STEPHANIE and ROB-Youngstown Ohio Wedding

Here is a sneak peek from Stephanie and Rob's beautiful wedding day in Youngstown! We started out at St. Catherine's for their beautiful ceremony. After some photos at the church, everyone loaded up in the limo and we then headed to Mill Creek Park for some photos. I have to say, in the last year it has become one of my favorite photo spots--I just wish it was a little closer to home! We stopped at the Silver Bridge--which I just recently learned is also known as the "Cinderella Bridge," which was so fitting for a wedding day stop. Next, we headed to the gardens. I had not experienced Mill Creek in the spring--and it did not disappoint--absolutely beautiful!

After photos at Mill Creek, we headed to Avion on the Water for the reception. The reception site was decorated beautifully--lots of pink and lots of candles--two of my favorites! With a fabulous dinner, followed up by a huge cookie buffet--everyone was ready to dance the night away. Their DJ was Tony Tonite and he kept the party going and the dance floor full all night long! A perfect wedding day!

JASON-Senior Session

I had so much fun working with Jason and his mom for his senior session! I did Jason's sister's senior photos several years ago, so it was great to get to work with Jason too--he's entertaining and very photogenic--a great combination in my book! We had an absolutely perfect spring day with lots of sunshine and warm temps. We hit some of my favorite local spots, and got some great photos. Other than Jason's slight injury at the beginning of the session, it was a perfect day!

COREY and MILES-Op Love Session-Newark Ohio photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing an Operation Love-Reunited pre-deployment session with Corey and Miles. Corey was lucky enough to make it home on leave to celebrate Miles' first birthday. I got to meet them a few days after the celebration and got to capture some moments between father and son before Corey headed back overseas. It was a pleasure to meet the family and get to capture a few special moments to help keep the memories of time spent together fresh, while daddy's away!

AUDREY, LIAM and ANDREW-German Village photography

I was so excited to get a call from one of my favorite clients and getting the opportunity to meet the new addition to their family. I love getting to keep up with all of the changes and new members of my client's families. We photographed Holly and Greg's wedding back in 2003--and I have had the pleasure of photographing their kids--and when she called and asked me to come and photograph their new addition--the adorable Audrey, I was thrilled! All three are just as cute as can be. I had a great time catching up with Holly--and loved working with the cuties. The only sad part of the whole thing is finding out that they are relocating to San Diego. We had to do a photo of all three of the kids on their front porch swing--the same place that we took one of their favorite wedding photos--kind of a "then" and ''now." I wish them all the best & hope to stay in touch--maybe a California photo session?
