When Lauren mentioned to me that she was thinking about bringing her horse, Bourbon, for engagement photos, I was so excited! I always love getting to know my couples before the wedding day, but it was an extra special treat to get to know Bourbon too 🥰 I’m also a big fan of doing the […]

I loved getting to hang out with Katie and Brian for their engagement session. And I loved even more that they wanted their adorable pup there with them! When Katie said she imagined big open fields, Scioto Grove Park instantly popped in my head. Ohio made us wait around for a sunset, but as soon […]

It was such a pleasure meeting up with Mandy and Garrett to do their engagement session. They wanted to keep it a lighthearted and fun experience, and I’m so glad! We started things off around Franklinton and explored (aka got a little lost) from there. We ended the session with a friendly game of 90’s […]

I was so happy to have this cute little studio available for Jillian and Zach’s engagement session. It ended up pouring buckets and there wasn’t a lot of wiggle room in our schedules. We had a great time chatting and getting to know one another and I’m so excited for their Columbus Zoo wedding later […]

It was so fun to travel down to Cincinnati for Allison and Braden’s engagement photos! I loved that they wanted to do some stylish ones, but also have a bit of fun by using inspiration from the movie Masterminds. If you haven’t seen that movie, there’s a scene where a couple has an engagement session […]

I loved getting to know these two during their engagement session! We shared so many things in common, but I think the biggest one was our love for our dogs 🖤 Haley and Matt have 3 dogs and 2 kids, which means there’s no shortage of love in their home! I’m so excited for their […]

I loved hanging out with Annie, Steve, Brielle, and Floof for their engagement/ family session! It was an absolutely freezing evening, but we made the best of it and had fun in the process too! When I first met Annie and Steve a few month ago, I knew their wedding day would be so great. […]

Makenzie and Jacob came all the way from Utah for their engagement session! Makenzie told me all she wanted was a location full of nature and beauty, and since this is Ohio 😑 that pretty much narrowed down my suggestions to one place: Franklin Park Conservatory. Makenzie grew up in the Cleveland area, and Jacob […]

It was so wonderful getting to know Kennedy and Brian while shooting their engagement session. We had to reschedule because of gross Ohio weather, and I’m so glad we did! It was a perfect evening! Kennedy and Brian traveled from Dayton for their shoot, which was so sweet of them to do! I love how […]
