I believe that I was born to create. As a kid, I would count down the minutes until art class when I could get lost in my latest project. I liked getting messy, and it didn’t matter to me if anyone understood what I made, as long as I was proud. Before I had ever…
Earlier this year, Stephen and I bought a new house. It’s in a new neighborhood, outside of the city and the apartment that we had grown to love so very much. Our favorite part of that little apartment was the fact that it was a 3 minute drive to the Rocky River. Stephen loves to…
I believe in strong marriages over beautiful weddings. I hope and pray that all my couples spend the months and years after their wedding day growing closer together. I want for them to be able to celebrate being with each other in the good times, and the times when it feels like it’s all falling…
It was July 12. Sarah’s boyfriend Evan called to ask if she wanted to go on a hike. They had been together since high school, and had enjoyed many hikes before, but this one would be a little different. She was excited to spend time with Evan but was a little confused when Evan told…
Dana’s a girl that makes things happen. She’s ambitious, compassionate, and as you can see, gorgeous. I have a questionnaire that I ask seniors to fill out for me so I can get a little understanding of who they are and what they like before our session. Dana’s definitely impressed me. When I was in high…
I told you we weren’t done with the sunflowers. : ) Katie’s a Senior at Rocky River High School. She’s in the National Honors Society, she’s involved in drama productions, and she’s in the band. (It was an honor to meet a fellow mellophone player, or really just anyone who knows what a mellophone is.)…
When I was about 8 years old, I only wanted one thing for my life – to be tiny. I’m not talking lose-a-few-pounds tiny. I mean straight up fit-in-your-pocket tiny. Honey We Shrunk Ourselves was my favorite movie, and The Borrowers wasn’t far behind. The idea of being enveloped by my surroundings was the most…
You know when you meet someone and it feels like you’ve been friends forever? That’s Lori. We sent numerous emails before we finally met in person but as soon as we met, I knew this was going to be a good thing. She’s an incredible musician and needed some photos for merch she’s selling at…
Since I started this business, the majority of my time has been spent with couples. Proposals, engagements, and weddings are my bread and butter. But that’s definitely not all I do. This spring, I spent quite a bit of time photographing all kinds of people in all different stages of life, and I kind of…
One of the things I’ve loved about starting this business has been connecting with people I haven’t seen in a while. Lauren and I went to high school together. Life took us both out of state for college, and 8 years later, we find ourselves back in the place it all began. I was so excited…
“You know when I rise and when I fall When I come or go, You see it all You hung the stars and You move the sea, And still You know me.”
I met Chris & Bethany just a couple of months ago at church. They’re husband & wife, and incredibly talented musicians. They asked me to take some photographs around their beautiful home for an upcoming feature in a publication. “Son, hear My words of wisdom Daughter, feel My arms around you Let peace like a river…
