raegan :: ohio newborn photography

I recently took images of this little miracle, Raegan, who is the daughter of Jake and Ashley. This little girl is creeping up on 3 weeks of age and absolutely melts your heart! Some of the images were taken in Raegan's nursery, which was full of all things pink, and the rest of them in other parts of their home. I loved capturing images for this new little family, which they can treasure for years to come. Thank you all and enjoy!

Little toes peeping through.

Good looking family, huh?!

my baby brother is going to be a senior

We have this grain truck that is going to be sold in the upcoming auction in Willshire this weekend at Farmer's Grain and Ag. It has been in the family for quite some time, and with BA finishing up his junior year I wanted to get some of his senior pictures with the grain truck. Not to mention the light was perfect last night! It really made the old girl look great for portraits, and if you know our family you know that FORD is the only way.. hehe :D (Well, the guys anyway) Enjoy, and hopefully this beautiful weather will stick around!

the easiest way to give

I received in the mail my beautiful gift certificates today! I needed a little update from what I had before of just typing up a pretty paper. I love how they turned out!

You can give the gift of photography! Nothing says gift like giving timeless moments.

albums

I have received some beautiful sample albums in the mail and I wanted to share a few images of them!

First up is the layflat. This is a 4x6 mini album. 10 pages/20 sides.

This album has a wrap around canvas photo cover. You can also get a satin finish.

This is a layflat panoramic album with an acrylic cover! Simply amazing.

The album lays completely flat!

Notice how thick the acrylic is.

beautiful frost :: winter of twenty ten

We have been getting all of this crazy snow lately, and I woke up the other morning to this beautiful scenery! I just LOVE the look of frost and snow clinging to tree limbs and other objects. I thought these images were too pretty to just sit on my hard drive so I wanted to share.. enjoy and stay warm out there today!

rachel :: ohio senior studio photography

These are a few shots of the beautiful Rachel! She came in to get some studio shots last week and I had to show off her pretty face! Rachel, you will be graduating pretty soon, and I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors!

alex + erin :: ohio e-session

I was excited when Erin asked me about doing images for their engagement and upcoming wedding. We have been wanting to take some in the snow, but with Alex's work schedule it just never seemed to work with the weather forecast. I am pleased to say, that we finally were able to get out and take some engagement images, although minus the snow. It was pretty foggy out but we managed to find some neat locations to shoot at! Enjoy :o)

Erin, I hope your boots didn't get too muddy!

Thank you guys and I can't wait for your wedding in October!

sam + april | columbus, ohio wedding photography

A while ago you may have seen the custom invitations and e-session that I did for this couple. Well, they got married, and we traveled to Columbus to shoot their wedding. You can absolutely see the love expressed between the two. It was so good to see all of our family together again. Sam and April, thank you for the honor to photograph your wedding, we wish the best for you!

Oh, April, if I would have collected a dollar for every time someone thought there was a strong resemblance between us, I would have been rich by the end of the night! People are still saying how much we look a like!

A few portraits, before the reception.

First dance.

Everyone was salsa dancing!

I hope you two have a wonderful time on your honeymoon!
