Last weekend we got to spend time with one of our favorite groups of people, the Short Family!  We have gotten to watch their girls grow over the years, capturing senior sessions, families, and a gorgeous wedding, we couldn’t ask for a more fun family full of love, antics, and lots of smiles.  We met at the always pretty Opdycke Park and it was adorned with the beautiful spring greens and wonderful weather.  It’s hard to believe that their youngest will be a senior this coming fall, but we are looking forward to what will be another outstanding session.  Thank you Short Family for the many years of smiles and love you have shown us, we can’t wait for this fall!

This year we headed out to Opdyke Park for their family session and it did not disappoint!  Colors are beginning to pop in the trees and the air has been warm in the day and crisp and cool at night.  Mason kept us entertained with his wit and jokes as usual while we looked for the perfect place for everyone.  We look forward to this full of life, sweet, and kind family every year!  Have a wonderful fall Grooms Family!

Senior year is a busy time for today’s seniors, so many activities, ball games, programs, college visits, and job opportunities!  Within the hustle and bustle are also many lasts; the last first day of school, the last first game, the last first club meeting, and even that last exam.  I had the honor of spending last Sunday with Pettisville High School Senior Tyler and his family and what a beautiful day we had!  The rain held off, we had sunshine, clouds, and wonderful locations.  We started off at Franker Mill Bridge, then to the school, and our last stop was the always wonderful Sauder Village!  We took advantage of the many great buildings and even ventured into their newest addition, The 1920’s!  We were able to capture so many wonderful images of Tyler, it was no easy task to find just a few sneaks!  Thank you Tyler and Family for a wonderful Sunday afternoon, best of luck this year and in the coming fall!

Ice and snow is blanketing northwest Ohio today as schools close and many are heading for the warm indoors!  As sessions begin to wrap for the year and graphics projects and logo design are picking up, it was fun to spend one of my last 2018 sessions with Reese last weekend!  We headed south a little ways to his mom’s home town and were able to find some wonderful spots!  We had access to some amazing old barns, a gorgeous old ’39 John Deere B tractor, and when your grandpa is the fire chief for the local department, you head into the warm fire station after being out in the chilly for some indoor fun!  Thank you Reese for a fun Sunday afternoon, best of luck this year and in the coming fall!

Raegan is 2!  When did that happen?!  Seems like it was just yesterday we did a family session for her and her family and she wasn’t very old!  She has such a sweet personality and was full of lots of adorable and funny faces for us last Saturday morning!  Fall has brought much cooler temperatures in the mornings and night, but it didn’t seem to bother Raegan at all, she was ready to explore and take on the world!  Whether we had cows around or not, she was sure to find one!  Her cute farm dress was perfect with her boots and jean jacket, she was ready to find what hid around every corner of the barns!  Happy Birthday Raegan, thank you for such a wonderful session, you kept me on my toes!

It’s been a few years since the Beaverson’s have been in front of the camera, but you would never have known, it was just like it had been yesterday!  A few weeks ago you saw their brother Hunter’s senior session, but last Sunday morning it was their turn!  We headed to a local barn with gorgeous grass and a beautiful fall light all around us!  As the fields are emptying and the colors changing, we bundle up just a bit more and smiled and laughed to keep us warm!  It’s been a beautiful fall and so many more wonderful sessions still to come, but what a wonderful session with great kids, thank you all for a great start to a fall morning!

Summer is quickly coming to a close and schools are back in session, warm nights are quickly fading, and the days are starting to get a little shorter.  Luckily I got to spend one of the last few days before school with now AHS Senior Katie!  We had so much fun finding grassy spots, which are some of her favorite places, adventuring, and coming accross a great old barn!  From great smiles and serious faces we had so many laughs and even dodged a few mosquitoes!  She is sure to stay busy with school, being an FC, and playing soccer, best of luck this year Katie!

| Phil & Kim Engagement |

Kim & Phil are adorable together!  I am so excited to get to capture their special day this coming September!  We headed out to Kim’s home for their engagement session on a beautiful summer evening of gator rides and some pretty cute goats!  Meeting new people is so much fun and I was excited to get a message from Kim, and was even more excited to find out that I knew some of her family and even her fiance!  Engagement sessions are a great time to see how a couple interacts with one another and to find the perfect poses for them on their big day, it didn’t take long for Kim and Phil to find their rhythm in front of the camera, they were naturals!  I’m looking forward to spending their day with them, congrats Kim & Phil!

Happy 4th of July!  What a great way to kick of the Holiday with some sneaks from this amazing 2019 summer senior session!  I headed to Napoleon last week and found some great places with the gorgeous Lydia!  From old barns and alley ways in between brick buildings, to grungy doorways and chalk on the bricks, it was a beautiful start to the evening.  We then head out to her family’s farm just a few miles down the road!  This time of year is wheat harvest for our area, and those golden fields of wheat are amazing.  I was so excited to find out Lydia’s family had several wheat fields on their farm, and we took full advantage of it!  We were able to capture so many amazing images during golden hour through sunset!  Choosing just a few sneaks from her session was not an easy task, but so much fun!  Thank you Lydia for an incredible evening and good luck this upcoming year!

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!
