Kent, Ohio | Family | Laugh and be merry

I feel like my kids are growing up too fast. Kid one on her way to second grade, kid two already done with his first year of preschool, and kid three, turning into less of a baby and more into a toddler every day. But I was just talking to a friend-what if we could know. What if we could go into the future, just for a moment and know that everything will be OK, they will actually be friends, they will joke, and laugh, and dream very big...like this family.
The Mom and Dad.

(did you catch Dad's smolder??)
Here's girl one. 

She is making a big move soon. Which I think will be hard on the Mom and Dad, and this one, girl two.

They are best friends and sorority sisters and real sisters. And they looooove each other.  Yes, girl one, I think you will be missed.

By this laughing, silly, funny family.

Thank you so much for spending this hot afternoon with me. You all were just so much fun.

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio | Senior 2013 | Organizer

I am a list maker. I have entire notebooks that have nothing but lists. I love lists-things to do, grocery, Target, honey-do, things to bring on vacation; I have them all going right now. So when Jen turns up with a list of all her outfits-complete with what shoes, earrings, and belt to wear, well it is going to be a match made in heaven.

This was our very first shot. Yes, I knew right away this was going to be a fun one.

I love love love these purple and white wild flowers that were all over this spring. Anyone know what they are? I would love to plant some in my yard-just so pretty.

Did you notice her shoes? She had the BEST SHOES all shoot. Just wait, you will see...

Yup, I want that pair too! And again, love those flowers.

I think she looks like some cool PR maven going off to work in New York, don't you?
Oh and wait for it, here they come, THE SHOES.

Thank you so much Jen and Laurie for spending the evening (and almost night! haha) with me. Can't wait for your brother's wedding later this summer!!

Akron, Ohio | Family | Baby makes three

What a perfect day we had for this shoot, and I mean perfect. Not too hot, not too cold, slight breeze, my kind of weather. Add a chubby baby, two adoring parents (one adoring grandma!) and yup, I'm in heaven. 

 Six months ago today they found out they were going to be parents, to this little man.

 And oh are they doting parents. 

Doting parents with a very good sense of style...oh love that hat.

A very happy family indeed! 

Yes, one of my new favorite baby photos. His beautiful room in his beautiful house is going to be a wonderful place to grow up.

Ohhhhhhhh, chubby baby :)

Thank you guys for spending the morning with me! I'm sure you can all agree that you are all lucky and blessed to have found one another. I am just so excited for you-can't wait to see him grow up!
