spring mini sessions 2024
Today is the surprising(!) first official day of spring, what a better way to remind you to sign up for the rapidly approaching mini sessions coming to you this April! I love mini sessions - for me they’re a flex of my creativity: same space, new families / couples + new ideas for each session. For you, they’re a way to get NOT stressful updated family photos for the spring.
** I have added some last minute THIS WEEK + next week slots to the goodale blooms since they’re currently blooming **
if you’re looking for a full, in home session (yes please!) here’s the booking link for my weekend openings:

A plea to the universe ;)
The best wedding days are filled with traditions that are meaningful to the couple. This couple who was married at Oak Grove at Jorgensen Farms included a gift exchange from Dungeon and Dragon friends including weapons for their DND characters. A gorgeous fall day with the best couple, best officiant (Windi Noble) and best venue in Columbus Ohio
if there’s anything I’ve learned in this business, it’s that when I share things that feel authentic and true, it attracts couples, humans, and events that feel authentic and true to what I love to shoot. Here’s a look into Cait and Pat’s Jorgensen Farms Oak Grove wedding. When we met to chat about their plans, they mentioned how each of their friends, who play in their Dungeons and Dragon campaign, that got married were gifted weapons specific to their character. Speak no more. What an amazing + unique tradition, I immediately knew our paths crossed for a reason. I love weddings for a whole lot of reasons, but the highest one up there is getting to see people embrace what is important to them + share those things with their loved ones.
so what’s my plea? bring me more of these. Authentic + honest and true to who you are type people, ready to share their love with the world! Get in touch today, and I promise to woo you with deals you can’t pass up!
jorgensen’s annual matrimony madness
Jorgensen Farms has an annual photo contest in March and these are the best images by Jessica Love Photography in columbus ohio
One of my favorite places to shoot in Columbus is Jorgensen Farms: both venues! So when they have their annual (well, it’s the SECOND one) contest to pick favorites, I spend WAY too much time looking through and judging what THEY’d consider the best. Well, clearly, all my couples are THE BEST, and I’m emotionally connected to these images. Here are some that I’m looking through to pick a favorite. Do you have one? LMK in the comments!
Spring Favorites in Columbus, Ohio
Spring is so close to springing in Columbus, Ohio. Magnolia blooms at Goodale Park are an iconic Columbus Spring Time visit. Wedding portraits taken at Goodale Park are a great way to highlight the season and the city
as basic as we get: that mid March pull to celebrate all things spring. Here are a few of my favorite shots around Columbus: Goodale Park, specifically, to welcome those blooms and sunshine with open arms! Jenn + Colin were married at The Ellis in Italian Village with gorgeous florals!
some love for winter weddings!
Wedding season can be year round, I love winter weddings in Columbus, Ohio because they’re usually more intimate, allow for interesting, unique, and awesome warm clothing. I love finding ways to get creative with locations, and also love the very directional light that comes with the season.
Winter weddings are HIGHLY underrated, in my opinion! Probably in a whole lot of people’s opinions (the wedding industry: lol). But truly let me give you my open + honest reasons that you should consider a winter wedding and probably save yourself a lot of time and hire me!
save! YOUR! money!
if you’re on your wedding search, it’s likely you already know this: but many venues will include discounts for winter weddings. Which leads me to my next point:
indoor photo options do not suck
Everything that is a little bit hard is always a little bit more rewarding when it’s successful, correct? So I look at summer weddings as gimmes: it’s easy to work with a 14 hour sun filled day…when you have to get creative with where to go and how to maximize daylight time, it’s a collaboration that feels really good to work through! And the really great part: I’ve done it all. I’ve done days that are optimized for photo time, and I’ve worked on strict schedules where we had to make our own magic (and light!)….some examples of my favorite indoor takes on a winter wedding!
