Senior Portraits: Austin

We did this photoshoot at one of local our metroparks, which is one of my favorite places to photograph.

Christmas Portraits: Family T

Family photography is one of my favorite things to shoot and I enjoy trying to capture all the different dynamics going one when you gather people who love each other together. This holiday setup was the perfect backdrop for some Christmas spirit!

Birth Photography: Baby Avery

I recently did a newborn birth photography session with sweet baby Avery. Unfortunately, the hospital where she was delivered at did not allow photography in the delivery room – something every mother should ask ahead of time before scheduling with me!

Luckily, I was able to visit with her when she was just a couple of hours old to take some “After Birth” photographs that her parents will cherish for the rest of her life. Capturing moments like meeting the grandparents and her big sisters for the first time are moments you can never get back and I am so honored to play this role for a growing family. After Birth sessions are becoming increasingly more popular and I got her at the perfect “awake” time where she was alert and mostly happy.

Such a little sweetheart!

Newborn Portraits: Baby Z

Our closest friends had their first baby last month and we could not be more excited for them and their growing family! I had the honor of taking some photographs of this precious little man when he was just one week old. Can you tell he’s going to be a Cleveland sports fan one day? I’m pretty sure he has the sweetest little face!

Senior Portraits: Taylor

Taylor is my latest in Senior Portraits and I’m loving the way this girly-girl’s pictures came out! She was so playful with the camera and extremely easy to shoot with – definitely makes my job and editing so much easier!

Senior Portraits: Ashley

It’s already September and with the fresh start to another school year, the Class of 2014 seniors already have graduation on the brain. My first set of Senior Portraits for 2014 was with Ashley who wanted to mix her country roots and some city flair.

Maternity Portraits: The Schneiders

The Schneiders recently had their first baby, a little girl, and I was fortunate enough to have shot their maternity photographs just a week before she was born. We shot this at the local metropark where the flowers and landscaping were in full bloom and I just love how much their love for each and and Baby Girl shine through these final pictures!

Family Portraits: April & Logan

Family photogragphy is one of my favorite areas to shoot and I love getting candid, natural interactions between people who obviously love each other very much. April and Logan were the perfect pair to shoot out on their family orchard!

Senior Portraits: Aaron

I recently did a Senior Portrait photoshoot with Aaron, who is graduating this spring. We went to the  gardens at the local Metroparks in late April and luckily nature was just starting to turn green for us.  To bring some personality into his shoot, he brought along his favorite beanie hat, which turned out to be my favorite shots!

Poses by Erica Traster Yoga

I did another photoshoot with my lovely friend at Erica Traster Yoga and this time she was looking for yoga poses in her studio space. It was a great place to shoot and there was a large window that allowed in tons of natural light…a photographer’s best friend. We took over 500 shots and here are a few of my favorites – I am loving the way these turned out!
