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.

Spring Family & Pet Portrait Session - Puppy Dog In-Home Portraits - Columbus, Ohio

I love all dogs, but it’s hard not to melt when meeting a new puppy! I recently had the honor of capturing Yorkie puppy Teeghan and his siblings Piper, Fozzie, and Bennie with their moms, Ashley and Steph. Teeghan had just been welcomed home the week before his portrait session and Ashley wanted to make sure that he got his ‘close-up’ while he was still a young pup! I’m so glad we were able to capture him with my camera when I did, as he’s been growing fast!

It was such a treat to photograph them at their home. In-home sessions are an incredible way of capturing your loved ones somewhere that is special to you and to make a new memory in your home! Pets are a such an important part of the family, and it’s always an honor to capture them as a family member, not just a pet. We made some great photographs of the dogs, as well as with their person.

Baby Daniel and Family Portraits - In-Home Session - Columbus, Ohio

Hello Baby Daniel! There’s always something magical about capturing little ones! I had the honor of photographing Daniel and his family in the comfort of their home, during an in-home portrait session earlier this spring. Daniel was about 6 weeks old for the session and his personality and curiosity for the world was starting to shine through.
