And now for another special senior! Our second born son, Jonah Lee, is a senior at the Warren County Career Center. He’s in the Culinary program and plans to join the Coast Guard or go into ministry after graduation. A ‘cute, Christian boy’ like his father and a sad song lover like his mama, we...
Michael is my nephew—Bobby’s boy. He’s a senior at Ross Township High School and just wrapped up his final football season with the Ross Rams. My older brother Tyler and his wife Cindy have raised Michael as their own since he was ten years old, and the love, stability, and grit they’ve poured into him...
Some sessions just feel like a big warm hug—and this was one of them. Gerrard is an old friend, and getting to photograph his beautiful family after they recently moved back to Ohio was such a treat. His wife, Dania, and their four kids are all from Florida, and it was so sweet to see...
Lilly is a senior at Oakwood High School with her sights set high—literally! She dreams of becoming a pilot after graduation. We kicked things off at Houk Stream Park, tucked right in her hometown, before heading to Moraine Airpark where she felt completely in her element among the planes and open skies. At first, Lilly...
When I pulled up to Sydney and Jim’s home, I was expecting an engagement session with their beloved golden retriever, Adelaide, and maybe a cameo or two from their cats. But as soon as I arrived, they shared a surprise — they had gotten married that very day! So our planned engagement photos became their...
Life on the Browns’ Family Triple B Farm moves at its own steady pace. The sky hung gray and soft the day of our session — the kind of overcast light that deepens every color and makes the greens feel richer, the moments quieter. Between the four kids, the flower gardens, the mix of cows,...
I first photographed the Bowers family five years ago as part of their parents’ vow renewal session, and my, how they’ve grown since then! Here they are, in front of their family’s 100-acre wood tree: This was my fourth year capturing them at their home, and every time I’m invited back, it feels like catching...
Two decades, one marriage, and a Jeep Rubicon rental later… we found ourselves in the Colorado Rockies, slightly winded but still wildly in love. Just us, our matching hiking boots, and the quiet reminder that the best view really does come after the hardest climbs. Here’s to 20 years of walking side by side—and to...
Because when your mom and your daughter hit monumental birthdays just a week apart- Sexy Seventy and Sweet Sixteen, you throw a party. Well actually, your mom throws the party, because that’s what mom does best. But you show up with flowers (that match the color scheme, of course) and pretty cakes and a camera...
Meet the Lohmeyers- Jaron, Brittany, Peyton and Maverick. Jaron and Brittany are in the middle of a big transition. Jaron is starting his medical residency—an exciting next step, but one that means saying goodbye to the home where they built their life together. Not just the place they lived, but the place they grew—into parents,...
Photographing the Albrecht family was an absolute joy! We planned a morning session—because let’s be honest, no one’s getting much sleep with a little one at home anyways 🙂 It ended up being the perfect choice! Smith Gardens in Oakwood was glowing, and so was this blessed bunch. The undeniable star of the morning was...
Luke is a senior at West Carrollton who plans to pursue music after graduation. He is Logan’s younger brother, whom I photographed a few years back at Riverscape. The brothers play in a metal band together called Jesus of Hamartia. We shot his session in front of graffiti walls and The Silos around 2nd Street...
On Sunday, we played our first true ‘listening room’ at Dayton’s beloved Vagabond Studio & Gallery. It was a cold and dreary day in March after a week of blessed sunshine and spring weather. A winter’s last-ditch effort kind of day to keep us all in pajamas & binging on PBS Masterpiece forever. So I...
This morning, while walking the dog, I hear the hawk screech overhead she cries out like a mother circling in the silky sad sky, ’round and ’round, the sun brightening her wings as she angles and glides in the wind she’s following us- I swear she is! us trekking up the cul-de-sac hill and back...
Jay is a senior at Samuel Everett School of Innovation and plans to work in cybersecurity after graduation. He’s also my favorite red-headed nephew 🙂 We shot his senior pictures in downtown Maryville and then chased the sunset through the mountains, my sister-in-law Lindsay at the wheel, driving fast and fearlessly as only a Tennessee...
