Baby shower’s have long been a staple in welcoming a little one!  However, the last few years has seen a rise in Diaper Parties!  Normally with a package of diapers as the gift of choice.  While the ladies are showering the Mama-to-be, the gentlemen are now honoring the Dad-to-be!  Anything from BBQ’s to brewery tours, the sky has become the limit!  Justin’s friends will be joining him on June 3 for an evening out, while his wife, Ashley, enjoy’s her baby shower that day!  Have a great time gentlemen!

Northwest Ohio weather has been unpredictable at best this spring, but last Friday we had a gorgeous day out to capture this beautiful family!  We headed out to Lauber Tree Farm to borrow their beautiful old barn and trees!  Our session was filled with exuberant giggles, dandelion picking, pine cone collecting, and two sets of little baby toes!  I even got a little help from Emmy setting up each shot!  It was an honor to capture you all and to spend my Friday evening with you, thank you Sausser Family for a wonderful time!

| Ashley Hamman Baby Shower Invitations |

In our area a house divided usually means OSU/Michigan or Tigers/Indians, but it can also mean John Deere/Case!  That’s exactly the case for the Hamman family!  This June Ashley’s family and friends will be showering her and baby Hamman with lots of love and all things baby; and hopefully a lot of JD green!  I loved getting to combine their love of tractors into an elegant summer design.  June will be here before we know it and family and friends will be ready to celebrate; and then shortly thereafter, Baby Hamman!

| Kenzie Short 2017 Graduation Invitations |

I have had an absolute blast working with Kenzie!  Her senior session was one of my favorites last year and getting to create these 5×7 graduation invitations was just as fun!  She choose one of her favorite images from the session and we added a unique script font mixed with a traditional serif font to highlight her name and the details of where she and her family will be celebrating!  Kenzie will be off to the University of Cincinnati this coming fall majoring in Engineering.  The University of Cincinnati holds a special place in her family’s heart and I’m sure that she will be right at home there!  Congrats Kenzie and the AHS Class of 2017!

This last weekend I had the honor of covering Def Com 3!  This was the 3rd year for the local mini comic con and the turn out was wonderful!  So many unique and artistic things on display, from artwork to cosplay steam props!  There were arts and crafts for the kids, face painting, and even a cosplay contest!  Darth Vader, a storm trooper, Batman, & the Ghostbusters just to name a few also made an appearance!  Who could resist a selfie with these great characters?!  Another highlight from the day was the replica Supernatural Chevy Impala, fans young and old took turns sitting in this gorgeous ride!  A huge Thank You goes to the DPLS for putting on this amazing event, who’s ready for Def Com 4?!

Kyle & Taylor tied the knot last Saturday!  It was an honor to create the invitations and programs for this wonderful couple!  We carried the elegant design from their invitations through to their programs and they turned out beautifully!  Rather than the traditional 8.5″x11″ folded in half, they opted for an 11″ tall x 4.25″ wide two sided layout; and the details of their day laid out perfectly!  Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, Congrats Kyle & Taylor!

In our area we have many great school systems, we are also lucky enough to have a great group of home schoolers in the J.O.Y. Homeschool Co-Op!  In just a few short weeks these students will be taking to the stage for their production of Willy Wonka Jr.!  Having been a part of high school musicals, I know how much fun it is to see that final production on stage; the studying of lines, the set decorations, and dedication will all pay off for them on April 7 & 8!  Thank you for allowing me to play a small part in your production!  If you are in the area and looking for a some Friday or Saturday evening fun, check out Willy Wonka Jr.!

| DYS Leadership Retreat 2017 |

A couple weeks ago I was honored to be able to capture the DYS Leadership Retreat!  Each year the event features a guest speaker to help motivate and encourage the teens.  The Leadership program is committed to helping give all young T1D’s the tools needed to embrace their opportunities and differences, while working together towards better health, knowledge, friendships, and leadership!  This year’s guest speaker was the one and only Chris Ruden!  Chris is a powerlifter, entrepreneur, model, and motivational speaker — and a T1D!  It was absolutely amazing to meet this young man and watch him engage, capture, and work one on one with these teens.  Not only did he speak with them, he cooked with them!  If you ever get the opportunity to listen to Chris, do it, he will inspire you with his honesty, kindness, inspirational words, and overall genuine compassion for helping others!  Thank you Chris for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with DYS!

This year the Diabetes Youth Services Leadership Retreat kicked off their camp season like true super heroes!  The DYS Leadership Program is firmly committed to helping give all young T1D’s the tools needed to embrace their opportunities and differences, while working together towards better health, knowledge, friendships, and leadership!  Leadership Retreat is for their upcoming camp counselors to get excited, learn to work together, and prepare for the upcoming year’s three camps, Big, Middle, & Little Shots!  For the theme this year, the teens have chosen super heroes and were excited to create a design that could encompass what T1D camp counselors do for their campers!  Deep purple hoodies with lime green and white ink made their design pop.  A special thanks goes out to this year’s sponsors, The Farmers & Merchants State Bank and Renegade Fitness for helping to put on an amazing retreat for some outstanding teens leaders
