I had the pleasure of shooting “E” nice and early on a chilly morning a couple weeks ago.  She had also seen my shots around Eastern Market from Andrea & Austin’s shoot and wanted something similar for herself.  As she and I were talking she was telling me how much junk everyone was giving her for having her pics done without a “reason”.  Let me be the first to say, no matter where you are in life you should never have to have a “reason” to get your pics done.  Celebrate life and document it!!  So, that being said we embraced life and had a great time finding nooks and crannies all over the Eastern Market.

“E” is known for her big toothy grin, so when we saw this we couldn’t resist!

“E” works in the crime field, so I thought this pic was appropriate

I am always amazed how put together this couple is.  Every time I see them they are perfectly coordinated and classic. Well, then they had a baby and yes, he is the most stylish baby as well   A few weeks ago we went out to take a few 6 month pictures of their little one Deacon.  While we were at it we got several cute family ones as well.

Matt & Amber – It was an honor to photograph you guys.  I hope that you enjoy the pics and that I captured Deacon well

Gotta love a random cool green door!  Great find Amber!

My fav family shot…

Seriously???  You guys are smokin

Well, it is that time again.   I am booked solid for the rest of the year!  I do not take appointments again until March 15th (minus newborns).  I take this break for many reasons, but a main one is to recharge creatively.  With working two jobs I can get pretty tired by the time the holidays roll around.  So, I will update the blog with the shoots that are being edited right now as well as some personal images.  Now to go curl up with a mug of hot cocoa

and here is an image of my new puppy taken with my point & shoot (yes even photographers have small cameras)…..more pics of her later 

So, I had to post a sneak peak from my second shoot from today.  This little guy is flippin’ adorable!

Had a great shoot with this morning in the Eastern Market area.  Enjoy the sneak peak!

I am so happy to be able to share with you the pictures from Nick & Dorsia’s wedding.  The wedding took place in Westerville, Ohio (suburb of the great city of Columbus) @ Vineyard Church of Columbus. This wedding was so very special to me.  You see, Nick & Dorsia were married in the very same room as I was and the same pastor married them.   It was such an awesome experience to be in that same place over 4 years later capturing another couple’s love that had brought them to the very same place.  The ceremony was awesome and you could truly feel the presence of God in the room.

Nick & Dorsia – may you experience God’s incredible grace on your marriage for many years.  Thank you for allowing the honor of documenting your love.  Enjoy reliving your day!

We must start with Dorsia’s amazing dress.  It was a dream to photograph!

Gorgeous flowers…

I LOVE it when brides go for non-traditional shoes!  These certainly did not disappoint!

Seriously Dorsia….you are so beautiful!

A personal fave…

All the beautiful ladies in a more “formal” shot…

Nick & Dorsia wanted all their couple shots done at the Nationwide arena district in downtown Columbus.  Due to a variety of timing setbacks we were running late.  As we were driving down the highway I prayed that God would just give us 10 more minutes of light so that Nick & Dorsia could have some amazing images.  Well, He did and we got some awesome shots in a very short amount of time.  Yay for answered prayers!!!

It then turned into a night shoot…something a little different, but cool!

This chandelier at their reception site (Confluence Park) is so beautiful!

During their first dance Nick sang to Dorsia as they danced….it was so sweet!

Another fave…
