When we found out we were pregnant again, I knew I wanted maternity photos taken this time around. I had visions of John kissing my belly and precious interactions between the three of us. The actual shoot did capture those interactions but the story behind these photos is hilarious and not at all what I had planned.

I was so excited when Bernadette asked me to a fall family session. I had taken their spring family photos earlier this year. Even in a few months, their two sweet children had grown up so much!

I met this beautiful family at their home for their fall family session. The golden light spilled through their backyard which allowed for some stunning photos with beautiful light. But the most beautiful part of this shoot was the love between the siblings and their parents.

When I asked Dalton, if she would be wearing a veil on her wedding day, she said “No, I’ll be wearing Ellie.” This babywearing bride looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The colors were perfect and I love how wearing Ellie in the wrap incorporated her into the wedding day in an unique and meaningful way.

Summer time=family time. I got to spend some time with this amazing and fun loving family! The kids loved aving thier aunt and her dog at the session and it made for some great shots!

This beautiful family was up from Texas in Steubenville visiting family for the 4th of July. I was so honored to take their photos on their family’s property. They have beautiful, fun loving children and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them!

What could be more magical than the golden hour light, pink petals and a sweet little girl in a white tutu?

Nothing. Brace yourselves for some beautiful and precious photos.

I have loved seeing this beautiful family grow over the past few years! Bernadette is a fellow photographer and I’m so blessed to photograph her family as it has grown over the past two years. When she asked to do a spring family shoot, I knew the exact location we needed to use because there were beautiful flowering trees on campus. Joel Michael and Bernadette were naturals in front of the camera and their two kids were adorable!
