Dog and Family Portrait Session - Highbanks ...

It’s always a treat to capture families with their dogs! I had so much fun working with Nicole, Dave, Andrew, Lexie, and their dog Zoey during their family portrait session last year. We went to Highbanks Metro Park which has many dog-friendly areas that are great for photographs. We captured the family amongst wooded and grassy areas, and on the banks of the Olentangy River. We loved working with everyone including their Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Zoey!

Jeffrey 1st Birthday and Family Portraits - ...

I’m so excited to feature Jeffrey’s first birthday session! I’ve been blessed to know his parents Jack and Karla as friends and past wedding clients and was so honored to capture their son Jeffrey’s 1st birthday portraits! Jeffrey is a bright-eyed, smart, curious, and happy boy who loves playing with his toys, snuggling with his parents, and reading. It was such a treat to capture him and his wonder for the world during his session, along with some updated family portraits of him with Jack and Karla.

Since Ohio weather can be unpredictable in the spring, we scheduled their session at local studio, The Barn at Be Changed Studio in Westerville. It was a beautiful location for Jeffrey’s session and we were able to capture Jeffrey and their family portraits in a unique space.

James Family Portraits - Everal Barn - ...

I loved every second of working with the James family last summer at the Everal Barn in Westerville! Family photos are one of the best ways to capture your loved ones for all time and they are one of my favorite things to photograph. It was such a treat to capture 3 generations of the James family - grandparents, parents and aunts, and grandchildren - all together for their family portraits. Time goes by fast and children grow up quickly, so it’s extra special when extended families can gather together and capture little ones before their next growth spurt.

Senior Dog Thor and Family Portrait Session - Whetstone Park of Roses - Columbus, Ohio

It was such an honor to capture senior dog Thor with his family! We had a wonderful time working with the Moeller family to highlight their sweet dog, Thor and capture them all together at the Park of Roses in Columbus, Ohio. For so many of our clients, their dogs are more than a pet, they are truly part of the family. It’s one of my greatest honors to make sure they are captured as the important family member they are in photographs you’ll treasure for all time.

Family and Dog-Friendly - Holiday Mini Sessions - Columbus, Ohio

We had so much fun kicking off the holiday season during our Holiday Mini Sessions! A huge thank you to all of our clients and their dogs who attended! It’s always such an honor to capture our clients’ families and their furry companions. Our Holiday Mini Sessions were dog-friendly and specially designed for families, children, couples, and pets. This year we partnered with a local studio space in Grove City, Ohio to set-up 3 unique backdrop options in a dog-friendly, indoor environment. This year’s backdrops included: Snowy Bridge, Holiday Sparkle, and Cozy Christmas. We had a blast working with our clients, their pets, and their children during their sessions and are so pleased with the final images!
