My mom and I had so much fun photographing this little man and his family! Such a sweet bunch and I’m so thankful Garrison is healthy and strong! He is so itty bitty in these pictures at 13 days new!
Miller family, thanks for letting us snuggle with Garrison! 
I was so honored when Nicolette emailed me and wanted me to capture maternity and newborn pictures for her. We scheduled both dates and had everything planned. Well, things happen and life just surprises ya! Nicolette ended up at UH Rainbows in Cleveland and asked if I’d be willing to drive up and do maternity pictures at the hospital. Of course I agreed! Anything to make her pregnancy less stressful! It ended up working out perfectly! She was able to spend an hour or so on her feet outside the hospital in the courtyard. I forgot how beautiful UH is in Cleveland! We had plenty of room to walk around and catch the sunlight. I am SO glad I was able to get these photos for them!
Just a few days later, their little boy was here! He is still waiting to go home but is being well taken care of at Rainbows NICU. I am looking forward to capturing his little toes as well as a new family of FOUR.
I LOVE how genuine this family is! So at ease and loving life! Trevor turned ONE recently and we had a perfect afternoon to capture his cute grin! Nate is such a wonderful brother too. I loved the shots of them together 🙂
Jacqui, thanks for being so encouraging even though it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other! You are a blessing!
I used to work at a few different Aveda schools and Casal’s recently hired me to do a few headshots of a model. Three students were picked to makeover a model and submit before and after shots to a contest inspired by Edwin Neill. Each of them had a different job: color, cut, and makeup. These girls were just so great to work with! We were all rolling and on the same page with aiming for perfection! You definitely need more than two hands to get the shot you want! It was an honor to work with some passionate students and I wish them all the best! We’re all hoping they win! They will honored at Aveda HQ in front of thousands of people.
Enjoy a few of my favorite angles of Ciara and her beautiful self!
The Saltsman family is just a great family! I had the honor of meeting Floyd & Dorothy along with their kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids! Donna invited me to photograph their family reunion/celebration of her in-laws 60th wedding anniversary.
All of the details were well-thought out and you could tell were made with love. Games, a wonderful slideshow, cookies in mason jars, hymns sung together, CAKE!, vintage pictures, and a personal letter from George W. Bush himself! I enjoyed very much being a part of the special event. 60 years! Wow! I’m on year two and feel like it’s been forever already! Congrats to you two! May God CONTINUE to be the center of your lives! What a legacy!
Also, Donna, thank you for the oatmeal scotchies. They were AMAZING.
Meet the Luckner Family! I had a wonderful time in their home surrounded by Gus Gus the cat and LOTS of great window light! Their house was perfect for photographing! Sydney & Caleb are so cute together! I got to witness Caleb standing on his own, Sydney showing off her room and Sydney and her mom putting on makeup together. So darn cute! I’m so thankful for families that are comfortable with me coming to hang out in their home.
This is what I’m talking about when I mean an in-home shoot. Sure, I probably am forcing you to clean up your entire house before I come, but don’t change it so it doesn’t look like your home! So, I apologize in advance for stressing you but let me tell you, ask Josh or Kerri and they’ll tell you it was worth it. Please enjoy a few favs of mine!
