Michelle & Samuel | Engagement Session Sneak Peek | Dayton, Ohio

Congratulations to Michelle & Samuel on their engagement! We are looking forward to photographing their wedding in just a few short weeks. They will be married in September at Benham's Grove in Centerville.

We got together for a quick engagement session last weekend and had some fun making great memories. Michelle & Samuel have a great chemistry which made a great atmosphere for some amazing candid images. Their wedding will be a blast!

Rylie

I love Mommy & Daddy Studios because I get to see the little ones grow up through the years. Rylie is 4 already, he is growing up so fast! It was so much fun to photograph his family and see how much he is changing.

Since I had a chance to snap a few of his family, I though I would post my favorite of little Bella with her mom. She's just so adorable too, I had to share!

Nikki & Zirome | Wedding

Nikki looked amazing in her gown. I photographed some images of her trying on the beautiful dress when she picked it up from Athena's Bridal. She seemed so happy and you could tell she was really excited for her big day.

The big day came and Nikki looked fabulous! They had many friends and family to enjoy in their day. It was really a special day for them.

We have such an honor in photographing so many couples who seem absolutely perfect for each other and deeply in love. Nikki and Zirome are no exception to this. They compliment each other, they seem like the best of friends.

We were even lucky enough to catch a few moments of the happy couple alone during sunset, one of our favorite times to photograph newlyweds.

Best of luck to Nikki & Zirome and your beautiful families!

Spring | KE365 | Day 123

I think spring might finally really be here...

and then I look out the window here in Ohio and see snow flakes!

Relief | KE365 | Day 122

Something about those first days back at the park in spring time, such a relief.

As a mom, it's amazing to go back to the park after being stuck inside all winter and see all the new things your child can do this year compared to the year before. Just another reminder to me of how fast life goes.

Two of My Favorite Things | KE365 | Day 121

My daughter's eyes are two of my favorite things. I'm sure it's the same for most parents with their little ones.

She can light up any bad day I'm having. She is perfect, just the way she is.

Super Moon | KE365 | Day 120

I'm thankful my husband pulled over for me to get these shots on the way home the other night. I photograph the moon so often that it only makes sense that I should photograph the super full moon.

I was also lucky he picked a good spot to stop and decided to do a long exposure because the reflection on the pond was so beautiful.

Sick Days | KE365 | Day 119

My poor sweet thing is so sick. I have never seen her like this and could not resist documenting it.

At least it made her smile when she saw her picture! She is my sunshine and I cannot stand to see her like this!

Deserae and James | Engagement

They happened to cross paths while traveling through Dayton International Airport. They met at the gate and ended up chit chatting through their whole flight.

Deserae and James met, fell in love and now they're getting married. They chose to have their engagement session done in a place that was familiar to them and memorable to the beginning of their relationship.

They lived far away from each other but knew right away that they were perfect for each other. Deserae moved to Dayton from Boston because she was so sure James was the one. The way they compliment each other is so sweet.

They have a beautiful story for everything, even their ring. They had it custom made with stones that came from both of their grandmother's. It is stunning.

It was a true pleasure to photograph this couple. Deserae and James will be married this June, best of luck you two!

Karey and Jeff's Winter Wedding

Just a little sneak peek for Karey and Jeff who had a beautiful winter wedding. They got married in a little old church out in the country, the wedding was so unique. The church had those wonderful old windows that you don't see in new churches and the end of their wedding happened right at sunset and dusk which cast such a gorgeous light into the old church.

They are both so clearly in love that they radiated it the whole day and they put such thought into the details it clearly showed. The church was packed with loved ones and friends who traveled from afar to see their special day.

Bella Turns One!

First Birthday sessions are always fun, this time it was Bella's turn! She was super happy and excited as she has been every time I have had the pleasure of photographing her.

She has such beautiful eyes.
