On Friday, Abby & I headed on the turnpike to Berea Ohio where, yours truly grew up...It was super weird driving down roads that I haven't seen in years and to be in a city I haven't lived in for 8 years.  To anyone who moved away from the city they grew up in, you know the bizarro feeling of returning.

Val and Ben were married at the Cleveland Zoo outside the Rainforest, which was a super rad place to get married! They had an intimate, low-key wedding.  Obviously, these two are a super cute couple, if they were cartoons they would have hearts animating all around them.... it felt as though they did.  Enjoy a few favourites...

I met Kieran's mommy a couple weeks ago at a wedding, and was absolutely thrilled to do portraits of this little sweetie!  Other than her being absolutely adorable, I loved all of her little expressions and inquisitive looks.  Photographing babies is probably the most relaxing, stress-free type of session possible.... it is also amazing to think that in her life, she will have her photograph taken professionally many times, but these will have been the first. 

Thank you Leslie & Chris for letting me spend a few hours with your precious little Kieran.

Tis the season for engagement shoots, can you tell??? For Renee and Greg's engagement shoot we explored yet another abandoned farmhouse in the area, laughed a lot, and talked wedding.  I'm pumped for the fall wedding at some of the most gorgeous venues in the area!  Enjoy!!

Keri and Steve are my super cool, hot, stylish, New York City couple... they are totally in love, super excited about photography, and trust whatever crazy suggestion I throw out at them... Keri rocked her Christian Louboutin booties on an über filthy abandonded railcar... YES, she's that awwwesome!  I had the motto in my head, go big or go home, for their shoot... so I shot a lot, they made my job easy by just being their gorgeous selves... and here's the delightfully photo-packed blog post.  Can't wait for September 5th!!!
