Brittany + Sam | Toledo Botanical Gardens Engagement Session | Toledo, Ohio

My sister is getting hitched! I was so happy and honored to do her and Sam’s engagement photos last summer, since I won’t be able to be the wedding photographer. We had a blast at the lovely Toledo Botanical Gardens and I LOVE how every single photo turned out. The sun came out after an overcast afternoon and it was a bit chilly but you’d never know it looking at these photos! I mean, come on!! They seriously look like models!

I can’t wait for her wedding and all the festivities leading up to the big day! Maybe I’ll post some personal photos from the celebration when the time comes :)

Kylee + Mike | The Scioto Mile Engagement Session | Columbus, Ohio

I was beyond thrilled the evening my phone went off and with a photo of a ring and text saying, “I’m in the market for a photographer, you know any??” It was from a lifelong friend, Kylee, who I’ve known since kindergarten. Anytime I get the opportunity to photographer friends, my job feels extra special. Of course I said yes and we planned her engagement session right away.

I travelled down to Columbus, Ohio where she and her fiance, Mike, live. I had only had the chance to meet Mike once and it was brief, so being able to visit and get to know him before photos was great! We waited til the sun got low and golden and headed to downtown Columbus to have some fun! It felt good to be with friends and explore downtown together making photos. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in Sanibel Island, FL next February!

Lindsay + Rich | Winter Maternity Session | The Spot at Oak Openings

I was so excited when Lindsay and Rich asked me to come down to Toledo to take their maternity photos. I’ve known Rich since college, he’s friends with my fiance, and it’s always extra special to be the one to document the next chapter in our friend’s lives. I did Lindsay and Rich’s engagement photos a few years ago and couldn’t wait to work with them again. We met up at “The Spot” in Oak Openings Metro Park in Ohio. I was stoked to finally shoot a session in this beautiful and popular spot! The tall trees, snow and sun made for a perfect session.
