A Toast to Good Timing

When the time is right, it’s right. And nothing – not rain, and not even a global pandemic – can change that.

The time was right for Brenda and Mike this weekend, as they stood in their cozy living room, surrounded by the love of friends and family (virtually, of course!) to say their vows and exchange rings.

TEDxYouth @ Dayton, 2020

This is one of my favorite events of the year! TED is such a cool organization, and I especially love how the TEDxYouth offshoot has grown to further amplify the voices of young people all over the world. TEDxYD (TEDxYouth@Dayton) is in its fifth year (hence this year’s theme “Take […]

Wedding Warmth

Zelda Fitzgerald said: “Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold.” That may be true, but I bet if Zelda could somehow measure the look these two are giving each other, we’d be one step closer to knowing just how much a heart can hold. Many […]

Love Is Love

The photos from this event – this beautiful union of two beautiful people – are so special to me. I was lucky enough to be a part-time guest and part-time photographer at this wedding. Mandi and Sarah are not only dear friends; they represent an expression of love that is […]

ConGRADS!

Congratulations to the Miami Valley School class of 2019! I’ll admit that even though I don’t personally know these kids very much at all (other than taking their pictures all year at school events), I got choked up more than once at this year’s commencement activities. Aside from the beautiful […]
