an engagement session at Otherworld Ohio

I’ve already shared these a bit over on Instagram, but when I found myself saving 70 photos over a 1.5 hour photo shoot, I think they’re also deserving of a permanent place on my blog.

I can’t really explain what a joy this session was to shoot. It was the perfect amount of direction / taking total creative freedom to do whatever I could….and Cat + Chris were just THE perfect couple for it. They were playful without prompting, and patient with my needing to make sure their photos wouldn’t be purely black! Enjoy! and, as I don’t think I’ve ever said it before: I’m up for anything when it comes to shooting. NOTHING is off limits to ask me if I’m down for - I’ll probably love you forever if you let me have an experience that’s unique, and truly you!

another round of things I'm digging

there’s like a constant pressure to do all the things, and you know, I’m just not ready to blog some of the sessions I’ve recently shot because I feel like I certainly haven’t hyped them up enough. SO here we are on a Tuesday and we’re going to look through some of the things my eyeballs are getting stuck on - with awe + deep desire for warmer weather (!) through these last few cold weeks. ENJOY!

sweet William

Well hello! It’s been a while! It seems right to update my blog to include a new family session as I’ve revamped + put in work on my family section of this space. WHY THO? Because I’ve mostly spent the past 3 years overloaded with wedding work…reluctantly saying no to extra families…but I’m back. As my own family life changes, and I want to be more present on weekends, but still work, families present a great option. But, let’s be real, who will hire a lady without work to show for it! I was connected to this sweet family through flowers - she took some of my tuber babies last summer + we’ve shot two sessions since. I love this family + keep mentioning it, but it’s just so fun to revisit the “baby years” now that we’re “out of them” haha. Spent the last few minutes once we had stopped shooting reading a book to Grace because, while being a big sister is fun? It’s also nice to get some individual attention from a new person in your house :)

as you can see, my newborn sessions are VERY lifestyle and organic. I will get sweet photos of you + your baby, but I will not stuff your baby into a basket or physically impossible - photoshopped only - poses :) If you’re interested in chatting about newborn sessions, get in touch!

an amazing summer day at Revery

I cannot WAIT to be back here a bunch this summer and Fall! One of my favorite place to shoot!

a March Wedding G I V E A W A Y

For the next week, I’m giving away (this gets confusing, I realize, which is why it’s here, and also originally on my instagram to enter!):

a free hour of wedding coverage // a free engagement session // $350 credit towards an album

Confused much? So here’s the breakdown of who gets what….

inquire and book me for your wedding in 2022 or 2023 and get a free hour of wedding coverage

currently have me booked for your 2022 or 2023 wedding and get a free engagement session OR album credit

if I’ve already shot your wedding, then get $350 towards an album that I’ll help design with you!

I think that explains it, but if you still have questions please feel free to use the contact me or email me to sort things out!

Theresa + James | Married at North 4th Corridor Brick + Mortar

If you’re not new to my online presence, you know I thrive off the sun, and all all things light. Well, this January day: full of overcast and foggy skies might have forever changed what I look for on a winter wedding day. It was….perfect. A grey day filled with the warmth of the brick of this venue was just the vibe Theresa + James were going for.

I love winter weddings. LOVE. Enjoy viewing their day through my lens!

and then, with winter and all, we popped over to the Smith Bros building + up to Revere to shoot some more bridal party + portrait couple photos.
