The Walker Family Portrait Session; The Jeffrey Mansion

I love meeting new families and getting to spend some time photographing them.  I had a blast with The Walker Family at The Jeffrey Mansion in Bexley.  They came dressed and ready for a day of smiles and fun (even Grandma came to help coax out those giggles!).  I could not get enough of the little ones super cute smiles and there were plenty to go around.  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from my time with The Walker Family.

Natalie & Maeve; Whetstone Park of Roses

Meet Natalie & Miss Maeve!  This adorable mother daughter team have an infectious smile and a super special bond.  I had the pleasure of photographing these two during our Fall Portrait Sessions in October at The Whetstone Park of Roses.  It was a chilly, grey, Fall morning but you would never tell from these smiles.  Miss Maeve could not have been any cuter and was the perfect little model from her stylish infinity scarf to her little leather booties.  Already her presence and personality are warm and welcoming just like her Mom!  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from my day with Natalie and Maeve.

The Lomonico Family 2015; Jeffrey Mansion

There's nothing I love more than getting to see my favorite families every year for our portraits in the park sessions.   The Lomonico family has been with us since 2008 when Lisa and Craig tied the knot and then little Gianna came along and stole our hearts with her adorable little smile and cute as a button personality.  The Lomonico's are one of the nicest families you'll ever meet and their love for each other is beautiful.  It's never work when picking up a camera to go hang out with them.  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from my time with the Lomonico's at Jeffrey Mansion.  

Erika & Chris; September 12, 2015

We had such a wonderful time photographing Erika & Chris' big day in September at Waters Edge Event Center.  Erika is a fabulous hair stylist in Grandview (check her out at the Salon Lofts on 5th) and has been making me and my hubby look great for years!  It was a blast coming in for a cut and getting to see all the cool things she was planning for her wedding.  Once the big day arrived it was nothing short of perfection.  Erika took the time to grow her own succulents for her guest favors and took that theme and ran with it on to her beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and boutonniere's.  Chris was so calm and laid back and I absolutely loved his reaction we captured when Erika was coming down the aisle.  It was priceless!  The love that Erika and Chris have for each other is so sweet and the love their friends and family have for them is really touching.  Below are just few of my favorite images from Erika & Chris' wedding.

Patrick & John's Pop Up Wedding; Chestertown Maryland

What could be better than photographing your little brothers wedding?!  Well when you are the only one who knows you are going to a wedding it's pretty awesome.  My little brother Patrick tied the knot this summer to his amazing partner John in a surprise backyard wedding.  They just moved in to a spectacular new house and sent out invitations to a House Warming party for their friends and family.  I got the call from my brother who told me I HAD to make the trip to Çhestertown, Maryland that weekend and bring my camera.  So after very little prodding (Pat is terrible about keeping secrets and I of course know the way to get him to fess up fast) I found out that this wedding would be held in their backyard and no one else knew.  It was torture keeping this secret but I couldn't wait until I got to see everyone's faces on the big day.  When the day came myself and John's sister were both asked to be bridesmaids with secret bouquets disguised as a floral arrangement's on the the kitchen table.  It was such a great idea!  After the ceremony (with tons of happy tears shed by all) I grabbed my camera and photographed the happy couple and all of their friends and family in attendance.

I couldn't be happier to have been a part of their special day and love that it was such a great surprise to all!  Here are a few of my favorite images from Patrick and John's Pop Up Wedding!
