Cincinnati Photographer: Jessica and Matt, a sneak peek


Love this tree!!








Two little buds from their favorite tree.


Love this!






I love the story of how Jessica and Matt meet! It was a case of meeting again and again until it was the perfect time. They are definitely perfect for each other and getting married this year!! We decide to shoot their engagement photos in their backyard where they spend a lot of time together. They were both so great to work with and I wish them the best of luck with their out of town wedding in North Carolina!!!

Random Fun stuff!




Yea!! I've had these beautiful prints by Steve Lyons for a long time now and I finally have them on the wall!! I love these prints because first, Steve is an amazing photographer and second, these are film (not digital). Love them!! They're right by my front door!

He's such a good boy!




This is Amos, one of my three dogs. I love all my dogs very much but, Amos and I are just great buddies! He listens well, walks very well and loves to dance with you. Although he has a huge under bite, bad breath and answers to anything, including "dumb dumb" he is very sweet. Amos is part lab and part boxer. He was actually my son's b-day gift a couple of years ago but now is more like mine than anything. Well heck, if I consider the amount of work I put in, their all my "dogs" :)

Baby Corbin is 3 months old now!!


Love this!





So adorable!! I love pix with mom!! Brittany, you're beautiful inside and out!


Corbin's lookin so fly in his Puma gear!

Corbin is one of my best friends' baby. He is so sweet and loveable. My favorite thing is just holding him and talking to him! This age is so cool because you can see all the changes happening right before your eyes. A few weeks/month ago he couldn't focus his eyes or smile (unless on accident). Now he's looking right at you and it doesn't take much to get that adorable smile on his face. He's just lights up the room! Congrats to his parents Brit and Jay and his big brother Chase. I love you guys!!

My daughter's 9th bday party


Bieber Fever, for sure.


"The Lounge" The girls just made themselves at home :)





All the girls got along so well!! I love this pic, two friends from the new school and two from the old school.


Each gift bag had eyeshadow, a comb, headband, ring pop and a blow up microphone.

All the Pop Stars, my husband behind me making them crack up


The Little Divas, another one of my daughter's favs




My daughter just turned 9 over the weekend!! I can hardly believe that. Other parents have been telling me all along that time goes so fast with kids. You hear it but you don't see until one day it just sneaks up on you!! I'm so proud of her and she is becoming such an interesting person! As much as I miss her as a baby I love my time with her now. She still wants to hang out with me too! Will this last forever? Hopefully!
She wanted a Pop Star Party so this is what we came up with;
1.) The invatations were backstage passes for each girl (pop star) with instructions to come to a dress rehearsal at our house. Tickets to a "one night only" show were also sent out to their parents and family.
2.)We decorated with crate paper and other fun stuff that we found in the birthday girl's room. We rearranged our living room and dinning room to make a lounge and stage. In the lounge we pulled some of her bedding and pillows so it looked like her "pad". The dinning room had Christmas light framing the entrance.
Once the girls arrived we had pizza and opened presents in the lounge. Then all of the girls had their hair, makeup and nails done for the show. We had head shots taken of each girl too. They selected their favorite shot and we printed one for them to take home. After the photo shoot it was time to practice.
There was two groups, Little Divas and the Mini Stars. Each group would dance and lip sing to one song. At 6:00 the parents came back to watch the show. The girls did great!! We all had a great time!
Thank you to my cousin and my sister-in-law for helping with the hair and nails!!

Baby Photographer Cincinnati: Colton


I love the details of a baby's room. These are things I love to see from my childhood now. I try to always capture these details with this in mind. As a mother I remember that I may not be able to hold onto all these items either :)






Anything babies do is cute, let's be honest! :)








Love this!



Congrats to Colton's parents, Hillary and Reid!!! I had the joy of photographing their wedding a few years ago too! I'm so glad they kept in contact!! He is a beautiful baby boy!!!

Cincinnati Wedding Photographer: Tricia and Taylor Epix


















Tricia and Taylor decided to take their photos just outside of the Aqurium, this is where he propsed. They had gone to one of the nearby places for a drink and he asked her to take a little walk with him. She said she had a small idea this may be it, the time that he asks! Congrats to you both and I'm looking forward to your wedding this December!!

Cincinnati Wedding Photographer: Rupa and Brian
