The morning glow, the quiet anticipation, the laughter echoing off century-old walls.

Bridget and her girls got ready for the big day at the magnificent Atheneum Hotel in Chautauqua, and it was nothing short of cinematic. The light, the legacy, the lineage of love in that room—it all set the tone for a day that was deeply heartfelt and gorgeously refined.

Weddings in spaces like this feel sacred. Historic. Rooted.

There’s something sacred about returning to photograph the same family through each chapter of life. From their wedding through each pregnancy and welcoming their second Raymond on the shores of Lake Erie. It’s always been light-filled, playful, and full of love with Amber & John.

✨

What makes a family session unforgettable?

It’s not just the light or the location—it’s the way your kid looks at you when they think no one’s watching. That’s what I’m always chasing.

Summer sessions are open in Cleveland and beyond— DM me to create portraits you’ll treasure.

Some portraits are still. Some breathe.

Ashley Reker, teaching presence and power in every movement at Yoga Barre & Lounge in Hudson, with a reminder that balance doesn’t always mean stillness—it can also mean strength, grace, and deep inner focus.

Now booking creative sessions for wellness professionals, movement artists, and mindful brands.

Let’s make portraits that feel as good as they look.

This wedding gave me everything I love—honest connection, poetic light, and the space to create art from real life.

Tessa & Ben, your vows beneath the trees in Traverse City were magic. The kind that lingers. Authentic, adventurous, and full of heart—just like the two of you.

Our father, my best friend, my hero.

To me you are now everywhere, in everything. Seeking you I need only breathe, be still and listen. Breathe, with eyes closed to see.

Winged wonder, effortlessly flying by. There you are. No longer in a body, you are now my sky.

Share memories & support the family

Summertime greetings to you lovely souls!

As the sun and clouds dance in the sky above us, I find myself immersed in a whirlwind of enchanting moments with incredible clients that become fast friends, practically family.

My apologies, dear ones, for always seeming to neglect our digital storefront. So it seems time is as ever-present yet intangible as waves upon the shore.

In each breath, I feel the fortune it is to witness the radiant smiles and tender love of couples, families, and entrepreneurs pursing their passions. These to name a few manifestations of the love stories we live amidst, each uniquely embodying the tale of souls - enveloping & unfolding in a world brimming with beauty and possibility. Exalting and preserving the moments & details that create the tapestry of love in the world in which we live has become my sincerest devotion.

Truly I am honored & humbled to be a witness and storyteller of this ecstatic dance - eternal love. These breathtaking moments I promise to unveil to you in time. Thank you for sticking around to celebrate together the art of love.

Wishing a happy birthday weekend to my new besties - Billy & his absolutely incredible fiancé, my east-coast sister, Jackie! Hope you two have twice as much fun as we did for your engagement session - a challenge for sure, but I know you’ve got this!

A short walk full of long awaited anticipation. The first look is a way to see your beloved and acknowledge the gravity of your day, together. It is also a chance to take photos in your all your glory and a relief on the timeline for the rest of the day.

If you’ve ever been a part of a wedding party, you know that no matter how smoothly the morning goes, there is a palpable sense of anxiety/excitement. To be able to look forward to joining up with your love before the ceremony makes it all the more doable.

Melissa was beyond thrilled to see Michael. Before the first look she knew it, “I just need to see Michael and everything will be alright.” And the way they laughed off the pressure together was unbelievable!!

✨Are you considering having a first look?

✨If you’re already married, did you have a first look? Would you do it all again the same way you did or would you have done something differently??

Excited to hear your thoughts - your insight could be a defining factor in the way someone’s wedding plays out 🙏🏼

It’s officially spring! Almost ready to jump back in after a long social media cleanse… well almost, right after a meditation course, 10 days of silence - a welcome challenge in preparation for the busy seasons ahead.

While I’m away, be prepared for an INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER!! My brilliant studio assistant Monica is taking over my Instagram account. She has creative freedom to share whatever she likes and as much as her heart desires!

Stay tuned for all kinds of goodness 🤍 see you on the other side 🧘🏻‍♀️ ✌🏼 ⛅️

Newlyweds Alyssa & Stephen, looking like politicians that have professional modeling careers on the side! This day was unforgettable and I feel so fortunate to have captured it from start to finish.
