This family, I love them!  I looked forward to seeing this crew each and every year!  It is so fun to look back at just how much these three have changed since last year.  This year we ventured out to the gorgeous town of Grand Rapids on a warm Sunday afternoon!  We strolled around enjoying the fall colors as we looked for just the right spot for each kiddo, talking about dinner the night before, staying dry and not jumping into the water, and the yummy smells coming from each shop and restaurant we passed!  Before we knew it the sun was starting to lower in the west and our tummies were rumbling!  Thank you Grooms Family for a wonderful Sunday!!!

October weather was still gorgeous here in Ohio this last weekend, however today it is raining!  I was honored to spend part of my Sunday with this beautiful family as they gathered to celebrate a wonderful birthday!  The Stehulak Family gathered at Nancy & Carl’s and the day was filled with kids of all ages, from Carl’s mom, uncle, and siblings, to Nancy & Carl’s kids and grand kids; so many happy smiles from all of them!  The young ones did amazing too!  Thank you Stehulak Family for a great afternoon, hoping you all had a wonderful birthday celebration and enjoyed the warm fall day!

I got to cuddle and hang out with this sweet little guy and his mom and day this last Sunday!  Ohio fall weather has been a little different this year, warm and in the 80’s one day and then cold and rainy in the 50’s the next.  So instead of an outdoor session, we stayed inside and brought a little of the outside in with us!  I was honored to take this little guy’s mom and dad’s maternity session this last summer and was so excited to hear of his arrival in July!  He was such a happy little guy, kicking and smiling, and ready to carpet farm!  With such a cute personality already, he’ll have his mom and dad on their toes in no time!  Congrats Justin & Ashley!

On October 7, Dailyn & Logan tied the knot at the Williams Co. Fairgrounds Bridge!  I was honored to put their wedding programs together for their guests!  They opted for a tall, thin, two sided design with their ceremony on the front and their wedding party and thank you’s on the back!  A bold black text color printed on a gorgeous kraft paper made for the perfect addition to their already beautiful ceremony!  What a beautiful fall day they had, Congratulations Dailyn & Logan!

Saturday I headed out to Goll Woods to join this fun loving family for their session!  We had a beautiful, warm fall day to capture all of them, and their antics!  We ventured just a little ways into the woods and off the beaten path for some great spots and beautiful fall colors!  The little one kept us on our toes and made sure we were moving along and when we weren’t, she was sure to get Great Grandma moving in the right direction and borrowed her chair for a much needed break!  Thank you Reeb Family for a wonderful afternoon, some great jokes, and I can’t wait to capture all of you again!

Last Sunday I got to spend a beautiful day out at Oak Openings with this wonderful family!  It was great to get together with Aaron and Natalie again and meet their two beautiful pups!  Loki and Daisy were so sweet and did so well, even with all the people that were out and about that day!  We decided to take off  down some trails to find some beautiful spots and around ever turn and bend, it was just gorgeous!  The colors are just beginning to turn and the smell of the evergreens made it the perfect fall setting!  Loki loved it so much he had to get up close with Natalie to share his excitement and Daisy was on a mission to fine the perfect spots!  Thank you Burkhardt Family for a wonderful afternoon, happy anniversary a little early too!

Fall, the smell of falling leaves, cool rains, pumpkins, mums, it’s my favorite time of the year! October also means it’s Archbold High School & Ridgeville High School Alumni Band night! I am honored to be able to capture this evening each year, to see faces I don’t see often, catch up with them, and reminisce! What started out as a rainy morning and afternoon, turned into a gorgeous night for everyone. Events are such a fun thing to capture, you never know what’s going to happen, a drummer could break out into dancing to James Brown or the flag girls could lift trumpet player! A huge thank you to all involved for making this evening happen for the Alumni, the 2017 AHS Marching Band, the speaker Mr. Hoverman, current AHS Band Director Beth Voll & her amazing staff, it was a fun night to be a part of! Looking forward to next year already! Go Streaks & Falcons!

What a wonderful session last Saturday to kick off the fall season!  The leaves are beginning to change, however it’s been unseasonably hot and humid, weather that we would normally see in July and August!  Despite the heat I spent a wonderful Saturday evening with Tyler & Olivia!  We started out at a beautiful location in the country and then headed downtown to use the wonderful old brick buildings, all the while staying in the shade to keep cool.  Now that fall is here, that also means football season, and we couldn’t do a fall session without including some shots in their favorite team colors!  With so many wonderful images from the session, it was hard to find just a few sneak peeks to share.  Thank you for a great evening, Congrats Tyler & Olivia!

Almost a year ago this wonderful couple said I do, and when Melissa mentioned doing 1 year anniversary pictures, she asked if we could do them a little differently!  Of course!  Instead of a one year anniversary session, Brian & Melissa are proud to announce that they are expecting a little “shooter” this coming March!  Of course when shooting an announcement session, it usually means that very few people know and that I have to keep a huge secret; so if I happen to run into their family or friends, means I can’t give the secret away!  I’m so glad Melissa’s mom knew when I ran into her at the fair and was the one to bring it up!  ;o)  We spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon exploring one of Brian’s family’s woods in search of the perfect spots!  I had just as much fun capturing them Saturday as I did the day of their wedding, even if there were just a few more mosquitoes!  I’m so excited for these two and can’t wait for their maternity session, capturing that beautiful baby bump!  Congrats Brian & Melissa, I can’t wait to meet the little “shooter!”

Hunting season is right around the corner!  The leaves will be turning, the air will be cooling, and hunters will be itching to get in the woods!  I was beyond excited when Jeremy came to me wanting to create this logo for his non profit organization; he brought a great logo that was previously created and it compliments the soldiers and flag logo perfectly!  Patriot Outdoors Hunting is a non profit organization that helps American service men and women after their time in the service and on the battle field has come to a close.  They help these heroes in a multitude of different ways, just one of them being through using the beauty of nature and the great outdoors.  A huge thank you to the great men and women of this country whom have given and are giving to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today!  Thank you Jeremy for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of this amazing organization!
