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!

Lawson stopped by for his newborn session last weekend and he did amazing!  Slept through the session like a dream and did great while big sister Lylah took a turn giving him some snuggles.  I love when clients bring little things to incorporate into their little one’s sessions!  Kristi & Brandon brought an adorable hat and bear that matched perfectly into one of his sets and we were also able to do a little tribute to Kristi’s dad by surrounding Lawson with some of his John Deere model airplanes!  Love getting to see this sweet family and it will be so much fun to watch Lawson grow, Congrats Brandon, Kristi, & Lylah!

Just over a year ago I got an email from a sweet couple looking to book their photographer for 2018, we met and instantly hit it off!  Tyler & Olivia have been so much fun to work with over this last year when we started with their engagement session and save the date cards, to their invitations, koozies, and capturing their big day.  The day started out rainy and dreary, but as I arrived at the church, the rain stopped and things brightened up!  They opted to not see each other before the ceremony, but instead we did a corner meet so that they could exchange letters and have a moment to themselves and it was so sweet!  The bridesmaids and moms were great help in getting Olivia ready and the groomsmen were ready to get Tyler down the isle!  We heard showers while we were inside off and on, but when we were ready to head out with the bridal party, the showers stopped again and we had great weather for outdoor portraits!  Every detail of the day was planned perfectly, from the dresses and tuxes, to the beautiful cake and chocolate frosted cupcake heart in the middle of the cake table and the sweet note attached to the guests’ silverware!  Olivia looked gorgeous and Tyler beamed with pride as he saw her for the first time walking down the isle!  I’m so happy for Tyler & Olivia and look forward to seeing them around town and many more fun sessions in the future!  Congratulations you two!!!

| 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!

I had the pleasure of shooting alongside fellow photographer Shaylee Brown last weekend at a beautiful wedding in Toledo!  It’s so much fun to be able to weave our talents together, bounce ideas and thoughts off one another, and teach and learn from each other; community over competition, pushing each other forward, and building each other up!  The day started off rainy, but as soon as Nick & Theresa’s ceremony ended, the rain stopped and we were able to capture some gorgeous shots before the reception!  Enjoy some of my images from the day!  Thank You Shaylee for asking me to join you and Congratulations Nick & Theresa!

| 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!

This beautiful couple welcomed their first little one just a week ago!  Noah, Christine, and I headed out on a chilly Saturday afternoon, got the tractor and combine out of the barn, and had a wonderful time catching up and capturing this wonderful time in their lives!  I have known Christine for quite some time and it’s been wonderful to get to know Noah, he is already such a great Daddy and Christine is so in love with her little one already, she beams when she watches them together!  Their love radiates for Baby Wheeler and I am so excited for them!  Stay tuned for sneaks of Baby Wheeler’s newborn session!  Congrats Noah & Christine!

Miss Maggie was in studio a few months ago for her sweet newborn session and her family decided to send out birth announcements!  We came up with this adorable custom look for her mom and dad to send to family and friends near and far.  She has changed so much since her session, they just don’t stay little very long!

We hit the baseball field last Sunday to finish up Brandon’s Senior Session!  You saw sneaks from the first half last fall from our downtown and golf session, and now that spring is here we had great weather to head outside!  Brandon even took to the mound for a few pitches to throw some heat!  It’s been so much fun getting to capture Brandon this year, Congratulations and Best of Luck this Fall!

| Tyler & Erica Engagement |

This year in Ohio it has taken much longer for spring to arrive, but last weekend I got to spend the afternoon with this sweet couple for their engagement session!  In our area we are lucky to have Ohio’s largest living-history destination, Sauder Village; Tyler and Erica met here while working summer jobs(they still work here!) and it seemed only fitting to do their engagement session at the Village!  The love between these two radiates, they see each other and they both beam!  Tyler looks at Erica and lights ups, Erica is all smiles when she looks at Tyler.  It was wonderful to have the Village all to ourselves, we reminisced about how things have grown and changed, where buildings used to be, and what the upcoming season will bring!  Their laughs are infectious, their love is beautiful, and I can’t wait to capture their wedding in July!  Congratulations Tyler & Erica!
