May 2020 was filled with FUN! We started to emerge from our time at home and it was so refreshing for the soul! We started going on more walks, spending more time outside and we started to go back to Mass! It felt like a new year! In early May, we played a lot in […]

Oh springtime engagements, they are just so lovely! Downtown Steubenville, Ohio has become one of my favorite places to photograph engagement sessions! There’s such charm and character to this small city which has been my home for 11 years now! The historic part of Fourth Street is beautiful and provides such a great array of […]

On probably the most perfect, sunny and just plain gorgeous spring day we meet up with Monica and Mitchell at his family’s farm just outside of Steubenville, OH for their engagement session.  The weather was incredibly perfect: bright sunny sky, around 70 degrees and no wind…the perfect formula for glowy sunset photos!  I love shooting […]

These two! This session was just filled with laughter! Tom and Juli are two very joyful people who I know very well!

Spring is my favorite season and I love watching the world come alive […]

On a beautiful spring day, Tiana and AJ were wed. This was not where, when or how they ever pictured their wedding day, but nonetheless, it was perfect and beautiful.  Their small, intimate ceremony took place on the campus of Franciscan University of Steubenville in the simple and yet stunning Portiuncula Chapel that is beloved […]

This decision was especially […]
