| Truscelli Family 2018 |

It is officially fall here in Ohio!  You can see a hint of color starting in some of the trees, the air is a bit cooler, and then sometimes back up to the hot and humid, and the fall decorations are appearing on front porches around the area!  Last weekend I met up with the Truscelli Family at a local lake for their family session!  It was a beautiful day with gorgeous trees, water, and lots of laughs!  I love when families jump in with posing ideas and share their thoughts, it makes the session just that much more special for them!  Thank you Truscelli Family for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

| Grooms Family 2018 |

Everything about this family makes me smile!  The Grooms Family is another one of my yearly sessions and each year I can’t wait to see how they have grown and changed, it won’t be long before the oldest is taller than me!  This year, we headed out to the beautiful Sauder Village Campground and Little Lake Erie; after a few days of heavy rains, we had a gorgeous and cool fall day.  We even found a couple trees whose leaves were just starting to show a hint of color, giving us the perfect feel to the start off fall!  I love every minute of my conversations with each of these kids, I always leave having learned something new!  Mason wanted to do a recreate of an image we capture back in 2014 and challenged me to do a side by side of them for their sneaks, challenge excepted!  Thank you Grooms Family for another wonderful session, have a great Fall!

| Henry Family 2018 |

The Henry Family has kicked off our 2018 Fall Season!  Our first session with gorgeous pumpkins, mums, and straw bales!  I have known the Henry Family for a long time, from going to school with their boys to showing at the fair and being in the same 4-H club in our small town; I was honored to get a message a few weeks ago to capture them on a beautiful and warm Labor Day!  After a quick couple miles down the road, we got some wonderful shots of this amazing family and their adorable grand kids!  Two handsome young men on pedal tractors and a gorgeous girl with beautiful flowers made their session perfect!  We had a very warm morning, but the kids were troopers and we were able to beat the noon heat!  Thank you Henry Family for a wonderful start to our Labor Day!

| Brok Burtch 2018 |

When you wear a hot dog shirt to your session, you know it’s going to be great!  Brok is hilarious, his personality matches his shirt perfectly!  We had beautiful weather the other day as we strolled through downtown Defiance for his session.  I love my yearly sessions with this handsome guy, they are always full of laughs, giggles, and scary expressions!  Brok started kindergarten this week and I’m sure is going to rock it!  Have fun this year buddy!

| Trey Siler 2018 |

I look forward to this young man’s session every year!  He is sweet, caring, helpful, and funny!  Every session with him is an adventure, deciding what place will we explore each year, and I am sure he will be taller than me!  We headed to the Auglaize River this year and found some great spots to show off his amazing smile, and those freckles, I love them!  With school just around the corner, spending the morning with Trey was a great way to start winding down July!  Good luck this upcoming year Trey!

| Mila Quinones 4 Years |

Mila is 4 years old, how did that happen?!  It feels like just yesterday we were doing her newborn pictures!  We had such a great time last weekend at her session, she had some great ideas, and was ready for anything!  Such an adorable young lady who is already ready to take on the world!  Her Mom and Dad we great helpers in helping me to capture that sweet smile.  All of the cuteness and those curls is just too much to handle, her expressions in that adorable hat to laughing in the alfalfa field!  Miss Mila you are growing so fast and it has been an honor to watch and get to capture these important moments!

Thank you to Marie & Norbert Rohrs for letting us borrow your gorgeous barns and fields!

| Ashlee Jones |

Beautiful.  Ashlee is this word inside and out!  It seems like just a short time ago we were doing her senior pictures and she was getting ready to embark on the next chapter, that was already back in 2015, where has the time gone!  Since our last get together Ashlee is now an STNA, working in a neighboring town, and on her way to a nursing degree, how amazing is that?!  We got together last week for an amazing session, just because!  We met up in our small town and walked around from building to building and then headed out to a great grassy field!  Everyone deserves to do a fun photo session for no other reason than to have a wonderful time laughing, catching up, and capturing some amazing smiles!  Thank you Ashlee for heading out on a warm summer evening and braving the walk through the grass with me!

| Hamman & Hall Families 2018 |

Another fabulous family was up and at ’em last Sunday morning!  We headed to a great secluded park on a cloudy and beautiful day!  The older kids were big helpers in watching the younger ones so we could do different combinations of families!  Now that spring has arrived in Ohio we had a gorgeous green backdrop along an old bridge, and with the rain ending the day before and holding off while we were out, we didn’t have soggy ground and mud puddles.  So many great young families in this group, some adorable faces from the little ones, and some great laughs!  Thank you Hamman and Hall Families for a wonderful Sunday morning!

| Fry Family 2018 |

I spent part of Mother’s Day with the amazing Fry Family!  By the end of the session my abs were so sore from laughing, never a dull moment and such a wonderful time!  You might recognize a few faces from some previous individual sessions this year and I was thrilled to get to capture the whole group as one.  From four adorable grand kids, to a group of comical son-in-laws, side splitting laughter was on hand the whole session!  We ventured back to a gorgeous cabin in the woods with a creek, brilliant green color on the trees, and just a little mud!  Natalie and Annie did amazing and were gorgeous, Jensen was Mr. Ham as usual, and Miss Moline was perfect at just a couple weeks old!  Thank you all for a wonderful start to Mother’s Day, hope all four of you Mama’s had a great day!

| Fry Family 2017 |

We had snow flakes last Sunday!  It was chilly, damp, and rainy, and then there were large flakes!  The Fry Family braved the cold temps, bundled to stay warm, and then unbundled quick for a great result!  Three gorgeous granddaughters and a handsome grandson made this session so fun!  The girls were full of smiles and even held hands!  Thomas was a trooper in the cold and gave us some great grins!  Thank you Fry Family for a fun afternoon!
