Introducing the newest member of our family! He is so adorable and is the sweetest, most easy-going baby ever! Lizzie & Logan - you guys are incredible parents. I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures :)

I've been a horrible blogger....

2010-04-20T20:08:00.000-04:00

I know it's been months since I've blogged!! I have been so busy that I just haven't had the time. Soon - I promise, there will be TONS of new stuff. Thanks for checking in :)

Feel free to ask to see albums in the meantime!

Vintage Brides

2009-09-29T22:23:00.000-04:00

I've had some AMAZING weddings this past month, but I wanted to share pictures from the most recently two - both were vintage themed weddings and both had tons of peacock feathers!! Here's just a few of the beautiful brides, but there are plenty more to come!!

Lebron

2009-09-29T22:16:00.000-04:00

Oh - one more fun one:) When I drove into Cleveland yesterday, the very first thing I noticed was this building covered with a HUGE Lebron James poster. After we got the bridal party pictures done and we were on our way to the reception, they decided to get a picture in front of this massive picture!! So - we headed over there, had the police help us out, and got a few fun pictures - even in the rain they didn't mind! Here is just one of the pictures - what an awesome bridal party!! I hope these pictures are everything you were hoping for! Can't wait to work on the rest of the pictures!! :)

A Mother's Love

2009-09-13T19:44:00.004-04:00

One of the most amazing things about doing newborn pictures is watching the way mothers, especially first time mothers, look at their beautiful new babies. I got so many of those shots during this session (and I promise they aren't posed!) so I thought I would share them with you! I also included a couple that I got again with a hair piece from Pin Me Up Couture.

Autumn & Brian

2009-09-09T21:19:00.004-04:00

Autumn & Brian live on 80 beautiful acres in the Anderson area, so we did the engagement pictures there. It was absolutely beautiful!! There wedding is coming up in October - can't wait!

Introducing Callista & Savannah...

2009-09-09T20:48:00.002-04:00

So just today I had the opportunity to go the NICU at Good Sam to take some pictures of identical twins Callista (aka Cali) & Savannah who were less than 2 days old!! Their journey to this world was a long one and their mother, Tabatha, has spent the last 6 weeks on bed rest in the hospital to give these beautiful babies time to grow. Tabatha - you have been an amazing mother already and I hope to continue to work with you on this journey of being a mother! And of course, Aaron - you are the luckiest guy in the world and have been such an incredible support for your wife! You guys are going to be amazing parents!!!

As you can see in the pictures, Cali & Savannah are extremely tiny. Cali was born at just 2lbs 14 oz and Savannah was 4 lbs 5 oz. They are sooooo precious!!!!!

Please check out their story on their blog - Babbs' Baby Trail

Tabatha & Aaron - I hope you love the pictures! I'll see you again as soon as you are able to bring these beautiful girls home.

First, introducing Savannah:

Now, introducing Cali:

The girls together:

Pin Me Up Couture is a company based out of Dayton, Ohio. They are owned by the amazing photographer - Tracy Abston of Pictures by Tracy - and her partner Michelle. From the beginning, I loved their bridal pieces so I was constantly checking them out. The night before I had a baby girl newborn session I saw that they had posted some amazing newborn pieces and I called Tracy to get them right away!! The pieces are so modern! I have the opportunity to use them 3-4 times so far, but here are a few shots from a recent session where I was able to use all three! Tracy - I can't wait to see some of the new pieces!!!

Elliott

2009-07-05T19:20:00.003-04:00

As many of you know, 2-year olds are very curious:) So how do you entertain them to keep them in one area for a brief amount of time? Ice cream and water=)

Meet Elliott. He's so sweet and precious. He's also the son of the amazing hairstylist, Jennifer Nally! (Let me know if you need a great stylist and I can get you her contact info!!) Here are a few pictures from our session. We ate ice cream at the amazing Blue Chip Gourmet in downtown Loveland and then we proceeded to the water fountain!

