of it β what a perfect shoot to have on such a wonderful night! Madilyn is amazing, beautiful inside and out. She`s wonderfully easy going, kind and down to earth, and super comfortable in front of the camera! We had such a fantastic time. Here`s to more gorgeous nights for sessions like this! (Hear that, Ohio?!)

Tell me Iβm wrong!!! The struggle is real. This summer and start of fall have been one of the craziest weather rollercoasters weβve had to navigate for awhile. I truly agonize over every rescheduling. I hate doing it. I usually wait until the last moment and leave it up to the client to move forward with shooting unless we have severe storm warnings or itβs truly pouring at our location. I really want the session to be relaxed with the best chance of beautiful photos! Sometimes the weather throws us curveballs and we roll with it! Never a dull moment!! Just know that Iβm thinking through all of the details. If the storm passes but itβs still sopping wet on the ground and the surfaces/structures at our location, we may have wet shoes, mud and sludge on clothing, hair wilting and makeup running, etc. Sometimes itβs still best to reschedule. Sometimes itβs fine!! Thanks to all of you wonderful people for bearing with your poor local photographers who are trying to make the best call. π€£π€ͺπ«£βοΈ

KAI β 2027 Senior!! πβ¨
Photos with Kai were so relaxed and fun. Why? Kai is cool. But not just coolβ¦ he`s cool, considerate, kind, ambitious, but also laid back and chill which all makes the perfect combination. We had a great time checking out Franklinton β I always find new favorite spots there!
Enjoy your senior year, Kai! Have a blast playing volleyball β this year and through college, and thanks for an amazing session!

Aspen β Class of 2027!! πβ¨
This session, which we`ve been looking forward to and planning for years, was WONDERFUL. And there is no one more deserving than Aspen! She`s the sweetest, most caring soul, simply gorgeous inside and out. It`s been so fun watching her grow up through my lens (from at least 10 years ago after I met her amazing mom while painting her furniture!!!). The world needs more humans like Aspen. The fact that she is going into early childhood education is PERFECT β it`s a calling that is a gift to the world. Thank you for trusting me with her senior photos, Erin! It`s always such a joy working with you!!! Keep doing amazing things Aspen, and enjoy the heck out of your senior year!!

Olivia β Class of 2027!!
We are all born to do something uniquely meant for us. Some of us know from an early age, while some of us have no idea what we`re doing until age 30 or later (yep, that was me). Olivia has long had a passion for singing, acting, and musical theater and you can just see it in her confidence, the natural way she carries herself, and the passion that beams on her face as she talks about it! Just gorgeous inside and out. It was so much fun to capture her senior photos and watch her inner thespian shine.
Olivia, I can`t wait to see the amazing things you do. Keep shining, always!!

We started Ryan`s senior session at the pool last month, and finished up at the park on a day that the rain finally gave us a break! Ryan has such an easy going, good natured presence and I so enjoyed hanging out with him! You`d never guess that the mosquitos were fierce β Ryan was such a good sport.
Enjoy your senior year Ryan! You have a wonderful bright future ahead!!

Sometimes Ohio gives us crazy weather. As photographers, we learn to play close attention and roll with it one way or the other. After torrential rains forced us to reschedule, we ended up with a perfect night for beautiful Briannaβs senior photos! This is another one that makes me emotional β one of Audreyβs besties that weβve known since her birth and watched grow into a gorgeous, wonderful young woman. I still donβt understand how any of this is possible. But I DO know how much joy it brought me to capture these photos πππ₯°π₯° Enjoy your senior year, sweet girl! I cannot wait to see what wonderful things you do in the next chapter!!

POV: you canβt stop giggling even though you have to do multiple head swaps for your own family photos. π€£
He makes me laugh β and I mean, tear-wiping, gasping belly laughs β so often, and itβs one of the things I love most about us. Day to day life can be lovely, sunny, fun, and exciting, but it can also hard, trying, discouraging, painful, challenging, and exhausting, and being able to laugh until you cry is a gift. Itβs a release. Itβs healing. It really is. I donβt take it lightly. Thanks for keeping me laughing β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

It was so much fun capturing this beauty in my lens! She shares a name with my Elliana, which was so special to me β it`s even spelled the same way! My Ellie and I were so tickled by that.
I was so grateful for an open night on my schedule and the perfect weather to wrap up Ellie`s senior year before she headed off to college. We had such a fun evening β I so loved her laid back, down to earth, joyful presence. And what an amazing, bright future lays before her as a gymnast and a pre med student!! You are GOING PLACES, girl. Enjoy college and make sure you text your mom asap. If sheβs anything like me, she is not okay. π π
