Special Moments that inspire...

When I was about 18 months old, my dad took this photography of my mom and I when she was pregnant with my younger brother, Ryan. This image hung in our house for years, and it is one of the images that inspired me to want to go into photography. I desired to capture those special moments that pass by so quickly in life that we want to cherish forever. This tender moment of my mom and I as I was maybe feeling my brother stir in her womb has become a treasured memory that I wouldn't have with out this image that my father captured.

This past Thanksgiving, my parents were in town and I wanted to re-create that image. Jacob is now 18 months old and we are about to welcome his new sibling into our family any day now! So, what a blessing to capture this moment to create a memory for him in years to come!

Thank you Daddy for inspiring me with your cherished images!

Mary & Phil are married!

Mary and Phil got married in October and it was a beautiful fall wedding! I love fall weddings and it is not just because I got married in the fall! The colors are just so warm and cozy, and the weather is like a comfy sweater on a cool day!

It was a perfect day for a wedding and we had a lot of fun capturing this happy couple on their special day.

Congratulations Mary and Phil! Thank you for asking us to be a part of your day!

Double the Beauty, Double the fun!

I have known the Poyo Family for 8 years or so, and therefore have watched their 5 beautiful daughters grow into 5 beautiful women! The 2 youngest...the twins...are now Seniors in high school! Where has the time gone! I have been honored to photograph daughter number 3, Leah, for her Senior pictures, as well as granddaughter number 1, Ella, when she was only 4 weeks old!

This past week I had the honor of photographing the twins for their Senior portraits and we had a great time up at Lake Erie...Thank you to Papa Poyo for driving them up to Cleveland to meet me to make this photoshoot possible! Since we couldn't find a time that worked to schedule it with fall colors, we decided that the lake was the next best option. We had a great time, worked with the wind and enjoyed the gorgeous sunset as I captured these beautiful women!

Looking forward to some more shoots coming up as the fall colors emerge!

Enjoy some samples below from our our time at Lake Erie!

One year old and Big brother!

So, Jacob turned one last week and had a great time celebrating with him last week! I made his birthday cake...

he got a great new shirt and we announced to our families that he is a BIG BROTHER...


he got his own cake to make a mess with and loved every second of it!



And then here he is all cleaned up! He is growing into such a little man and we couldn't love him more! We are excited to meet his new sibling in December!

On year later...

I still can't believe it, but our little boy is now 1 year old!! Jacob Henry turned 1 yesterday!

That year flew by! I think I have mentioned it before, but I was taking a picture of Jacob every day for a year, so that we could see all the changes he made the first year of his life. So, here is the beginning and the end. I have sorted all the pictures, and found that I have all but one. I am still looking for the missing day. I know I didn't miss a day! And a few of the ones in June, are corrupted files, that I am trying to repair. I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with all of them, but for now they will be on a sideshow at his birthday party on Saturday.

Day 1

Day 365