Fabulous Shoes

2009-07-04T20:28:00.004-04:00

I love when my brides wear fabulous shoes for their wedding day! (Engagement pictures are good too!!) Here are a couple of pairs from the past couple of weeks. First, the jeweled pair was actually made by one of my brides. They were AMAZING! She glued on every single jewel! The second pair was from another recent wedding - totally outside of the box in terms of wedding shoes=)

Ok - lots more updates to come! Stay posted =)

I love newborns...

2009-07-04T20:16:00.006-04:00

I could take pictures of newborns all day, every day!

This is Brady and his big brother Carter. They also have beautiful cats, so I had to throw in a couple pictures of them=) Enjoy!

Thomas & Nancy - Engagement

2009-07-04T20:09:00.003-04:00

Ok - so I've been a horrible blogger lately!! I've been so busy. So, I'm going to try to be better over the next month. I have so much to blog - weddings, babies, engagement, etc!

Anyways - this is Tom & Nancy! We had a blast at their engagement session and I'm sure the wedding will be amazing. They are such a beautiful and fun couple!! Here are a few from their session.

Matt & Laura - Maternity

2009-05-03T22:01:00.006-04:00

This past weekend I had a maternity session with Matt & Laura and their little girl, Lexi. They are such a beautiful and fun family!

I'll be doing a newborn session when the baby arrives in a couple of month. I can't wait! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

Max

2009-05-03T15:19:00.006-04:00

I had the great opportunity of photographing the strongest little guy anyone could ever meet. From Max's Blog:

"Max was partially born when he underwent an open fetal surgery at 22 weeks 5 days gestation. He was then put back into the womb until he was born again at 35 weeks 3 days on May 12, 2008. Max has end stage renal disease and is dialysis dependent. Once he is big enough to receive a new kidney, his mommy will be proudly donating hers."

Max has an amazing family and is such a happy baby. Here are just a few from the session.

Please check out Max's blog @ http://maxlivingston.blogspot.com/

My daddy makes me laugh...

2009-04-27T21:35:00.014-04:00

I was so fortunate to have some amazing sessions this past weekend. This session was with friends of mine - Jen, Steve and Steve's daughter, Lauren. Lauren is an amazing little girl and when I asked her what she likes best about her dad, her response was "He's really funny and makes me laugh!!" Absolutely precious. Anyways, I had a really hard time picking favorites again so I asked Steve to help. So, here are a few of our favorites! Enjoy=)

Steve attempting to give his daughter a kiss on the check. Lauren was not thrilled about the idea;)

Having some fun!!

Max & Maddie

2009-04-26T19:15:00.006-04:00

These children are beautiful! I would post the entire album if I could=) Here are a few of my favorites from our session this weekend at Ault Park. Enjoy!!!

Fun in Chicago...

2009-04-19T17:38:00.014-04:00

Dan & Danielle live just south of Chicago. I had to go there this past week for work, so we decided to do their engagement session while I was there. We couldn't have asked for better weather!!

Danielle & Dan - I had so much fun working with you guys and am glad I finally got to meet you:) I'm so excited for your wedding in June!

Happy Easter!

2009-04-12T13:48:00.001-04:00

Audrey Jane...

2009-04-12T13:47:00.007-04:00

Beautiful newborn...

2009-04-01T21:00:00.012-04:00

This session with Jenny & Adam was a ton of fun! It was probably the most photojournalistic session I've done. I hung out for 2-3 hours and took pictures of them living their lives with their newborn baby boy. I got everything from the feeding, to grandma singing him to sleep, to changing diapers. Here are a few of my favorites. Adam is a huge UK fan, so I had to include a couple just for him:)

Kristen & Jeff

2009-03-26T19:04:00.011-04:00

So Kristen and I have known each other since high school, but haven't seen or really talked to each other since! She is still as fabulous and beautiful as she was many, many (we're getting old!) years ago!

I had so much fun shooting this session! Kristen & Jeff are one of the most fun & passionate couples I have had the opportunity of working with. I am so excited to shoot their wedding. They met at UD, so we shot the majority of their pictures on campus there. It was the first time I have actually been to UD and was pleasantly surprised. It's a beautiful campus!

Kristen & Jeff - Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer. I hope you enjoy your engagement pictures. I am very honored to be part of your big day.

Enjoy=)

One month old....already!

