Capturing the Truth in Every Moment | Cincinnati 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.
We had so much fun laughing together at Jack + Kayla’s engagement session. Ok, so maybe they were laughing at me but I’ll take it! Can we just take a minute and quickly talk about how beautiful their smiles are? One day, they are going to have babies with great teeth! I’m just saying…
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.
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 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.
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!

Joey is one of my oldest friends. When he met Kayla I knew she had to be someone special. She’s super funny, loves Jesus, and is an amazing mama. And, if you didn’t notice, Cohen is an absolute nut! He’s such a fun, silly guy but with these two as parents he basically had no other option. I love these 4 as much as humanly possible.
See what I mean? Total goofball.
Elliot + Liz are one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever met. They are both super talented artists and the fact that they trusted me with their big day is such an honor. Liz had every single detail planned and organized to a T and everything went so smoothly and perfectly because of it. Thank you both so much for allowing me to capture your lovely day! I hope you enjoy this little teaser of what’s to come!

Katie & her mamma are so sweet! I had a great time hanging out with them and getting to know a little bit about her. And boy is she FIERCE!!! Hope you have a great year, Katie!
Alex is the last of the three Detcher children to get their senior pictures taken by me. I also used to change his diapers, so yeah I’m old and embarrassing. I love this family so much and I’m honored that they have trusted me for the last several years to capture this momentous time in each of their children’s lives. Praying for all of you as you transition to adulthood and empty nest-hood. Love you!
