Jesse + Jazmine + Jace | Cincinnati Fresh 48 Birth Photographer

There is something about the Fresh 48 sessions that I can’t get enough of. They’re raw, and real, and unpolished. No one is at their best, yet everyone looks so beautiful. Hospital rooms often seem cold and uninviting, but when they are bursting with new love they’ve never seemed warmer or more snuggly to me. It never ever fails, as I go through images of births and Fresh 48 sessions tear well up in my eyes. As my babies grow up those 2 days in the hospital will always be something I cherish, feelings that are nearly impossible to put into words. I like to think photos can do that feeling a little more justice.

 

Trent + Shawna + Calvin + Jonas | Cincinnati Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

I was told recently when you have friends who become family, they’re called your framily. Well, these 4 are definitely our framily. I just love them so much and I’m so thankful for their new sweet boy, Jonas. Bonus: He’s SUUUPER cute! Love you guys, thanks for trusting me to photograph your babe, I know how much you all adore having your picture taken.

Bradley + Joanna | Cincinnati Engagement Photographer

This boy made me an aunt for the first time. I was 11 when he was born, the perfect babysitting age as he grew. I MAYYYY have even saved his life when he was choking on a sucker at the age of 3. And Joanna, who would have thought after all these years of being your youth leaders, your pastors, and your friends we would end up family? No one but Jesus saw this beautiful connection coming. It all boils down to this, I love you both so much and I’m so excited to see what Jesus does through your marriage. And I’m totally NOT tearing up as I’m blogging these images of your love.

Jordan + Shelbey | Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

When you quote Homestar Runner to a bride + groom and they quote it right back. That’s when you know these are your kind of people. Thanks for knowing obscure online cartoon references from 2002, you guys are the best! Also, can we just talk about how stinking adorable every little detail is? And Shelbey’s DRESS?!?! Are you serious right now?

Danny + Chelsea | Cincinnati Engagement Photographer

Danny + Chelsea have been together for nine years and have never had professional photos taken! When Chelsea told me she wanted to do their photos in and around Danny’s home I was so excited. Engagement sessions should be all about the way you interact and capturing your love and I think there is no better way to do that than in a place where you are most comfortable. They are absolutely the most adorable couple and I cannot wait until their winter wedding in a few short months!

  Holy eyeballs, Chelsea!!! Gorgeous.

Jeremy + Amanda + Adilyn + Jase | Cincinnati Newborn Photographer

I adore shooting newborn session inside your home. It’s so personal and comfortable for the whole family! Jase is absolutely beautiful and looks so much like big sister when we did her newborn session! Time is rude so don’t forget to hold on to these moments. Thanks for inviting me back into your home to capture your sweet new boy, Zimmerman family!

The many faces of Miss Adilyn.

Bradley + Hillary | Cincinnati Engagement Photography

I can’t wait to photograph Bradley + Hillary’s wedding day next year! You see, I will feel right at home among her family having shot her sister’s wedding 2 years ago and her cousin’s wedding 3 years ago. There’s something so special and completely humbling about being inviting back again and again to capture a sweet family’s major milestones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Hannah, Emily, Hillary, and all of your lovely parents for entrusting me with these beautiful moments. I can’t wait to meet Bradley’s family, if they’re anything like he is we’re going to have the best day!

 

Dustin + Nicole | Cincinnati Wedding Photography

Dustin + Nicole adore dogs, horses, the country, and each other. I think it’s so beautiful that they were able to incorporate so many things and people that they cherish into their special day. But their love for each other is the element that stood out most evidently to all of us in attendance. They are both beautiful humans inside & out and we were honored to be a part of this day that will forever be one of the most important day’s of their lives.

 

Shout out to all the INCREDIBLE vendor’s!
