It’s January 18th and it’s been exactly a month since I’ve blogged.  I was looking at posts from January of last year and in one of them I said, “Winter seems like this huge, ugly giant that is just stretched out forever before me.” I feel that way this year too.
I could make a list [...]

Marty & Diane’s wedding was October 22nd, and boy – you couldn’t have asked for a nicer autumn Ohio day for a wedding!  The leaves were at their peak color, the day was unusually warm for late October and everything went without a hitch (at least from my perspective) for just the loveliest, sweetest wedding.
I [...]

This past weekend, I met up with David and Julianne in Dublin, Ohio to do their engagement shoot.  I was really skeptical about the weather that day – the reports were calling for high winds and I was afraid it would make shooting really difficult.  I’m so glad that Julianne wanted to go ahead and [...]

A couple of weekends ago, I met up with Nick and the beautiful, glowing Jayne to do their maternity shoot in uptown Westerville.  I photographed their wedding a few years ago (it seems so long ago to me!) and Jayne’s brother’s wedding this summer, so it was fun to do another shoot for their family.  We had [...]

Marty & Diane are two friends of ours from church.  They got engaged in Chicago earlier in the summer and are getting married at the end of October – the very most romantic time of the year to get married (although I may be a bit biased!)  Marty is an English teacher and Diane is [...]

This week was bananas.  B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
On top of some on-going sad things I’ve been working through, my camera got stolen on Sunday at the Ohio Renaissance Fest. Well, it was either stolen, or dropped out of my purse (I think it was stolen).   My camera and my very best, favorite, most expensive lens that I [...]

Despite the forecast calling for “scattered thunderstorms” all afternoon yesterday, Ian, Kate and I decided to go for it and still do their engagement shoot.  I’m so glad we did.  No thunderstorms but just a really nice afternoon walking around The Peggy McConnell Arts Center and old town Worthington. Kate did a great job of [...]

Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing Aaron & Kylie’s wedding day. Aaron has been a long time friend of the Frederick family (in fact, he played violin at our wedding!) and I really just got to know Kylie yesterday as I spent the day with her.  She completely embodies graciousness, sweetness and loveliness, and I think [...]

A few weeks ago, our friends Ben & Katie asked me to photograph their youngest son, Mesfin’s 2nd birthday party.  This was Mesfin’s first birthday since he came home this past winter, so his party was a very special occasion!  As I was watching him swim, eat his birthday cake, open his gifts, and have [...]

What a happy day Jonathan & Ann’s wedding was!  It was such a special experience to not just see my dear friend Ann marry her best friend, but to also get to document the day.  I smile when I think of all the special details of their wedding day: Ann’s silver TOMS shoes, punchy red dahlia bouquets, [...]
