Janie & Chad, Married!!

Janie & Chad are married!  They had a beautiful ceremony at the Methodist Church in Bexley!  Originally they planned to have their ceremony at the little chapel on at Capital University then a few months before their memorial day weekend wedding, they got a phone call from someone at the University telling them the church was closed because it's filled with MOLD.  Fantastic news.  LUCKILY they were able to find a church who wasn't booked for their wedding date! 

Such a beautiful bride.  We can thank Sarah for that shot :) 
Janie & Chad wanted to do a first look, so that we had plenty of time for their photos.  LOVE that.  The front of the church has these BEAUTIFUL doors, so we HAD to use them.  
 

 Chad, whisper something dirty in her ear and make her laugh.... Don't know what he said, but it worked! 

 Rockin' the PINK HEALS! 

 Not to shabby for a last minute church, huh? :)
 I LOVE this one.... That Sun was so bright, but I love this.  Nice Sarah!

 Lots of photos around Capital, before the reception! 

 Janie made all of these centerpieces, didn't she do a fabulous job? 
 And of course, some photobooth fun before the night was over!

Congratulations you two, I wish you a lifetime of happiness!  Thank you for allowing Sarah and I to be a big part of your wedding day, we were honored to be there with you!

Carter turns ONE!

 Blog world, meet Carter.  Carter, Meet the blog world!  He's turning ONE!  His mommy is friends with  my friend (and second shooter) Sarah.  They were having a hard time getting their schedule to correlate for photos so Kristen asked me to do Carters first birthday photos.  Of course, I'd be honored :)  I've photographed him before at mini sessions...so you may recognize him.  Isn't he adorable?!

He wanted NOTHING to do with his cake.  In fact he gagged when Kristen put some in his mouth :(
 

Happy Birthday little guy.  I hope you have a wonderful party...complete with your bowl of olives :)

Meet Ashley & Ryan...

You've seen them before if you follow my blog or facebook page.  I've done photos for them several times before.  I used to babysit their little Kasch man.  They're getting married in June, in JAMAICA...and guess who is their photographer... THIS GIRL!  I can. not. wait.  I can't believe our trip is just 38 days away.  Ashley won a 30 minute session from me a few months ago from  contest I did on my fan page.... and she wanted to use it to do some photos of her and Ryan, as an engagement session!  We headed to the short north for their photos.  I LOVE their photos.  The colors were perfect.  I told Ashley her hair was awesome in photographs.  All clients; please dye your hair red :)

Ryan took that kiss serious.  :)

 I don't know what was going on behind that parasol...but I did hear some lip smacking going on!

 <3 love! 

 I showed this one to Ashley while we were out there...and she FREAKED.... I love how it turned out!
And I leave you with a foot shot... I love feet shots of all kinds :)

  Ashley & Ryan, I hope you enjoy these.  Thank you for allowing me to be your photographer for everything.  Kasch, family, engagement and wedding!  I am so excited for Jamaica :) Love you guys!

Alyvia turns 3, and Mason is 6 months!

 Meet my niece and nephew.  Aren't they cute? Alyvia is turning 3, and little Mason is 6 months old.  We did some photos in the studio and then we headed to Jeni's Ice cream for a sweet treat for Alyvia.  She loved it! 

This one is my favorite...I'm so in love with it.  I don't really know why...I guess it's her innocence!
