{Kelsi & Luke} | a Chicago Bridal Session

I was beyond excited when asked to shoot Kelsi's wedding. The icing on the cake was that they asked me to go to CHICAGO to shoot a bridal session :) HELLO, let me think about it. Um, YES. LOL!




















Look close... IT'S MEEEEE!!! ;)


Two of my favorites of the day...





Soon, you will see some of their wedding images, but you'll just have to wait!

Just in case you try to call, email, or facebook me...

I am going to be out of the office from September 1st - Sept 5th. I will not be working AT ALL during this time, so please hold all correspondence to me until after the 5th. Thank you!

Have a great Labor day weekend!

{The Jones Fam} | Family

I love the Jones'. We are close friends to these guys and I consider them like a second family to us. They asked that we come take their family photo because since the last one we have added Walt's son, Adam, Emily's daughter, Josslyn, Caitlyn's husband, Phil, and their photogenic puppy, Remy.







We also used this shoot as Joss's 1 year session, though she is just a smidge older than one year and also wanted to get some shots of Joss and my daughter, Lyric, on the farm. Lyric and Joss will be causing some major trouble together in the future. I'm terrified.



"Walk softly, and carry a big stick." :)


LOVE this.



Cousins :)



Finally, I wanted to document how teeny Joss and Lyric were at this age. I think this picture will be recreated over and over throughout their life as they grow :)



Thank you Jones family!
Love you all! xoxo

{Brittney} | Senior

Brittney was a nervous Senior. I have Seniors like this time to time. She had a lot of questions and I gave her the answers, but she still felt so nervous. Nerves are pretty evident in the beginning of a session. But I think Brittney can tell you, bythe time we ended she felt so comfortable that ending the session was a real bummer! We had a marvelous shoot, and I think Brittney is a pro! Check out some of the amazing shots we took..

What a way to start a session! Look at this beautiful horse, and I lOvEd the outfit Brittney chose to capture this shot in. Such gorgeous shots!



















Thank you for a wonderful session, Brittney!

{Danyelle} | Senior

Every now and again I shoot the type of session that rocks so hard that I want to tell everyone about what I shot. Danyelle's session was JUST THAT. I won't even talk anymore.. Here it is!







And now for what I especially wanted to scream and shout about. AH-MAZ-ING.







The best part is that not only have a shot sessions like Danyelle's that I want to tell complete strangers about, this is just one of the MANY that I have shot where I walked away feeling like I had went out of my body and the photography gods took over :) Thank you, Danyelle, for an AMAZING session, a perfect fit for an amazing girl :)

{Jenna} | Senior

Jenna's session started abit late because MapQuest stinks anywhere north of Van Wert. I was lost, but I eventually got some correct directions after swallowing my pride and calling Jenna :)



I was excited to shoot in an all new place. We found some really awesome places!





GO BUCKS! Love this shot!(Though it's not the sharpest!)





Thank you Jenna! I hope you had a great time :)
