Let's try this again...

Christy and her family

Her brother Mike and his family

Grandma and Grandpa with all their grandkids

I can't believe I photographed this little woman as a newborn

Christy has been my sister, Nina's best friend for as long as I can remember. She was there for my nephew's births, helped in planning all of Nina's showers and parties for her wedding, they went to high school together, lived together, were pregnant together, and they are both going through nursing school together. I think by proxy she is my fifth sister...

We had planned on going to Devou Park in Covington for their session. I had just done a couple of shoots there the previous week and wanted to change it up so I suggested we head across the river to Ault Park instead. This is a beautiful park with lots of different areas to shoot. We were lucky to still have some colorful fall foliage as a back drop for some of the shots.

It was such a beautiful November day, and I loved spending it with such great people!

This is a test this is only a test...(and a cute picture of my dog)

I am not sure what is going on with my last post... the pictures keep disappearing then reappearing. I hate when things do not run smooth. Hmm......I might have to repost that one.

He loves to bask in the sun, I think he gets that from me.

Cincinnati Family Portraits

Just a tiny, bright eyed peak of the super cuteness I experienced today! I cant wait to share more...

I love this time of year!/Cincinnati Family Photographer

Fall, my favorite time of year. Beautiful colors, perfect weather, wind blowing, leaves falling, I love all of it. I am lucky to live in such a beautiful place, where the landscape turns into a colorful blanket of beautiful oranges, yellows, and reds for a few weeks each year. Though I hate what comes next, the bitter cold winter, there is something so poetic about watching the seasons change. Change is a crucial part of life though sometimes I find myself brutally afraid of it... I am slowly learning I must embrace change, to appreciate it, and to even be inspired by it. The more I allow myself to change the more I allow myself to grow as an artist and a person.

These are from a session I did last weekend at Devou Park in Covington. I loooove this park, especially this time of year. The leaves provide a wonderful backdrop to fun fall portraits. This is a friend of mine from high school, Erica. One more reason you really gotta love Facebook. I haven't seen her in years, but through Facebook we were able to keep in touch and even schedule a photo session! I really had a great time with you and your family Erica. Chloe is such a doll. I hope you guys love these as much as I do!

Cincinnati Family Portraits

This family is too sweet, I was glad to finally have the chance to photograph them. We started out with the group pictures. I think is important to do these first while we have everyone's attention when there are four kids involved.   After the "family portrait" we let the kids run around the park while I photographed them playing and interacting with each other. I love the way these pictures turned out. They all looked so good in their matching outfits. Katie you did such a great job picking them out. 

Travis and Treenah Part Three/Cincinnati Wedding Photography

Here is a little more from Travis and Treenah's beautiful fall wedding. The ceremony was held at 12 mile Baptist Church in California, Ky. This church is the perfect ceremony venue because of its timeless steeple and natural backdrop.

After the ceremony we headed  across the river to the Cincinnati Museum Center. Since Travis is a chef, who once worked for the museum, I knew the food would be outstanding.  I was right, sooo good!   The staff, who are all close friends of the couple, prepared a beautiful dinner and were pleasant to work with. Thanks you for the wonderful time!

Something I have always loved about the greater Cincinnati area is how diverse the landscape is. You can be in the country with wild turkeys running around one minute then drive 10 miles or so to end up in the hustle and bustle of the city.  It gives you lots of options when planning your wedding.  

I am having such a hard time choosing what pictures to post, I love all of them! Check out the portfolio section of my website soon, I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of these two there.
