When Mikala and Jordan met with me for the first time they told me natural, candid photos and TONS of details were so important to them. HELLO DREAM CLIENTS! Not only are they adorable and madly in love with each other but they are also madly in love with Jesus and met in youth group. They are both artists (music & design) and were totally up for anything. Let me just say, when you trust your photographer with your timeline and with location, and you are given a stinking perfect day… your photos are going to be INCREDIBLE!
You guys are the best, Congratulations!
Jalon’s little brother, Jonas is in my daughter’s class at school. The first time I met this family I did that weird thing that all photographer’s do and thought to myself, “Is it creepy to ask this gorgeous family if I can photograph them?” I refrained because I think it’s awkward. So, when Bekah reached out to me to take Jalon’s senior photos and a few family photos I was elated!! I mean, seriously, how is every single person in this family so stinking beautiful? To top it off they are all so sweet and polite.
Jalon absolutely rocked his session with none of the usual guy’s senior photo awkwardness. GQ, much?
Let’s just put this out there… a stormy day (hello lightning during our session!) + a teething 1 year old + a high energy, TONS OF FUN little guy does not always equal a great session. But let me tell you, I ADORE these images. They are real and they are full of interaction and energy. We succeeded in getting some great family photos and portraits of Emmy for her 1st birthday shoot and then she pretty much decided she was over it. So, we went with the flow! Whatever Emilia and Quinn wanted to do, I captured it. And I think Jon + Kelly will look back on these photos and remember them exactly as they were at this age, and THAT, my friends, is my ultimate goal. To take you back to this exact day; how it felt, how it sounded, and the love that surrounded you.
Someone please tell me if this isn’t the best meme-worth photo ever?
It was such a privilege to hang out with Maggie (along with her mom and sister) last week. All three of them are so sweet and down for anything! We headed downtown for some fun shots around Cincinnati. I adore taking senior portraits in OTR, I always find new spots + I enjoy revisiting ones that have always produced great light! WOWZA!! Isn’t Maggie beautiful?

Olivia is absolutely stunning! It was no surprise to me either because I shot her sister’s senior pictures 2 years ago. Beautiful genes obviously run strong in this family! Shout out to my girl Sarah Crain for always doing an amazing job on hair & make up for my lovely senior girls.
