Alex + Olivia | French Park Cincinnati Photographer

Uhhhhh ok you two, just so much cute.

Olivia said at the beginning of our session that Alex wasn’t too sure about engagement photos but, can we just pause a second and say, HE WAS THE CUTEST! So sweet and totally down for all of my interactive prompts. Usually guys look at me like I’m totally ridiculous when I tell them things like, “Ok, let’s do a piggy back ride but run towards me”… and then I yell, “OK SPIN SPIN!!!” but Alex was down for it all. And then let’s add the completely gorgeous Olivia on top of that, along with the best sunset I’ve had in weeks and you’ve got yourself a perfect engagement session with an amazing couple. If this is any indication of your wedding next year, it’s going to be THE BEST!!

 

Kylie | Cincinnati Senior Photographer French Park

Kylie’s mom paid me the biggest compliment by asking me to photographer her daughter’s senior photos. You see, Tara is also a photographer and totally could have done them herself. Instead, she trusted me and enjoyed the day! It means the world to me when others this business ask me to capture their memories.

Now on to Kylie…Hello BEAUTIFUL!! Not only is she gorgeous but she’s so sweet and totally down for anything. She never batted an eye at the crazy things I asked her to do or even at the fact that it was misting/raining through our whole session. To be 18 again and look this fabulous amidst the rain. You two were the best! Thanks for being such troopers.

Brad + Robyn +Hayden + Colin + Caleb | Cincinnati Photographer French Park

Parent’s with boys know how photo sessions go. I mean, just last week we took our family photos and it started with bribery and threats. They just don’t get on board. However, I like to think I have tons of fun with my family session and, even when parents are worried about their kiddo cooperating we end up with beautiful, fun, and REAL family photos. The Alvis family was no exception. These three boys were spunky and so silly and we ended up with perfectly imperfect photos (and a few perfect ones too!).

Hugo + Michelle + Baby Girl | Cincinnati Maternity Photographer

Sometimes when I meet people I’m like, “Ohmygosh, will you be my best friend?” No, joke these two (three!) humans are so funny and genuine I just want to hang out with them. Their kid is going to be extra cool and extra loved. We laugh SO much during our session and just had a blast getting to know each other. Here’s to hoping I’m in town when she has this sweet baby girl so I can come photograph her adorable little face at the hospital.

Side note: HOLY COW Michelle is gorgeous and all belly at 8 months prego.

Weimer Family| Cincinnati Family Photographer

The Weimer family is just as sweet as can be. I had such a great time getting to know each of them + capturing their different personalities. I’m SOOOOO happy to be shooting outdoors again. Spring, you are incredibly welcome here in Ohio. Please stick around.

Taylor + Steve | Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

A few weeks ago I shot my very first styled shoot. I’ve seen plenty of other styled shoots but the thing that really drew me into this one was the theme. Evergreen!! I am obsessed with greenery. Give me all the green weddings! So, yeah, I was totally in. Christine did an amazing job organizing this beautiful shoot and all of the vendors (listed at the bottom) were incredible. If you are a future bride and you are reading this, GO TO THEIR INSTAGRAMS! You’ll be amazed by the talent that was represented. Ok ok. enough rambling you’re here for the pretty!
