The (not so little anymore) Harris family.. I love them! Added to the family this year was baby Grace! I have a soft spot for little baby girls in my heart. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the fact of never having a sister and always wishing I had one! So, of course, I was completely drawn to this little beauty. Their family shoot was full of personality, as I expected nothing less, and I loved every minute of it! I always have an absolute blast with Steph and her family because we never know what is going to happen! Children are merely unpredictable.

Take a look through this fun and entertaining family session

Oh this kiddo makes me laugh!

Carver and his doggie.. so cute!

Sweet little happy girl I had a gift for little Grace, and we discovered it matched her outfit perfectly. Her headband is from Betsey’s Boutique Shop in Rockford, Ohio!

Time for mom & dad’s picture time!

The happy family!

Steph, thank you once again for having me capture family images for you! I always have SO MUCH FUN! Your family is beautiful and I am so happy I have had the pleasure to be a small part of it. I’m so excited for Grace’s one year session coming up soon! All My Love, Ashley

I have had a fun journey with these two, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time together. They are such a kind and warmhearted couple, and it all started with a referral who both Brittani and I are related to. (Thanks, Chris!!) I was so excited to get to know Brittani and Luke through their engagement session! Engagement sessions really help me to get a sense of who the couple is and how they interact with each other.

Leading up to their wedding day I couldn’t have been more excited It was a beautiful day with perfect warm weather.

Brittani and Luke opted for a first look which, of course, I was thrilled about! We were able to take all of their shots before hand so that they could rest easy after their ceremony.

LOVE THIS!!

Brittani, you are stunning.

Their ceremony took place in downtown Berne, so I took full advantage of one of my favorite spots to go.. Edelweiss!

Ceremony time! I love the way Luke looks at her. (BTW, this is AFTER their first look!)

My favorite portrait of the day!

Look closely

Brittani and Luke, thank you so much for bringing me into the most precious moments of your life together. I am truly honored. I wish you the best of luck in life and marriage. God Bless!

Take a minute to enjoy my favorites from her session.

Love her giggles …

…. and spunk!

Kiernon, you are just so cute! I had a blast working with you and I’m honored you chose me to capture your senior images! I wish you all the best!!

This is Miss Tinley and our first little one to join the Little Sprouts Program! You will be seeing a lot of her as we will be doing another session in less than 3 months! The Little Sprouts includes a full year of sessions with one every 3 months. By doing the program you will actually be getting one session for free! It’s a great way to have those growing memories, and to save a little while doing it. Tinley was an absolute doll to work with today and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! Babies are one of my ultimate favorites to work with!

My poor blog is being neglected due to the crazy wedding season already. Between designing wedding invitations, other graphic design related projects, and planning my own wedding, the blog is feeling the lack of attention. I want to get everyone caught up on last year’s great weddings as this year’s season is approaching quickly!

This is the sweet Jeramy and Haley. Their love is infectious. You can’t help but feel their love for each other when you’re around them.

They are truly a wonderful couple. I can’t say enough good things about these two! I absolutely loved them the first time I met them. (See their engagement session here.) You know when you are around people that you feel like you’ve known forever? That’s these two! (The funny thing is, I’ve lived about 2 or 3 miles from Haley for a long time and never knew it!) I have always felt so comfortable around them and the conversations have always been, well, easy. I knew their wedding day wouldn’t be any different!

I absolutely adore this girl! I would have to say that she’s a country girl at heart. I may be wrong, but any girl that volunteers to stand in the weeds/field/mud in their wedding gown and heels on their wedding day, so the groom won’t see them, is a girl that is okay with a little dirt. She’s A-Okay in my book!

Haley, you are stunning!

Haley and Jeramy decided to do a first look before the wedding! I couldn’t have been more happy! And, it allowed us to get so many more images and to finish all of their images before the wedding ceremony even began!

I loved Jeramy’s reactions to his bride! This is proof that a first look will not ruin these moments! The emotional reactions are still there

See what I mean about their love being infectious?! I love these! They are so happy together.

These girls are too cute for words!

Jeramy and Haley, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture images for you through your journey. You were amazing to work with and I wish you all of the very best. I was so happy to hear that there will be a baby Chaires in the near future as well! Congratulations!

I remember Sean when he was just a little boy running around on the baseball field. Summer’s were basically lived up at the park with my brother’s also being on the ball team. Now, Sean is all grown up and soon will be hitting the world of college! His mom, Marci, contacted me to do some portraits for  Sean’s senior year. We ventured around town and found some great spots for Sean’s images. I especially had fun with the last image and his series of sports images.

Good luck with the remainder of your senior year, Sean! It will certainly fly by!

The above image of Alex and Lindsay is my favorite from their engagement session. I think I said a million times that day what a nice evening we had to work with. It was simply perfect. The lighting was yummy, the temperature was comfortable, and the location was special. Lindsay and Alex took me to her grandparent’s place which had special meaning to them. Her grandparent’s were more than happy to have Alex and Lindsay there having images captured of them together on their property.

I love the way they smile at each other.  It won’t be long and the wedding will be here. I am very excited for that day to come!

I traveled to Jackson Center for Nicole’s senior session. We had some great spots to shoot at; one of my favorites being Cafe Verandah. This is one of my favorite get-away spots for lunch with the girls. The menu and atmosphere is phenomenal. It was a great fit to start Nicole’s session at. We then traveled to her home, grandparents home, and her aunt Lori’s home. Each beautiful in it’s own way. Nicole is a very calm, sweet, and polite girl. Please enjoy some of her senior images. You will see more of Nicole as she was in her sister’s wedding this past October that I happened to shoot!

I wish you the best of luck in the future, Nicole!

Great light and a great night for Peyton’s senior session. This brunette beauty has a great attitude with the smarts to match it! She has turned into a beautiful and lovely young woman and I was thrilled to capture senior portraits for her.

I especially adored her simple little white dress. It went great with the locations that I had in mind.  Peyton, you are a doll. Thank you for choosing me to capture these images for you. I know your mom was super thrilled with the little box she received with all of your precious images Best of luck to you!
