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!

Color is beginning to pop here in Ohio and senior sessions are in full swing.  We got to spend time with the wonderful Teylan this weekend and have a great time at Independence Dam and THS where she cheers on the Rams!  She also surprised us with some beautiful and graceful dance poses!  Thank you Teylan for a fantastic evening, wishing you the best of luck in your senior year!

It was a warm summer afternoon, with sun, clouds, and then sun again, as we captured Chris & Beth tie the not last weekend in a quaint backyard ceremony with close family and friends!  Smiles and laughter rang out after the ceremony as their guests got to enjoy many fun board games.  Once family photos wrapped up, everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and continued their games and wonderful conversations.  Every couple we capture is special to us, but none so much as those we have known for many years!  We couldn’t be happier for Chris and Beth as they embark on their new life together, congratulations you two!

Graduation season is quickly approaching and 2023 Seniors are starting to look towards their final months of high school.  Last weekend we spent some time at the bowling alley capturing Trey’s final senior session and watching him knock down a few pins!  We will miss capturing this genuine young man’s smile each fall; it has been a great honor to watch you grow over the years, but we look forward to seeing all of the amazing things that he will accomplish in the future!  Congratulations Trey!

Love and Laughter were in the air last Saturday as we headed out to Independence Dam to capture Chris & Beth’s engagement!  With unusually warm weather for October and lots of great color, it was the perfect backdrop for their session.  Having known Beth for quite some time, it was wonderful to meet Chris and see the smile that he brought to her and the light that shown in her eyes.  It was great to catch up and find unique spots and some breathtaking views of fall beauty across the Maumee River.  Congratulations Chris & Beth, thank you both for a wonderful evening!

This winter we have had more snow than in previous years and the fields around us have looked so nice with their blanket of white!  Graicen had mentioned wanting to do a snow session for part of her senior photos and we were lucky to have a beautiful weekend of snow, sunshine, and mild temperatures; so we headed out to the woods for some fun in the freshly fallen powder!  She once again rocked her session, there is nothing we can’t do that she doesn’t make look amazing.  Thank you Graicen for the honor of capturing your senior year, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

Senior sessions are some of my favorites.  Every senior brings an individuality to their session in their locations, outfits, and props.  We started planning Graicen’s senior session last fall and she knew that she wanted to do some in each season; what a great idea to capture your senior year as the seasons change!  Last Friday we got together for her summer session and had a wonderful time finding unique spots at the local reservoir. Stay tuned for more of Graicen as the seasons change!

Kind hearted, genuine, and funny, these are just three of the words to describe this handsome guy!  It has been such an honor to capture him over the years and watch him grow, I am officially looking up at him these days!  Trey is a natural in front of the camera and we are constantly laughing during his sessions.  I can’t wait to hear about all of the amazing things he accomplishes this school year!

Each year I look forward to this young man’s session!  He grows so much in just one year and this year he is quickly catching up to me!  Brok never ceases to amaze us with his antics at a session, from jumping into the unknown grasses to amazing us with his genuine smile and that laugh, you never know what’s around the corner.  He’s sure to have a wonderful year at school, have a blast Brok!

How absolutely stunning is this girl!?  Each year I wonder if Graicen will top her session from the previous year, and the answer every year is yes!  Trying to narrow down sneaks and not show the hundreds that we took was no easy feat!  No matter where we go or what we do, what season it is, or what the weather is doing, she knocks her sessions out of the park!  This year we headed out to the woods and fields, trying to catch the last of the color on the trees before it fell with the upcoming weather!  We had amazing light as golden hour approached and golden hour itself didn’t disappoint.  I had a wonderful lighting assistant in her younger brother Trey, you saw his session a few weeks ago, who was on point all night, we couldn’t have done it without him!  Next year is Graicen’s senior year, she has big plans already for what she wants to do, I can’t wait to pull her visions together!  Have a great Junior Year Graicen!
