Stillwater River Couples Session | Englewood, Ohio | Danny + Carolyn

  Daniel and Carolyn, OMG. These two are madly in love and this gallery proves it. They made my job easy and stayed latched onto eachother the entire time. My favorite part was the constant laughing with breaks of quiet and intimate affection shared between them. We were hoping for this hard rainfall that was supposed […]

Englewood Metro Park Engagement Session | Englewood, Ohio | Tyler + Bailey

  Hellllo summer! Ohio’s unpredictable weather is in full swing and this session almost didn’t happen! It was supposed to storm pretty bad from 7p-9p, the exact time of our session. I told them I wasn’t going to cancel unless it started to rain, plus they were around the corner so they weren’t too far […]

Englewood Metro Park Engagement Session | Englewood, Ohio | Megan and Cameron

  Megan and Cameron are BACK! You might have seen their gorgeous fall + stormy session a handful of galleries back, but they are back with a woodland feel. These two needed pictures and I desperately wanted to shoot a different look, so it was perfect timing. So, they let me styled them and what […]

Kananaskis Country Engagement Session | Alberta, Canada | Jeremy + Amanda

  Jeremy and Amanda came down two hours to shoot in Kananaskis Country in Banff on a beautiful April afternoon. They drove their own 1969 Cherolet Chevelle and brought their doggo and little one. This kick ass 70’s inspired session could not have been more perfect.

Portraits

Englewood Metro Park Portrait Session | Dayton, Ohio | Emily + Cassie

  Emily and Cassie are bestfriends who wanted to just have a fun session together. July in Ohio, you know it was a hot and humid session. We found a small wildflower prairie and shot at sunset, which was still a scorcher. Their session gave me a total Lana Del Rey vibe and I played […]

Wedding

The Grand Barn at The Mohicans styled Elopement | Glenmont, Ohio | Cody + Samantha

  This was one of those themed and artsy styled shoot. Put on by local vendors, this Viking inspired shoot was smack dab in the middle of the woods outside of The Grand Barn at The Mohicans. This place is just a giant treehouse for adults and gorgeous even in the middle of January. Samantha […]

Carriage Hill MetroPark Couples Session | Huber Heights, Ohio | Cameron + Megan

  Megan and Cam aren’t engaged, yet. We did this fun couples session when they realized they didn’t have any photos together. We were a little nervous going into the session as a huge storm was due to roll through during our session, yay Ohio! We are so glad we shot anyway because between the […]

Engagement

Englewood MetroPark Engagement Session | Englewood, Ohio | TJ + Mallary

  These two! I was in their mountain top wedding in the beautiful Asheville, NC. They weren’t happy with their wedding photos so they ended up booking a quick couples session while they were in town to relighten their spirits until they could take new bridal portraits.

Engagement

John Bryan State Park Engagement Session | Yellow Springs, Ohio | Makenzie + Dustin

  Heck ya! I must get all the fun couples because Makenzie and Dustin were a giggly and laughing duo. They danced and frolicked through John Bryan State Park in the dead of winter and still made me feel the warm and fuzzys. Dustin races while Makenzie cheers him on, so it was so much […]
