Christina and Josh are by far one of the most adventurous couples I have shot to date. They arrived to their sunrise session at Hayden Run Falls on one of the chilliest winter mornings. There was frost everywhere and we could see our breath in the air, but that didn’t dull their enthusiasm in the slightest. They cuddled together closer as we shot to keep warm and they so naturally laughed and played with each other as their love for each other came to life in front of the camera.

My goodness – I love these two. You can tell that they’re not only the sweetest couple, but the best of friends. Danielle and Aaron are the most genuine – in their love for each other and in their love for the Lord. Their relationship is a beautiful celebration of the faithfulness of Christ in their lives and you can tell that sacrifice and faithfulness are the foundation of their love.

My session with Brooke and Seth was just so much fun. We met up in the German Village district and spent the evening laughing as we walked the streets of downtown Columbus. They showed me their victory handshake they do when Ohio State scores a touchdown, Seth made Brooke twirl him in the middle of the sidewalk, and I definitely fangirled over them enough that Seth was rolling his eyes at me pretty consistently by the end of their session.

Hanna + Jonny are one of the most gentle, genuine couples I have ever met. They danced together in the wildflowers as the sun set in John Bryan State Park, a local nature reserve in Yellow Springs, Ohio, outside of Dayton. They recently got engaged after dating for years, and their outdoor engagements are warm, playful, and sweet – just like the two of them. I loved spending the evening capturing their precious love for each other. Congratulations Hanna and Jonny!

These cutie lovers made my heart SWOON during their sunset session in Cedarville, Ohio. As they laughed and played, their tender love for each other was so highly evident. Leslie kept giggling as she teasingly tickled her boyfriend and he worked hard (unsuccessfully) to keep a stoic face despite her antics. They are simply so comfortable together and cherish one another so well.

To every single individual, family, couple, or senior who trusted me to document your special moments this year, thank you. Truly. You make this dream of mine a reality and I could not be more deeply thankful for the honor of being chosen to capture and preserve your memories.  

2017, you’ve been a dream. 

This wedding day was the most uniquely beautiful day. The bride and groom were the sweetest, most genuine couple. When my second shooter Alyssa (of Alyssa Masters Photography) and I met the couple for the first time, they instantly made us feel at home. The day was full of celebration and the atmosphere was joyous, upbeat, quirky, and fun. Drew and Michaila, we could not be more thrilled for the two of you to begin your life together. Enjoy all the precious details of their lovely day, held in the most intimate historic warehouse.

Oh my lantaaaaa Georgia. These two. This day. Her dress. What a dream. This was six months after Hayley and Caleb said “I do” in a precious ceremony in Oregon, Wisconsin. While they loved their wedding day, the day was full of rain and the timeline was rushed, so they wanted to celebrate their six month anniversary with more bridal portraits. They exuded pure joy and their sweet, newly-married intimacy made our time together effortless.

This day and this couple were both simply breathtaking. We adventured through downtown Columbus, OH, stopping to drink lattes and eat the MOST amazing cinnamon rolls ever at a precious local coffee shop, Fox in the Snow Cafe. Our wanderings then took us further into downtown to North Market, home to many local small business makers and growers, where they “adopted” a cheese baby together and admired the view of Ohio’s capital city. The prettiest view, though, was by far these two and their precious love for each other. You can see the gentleness in Jon’s love for Alyssa and her passionate love for him in every frame. This day was a dream.

I had the joy of photographing this sweet couple tonight. Hayden and Gracie have been dating since they were in high school and are finally getting ready to tie the knot in summer 2018. This evening we explored a state park as the sun set, these two lovers cuddling to stay warm as they laughed and talked together. Tonight was absolutely magical.
