There are some things that come together so perfectly you’d think they must be planned… Like for instance: say you arrive in a location that you’ve never really been to, and you’re supposed to get your senior photos taken there. And let’s say you’re part of your marching band’s drumline, and […]
When I met Kelly for the first time, she lightly dropped a casual, no big deal, summer bbq type of question along the lines of: “So tell me who you are – what are you passionate about?” Yeah – just casual conversation… Hah! I already knew by that point that […]
Is it just me, or does the first day of school feel like a national holiday? Fresh school supplies, the perfect outfit, cheering crowds and giddy excitement, and best of all: tiny humans wearing huge backpacks. I would gladly celebrate this every day! Every year, I am thrilled to be […]
I love the natural, confident glow of this Dayton professional. And I especially love the pride she takes in her city! Her first request for our shoot was to feature downtown Dayton, and its beautiful river in particular, as the backdrop for her new headshots. Done! Oh, and I also […]

This may be one of my favorite sessions (so far) of 2019. You know it’s going to be a good session when the request starts with “I want some photos of me and my dog,” the dog in question is a gorgeous pooch that radiates magic like the queen she […]
When this beautiful mom contacted me about a family shoot with her 2 little boys, she prepared me that I would be in for a “handful.” I never know how seriously to take this type of warning! Should I be worried? Should I blow it off? In the end, I […]
