Kidd Family // Westerville Ohio

I love that we had the opportunity to use the kitchen floor and everyone was bare foot and relaxed. What a great start to spending the day with the Kidd Family. Say hello to Jamie, Kindra, Kennedy, and Anderson. It was such a joy to be part of their day and to be able to document their time together.

Super excited to share this with all of you. Last month, I had the distinct honor of being one of the photographers shooting for the American Motorcyclist Association during their Vintage Motorcycle Days at the Mid Ohio Race Track. One of the photos taken during the event made the cover of the September issue of the American Motorcyclist Magazine. It’s been a wonderful opportunity working with AMA and having one of my photos on the cover is an incredible honor. Click Here to see more photos from the Vintage Motorcycle Days event.

Alison and Ben // Nashport Ohio Wedding

What a brilliant couple. Alison and Ben have such an overwhelming joy about them that can radiate any room they enter. They’ve seen difficult times together and I know the love they share in their hearts is everlasting. It truly was a blessing to be part of their day documenting the happiness of family and friends as they surrounded Alison and Ben on their special moment.

I have so many favorites but here are a few to hopefully give you all a sense of their wedding day at the Longaberger Golf Club.

Alison and Ben – much love to you both and all the world is yours to have. Thank you both so much.

Erin & Michael // Columbus Engagement Photography

“Wait five minutes and it’ll change.” That’s been the saying here in Columbus about the weather for as long as I can remember it. And, the longer I live here the more I’ve come to believe in it, really. Planning outdoor sessions here can be a real hoot. One minute – sunshine, next minute – light drizzle, then…wait…downpour. That was kind of how my day went with Erin and Michael for their engagement session last week.

We had hoped for a little bit of sunshine but instead got the beautiful Ohio rain that we’re all too familiar with. We were a little reluctant at first but Erin and Michael were so courageous and daring, we went for it.

Shooting in the rain was an absolute blast. Erin and Michael – thank you both so much for your playful energy.

Brynn & Jeff // Married

It doesn’t matter how you word it, these two are meant to be together for life. A few weeks ago Brynn and Jeff celebrated their connection with close friends and family who cherish their love as much as they do. I can’t tell you how incredibly excited I was to photograph their beautiful day.

Brynn and Jeff, I wish you 100+infinity years of joy. Much love to you both…

Kim and Marcus // Married

John Lennon said it best, “all you need is love.” When love is strong you can feel its grip on your heart. True love is not something that comes everyday so to have someone in your life to share that with makes love that much more powerful.

A few weeks ago Kim and Marcus celebrated their relationship with lots of smiles, laughter, and happiness. It was an intimate affair surrounded by their closest friends and family. These two are genuinely kind, compassionate people who share such a deep love for each other, their daughter, and those around them.

Kim and Marcus, I wish you both all the success and happiness in your journey together as husband and wife.

Scarlett // One Month

Open Image Studio — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:44:46 +0000

It’s so cliche but time really does go by so quickly these days. My little niece, Scarlett, is already one month old. Here she is at her first “official” model shoot. Just as precious as the day she was born.

Michelle & Jason // Engagement

Open Image Studio — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:19:04 +0000

Two incredible people. One beautiful connection that is sure to blossom into a loving relationship. Leo Buscaglia once wrote that “Love is always bestowed as a gift. Freely, willingly, and without expectation. We don’t love to be loved. We love to love.” Michelle and Jason do exactly that … they LOVE. Thank you both for allowing me to witness and capture such great joy. You’re both truly remarkable.
