JANIENE and GARRETT-Wedding



















It was so much fun capturing Janiene and Garrett's special day at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. We photographed Janiene's sister's wedding a few years ago in Columbus, so I was happy to get a call from Janiene with her big news--and excited to head to Cleveland! I love visiting Cleveland, but had never had the opportunity to visit the museums at Western Reserve before. The first thing I thought of when we entered and started walking around was how much the boys would love the place. It's a wealth of historic items from the Western Reserve area. It's definitely a return destination! Janiene and Garrett got ready in one of the mansions and were planning on having their wedding ceremony in the garden. Ohio weather being what it is, we got rain and that moved everything into the gallery. We did have a small window of time to go out into the garden and grab a few photos--which made me happy--the gardens are especially beautiful!

After the ceremony, it was party time and time to move into the Crawford Auto Museum for the cocktail hour. This gave all of Janiene and Garrett's guests the chance to walk around the museum and check out all of the totally cool cars in the collection. I did find out that their event was the last to be held in the auto museum for at least a year. It's going to be closed for renovation--which is kind of a bummer--the boys would love that too!

After cocktail hour, it was time to head upstairs for dinner and dancing. The dance floor was jam-packed the whole evening. Janiene and Garrett's wedding will definitely be a unique wedding to remember for all their friends and family. I'm happy we were able to be a part and capture some of the beauty and fun!

SARAH and TRAVIS-Wedding at Tall Timbers











Sarah and Travis had an absolutely incredible day for their wedding. The wedding and ceremony were at Tall Timbers in Reynoldsburg. The ceremony was outdoors and it could not have been a more beautiful day. After the ceremony we did some more photos, then headed in for lunch and the celebration. Since we were a little crunched for photo time after the ceremony, I convinced Sarah, Travis and the wedding party to head outside for a few more photos while everyone else finished up. I think it was well worth the extra time and effort. We got some great romantic photos under the trees and at the playground at the church next door, then we got them back in to share in the rest of the day's festivities and dancing Everyone was such a pleasure to work with--we really enjoyed the day. I hope every day is as beautiful as your wedding day!

CHRISTINA-Senior










Here is a quick sneak peek from Christina's senior session. We wandered all around Baltimore and found some really cool spots. I also found the house of my dreams--but that's another story altogether. I don't think Christina expected to run around as much or as long as we did. She was exhausted by the end of the session--but it was worth it--I think so anyway, and I'm pretty sure she'll agree. We got some awesome senior pics and had a great afternoon doing it!

CAMDEN-6 Month Session








Here's a sneak peek from Camden's 6 month session. He's such a sweet and happy little guy. I can't believe how much he has grown since I saw him last. He's got quite the personality! It's always a pleasure to get to work with his mom and dad too!
