We were able to spend our Saturday evening with Ashlee & Austin, such a sweet couple, and capture them as they await the arrival of their first little one! The weather was perfect as we drove just down the road to a family farm with gorgeous big red barns and a woods that was just beginning to show those fall colors. Ashlee & Austin were absolutely adorable and their anticipation is evident in all they do. It was a great time exploring the woods and looking for those just right spots of light that would illuminate these two, Ashlee and her amazing smile and the looks of love that radiate from Austin as he gazes at her. Thank you both for such a wonderful evening, we can’t wait to meet your little one!

Here in Northwest Ohio the area is full of farmland, from cattle and pigs, to corn, beans, wheat. Farming runs deep in many families, including ours, with the next generation already learn the rains. Last weekend I was honored to have spent some time with the Crossgrove Family, a family we have been lucky enough to have known through school, farming, and fair for many years! They had gathered to celebrate their parent’s 50th Anniversary and topped the day off with an extended family session! It’s wonderful to capture a large group and be able to break down into individual families and capture their personalities. So many great images from their session and it was great to catch up with everyone, thank you Crossgrove Family for a wonderful evening and Happy 50th!

As we start to return to normal after a year of so many changes, we were honored to be able to spend last Sunday with Matt & Allie as they said “I Do” in a very quaint and beautiful ceremony of close family and friends! Matt’s love for Allie radiated during their bridal portraits and Allie’s smile was contagious and never ending when Matt arrived! He even brought her bouquet to their first look for her and it was absolutely stunning! We were lucky to have a beautiful spring day for outdoor photos, a little wind, but that didn’t stop Allie from smiling! After their ceremony guests enjoyed gorgeous and delicious cupcakes and yummy appetizers. It was a wonderful day for a sweet couple! Thank you Matt & Allie, wishing you all the best!

As summer is winding down and we start getting ready for hoodies, pumpkins, and fall colors, there is still so much summer beauty around us! I met up with the Quinones Family at a local woods where we found gorgeous greens and sweet little yellow flowers! It’s been a few years since we captured this adorable family and they did not disappoint! Mila helped me to pose her mom and dad and even got some fabulous smiles from them; we even caught a natural sun flare! It’s been an honor to watch this sweet family grow since photographing Mila as a newborn; thank you Pops, Jo, and Mila for a wonderful evening!

Though the Holiday Season has quickly come and gone, this time of year can still brings colder weather to our area, snow, sleet, rain, freezing, fog, and the occasional day of temperatures in the 60s! It’s not only an honor to capture such special moments in clients lives, but to be able to create a custom look for them to share with family and friends during the Holidays means so much! This last fall we met up at an old barn for the Wheeler session and were able to capture so many sweet moments of Mo and her mom and dad. Their custom cards this year included a touch of pine, berries, and the classic Happy Holidays in the rich burgundy that they wore for their session with their sweet Mo as the focus! She has grown so much since last year’s sessions and layout, I can’t wait to see how she changes next year! Hoping the Wheeler Family had a wonderful holiday!

The Gerdemans! I’m not sure if they could get any more adorable! After a downpour changed our original plan for their fall session we were able to quickly find a new one and captured so many beautiful images! Kristi sent me some great ideas for their Christmas cards and I was able to combine her ideas into one beautiful layout that fit their family and style perfectly! Nothing beats being able to share your favorite image from your session on a custom, one of a kind Christmas card that you helped to create! I love working with this sweet family and can’t wait to get them in front of my camera again and create another amazing Christmas card for them! Hope you had a wonderful and Merry Christmas & wishing you a Happy New Year!

What a wonderful way to wrap up the 2019 photo season! The Gillengerten Family’s session was on point, check out the amazing decorations at their home! From their warm, festive fire place to mom and dad’s perfect Christmas bedroom, there wasn’t an inch of their home that wasn’t ready for the Holiday Season! Everyone was warm and cozy in their matching pajamas, all ready for Christmas morning with their hot chocolate and candy canes in hand in front of the tree! Their sweet kiddos did amazing and had the most hilarious faces when we did goofy pictures, you couldn’t help but smile, their laughter was contagious. Thank you Gillengerten Family for a wonderful afternoon, wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just as we were getting ready for the Gerdeman Family’s session, it decided to downpour! With some quick thinking, fast moving, and a beautifully fall dressed family, we headed out to look for a new spot! We happened to pass a gorgeous wooded area close enough to the road that we could stay out of the mud, but far enough from the road that we would be safe. With no idea whom the homeowners were, we pulled up and they graciously gave us the go ahead to use their property! Despite our slight set back, the Gerdeman Family was on point all evening! With adorable smiles from their kiddos, to the sweet laughs mom and dad were able to get out of them, it was a wonderful session! Thank you Gerdeman Family for a wonderful evening and the flexibility to find a brand new spot all with out warning!

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!

Fall colors took quite some time to arrive to our part of Ohio, but when they did they were so pretty! Unfortunately, the days after brought rain and wind and the colors went from the trees to the ground. That didn’t stop Logan & Brittany from making the best of their rainy, down pouring, and cold wedding day, they stayed so positive and rolled with the punches! We weren’t able to go out to their chosen location for portraits due to the downpours, but we were lucky that their church had a covered drop off area and the ladies braved the cold temperatures in their beautiful dresses and the guys gave us their handsome smiles! Brittany was having a blast as we did her portraits, living up every minute and working the camera, they turned out amazing! This sweet couple has such a wonderful support system in their family and friends and their love for one another shined when we photographed just the two of them together; no one existed but them and it was adorable! From the beautiful details in the flowers and rings, the touches at their receptions, their amazing bridal party helping them celebrate all day, and their sense of adventure, it was a gorgeous day, no matter what mother nature threw our way! I can’t wait to get them and their family back in front of my camera! Congrats Logan & Brittany, wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
