Bradley + Joanna | Cincinnati Wedding Photography

I feel like I said all the sentimental aunt-things in their engagement blog post. But maybe I can squeeze in just a few more.

Bradley, I’m so incredibly proud of the man you have become. I don’t get to take much credit for it but I like to think those toddler years spent watching Barney with me helped, and maybe the teenage years you spent in our youth group. But, lets be honest, most of the maturing and growing up you’ve done was by God’s grace and because of your compassion and love for others.

Joanna, I know I already sent you this text but the photo of your sister hugging you makes me weep. She + I sat and had many discussions and prayed for you so many times. I’m just so incredibly grateful for where you are now and how far you’ve come. I love you both so much and I’m so happy I got to be a part of your big day.

 

Ps. I’m going to try not to overload you on the boat pictures but….. HELLO EPIC! Shout out to Katie’s Blooms for flowering them and Lyndsay from Lake Lyndsay for supplying that gorgeous boat. Without you my boat-dreams wouldn’t have come true!

Jesse + Jazmine + Jace | Cincinnati Family Photographer

There are people in your life that you quickly realize are “your people” when you meet them. These are my people. Compared to the 33 years of my life, I haven’t even known them at long. (3 years) But it seems like forever. I loved the two of them so much already but THEN they brought this sweet little guy into the world and their family just grew more precious to me. I am so hyped to shoot a BUNCH of weddings with Jaz this year and to go exploring Havasu Falls with them next year!! IT’S GONNA BE SO FUNNNNN!! Love you bunches, fam.

Ps. How did she just have a baby 6 months ago?? Holy smoking hot friend!

Zach + Katelin | Cincinnati Engagement Photography

Zach + Katelin are getting married at The Manor House this Fall and, if their engagement session is any indication of their wedding day, it’s going to be full of love and laughter. Sure, they were probably laughing at me most of the session but I’ll be there to make them say awkward things on their wedding day too. (Whisper your favorite sandwich topping in her ear, is one of my favorites).

Hannah Class of 2018 | Cincinnati Senior Photographer

I met Hannah last year at my senior ambassador photo shoot. My niece Grace, and Hannah are good friends, they are both graduating this Fall! (Whhattt? I’m getting old.) I adore this sweet, artsy, free-spirited girl. You can’t help but smile when you’re around her. She’s full of joy and SO STINKING ADORABLE!! As you’ll see by the last picture, she comes by her beauty honestly. It was so fun to hang out with you both and I can’t wait to see how Jesus uses you in this next part of your life.

Colton Joseph | Cincinnati Newborn Photographer

The Meyer Family has had A LOT of milestones in the last year and a half! I have photographed 2 of Joey’s brother’s weddings (here + here), his brand new niece, and now this sweet babe! I am so so incredibly grateful for families who invest in my work over and over again. Colton Joseph was just a smushiest little cuddle biscuit ever. He was so sweet and content the whole time, even though I was totally bugging him. You guys made a real cute baby!! Side note: How incredibly gorgeous is this mama!? Wow, Missy with the good hair, amiright?

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.

Gabbard Family | Cincinnati Family Photographer

Jen + I have been trying to shoot their family session since November! A scheduling conflict, then rain, and then a black eye all pushed back the session until March, but we finally got it done! I’m sitting here this morning looking at snow on the ground and wishing it was as warm as this beautiful day last week. I’m so happy it worked out and I got to meet this adorable family.

Logan + Nolan are quite a pair. One is spunky and the other a little more reserved. One was cheesing for the camera and the other one hiding from me. We had so much fun exploring at Rowe Arboretum!

Michael + Natalie | Portland Wedding Photography

When Natalie wrote to me about their intimate, family-centered, Portland wedding I was so excited!! They are adorably and deeply in love. Their big day was full of emotions and personal touches that I was so honored to capture. Also, I’d just like to mention that Michael’s best man was his dad, HIS DAD!! Could they be any cuter??

Side note: Are you eloping or not located in Cincinnati? I happily travel!!

Danny + Chelsea | Cincinnati Wedding Photography

Chelsea was REALLY hoping for snow on her wedding day. Instead, we got rain. SO MUCH RAIN. I have to tell you, I wasn’t disappointed. The rain added something beautiful and special to their photos. I ADORE a bride who is down for anything, even getting her dress soaked before the ceremony. While we’re on the subject of her dress… HOLY WOW! Her groom’s reaction says it all. This dress was made for Chelsea. Congratulations, you two, your day was a perfect representation of both of you… heart-felt, sooo fun, and stunning!
