For Brok’s back-to-school photo session, we headed to Defiance College, one of our local college campuses. That morning, we woke up to a light snowfall — an unexpected surprise that turned the day into something extra special. Instead of postponing, we bundled up and made the most of it!

Even with the chill in the air, the session was full of laughter and energy. The beautiful campus provided a wonderful mix of indoor and outdoor backdrops — from the cozy hallways inside to the open walkways dusted with snow outside. The snow added a soft, storybook feel that perfectly matched the excitement of a new school year.

Brok has grown so much since last year’s session — it’s hard to believe he’s officially taller than me now! It’s always such a joy to see returning families and to capture these milestones as kids grow and change year after year. Despite the cold, he brought his usual confidence and charm to every shot, making this session one to remember!

Some senior sessions are full of energy and creativity right from the start — and Tracey’s was exactly that. A Tinora High School senior with incredible talent and ambition, Tracey’s session beautifully showcased her love of music and her connection to the fairgrounds she’s called home for so many years.  Despite a thick blanket of clouds and a light drizzle, Tracey didn’t let the weather dampen her spirit. In fact, the soft overcast sky created the most beautiful, even light — proving that sometimes a cloudy day can make for the perfect photo session.

We began her session at the Henry County Fairgrounds, a place filled with meaning and memories. The soft evening light filtered through the horse barn, creating the perfect rustic backdrop for her portraits. Surrounded by the charm of the fairgrounds — from the weathered wood of the barn to the quiet grand stand — Tracey’s session had that timeless, down-to-earth feel that perfectly reflected her personality.

While she didn’t bring her horse along, Tracey made sure her other passion took center stage — music. She arrived with an impressive lineup of instruments: her trumpet, mellophone, and two French horns. Each instrument told a piece of her story, representing the dedication, discipline, and joy she’s poured into her years as a musician.

After capturing a variety of portraits around the fairgrounds, we headed to Tinora High School for the second half of her session. The school setting provided a meaningful backdrop as Tracey prepares for her next big step — continuing her musical journey at Youngstown State University, where she plans to major in music.

Tracey’s session was the perfect reflection of who she is: talented, driven, and full of quiet confidence. Photographing her surrounded by the places and passions that define her made every image feel personal and authentic — exactly what senior photography should be.

✨ Congratulations, Tracey! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish as you pursue your music degree at Youngstown State.

Tyler, a proud Liberty Center High School senior, added a sportography session to his senior experience — and it couldn’t have been more fitting. We headed to the LCHS football field and field house to capture his passion for the game and the place where he’s spent countless hours training, playing, and building memories.

The late afternoon light gave the field a golden glow, setting the stage for some dramatic, high-impact portraits. From shots on the turf to more moody, artistic images in the field house, we captured both the strength and the spirit behind Tyler’s athletic journey.

Not only is Tyler a senior stepping confidently into his next chapter, but he’s also a young man we’ve had the pleasure of knowing since he was little. Watching him grow up — and now getting to document this milestone — made his session especially meaningful for us.

Tyler’s sportography session was the perfect complement to his traditional senior portraits, bringing together personality, passion, and pride.

Congratulations, Tyler, on your senior year at LCHS! We’re so proud of the young man you’ve become and can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

Senior year is such an exciting milestone — full of “lasts,” but also so many new beginnings. This was Macy’s second half of her senior photos, and we were thrilled to capture even more of her personality and style this time around!

We started our afternoon in Grand Rapids, Ohio, where the charm of the small town made for the perfect backdrop. From rustic brick walls to cozy storefronts, her natural confidence and laughter brought her images to life. The fall colors along the streets added such a warm, timeless glow to her portraits and the low water level allowed for some fun images in the river!

After exploring Grand Rapids, we headed back to Napoleon, to finish her session in some of her favorite local spots.

This second session felt like the perfect continuation of her senior story — relaxed, joyful, and full of adventure. We love when seniors choose to do a follow-up session; it gives us a chance to capture more of who they are as they head into their next chapter.

Congratulations, Macy — we can’t wait to see all that your senior year brings!

As the leaves are turning and we still have unseasonably warm weather, we had the joy of photographing one of our favorite returning families for their annual session, the Grooms Family. We’ve worked together for several years now, and each fall brings not just a beautiful backdrop — but a reminder of how much has changes in a short year.

The kids have grown so much since last year. It’s always amazing to see how their personalities continue to blossom — more confident and more themselves. Capturing those in-between moments, the quick glances and inside jokes, is what makes these sessions so special.

This year, we had the perfect fall day. Soft sunlight filtering through the trees, warm tones all around, and a family full of love and laughter. It was the kind of session that makes us so grateful for what we do — not just photographing people, but helping them hold onto these fleeting chapters.

To the families who return year after year: thank you. It’s an honor to grow alongside you and we cherish every session with you!

Gavin’s his senior session brought a little grit, a lot of soul, and just the right amount of edge. Inspired by the spirit of Johnny Cash, this session was all about capturing what makes Gavin unique—his deep love for music and his connection to the outdoors. Set against the backdrop of the high school auditorium and football field, to the golden fields and wooded trails, we incorporated both nature and scenic textures to reflect his grounded, adventurous spirit.

From candid moments with his guitar under the trees to composed portraits with all of his instruments, every shot was designed to showcase not just his style, but his story. His request of a sunset silhouette was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. It’s always an honor to photograph seniors at this exciting crossroads—especially when their passions are so clearly a part of who they are.

Congratulations, Gavin! Your future is looking bright—and in tune!

There’s something incredibly meaningful about photographing life’s milestones—especially when they belong to family. Nate and Anna’s maternity session was held at a location that holds deep significance for our family, making this session even more special. After a day full of baby shower activities on Sunday, Nate & Anna set aside some time that evening for their session, and the weather didn’t disappoint; with a beautiful golden hour and the sky filtered with some clouds, it was a great evening.

Capturing this season of anticipation and love, in a place woven into our shared memories, was such fun. This is one of the reason that we do what we do: to preserve not just moments, but the stories and emotions behind them.  Congratulations Nate & Anna!

We kicked things off last weekend with the beautiful Kenzie and her senior session at a local dam, where the water, natural textures, and soft light gave us the perfect setting for more relaxed, earthy shots. From the very first frame—her smile, her confidence, and her calm energy made it easy to capture her just being her. The surrounding nature gave a timeless feel to the portraits—perfect for marking such an important milestone.

After the dam, we headed downtown to switch things up with an urban vibe. The mix of bridges, old buildings, and city textures offered so much variety in tone and backdrop. Kenzie rocked every look and they all showcased her style and individuality.

Kenzie, thank you (and your family!) for letting us be part of this moment in your journey. We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you!

What a wonderful Saturday evening we had capturing Jace’s senior photos last weekend!  As the pitcher for the Bluestreak baseball team, Jace wanted to highlight his passion for the sport, so we headed to the baseball field after spending some time at a local state park.  It was an exciting and dynamic session, we even braved a few pitches pitches right over our heads to get that perfect shot!  One of our favorite parts of a session is catching those candid moments and genuine smiles when seniors don’t know we are shooting and they are just being themselves, Jace was all smiles and we captured so many wonderful real moments!  Thank you Jace and family for a great evening!  Best of luck in the remainder of your senior year, we look forward to seeing what your future holds!
