We had a slow start to spring here in Dayton, Ohio, but it was worth the wait when the flowers and trees started to bloom. And the rows and rows of apple blossoms at Stevens Bakery & Orchard in Springfield, Ohio were absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting for a photo session. The Anthonys had […]

Last February I traveled to Amelia Island to attend the Click Away conference with Clickin Moms. It was beyond amazing to learn from various speakers, meet up with friends I’ve gotten to know through the last few years, and soak up the beautiful Florida beach! This sunset beach session was definitely one of the highlights. […]

We’ve all done it: “Say CHEESE!” In this selfie-saturated world, most kids are trained to flash that cheesy smile for the camera, or they run in the opposite direction when they see the camera. As a mom, though, I melt when I see a picture of my kids with their real smiles and laughs. The […]

This Newborn Session was extra special because I got to meet my friend Lauren in person for the first time. She and I “met” online in an amazing small group formed from a Clickin Moms photography class. Our group has watched each others’ kids gradually get bigger through out the year, celebrated milestones, comforted through […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fall is here! It’s October, one of my favorite months of the year. The weather is starting to get cooler, and I think fall is at its best – cozy sweaters, orange and red trees, and pumpkin spice. I find this time of year inspires me to get my camera out more often to capture […]

I met Eric and Carol about 11 years ago, just after my husband and I got married. We were part of a small group that met weekly, and they immediately became not just good friends but a couple we looked up to. Before kids came along, we had many late nights playing board games, trying […]

I met Suzy at a young moms brunch a few years ago after my daughter was born. Not only is she Super Mom with 4 small kids, but she is also one of the kindest and hardest working people I know. And she amazes me with the elaborate crafts she can whip up in no […]
