Over 3 years ago, I photographed Kari + Chris’s surprise proposal on the Ohio State campus! Last month they welcomed baby Rowan and invited to me their Victorian Village home to capture their first portraits together as a little family. They have such a beautiful home, full of neutral colors and lots of natural light…
Can you believe I used to babysit for Jordan back in our hometown of Cleveland? Almost 20 years ago in fact! Jordan now lives in Orlando, newly engaged to Julie, and my recent trip to Florida just happened to coincide with his engagement party in Miami. So the stars aligned for us to get together…
Last month I traveled down to Fort Lauderdale to photograph an engagement session for one of my 2019 wedding couples, and while I was there I photographed a family session for my friends who live there now! Stacey and I have been friends for over 20 years, and I’ve photographed her family so much since…
Last month I had the opportunity to travel down to southern Florida for Kayla and Sara’s engagement! I’m photographing their wedding later this summer in Hermitage PA (just outside Youngstown), but they currently live in Delray Beach, Florida where Kayla goes to graduate school. It was the perfect getaway from the cold Ohio winter! As…
My last wedding of 2018, what a perfect way to end the year! This wedding also happened to be my 200th career wedding! Alyssa + Tom’s downtown Columbus wedding centered around their venue, the Westin Columbus Downtown hotel, where I began my day with the girls getting ready in their suite that first Saturday in…
Tala + Raffi tied the knot outside the country, but returned to Tala’s hometown for a local celebration with their Ohio family and friends. I joined them on a Sunday evening in late December for a couple of hours to document their Persian ceremony and a bit of their dinner party reception at Copious Restaurant…
This engagement session was pretty much a dream for me all-around! Snowy winter portraits plus bubble tea – these are essentially two of my favorite things! For the first portion of our session, Alita and Joel took me to a mountain-top location in Lancaster, Ohio I never knew existed before: Rising Park. It was a…
I couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic couple for this Columbus Zoo wedding – they completely embraced the day exactly as it came! Many couples obsess over the details and the weather forecast, but Amanda and Jon accepted the inevitable misty day, and went forward with an outdoor ceremony regardless! Getting ready separately –…
In the month of December, I had the opportunity to reconnect with 3 of my past wedding clients, as they all welcomed their first babies and invited me to capture their first portraits! It had been a few years since I’d photographed Marissa + Alex’s August 2015 wedding in downtown Columbus, and I didn’t have to go…
Two weeks ago today, I hosted my first ever round of snowy micro sessions on a VERY snowy Saturday afternoon at my home! I saw the forecast earlier in the week and decided to go for it, and I’m so glad I did, and even more glad that so many folks took me up on…
