The Frank Family 2014; Franklin Park Conservatory

I always get excited to go out and photograph The Frank Family!  I have been photographing this family since big sis Vivian was in diapers.   Vivian and Natalie are a dynamic sister duo full of energy, giggles and sweet smiles.  This year we headed to The Franklin Park Conservatory to run and play and pause for a few moments to capture some great moments.  They really do grow up so fast.  Below are just a few of my favorite moments with The Frank Family.

Thanks for letting me share another great year with you!

Norah Mae; Newborn Session

There is no greater compliment for me than a photo referral.  To know that we captured someones moments perfectly and that they trust us and love us so much to send their friends and family our way is amazing.  And that's how this session came to be.

I photographed Erin's twin sister wedding back in 2010 (here's a little walk down memory lane to see pics from Kelly & George's big day) and had a blast!  When a got an email this spring from Kelly stating that her sister Erin was pregnant and they wanted to surprise her with a gift of a newborn session I was thrilled!  Once I got word that little Norah Mae was born last month I packed up the car and went to go see this little cutie.  

Below are just a few of my favorite pics of the adorable Norah Mae.

Vivian Lee; Inniswood Metro Park

What could be cuter than a sweet little giggly, smiley, baby girl?!  Little Miss Vivian Lee is all of those things and more!  She is such a happy little baby whose big personality shines through in every photo I snapped.  I was so lucky to have had the chance to photograph her and her family this past spring at Inniswood Metro Gardens.  It was one of those perfect days when the flowers just started to bloom and people started to have a little spring in their step and Miss Vivian was ready to spread a little of her own sunshine.  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from my time with Miss Vivian Lee.

Megan & Zach, May 17, 2014

We are so lucky to get to work with such fun and sweet couples.  I knew as soon as I met with Megan that her wedding would be beautiful.  She is very organized and really gave us so much time to be creative and run with some ideas we had on the spot.  She even dodge a couple raindrops for some amazing rooftop shots at The Renaissance hotel in downtown Columbus.  We had a crazy weather day full of mixtures of sun and rain and Megan and Zach and their entire bridal party we troopers throughout the whole day.  The ceremony and reception were held at the gorgeous Columbus Athenaeum.  Family and friends danced all night and we had such a wonderful time capturing the love this couple has for each other.  Here are just a few of my favorite images from Megan & Zach's big day!

Shannon & Jeremy; April 26, 2014

Shannon and Jeremy contacted me this fall and began filling me in on all the fabulous details of their upcoming Spring wedding.  Shannon attended a wedding we shot last year in Tiffin Ohio and was excited to have us photograph her big day.  There is nothing I love more than being referred by a former bride and groom.  It makes me feel great to know that our work is loved and treasured and that our clients have a great experience with us.  Throughout our planning process Shannon was super organized (which I LOVE!) and no detail was left behind.   In April we packed up the car and headed to Tiffin.  Our day started at the lovely St. Andrews church and from there we made a pit stop at a local tavern called Clouses so Shannon and Jeremy could sign their wedding wall.  Then it was off to party the night away at Camden Falls.  Shannon and Jeremy are some of the kindest people we have had the pleasure of working with and their friends and family were just as lovely.  Below are just a few of my favorite images from Shannon and Jeremy's big day!

 

Congratulations Shannon and Jeremy!

Kate & Stella; Inniswood Metro Park 2014

Spring is finally here and I could not be any more excited!  Kate had contacted me during our long cold winter about photographing Stella and we have been counting down the days until we were able to run and play at Inniswood park.  The first flower bloomed and we headed out for a fun day.

It is never easy photographing a little one, you never know what kind of mood they will be in and how they will react to a camera.   Miss Stella is a complete natural in front of the camera.  Right off the bat it was "Chase me!  Catch me!" and lots of smiles and giggles.  Then Kate joined in the fun and I was able to capture some of the sweetest, tenderest moments between a Mom and her baby.  Life isn't always easy for this Mother-Daughter duo but you would never know that from the smiles on the faces and the warmth in their hearts.  

Below are just a few of my favorite photos of beautiful Kate & Stella.

Thanks for letting me capture your special day!
