Short story family photography session at Wegerzyn Gardens Metropark in Dayton, Ohio. In their own words, the Oberdings share their family’s unique personality, their greatest challenge and their hopes for the future.
The Finks are old friends but they feel like family. We’ve all known each other since Jenna and I had different last names. When slumber parties were still ours and staying up all night was for fun. Before we were moms and dads and wives and husbands. Before we had bills to pay and fights to...
I’m not gonna lie, when a photographer asks me to take their pictures, I feel pretty awesome. Like maybe somebody smells what I’m cooking. Somebody’s snacking what I’m packing. Like maybe they’re itching what I’m scratching…you get the point. Sarah and I found each other in a photographer group on Facebook. She was looking for...
Maybe the best way to show the loneliness and shame, the stigma of postpartum depression was to pretend that it didn’t exist.
The Wilson’s are blessed. With talent and beauty, babies and dogs. Jessica is an Adoption Case worker and Jason is an Arts director at Lifepointe Church. Indie Marie is 4 years old and wants to be a princess doctor. Ivy Harper is 3 months and wants to be held. The Wilsons dream of Disney, a...
Gary and Brenda Palmer come from small beginnings. Together they are writing a new story. Brenda is a dentist and Gary is a physician. They both run their own practices. Brenda reads when she gets a chance and Gary enjoys cycling and noodling on the guitar. Renee is their oldest and loves painting, soccer, pets and school....
The Donohoos are big hearts growing. Parents filling up with love like balloons and expanding in ways they never knew capable- their children breathing new life effortlessly. Josh is a Regional Sales Manager and Jimalee teaches preschool. Carter wants to be a ninja worker someday and Baby Claire wants to be a singer (Carter insists). They love sports and...
The K’s (Kevin, Kelly, Keegan and Katharine) are silly. They are bright with laughter and dreams. Dreams for health and happiness, good grades and good friends. Dreams for more vacations on the beach, more time to spend near water. Dad’s a nurse and Mom manages real estate. Someday, Keegan wants to be a professional football...
The name Jason Levier brings to mind a shy, lanky 7th grade boy. I didn’t know Jason very well in middle school but we shared teachers and most likely the same awkward attempts to fit in. Nearly 20 years later, I get to see Jason all grown up. A father of four, Jason married his...
Here’s a long post for a family who’s had a long year. For a couple who fell out of love and back into it. Josh and Lindsay couldn’t have pictured themselves sharing the frame, much less kissing, holding hands, and laughing together! To be honest, I didn’t think my brother and sister in-law were going...
Jaime and Jeremy celebrated their 10th anniversary this year and asked if I could take their family pictures at the church they were married. Not only was I thrilled because of the sentiment, I was also looking forward to shooting at one of Dayton’s most unique churches- full of history and beauty. (Originally a million...
Say hi to the K’s- Kevin, Kelly, Keegan and Katharine. They are as bright, beautiful and full of life as Wegerzyn gardens is in the peak of summer…
Meet the Wilsons. Jason is a talented musician and Jessica is a fashion forward social worker. Together they made one hip and sassy little darling with a sure to be famous name, Indie Marie. Indie wasn’t “feeling it” when we started shooting, but one daisy, a few jumps off a crate and some handfuls of...
