Tyler + Ashley | Rhinegeist Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

WARNING: OVER-BLOGGING IN PROGRESS

Yeaahhhhh, I tried really hard to narrow this down to fewer images but it’s SO HARD when you have a day as beautiful as this one. When my husband and I were youth pastors Ashley was in our youth group. Ashley was one of the only kids we were privileged to have in the youth group for all 6 years. She has always been hilarious, hard-working, and caring. I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding & my husband to officiate. (heyyy hottie husband).

We love you guys so much! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day.

Josiah + Bethany | Cincinnati Engagement Photographer

There are a lot of words to be said here. I want to save some of my extreme sentiment for the wedding blog post but here’s what you should know: Bethany is my niece. My oldest niece. I was 13 when she was born so I was prime babysitting age for her and her brother. They even lived with us for a little while when I was a teenager. Basically it boils down to this: we’re close. I feel incredibly protective of her so when she told me she was going to marry Josiah I wasn’t ready for it. (She’s 2 years older than I was when I got married, she was ready… I just wasn’t). But then this boy started coming around and the more I’ve gotten to know him, the more I love him. I’m excited to capture your wedding day but even more excited to do life beside you guys and see where Jesus takes you.

Ps. Stop being the cutest humans on the planet. Enough, already!

 

Tyler Lee | Cincinnati Birth Photographer | UC West Chester

Births are amazing. I am honestly never more honored than when a family trusts me to be involved in this; one of the most intimate, beautiful, and life-changing moments. Anna was such a sweet, joyful, and strong mama and Brian was an incredible supporter. Tyler’s birth was so peaceful and beautiful, I would be ecstatic to photograph 100 more just like it. Congratulations, you two. Tyler is perfect + so loved already.

Gracie | Glacier National Park Senior Session

Gracie Anna is my husband’s cousin. We haven’t seen this sweet girl since she was TWO! She has grown into a beautiful, caring, animal-adoring human. She is was so great and patient with my kids. They were full of questions about everything and were sure they had found a great new friend. It was great to see you again, Grace and hopefully you’ll come visit us soon! We miss you already.

Side note, Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I would argue, one of the most beautiful places in our country.

Zach + Jenesis | Cincinnati Family Photographer

A little over a year ago I stepped out of my comfort zone and attended a gathering of Cincinnati creatives through The Rising Tide. I’m so incredibly glad I did. That night I met so many talented and beautiful people. One of them was Jenesis. She is the artist behind Pied Paper Goods and she’s one of the kindest humans I’ve met. Zach, Jenesis, and a few other friends also opened up an AMAZING coffee shop in my neighborhood last year called Brick Coffee. (Go check it out, it’s seriously YUM!). Just to round off all the things on their plate; he’s a teacher, she’s a nanny and a worship pastor. Seriously guys, way to make us all seem totally lazy. And if you talk to either one of them they are willing to sacrifice what little time they have left to love on other people. Thank you both for being a great example of the sacrificial love of Christ. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

 

Hugo + Michelle + Lucy | Cincinnati Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

People sometimes ask me if I’m sad that my husband and I are done having babies. My response is, “No way! I get to cuddle them all the time without having to stay up all night.” Serious job perks! This sweet little squish also shares a name with my oldest which makes her even more special to me. I ADORE in home newborn sessions. They’re comfortable, sweet, and relaxed. Thank you, Hugo + Michelle for inviting me into your home and letting me cuddle your beautiful new babe.

 

Jack + Kayla | Cincinnati Wedding Photographer

This wedding was absolutely stunning! The Cathedral in Covington is seriously the most beautiful church I’ve been in. Those stained glass windows! WOW!!! Also, I should tell you that Anderson Pavilion is an amazing venue with some of the best food I’ve ever been served at a wedding. Their staff is so incredibly helpful and kind.

Ok, back to Jack + Kayla. It’s so fun to see the way they love each other. They’re silly, fun, and basically adorable. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day, everything was perfect.
