Nicole [Senior Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

Yesterday I did Nicole's Senior Photos. We chose to do them at Coulby Park in Willoughby, OH because it is gorgeous. Easily my favorite place to shoot...the possibilities are endless! We had perfect daylight and she looked beautiful, which made my job easy as pie! Have a great senior year, Nicole! Go Cardinals!

JMK (Just My Kids) [Children and Family Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

Brookie is due for new headshots for her pageants, so we took a family day and went to Hidden Lake in Thompson, OH. Brookie is always up to pose, but Carter rarely lets me near him with my camera. He was in a great mood that day, so I decided to see what we could come up with! For my kids, this is a raging success!

Melanie & Kyle Crader [Family Photographer - Painesville, OH]

Last month, one of my dearest friends, Melanie got married. I was a bridesmaid, but couldn't keep my camera packed the entire day! So, with the help of my mom...who took some of these excellent photos, we were able to capture some very special moments. I couldn't be happier for this wonderful couple. I wish them all the love and happiness life has to offer!

And here's a rare occurrence...a few photos with me in them!

Ella [Newborn & Infant Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

Today I had the pleasure of photographing 4 day old Ella! She was the perfect model...she slept the entire time and didn't protest much when we tried posing her. She was absolutely sweet and squishy and I cannot wait to work with her again! Congrats on your beautiful new daughter, Tricia and Larry!

Kate & Brandon [Engagement Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

Kate is one of my dearest friends (and also my sister-in-law!) I have been rallying for her to tie the knot for quite some time now. I knew the first time I saw her with Brandon that he was the one for her. I'm not sure how I came to this conclusion...I just knew. I was so happy when I finally got the text with a picture of her beautiful ring saying "I'm getting married!!" I couldn't be more excited for the two of them to start the next chapter in their lives together!

Sibling Love - Carter and Brooklyn [Child & Family Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

Since I am still building my portfolio, I am in my kids' faces a lot with my camera. I know they get sick of me, especially when I am posing them...but every now and then, I catch them when they least expect it. Those are the moments that I am so proud to capture.

My new nephew! [Family Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

I was lucky enough to get some adorable shots of my new nephew, Colten when I went to NY for a visit a couple of weeks ago. We didn't have much of a setup, but he was a wonderful model and a great snuggler!

Here are a couple with Colt and Mama, and with big sister Makenna!

 

I also snapped one of my other cutie nephew, Cameron. 

I even end up in front of the camera...but don't get used to that!

 

Bidlack Wedding [Family Photographer - Painesville, Ohio]

My aunt Karen has been with the love of her life Mike since I was a little girl. We were all so excited when they got engaged. They had a beautiful wedding and I was honored to capture it all!
