Abby and Levi

I had the sweetest baby session! First let me tell you a little about the moms. Rebekah and Tracey have been friends forever! The fact that their friendship has endured through the tough times speaks to my heart. When I see them together it is clear that they have found peace and comfort with each other. The Lord is surely a wonderful God to allow us to have such friends. Another really precious thing about this session: Abby and Levi were born on the same day! How funny is that!
Here is the preview as promised:

Because I'm sure these two will end up being two peas in a pod!

Who doesn't love a boy in bib overalls!


I just loved this one!



Every mother that has ever taken children to get pictures will appreciate this one ;)

Ohh Rebekah... Maddie's eyes kill me!

This is soooo describes Izak


Love this one!


And this one


Special thanks to Cathy for helping me make the tutu!~

Amanda and Daniel's wedding

What can I say about this wedding... it rocked my socks off that's what! The ceremony took place at Charity Baptist Church . You just couldn't ask for a better crowd to do a wedding with, of course this could be a little parshall considering it's my church =). Love my church! That was a paid announcement brought to us by Pasotor Gresham, OK OK JUST KIDDING. Seriously though check out the church's web site.
Back to the wedding. Mandy you are a sweetheart and I loved working with you. My favorite part of the whole wedding had to be when you entered the door on your Dad's arm and tears were pouring, and then Daniel saw you and I could just feel the emotion as he sobbed as well. You guys made the photographer cry!! It was just the best reaction I've seen all year! Loved the fall colors, loved that Daniel's entire family had a part in the wedding and I absolutly adored the song he sang to you. WOW he really did a good job!
Ok it's very tired and I'm late =-) Here are a few of my favs! Have fun and leave me a comment at the bottom of this post! Hope you're having fun in Florida!
oh and keep checking I should have the slide show up in a few days


I think think this place will be my new salon, they did a great job!
These girls looked great!

Mandy, this one's for you! ;) Not a cloud in the sky! Just like we prayed


Check out these beautiful brown eyes!


Can you believe this is Daniel's Mom who by the way has 6 children still looks this good!
My favorite!
I like this one it seems so sweet

Alissa and Dale's slide show

Alissa and Dale

When Alissa contacted me about her wedding, I just knew that she would be a great person to photograph! She was so easy to talk to and we had an instant connection! I love it when that happens. Then it was so great to met he fiance and see that he was just as personable, (although Alissa and I had to double team him on the smiling issue) lol. Altogether, just a really great engagement session and really great people!
So here is a preview for you guys and I should have the proofs up later today.

Alissa! He smiled!

And he looks so nice when he does

Might just be the photographer in me, but I love this one

What a great sexy picture

Ok I'll give it to him he can pull off a really good serious look

Any woman that loves her shoes is a friend in my book =)LOVE this one!

Saturday's Wedding!

Saturday's wedding took place at Nottingham United Methodist church in Cleveland Ohio. What a great place for a wedding! Right down to the furniture and I loved that this was the couples' home church and basically where they fell in love. How sweet is that! I love weddings in sentimental locations. It was about a 3 and 1/2 hour drive and I didn't have a single problem along the way. I am so thankful for the protection of God's hand.
Also I knew when I first talked to Caitlin, that this would be a fun wedding. What a kind group of family and friends! I didn't even feel like an outsider. Thanks a bunch guys for welcoming me and making me comfortable!
If you are tracking the progress of this wedding, keep checking back and I should have a preview up in a couple of days and a slide show will follow. When the proofs are complete I will place them on my proof site. So keep checking and if you need anything just send me a message!

P.S. I'll see you all again in a few weeks for Molly's wedding, who by the way CRACKED me up at the reception! I'll post more about the reception later.
Ok gotta go finish up so here is a little sneak peek for Caitlin! Wasn't she just amazingly beautiful!

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.
