We met up with Rose and John this week for their summery engagement session on the campus of Franciscan University of Steubenville. The light was absolutely perfect as we walked around campus, stopping at various spots. I especially loved how the light sofly fell in the grass on a patch of little white clover flowers! […]

April began with Holy Week and Easter and it set the tone for the rest of the month.  It was a month filled with joy! We all could feel the newness of spring. The days were bright, warm and the flowers on the trees were putting on a show.  We did have a *brief* stint […]

It’s the time of year again! Senior portraits! I feel like the class of 2021 learned so much about what is important by watching the class of 2020 this past year.  They know that senior dances and even an in person graduation aren’t a given.  They have learned to savor the moment, not take anything […]

Imagine the most perfect early fall day, the warm sun shining, some passing clouds and ending the day with a cool breeze. Ok now picture a beautiful Airbnb on a farm in the country, a large white tent lit with string lights and filled with your closest and dearest friends and family. The sounds of […]

Caroline and Dale met a few summers back while both serving on Totus Tuus teams in Cincinnati.  Their friendship began to form that summer and eventually that friendship grew deeper, into love.  They both went to college at Franciscan University of Steubenville so it was the perfect setting for their engagement session.  Fun fact about […]

Summer is in full swing here! This month was full of fun for the kids! It’s been such a joy watching how our kids grow and change throughout each summer.  We are in toddler/young kid mode around here and I started both kids in some summer activities! Grace has begun gymnastics which is absolutely adorable. […]

Joy is contagious.  It spreads, it radiates, it fills and it strengthens.  When I think about MaryCeline and Maximilian’s wedding day, joy is exactly the word that comes to mind. Matthew and I have had the gift of getting to know these two as students at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH.  Something that is unique […]

I feel as though the passage of time this spring has been rather odd.  Some days are very long and other weeks just fly by.  And yet when I look back on the month of April, it seems like it was eons ago. As I was editing through last month’s photos, I was reminded of […]

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many couples to make tough decisions about their wedding plans.  Some had to postpone but some decided to move up their timeline and get married earlier than planned.  Lily and Wiatt had originally planned their wedding for this summer but as the rules for gathering of groups became more and more […]
