Riley's First Christmas


Riley's First Christmas

This was my niece Riley's first Christmas. She got the cutest Christmas bloomers that said HO HO HO on the back side from her great grandma Alta. We just had to do a mini photo shoot with the bloomers in front of the Christmas tree. Here are some of my favorites:

🌻 A Legacy in Bloom: Taylor’s Senior Session

A Legacy in Bloom: Taylor’s Senior Session Ellis Park, Yellow Springs There are moments in life that feel like poetry — quiet, powerful, and full of meaning. Taking senior pictures is something I’ve always loved, but this session with Taylor was something truly special. It wasn’t just about capturing a milestone; it was about honoring a legacy. Our first location was a peaceful pond, nestled beneath the gentle sweep of a weeping willow tree. The air was calm, the water still, and the whole scene radiated serenity. It reminded me so much of Taylor — graceful, grounded, and quietly strong. I knew instantly that we had to take pictures there. It felt like the perfect reflection of her spirit. 🌻  The second location was a sunflower field, bursting with color and life. Sunflowers always turn toward the light, and being surrounded by them felt like standing in the middle of hope. It was a place that reminded us of both the past and the future — of growth, resilience, and the beauty of w...

Taylor + Anthony Engagement Pictures at  Twin Creek Metro Park One of my favorite couples became engaged on top of a foggy mountain in North Carolina. When I received the ring picture, I knew I couldn't wait to take their engagement pictures and could hardly hold back my excitement.  Taylor shared with me that they will be having an elopement before heading back to the mountains for their ceremony in October 2026 and she found the perfect location. A meadow over looking the country near Germantown called Twin Creeks Metro Park. When we arrived, the place is gorgeous and the sun was starting to set for the perfect background.  After a few key shots with the meadow and sun setting in the background, we decide to take a "short" hike on the blue trail. None of us had done this hike before and thought it looked great for pictures. Little did we know that the trail was a mile long, through unmaintained foliage, in the sweltering heat. Taylor in her beautiful flowing dress and p...

Christopher and Alianna

Christopher and Alianna James Ranch Park : Xenia, Ohio   I had the absolute joy of photographing my two favorite kiddos a few weeks ago, and it was pure magic! Every week, I get to see these sweet faces at the gym while Natalie rocks her cheer and tumbling classes—it’s hands-down the highlight of my week. And getting to be their photographer too? Total icing on the cake. These moments fill my heart and remind me exactly why I love doing what I do. 💫📸 Christopher cracks me up—getting a genuine smile from him can be a bit of a challenge, but wow, did he bring the personality! Ham it up, kiddo! 😄 And yes, the deal still stands: one more smile for the camera and you get to sit on Natalie’s lap and play Roblox. Fair trade, right?   Miss Alianna might just be the cutest baby I’ve ever laid eyes on! Watching her start to stand and take those wobbly little steps is the sweetest thing. Her giggly personality could melt anyone’s heart. I seriously can’t wait to see her grow up—she’s ...
