Alexis turns one!

We got so lucky with this pocket of sunshine for the day of Alexis’ shoot. Debbie, her mom had everything planned out perfectly and the hour went by really fast! Alexis is just the cutest thing! She was so sweet and didn’t mind getting her picture taken. Zack was such a great big brother too! I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to capture anything more precious than this kissy shot! I almost died when I saw it on my camera. This bond is real people! I love both of my brothers so dearly and that makes this picture so much more special to me 🙂

Alexis took 10 seconds to destroy that pretty cake at Lanterman’s Mill. Enjoy!

Kalyn + Dave | Columbiana, Ohio | Youngstown, Ohio Wedding Photographer

I haven’t blogged in months! I’m so behind! I had so many wonderful photo sessions in the month of January alone! It was record-breaking for me! So many couples in love and brand new babies entering in the new year! I took a little break (if you can call it that) for February and March but I feel like I have still been so busy! There is more to this job than just taking pictures, that is for sure. I have enjoyed the break but I am so excited for wedding season to be here!

Kalyn and Dave are just the best! I had so much fun with them at the tree farm. These two are just made for each other. Kalyn and I actually had matching hats for this shoot. She saw me get out of the car and just laughed. We must both love TJ Maxx 🙂 Their wedding will be the first of my busy October month of weddings! I CAN”T WAIT!!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your families! It is an important day to me and I’m excited to be surrounded by family and loved ones. I am thankful I am here another day to serve God because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

Be on the lookout for some fresh blog posts! April is here and it better be full of sunshine.

Kelsey + Nathan | Columbiana, Ohio | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

I read in a blog recently about friendship and how it should be approached. I really took what it said to heart because mostly I feel like I have horrible track record with friendships. Here’s a quote that has stayed in my mind since I saw it:
“We need at least one and preferably many friends who inspire us to serve, provoke us to love, help us to grow in godliness, correct us, encourage us, strengthen our faith, and spur us on to passion for the Savior.”

And…these two are just that. Over the past year, my husband Scott and I have grown so close to these two wonderful people. It was an adjustment living in a new town, in a new home, and in a new church but I wouldn’t trade anything for the memories we’ve created with Nate + Kels. They have pushed us to be better people and better Christians.

I am so honored and excited to photograph their day in June. We were so lucky to have a beautiful morning to shoot these pictures at a tree farm in North Lima, and of course Generations Coffee House in Columbiana, Ohio. Coffee is something the four of us are always surrounding. We’ve shared numerous cups together as well as numerous conversations. We’re all a little obsessed with coffee mugs too.

Nate + Kels, thanks for being life-long friends <3

Kerry + Hugh | Warren, Ohio | Youngstown Ohio Wedding Photographer

We did Kerry and Hugh’s eshoot in her parent’s back yard. It was so pretty! It makes me want to come back in the Spring when everything is fresh and green!

These two were so cute together, obviously they love animals and Kerry made sure Hugh took a Claritin before the shoot so the fur and hay wouldn’t bother him. I thought that was so cute haha!

Can’t wait for their June wedding!

Paterniti Family | Family Photographer | Orchard Hills Park

This was one of my FAVORITE sessions this year! I had never been to Orchard Hills before and I’m SO glad Casey suggested it. I had a blast with her twin girls! We had a perfect day and the sunlight was gorgeous on these baby girls’ faces! Grandpa’s truck was even part of the session. Who doesn’t love two cuties in the back giggling?!

I’m looking forward to capturing their next little princess that will be making her debut in January!
