I traveled to Kansas City just a few weeks back to meet Maggie and Kurt and immediately it felt like hanging out with old friends— I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun at an engagement session! We laughed and joked (and sweated!) the whole session and getting to know them during our 2 […]

If I could sum up this wedding day in one word it would be sweet. The couple, their friends and family, the details, (oooh, that donut bar!) everything about this day was so sweet and simple and tons of fun! Knowing Lo previously from high school made this day even more special; I’m so thankful […]

You wouldn’t know by looking at these photos that Kathleen and Blake’s wedding day was during a freak cold spell in Cincinnati in May with 40 degree temps (but it totally felt like 35!) and rain in the forecast. As a bride that is your worst nightmare so Kathleen and I planned for the worst. […]

I always love couples who are up for an adventure! Stephanie and Wasin were totally down to splash in the water and climb up on rocks, even with the crazy tide coming in. It’s safe to say we all went home in wet clothes, but it was totally worth it. I can’t wait for their […]

Michelle and Chris are two of the most kind-hearted and down to earth individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

With accents of gold and blush and blues, this wedding was a straight up fairytale and Kat and James definitely dressed for such an occasion! Truth be told […]

Kathleen and Blake were real troopers during their engagement session, dealing with what seemed like hurricane like winds and very chilly temperatures, but it was all worth it once we got to this special spot that over looks Downtown Cincinnati. After battling the wind all day, it was at this point in the session where […]

In celebration of these events I have teamed up with my very talented friend and colleague Anna Lord to give away the ultimate wedding gift— […]

That warm Kentucky sun mixed in with Kathleen and Blake’s chemistry made for one magical engagement. These are just a few of my favorite moments from our first location at Neltner’s Farm in Northern Kentucky. Feel free to swoon now.

It’s finally feeling like Spring in the Midwest so what better time to share this bright and playful shoot I put together with some pretty talented creatives!? Pulling inspiration from our favorite elements of Spring ultimately led to this feminine and romantic shoot, which was featured over on Style Me Pretty! Event Design: Events Held Dear // […]
