Spring is right around the corner here in Dayton, and I’m SO excited to be partnering with Stevens Bakery & Orchard in Springfield, Ohio to offer you the most gorgeous location for Apple Blossom Mini Sessions, surrounded by rows and rows of pastel blooms! This is perfect for Mother’s Day, Easter, or just because – […]

Winter can be cold and grey in Dayton, Ohio, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun, beautiful family session! And I love how this lifestyle session with the Minor family turned out! Doing an in-home session helps everyone feel that much more at ease and comfortable. Because, really, it’s impossible not to have […]

March is finally here (my birthday month!), and I’m excited to share what we’ve been up to lately. This time of year tends to be a little quieter as freezing temperatures, snow days, and cold/flu season force us to be home more often, which is actually good for my introverted soul. We have had a […]

When my friend, Leigh, asked me to take pictures of their new family of six, I was beyond excited to capture this special time in their lives. It doesn’t matter how many kids you already have, bringing a baby home is such a wonderful, crazy, exhausting, and memorable time. I remember with my babies, there […]

I was crossing my fingers for good weather for Emily and Joshua’s family session, and we were blessed with such warm weather for December! We met at Carl & Dorthy Young’s Christmas Tree Farm and had so much fun playing with jingle bells and chasing each other through the rows of Christmas trees! Having 4 […]

Happy New Year from cold, freezing Ohio! We are having a Snow Day here since school is canceled due to cold temperatures, so I’m typing up my 5 Things I’ve Loving Lately while I watch the kids play in the snow. I’m sure I’ll need to go make some hot chocolate soon. December was a […]

It’s December, and the most wonderful time of the year! I feel like I say it every month, but November flew by. It was full of apples, pumpkins, illness – all four of us got the cold or flu the week of Thanksgiving, time with friends and family, and gratitude for the many blessings in […]

It’s another month, and another Friday Faves! I can’t believe it’s November already – I’m still wondering where August went! It has been a busy but fun fall season so far for us. It has been a particularly warm month, so we have spent lots of days outside playing, riding bikes, hiking, picking pumpkins, and […]

As soon as you meet Emily and Seth, you can see their love, friendship, and commitment to each other. As high school sweethearts, they were just meant to be together, and I had so much fun documenting this special phase in their lives, where everything is just a little brighter and sweeter. No more saying […]

This past month has been a busy one –  fall photo sessions, getting into the school and homework routine, soccer games, piano practicing, and a 7th birthday! I think this time of year is the perfect blend of the some of the best parts of summer and fall. We are soaking up the last days […]
