Carmen + Zach, the Wedding!

Two of my favorite people!

What a BEAUTIFUL wedding, and a beautiful day for the outdoor ceremony and reception. We had SO much fun, all of their friends and family are wonderful people. I am glad that I got to be a part of the excitement and the crowd.

I am trying something new, and putting their slideshow right in the blog. Hope this works... Let me know what you think!!!

The Dogs

Sometimes my dogs let me experiment and practice photo techniques on them. (...sometimes they don't!)

Pretty fun. :)

Here are a few from today. Buddy did really well - he is very motivated by treats.





Sammy did well for a little bit, but was quickly tired of my idea of fun. Cute anyway!
(and YES, we really do feed her. An endless supply of energy apparently makes you thin.)

Sophia & Juliette

Meet my friends, Sophie and Juliette. Aren't they adorable???! We had a great time playing in the backyard!

I am amazed at how big Sophie is getting. I'm pretty sure she was about her sister's size, just a few minutes ago - and now she's FOUR.

Check out their slideshow, here!

Tiffany + George, The Engagement

We met with Tiffany and George last weekend for their engagement photos, at Homestead Park in Hilliard. I love that park!

I had the privilege of shooting Tiffany's sister's wedding last year. I am SO excited that we are shooting Tiffany and George's wedding this year! I always feel like I know the families and the couples so well after their wedding, and it is so sad that I don't get to see them much after their wedding day.

Anyway, Here are a few of my favorites from their session - (Make sure to check out the rest of their images, in their slideshow!)

Matt's Senior Portraits

I met with Matt a week or so ago, for his senior portraits. Here are a few of my favorites!

Check out the rest in his slideshow!
Thanks again for coming in, Matt!

Melissa + OJ, The Wedding!

Melissa and OJ were married a few weeks ago, in a BEAUTIFUL outdoor ceremony, under a huge tent. How fun to see so many of their friends and family gathered to celebrate with them! Click here to see their slideshow!
