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!

As the leaves are turning and we still have unseasonably warm weather, we had the joy of photographing one of our favorite returning families for their annual session, the Grooms Family. We’ve worked together for several years now, and each fall brings not just a beautiful backdrop — but a reminder of how much has changes in a short year.

The kids have grown so much since last year. It’s always amazing to see how their personalities continue to blossom — more confident and more themselves. Capturing those in-between moments, the quick glances and inside jokes, is what makes these sessions so special.

This year, we had the perfect fall day. Soft sunlight filtering through the trees, warm tones all around, and a family full of love and laughter. It was the kind of session that makes us so grateful for what we do — not just photographing people, but helping them hold onto these fleeting chapters.

To the families who return year after year: thank you. It’s an honor to grow alongside you and we cherish every session with you!

Summer nights are finally returning after a chilly spring and brining us warmth and sunshine!  We met up with the Crossgrove Family on a beautiful Saturday evening at their farm for some straw bale climbing and lots of kiddo smiles!  The boys were having so much fun we could hardly get them to hold still long enough to capture their sweet personalities.  Then a wonderful way to wrap up the evening was with the amazing sunset that appeared over the pond hill, giving us the perfect opportunity capture a silhouette!  Thank you for a wonderful evening Crossgrove Family!

We love living in the country, just outside of our small tightknit farming community.  This time of year the crops are almost out of the fields, we are no longer corned in, and can see for miles once again.  Our neighbors aren’t just the house next door, but anyone within a two miles radius, and we were thrilled to head down the road to the Hoffman Farm last weekend to capture this sweet family!  They snuck away for the evening from their own farming and cattle for some updated family photos around the farm.  The kids have grown so much since they were last in front of our camera and made us feel a bit short!  😉  We had beautiful weather and the fall colors and golden hour were showing off as the last of the leaves begin to fall.  Thank you Hoffman Family for a wonderful evening, we can’t wait until the next session!

The Grooms Family, one our favorite yearly sessions, was back in front of our camera this last weekend.  The kids seem to have grown a foot since last year and are now as tall as their mom, not sure how that happened so fast!  We headed to a local park that had beautiful grasses and some color in the trees.  After a dry few months, fall color has been hard to find, but it’s finally popping up here and there.  The day started with rain, but cleared for comfortable fall temps and the perfect cloudy skies.  This year Addi is a senior so we didn’t do her individual photos at the same time, but to see her senior sneaks head on over to our senior gallery!  Thank you Grooms Family for another fun session!

We spent Friday evening with some of our favorite people, The Burtch crew brought smiles, sarcasm, and laughter in great abundance and made an unseasonably warm evening just that much more fun.  The Maumee and it’s fall colors along with the still summer green trees made for great backdrops for not only the family but Brok’s birthday photos!  Thank you Burtch Family for a fantastic evening!

Sweet Averi is turning one and we got to spend a beautiful morning together capturing not only this sweet girl but her whole family as well!  We met up at their beautiful cabin in the woods, and while most of the leaves have fallen, it was still such a pretty location for some family photos.  She is on the move and we had to stay on our toes to capture her, but her big brothers helped to make her smile.  Having known this family since before big brother Jensen was born, it’s been such a pleasure getting to know them all and watching the kids grow and seeing all of their personalities emerge!  Thank you Hamman Family for the opportunity to capture you and your family over the years, we always look forward to seeing you and can’t wait for the next adventure!

Most of the fall color is now gone and we are seeing colder weather in the forecast.  Even without a lot of color, our local woods are still gorgeous and a great place for family photos!  We spent a fun evening with the Huerta Family last weekend and had some wonderful entertainment from the young family members!  After lots of smiles and belly laughs, we even caught a great silhouette of everyone.  Thank you Huerta Family for joining and enjoying the beautiful weather last weekend!

Reegan & Paislee are three, how can that be?!  Seems like just yesterday we captured their first birthday!  With another beautiful, warm fall day we headed to a local park for some fun in the leaves and the girls did not disappoint with lots of smiles and giggles and the added fun of their bubble machine.  Another of our favorite families, it’s always great to have the Unverferth Family in front of our lens!  Happiest of birthdays Reegan & Paislee, we are looking forward to the next birthday and lots more fun in the leaves!

We love our yearly photo sessions and this young man never disappoints when we see him each fall!  From his contagious smile to his ornery antics, Brok makes every session nothing short of fun!  This year we headed uptown for a chilly afternoon of photos before the snow, yes snow, made it’s way to Ohio.  With some beautiful fall days still forecasted, the cold made it’s bone chilling appearance on Halloween!  However, we are ready for the warmer days to return as we capture our remaining sessions this fall.  Thank you for a great afternoon Brok!
