Pictures at the Park 2012

My Little Lady

It has been way too long, but if anything was going to get me to find time for a new post it's my sweet daughter. It's Kailyn's 4th Birthday! Every year I put together a collage of how she has changed. For her first birthday I picked a photograph from each month and designed her birthday invitation with them. I still love it and always will. It is one of my favorite keepsakes from her first year.

I had no idea just how much my life would change when I met this little girl, the very first time our eyes met. She has taught me so many things, completely changed my goals and my life in a positive way. I could not imagine where I would be right now, I just know I would not be nearly the same person I am. I will save most of what I have to say about my amazing daughter for her photo album, she is so special that those details are just for her and our family. Although, I will share with you her amazing smile, it's too contagious not too!

This year she seems to have grown up so much and I couldn't wait to get her new collage done to see just how much she has changed. I picked one from when she was born and each birthday including this year.

In the back of my mind I'm already thinking about what she will look like next year and what her collage will look like when she is 10! =) I would appreciate if it would all go just a tad bit slower though!!

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
