Fall is coming!!!

As I left my house today the air was crisp and something about the sway of the leaves in the wind, gave me that "ahhhh fall is coming" feeling. I just love that first feeling each season, something about it just puts a spring in my step. You see I fell in love in the fall, married my beloved four falls later and birthed both my beautiful boys in the fall. So for me, each year as the leaves begin their beautiful display and the harvest moon begins to shine, I will always be lost in the memories that have become my love story.

Also I had to get out of the house today and do something before I went nuts. So I loaded the boys up and went to the park and I think these images sum up our trip......

McDonald's diet coke $1
Sipper cup $2
Sandals to throw off at any given moment $20
The sight of bare baby toes running through the grass......priceless


I just love this one!


I think the camera just loves Mason.

Mandi and Daniel

It was so much fun getting to know you guys better! It was so cool how you had some of your own ideas and how you were willing to try all the millions of poses I bent you guys into =) One thing I did learn about you is that you guys have something beautiful and it shows in the pictures. Have fun with this preview and remember to check back soon and I should have a slide show up with more of your pictures. See you Thursday!


This was a great idea Daniel! I really like it



This one is one of my favorites!

About Me

My photo
Wife, mother, photographer based out of Dayton Ohio. Will travel =) I believe in love. I cry when I see it’s presence in photographs of people I don’t even know. I believe love can be touched with the eyes as they move across the well told story of a photograph. That’s what I want to do… I want to tell love stories with my photographs.
I know Jesus in my heart and through him I know how to change lives. All the beauty I see is because of the stability and inspiration of my home life. Family is so very important to me. They are what makes me complete, my foundation and my encouragement. It is because of them that I know a great love story while looking through a lens.