2009-02-22T21:21:00.011-05:00

I cannot believe that these beautiful babies are 1 month old already! They have gotten so much bigger and have really gained their own identity.

As for Amanda, you could never guess that she gave birth to twins just a month ago. She looks incredible! Her and Todd have not been getting much sleep, but I think it's all worth it:)

Maggie & Chris...

2009-02-14T21:22:00.016-05:00

So, I just shot these yesterday. We were downtown and the wind was crazy, plus downtown was busy because of something going on at the convention center. We stayed mostly in alleys until we were too cold and then we hung out in a coffee shop for a bit!

Maggie & Chris are getting married the first weekend of April at Paul Brown Stadium. I can't wait to work with them again. Let's hope for warmer weather;)

Happy First Birthday!

2009-02-08T19:02:00.026-05:00

Aleck is 1 year old today! He is such a happy baby - very easy to photograph and he just loved the camera. Catrina & Jeremy - I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Look at these eyes!! So beautiful....

Camden & Tessa - Day 2

2009-01-26T20:30:00.017-05:00

Ok, so we still didn't get finished today! We got close. Hopefully we'll get the newborn pictures done before the 1 month pictures!!! Oh well - the more pictures I take, the more I get to see these beautiful babies:)

Tessa sleeping like an angel...

Camden making silly faces:)

Brother & Sister

Now a sneak peak at them in their new nurserys. I believe this may have been their first visit there!

Introducing Camden Michael & Tessa Marie...

2009-01-25T20:04:00.008-05:00

Today was the first photo session for Camden Michael & Tessa Marie. They are currently 5 days old - extremely precious! They were not in the mood to get pictures today, so we're going to try again tomorrow:) Here are a few that I liked from today's session!

The Miracle Children....

2009-01-21T12:05:00.002-05:00

I just wanted to post a couple of quick pictures of the Sphire twins! These are pictures from the family. Amanda is still in ICU and very sadly - has still yet to meet her beautiful miracles. She has only seen pictures. The babies are both doing great. Baby girl Sphire weighs 5lbs 5ounces and is 18.5 inches long and baby boy Sphire weighs 5lbs 12 ounces and is 19 inches long! Amanda still needs your prayers!

Miracle Pregnancy...

2009-01-16T19:15:00.004-05:00

Todd & Amanda have been trying for many years to get pregnant. They tried multiple IUI's and then moved onto in vitro fertilization (IVF). On the 8th, yes EIGHTH, try of IVF they found out they were pregnant with twins. It's been a long, scary journey for the two of them but I'm very excited to say that the two babies still appear healthy and are scheduled to be born in just 6 days!!!!!!!! (Jan 22)

Todd & Amanda - I am so excited that I had the opportunity to take this pictures. You are going to make such wonderful parents and you deserve this more than anyone I know! I can't wait to take lots of pictures of the babies:) Love you guys!

Anyways - here are a few of my & Amanda's favorties:)

Maddie & Max update...

2009-01-16T18:49:00.006-05:00

I love taking pictures of these too!! Here are just a few of their holiday session:)

I'm a lucky girl..

2008-11-13T19:40:00.011-05:00

So, over this past year I have had the honor of working with the fabulous and crazy talented Tine Hofmann of TM Photography(www.tmphotography.net/blog). She's has truely been my mentor and inspiration on my journey of becoming a photographer. So anways, these pictures that I took for Julie and Brian were VERY inspired by Tine. I couldn't post them without giving her credit for all she has taught me. Thanks Tine - you're the best:)

So back to Julie & Brian. Julie's shoes were fabulous!! I would totally wear them all the time!!!

I hope you enjoy these pictures!

Kallen

2008-11-12T21:07:00.007-05:00

Ok - I lied. THREE posts:) Kallen is unofficially my newphew:) They came to visit the weekend of my birthday and he is so darn cute I had to snap a few photos of him hanging out in his OSU gear.

Beautiful Family...

