A sneak peek at a few images from Lilly’s senior portraits. I have been so blessed over the many years of taking baby portraits and getting to watch these little humans grow up! Thank you, Jami and Lilly for giving me the opportunity to create these beautiful images!

A sneak peek to Grayson's senior pics. So glad you reached out to me, Andrea! He was a cutie as a toddler and kid, and now a young man. Where has the time gone?!

As I am preparing for one of my trips, I wanted to write a special thank you for those that have been so supportive to me over the years. I have written this post numerous times and that has been the reason for such short notice of my arrival to Ohio in a couple weeks.
I want to start by saying, life is short, recognize your joy and embrace it! Whether it is your family, your friends, your pet, your days on the lake, your garden... whatever it is that brings you joy, makes you smile, gives you something to look forward to... don't take it for granted. These are your blessings. Be thankful.
As I looked at some not-so-long-ago images, I've realized how precious life is. I am encouraging you all to get some professional photos taken this year. It doesn't have to be me. Just get them done.
If you are interested in a session or more than portraits... Capturing Your Joy, give me a call, let's talk! 419-668-3141

frost... one of the first images I captured on my new macro set up of frost. Amazing the intricacies of the frozen world.
