Fall, the smell of falling leaves, cool rains, pumpkins, mums, it’s my favorite time of the year! October also means it’s Archbold High School & Ridgeville High School Alumni Band night! I am honored to be able to capture this evening each year, to see faces I don’t see often, catch up with them, and reminisce! What started out as a rainy morning and afternoon, turned into a gorgeous night for everyone. Events are such a fun thing to capture, you never know what’s going to happen, a drummer could break out into dancing to James Brown or the flag girls could lift trumpet player! A huge thank you to all involved for making this evening happen for the Alumni, the 2017 AHS Marching Band, the speaker Mr. Hoverman, current AHS Band Director Beth Voll & her amazing staff, it was a fun night to be a part of! Looking forward to next year already! Go Streaks & Falcons!

What a wonderful session last Saturday to kick off the fall season!  The leaves are beginning to change, however it’s been unseasonably hot and humid, weather that we would normally see in July and August!  Despite the heat I spent a wonderful Saturday evening with Tyler & Olivia!  We started out at a beautiful location in the country and then headed downtown to use the wonderful old brick buildings, all the while staying in the shade to keep cool.  Now that fall is here, that also means football season, and we couldn’t do a fall session without including some shots in their favorite team colors!  With so many wonderful images from the session, it was hard to find just a few sneak peeks to share.  Thank you for a great evening, Congrats Tyler & Olivia!

Yesterday was a warm, muggy, and off and on rainy one here in Ohio, but I got to spend the clear afternoon with the Kauffman Family!  They are such a sweet family with huge hearts, a strong faith, and unending kindness!  Trina was diagnosed with Leukemia this year, but is standing strong with determination and strength!  We had planned to do family pictures early this year, but with her diagnosis it just wasn’t the right time, but this last weekend was perfect, great weather, conversations, stories, and the smell of food wafting through the air!  It was wonderful to incorporate some of the ideas that the family had for poses as well!  Thank you Kauffman Family for a wonderful afternoon, stay strong Trina, and hopefully we can all get together again soon!

What a beautiful day it was last Saturday for a wedding!  I was once again honored to be asked to shoot alongside fellow photographer and friend Lauren Beers at this beautiful couple’s wedding!  From detail shots and the ceremony at the church, heading across the street and uptown, and then out to a home in the country, we ended up at their reception for a night of good food and dancing!  I love getting to share my talents with fellow photographers and learn from them at the same time; community over competition, building each other up, and providing a couple with even more shots from their special day!  Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Long!

This family radiates love.  In every action, word, and general kindness!  Once you graduate high school it’s easy to lose contact with classmates as you go in your own directions and start your own families.  Last Sunday I had the absolute honor of capturing a classmate of mine and her family!  Meeting her sweet husband and adorable daughter was so much fun; not only did we catch up, but made plans to get together in the future when they are in the area!  Our husbands hit it off and I can’t wait for our little guy to meet their daughter for play dates!  From old brick buildings downtown, to golden wheat fields and old red barns, what better time to pull out the vintage couch and explore!  I’m so excited for them with the arrival of their next little one just a few short months away, Jazmine looks so beautiful, the pictures just don’t do her justice!  Ale definitely keeps them on their toes, but couldn’t be cuter; Jose you are one lucky man!  Congrats Lopez family and we can’t wait to get together again!

Summer has quickly arrived in Ohio!  Last weekend we braved the hot and muggy weather for a beautiful evening with Justin & Ashley for their maternity session!  A gorgeous couple with a house divided, Mama loves John Deere and Daddy loves Case IH!  They were looking for an evening of fun, simplicity, and country!  And a few cows thrown in!  They don’t know the gender of their little one, but that’s one of the best surprises, and no matter what it is, it is already very loved!  Congrats Justin & Ashley, can’t wait to see that little one!

A huge thank you to Andy & Darla Bok for allowing us to roam their farm that evening!

Last weekend was a beautiful spring day for this handsome little man’s 1 Year pictures & cake smash!  His cake even matched his gorgeous blue eyes!  He had just woken up from a nap in his car seat so we started out playing at the park and then just as we were getting ready for his cake I caught him watching me and was able to capture his perfect, bright blue eyes!  As soon as he saw the cake, his little fingers went right to it and the yummy goodness right into his belly!  After a knee in the cake and some grass in his fingers and hair, Carter decided he had had enough and it was time to clean up!  A big thank you to Carter and his family for a fun afternoon and a Happy Birthday Carter!

Last weekend I was honored to be able to shoot along side fellow photographer & friend Lauren Beers!  We headed out to Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids, OH for the beautiful wedding of Kelsey & Sean!  Despite the day’s previous rain and moving their ceremony inside, the day was sunny & gorgeous for some outdoor photos and what a beautiful venue inside!  From their energetic bridal party and two handsome little boys, to great family and friends, a wonderful time was had by all.  Congrats Kelsey & Sean!

| Ryan Wiemken Graduation Invitations |

This last summer we headed out in the warm morning heat to capture Ryan’s senior pictures!  From wheat fields to dairy farms and bale wagons to silos, we got so many great images!  I can’t believe we are already creating his graduation invitations and that graduation is just around the corner.  It’s fun to see which images seniors and their families choose to showcase on their invites; and even more fun to see which throwback ones they like to add!  What a cute little farmer he was!  Congrats and Best of Luck Ryan!

Northwest Ohio weather has been unpredictable at best this spring, but last Friday we had a gorgeous day out to capture this beautiful family!  We headed out to Lauber Tree Farm to borrow their beautiful old barn and trees!  Our session was filled with exuberant giggles, dandelion picking, pine cone collecting, and two sets of little baby toes!  I even got a little help from Emmy setting up each shot!  It was an honor to capture you all and to spend my Friday evening with you, thank you Sausser Family for a wonderful time!