2008-11-12T20:27:00.012-05:00

Ok - I'm catching up on blog posts. So, you get two today:)

This is the Eley family. I've known them family for more than 2 years now and from the moment I first saw pictures of their little girl, I kept telling Amanda that I wanted to take pictures of her - she's so beautiful. I finally had the honor. She was the most amazing 2.5 year old I've ever met. She constantly said "please" and "thank you" the entire day - so precious!! We planned the day about 2 months in advance and couldn't have wished for a better day.

Katie & Dale

2008-11-12T19:51:00.007-05:00

I just did Katie & Dale's pictures this past weekend. Dale has a house out in the country and the land is just beautiful. I tried to pick some of my favorite pictures as well as some pictures that showed the beauty of the land. I even loved the weeds!!

Katie & Dale - I hope you enjoy your pictures!

And last but not least, introducing Ema & Izy -

Julie & Brian

2008-11-02T17:35:00.022-05:00

Ok - I don't even know where to begin. Julie has become one of my greatest friends over the last year. When her and Brian got engaged, I couldn't stand the thought of anyone else taking her pictures - so I insisted on taking them. Their wedding was October 18, 2008 and turned out to be an amazing day. Of course, for those of you who know Julie, the wedding was started about 30 minutes late but other than that -- PERFECT:) The wedding was held at a beautiful little church in Batavia, Ohio - Holy Trinity Church and the reception was at Ivy Hills Country Club. These are just a few of my favorite pictures of the day.

Julie & Brian - Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. I hope you enjoy your pictures!

Rebekah & Jacob

2008-10-07T19:36:00.021-04:00

The day of Rebekah and Jacob's wedding was supposed to be a rainy day, however it turned out to be one of the most perfect days of the year! Here are just a few of the pictures from their amazing wedding day.

Church: Goshen Church of God

Reception: Winton Woods - Mill Race Banquet Center

Max & Maddie

2008-09-09T19:18:00.005-04:00

So I photographed Maddie a few months back, but now I had the opportunity to photograph her new beautiful brother - Max. Max cried the majority of the session, but I still managed to get some great shots.

Emmie

2008-07-17T21:41:00.008-04:00

Emmie is another recent addition to the family. Look how cute and look at all that hair!!! I also took a few pictures of the dogs and had to put one of each on here. I would mention their names, but at his moment I'm a horrible person and completely forget! Again - CONGRATS Kim & Drew!

Lindsey & Jeff

2008-06-09T22:59:00.001-04:00

Last year, I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many amazing couples including Lindsey & Jeff. Their wedding was in July 2007 and took place at St. Mary's in Hyde Park. The reception was at the 20th Century Theather in Oakley.

Julie & Ryan

2008-06-09T21:40:00.005-04:00

Here are some pictures from my wedding on May 10, 2008. It was such a beautiful day!! Congrats Julie & Ryan - I hope you enjoy your pictures.

Maria & Mark

2008-06-08T22:42:00.002-04:00

I photographed Maria & Mark almost 2 years ago. Maria was smiling every minute for the entire day which made it extremely easy to take some great pictures.

Disclaimer: Do not try to replicate the two pictures of me following them in the car. It is very unsafe to take pictures while driving! (However, it was very worth it for these shots!)

Joshua & Bri

2008-06-05T18:45:00.001-04:00

Joshua & Bri are my cousin's kids - such great kids! I took these pictures while visiting them in Texas. I'll post more of them soon!

Rowen

2008-06-05T18:06:00.001-04:00

What a beautiful family! Rowen is the son of Brooke & Josh. Brooke and I have been friends for years and I was so excited to have the opportunity to take pictures of him.

Lana

2008-06-04T21:21:00.001-04:00

Lana is our cousin's new baby! She is beautiful and I look forward to taking many pictures of her over the years.

Madeline

2008-06-04T21:09:00.002-04:00

I've recently started doing pictures of kids for family & friends. Madeline is the daugher of a girl I work with. She is amazing -- I mean, look at her! I had a blast during this session and I look forward to more pictures in the future.

Ashlee & JJ

2008-06-04T19:54:00.001-04:00

Finally a website -- well, kinda:)

2008-06-04T08:37:00.001-04:00

Ok - since I don't have a website up yet, I figured I should atleast start a blog to post some of my work. I'll be adding pictures over the next month so check back often for updates.
