These little cuties have made a couple other appearances on my blog and it seems like every time I photograph them, they get SO much more comfortable in front of my lens, which I absolutely adore :)
This occasion was little Natalie's birthday and we celebrated it just right - playing in the leaves and swinging at the playground! Enjoy their cuteness...
Another beautiful November day with another beautiful couple! 7-0-d-e-g-r-e-e-s-what?!?
I met up with Nichole and Matt in Medina for their amazing engagement session. We started at the square, where the two were engaged, and then worked out way over to a local park (in between we stopped at some railroad tracks and an open field, where we kind of trespassed...kind of...but it was well worth it).
These two definitely know how to work the camera :) I mean, just look at them! Nichole brought along some great ideas/props - including a picnic basket complete with vintage books and wine; a girl after my own heart :)
Cheers you two!
Anytime I shoot an engagement session in November I assume it's going to be crappy weather-wise...it's Cleveland...it's a weekend...so it's kind of a guarantee it'll either be raining or snowing. I hardly admit this, but I was so very very wrong!
I met up with Natalie and Dylan on a 60-degree, early November day (after I did my happy dance, because it was 60 degrees and partly sunny - now we're talking!). We met in beautiful Brecksville, at the train depot, in the Metroparks. It's such a cute area; with the train tracks, the bridge and the open spaces - it's definitely becoming one of my favorite places to shoot.
These two were such a blast! Natalie is beautiful and has hair to-die-for, for reals (I told her I was going to steal it) and Dylan is a cop, so I, of course annoyed him right away about getting some "FOP" cards. I mean, come on, don't they just hand them out like candy on Halloween? Nope. They do not. But he promised to send me some - so I forgave him. PLUS they brought along their sweet woofie, Buckeye, and he put on his furriest face for a couple photos. Enjoy :)
Lesley contacted me to photograph her wedding on a whim. She happened to be a guest, at a wedding that I helped assist, and within a few months her email was in my inbox! We chatted back and forth through Gmail and I just had a feeling that we clicked instantly, not in a weird way...totally in a platonic-friend-you're the coolest person I ever met...way. See, Lesley and Jeff live in Brooklyn, NY (cool) and because of Jeff's job, they get to travel to movie-esque events, like the Sundance Film Festival (way cool). So all in all, these two have a life I would be happy to live any day of the week - and then we finally met for our pre-consultation meeting and I just couldn't wait for their big day to get here!
Let's skip ahead to their wedding day. The ceremony was held at Greystone Hall, which was unbelievable beautiful and almost too pretty for it's downtown Akron location. Then it was onto the party at Todaros which was complete with heartfelt speeches, delish cupcakes and some of the craziest dance moves I have ever seen! Congrats you two, wishing you a lifetime of happiness...
On a perfect fall day in October, I met these two in Chagrin Falls to do their fun-filled engagement session! I love Chagrin for photo-sessions; there are a ton of cozy nooks, corners and ivy-filled walls and I think we took full advantage of all that it had to offer :)
These two love to laugh and be silly with each other; I can't wait for their autumn-inspired nuptials next September at Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland...enjoy!
This lil' sweetie-pie you may remember from an earlier post. She is 6 months old already, which is so hard to believe as I swear her newborn session took place just yesterday, crazy how time flies!
I met Reagan and her parents in Chagrin Falls for a quick session where we let her roll around on a blanket and show off her seriously adorable skunk costume for Halloween :)
Enjoy her sneak-peek...
