Abby & David | Edgewater Beach Cleveland Engagement

Things I will always remember about Abby and David's engagement session:

• How cold it was. December on the lake? Yep, cold.
• The giant fish skeleton we almost stepped on. Eek!
• How playful these two are. :)

Hollynn & Allen | Schoepfle Gardens Engagement

Hollynn will always stand out in my mind for being one of the sweetest, most complimentary brides at a consultation ever! Allen wasn't able to meet with us that first time, so it was just us girls + Hollynn's best friend (Hi Danni!). We had a fun time talking about anything and everything, and I just knew I would like Allen because of how great Hollynn was.

I finally met this couple together on possibly the most gorgeous September day of them all. We wandered around Schoepfle Gardens, snapped photos here and there … oh, and over there too! Allen was reserved but just as sweet as Hollynn and I knew, I just knew, that their Hocking Hills wedding was going to be one for the books. Here's to October 2015! :)

Film Mini Shoot #2 | Emily & Keith

I so, SO look forward to shooting with film each and every time I go to one of these mini shoots. Film is really a breath of fresh air for me, and I adore  playing with the light and waiting in anticipation for these digital scans to arrive in my Inbox. I've learned to be more deliberate about each shot and really take my time and think through what I'm doing. It's such a nice pace.

A HUGE thanks to my cute former assistant, Emily, and her husband, Keith, for agreeing to model for my Mamiya. :) You guys are so good!

P.S. There are a couple digital photos mixed in here. Can you tell which is which? Hint: The digital photos are a different size than the film!

Emily and Keith were married two years ago and have such awesome respect and affection for each other.

Oh you guys. These next two? They're my FAVORITES!

I just looooove the light coming through those trees!
