I have been so lucky so far this summer to have had absolutely beautiful weather for each of my weddings! Abby and Derek’s Chillicothe, Ohio wedding was no exception, and as you can see from this sampling images from their wedding, the day was just lovely! Big congratulations to you, Abby & Derek!

I really love this picture, it’s so touching to see this kind of emotion behind the bride’s eyes as she walks down the aisle toward her new husband.


Abby & Derek chose the Adena Mansion in Chillicothe as a site for some of their portraits following the ceremony.





The reception was held at The Madison, which is the old post office and former Landmark Christian Academy in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. This was my first event at the new Madison, and I am sure I will be photographing many receptions there in the future as this is a wonderful location!


I recently did a fun photo session with sisters Danielle and Simone. Not only are these little girls absolutely adorable, but they have the the warmest, most bubbly little personalities which really show through in their images. I had a great time shooting them!




I’m a little behind in posting Abby and Derek’s e-session images, since I just photographed their beautiful wedding last weekend! Nevertheless, following are a few of my favorite photos from their engagement session. I’ll be posting a preview of their wedding in a few days, so stay tuned!


I have been photographing little Addison since she was in her mommy’s belly, and I’m happy now to post a few adorable shots to mark her first birthday! It’s amazing how quickly time passes, and hard to believe that I will be photographing my own little one in a few short months!



I had a fun photo session in Chillicothe a few weeks ago with Angela, Mark, and Chris. It was a very breezy, but beautiful spring day, and the photos turned out just lovely! Angela mentioned that she and her family were moving into a new home, so she was excited to order some large wall prints, which turned out so nice!

Many of my clients are already aware of this, however, since finding out what we’re having I thought that this was a great time to make the official announcement on the blog that I am pregnant! I am 21 weeks, and we are expecting a baby boy in August. We could really not be more overjoyed!
I am feeling fantastic, and will be shooting and booking portrait sessions through mid-July.

It’s probably a little early to be posting embarrassing photos of my son on the internet (see ultrasound photo on the right), but, being the lover-of-photography that I am, I just couldn’t resist.!
While most of my business comes in the form of family portraits, children, babies, seniors, and weddings, I also occasionally shoot professional headshots for actors. Free flowing lifestyle portrait sessions are a great creative alternative for actors looking for headshots that really spotlight their personality. I had a great time shooting Elizabeth, and I am looking forward to seeing where her new career path will take her!



As usual, I am so busy with the shooting and editing side of the business that I have neglected to post all of the wonderful session images captured over the past few months. So, for your viewing pleasure, here are a few shots of Adie’s senior session which was shot on one of the last sunny days of the fall season. This session was shot at her family home near Grove City, Ohio. The property and house were just perfect for the mood that I was trying to capture!



Boy oh boy, am I behind! I have several sessions to post, starting with Valerie and Billy’s engagement session photos! Valerie and Billy really wanted to do their session in the snow, and while it wasn’t the snowiest day of the winter, we did luck out by having a little bit of the white stuff on the ground at least. Our shoot took place on a very cold and windy day, but I think you can see that the warmth of their connection still managed to show through beautifully!
I am looking forward to shooting Valerie and Billy’s wedding in October!

Someone really needs to smack me on the fingers for not blogging these beautiful sessions much sooner. Following are some of the amazing moments captured and Keith and Lacie’s beautiful wedding from October. They were married on the most gorgeous autumn day, probably the last really beautiful day of the fall last year. Perfect timing!
Also, just a note to my potential wedding clients out there, my spring/summer 2009 is getting extremely full at this time, so please contact me soon if you would like to book your special day!
