Viewing entries in
engagement photography
It turns out that Ben had decided to propose just a few days before our scheduled session. After a happily congratulating the couple, Holly asked me if we could extend the photo appointment and do some engagement photos. You are in love? You want to bring your dogs? You want me to do your photographs? Yes, please!
I had the pleasure of attending the Refresh and Renew Retreat a couple weekends ago. The goal of the weekend was “for us all to share our strengths, learn from our weaknesses, gain new knowledge and create lasting friendships along the way”. Organized by Emily Manders and Amanda Mifsud, the weekend was to be equal parts refreshing and challenging. Just what I needed after a busy season to start the year on the right foot!
A true snow day means staying at home, but that’s a great time for playing games, building forts, baking cookies and watching movies. Even the pets will appreciate the extra attention and play time with their family. If it is a heavy snowfall, but very little wind chill there is nothing more fun than bundling up and going outside. Use your imaginations to create snow sculptures, walls to hide behind for snowball fights, or alien worlds where creatures are tracking you.
Nick and Kristina had a beautiful winter wedding in Toledo on December 21st. The ceremony took place at Christ the King Catholic church and the reception was held at the Nederhouser Community Hall at Olander Park in Sylvania. In between, we stopped at the Toledo Botanical Gardens for some wedding portraits and bridal party photos. It was a 50 degree day but we were lucky enough to find a tiny bit of snow lingering on the ground. Ohio is truly the land of strange weather combinations and it actually worked out perfectly for us!
Rachel and Forrest were a dream to work with. They were fun and relaxed. They were cute and VERY into each other. It is so refreshing to see people who are so passionate about their relationship. We started the session by exploring the Toledo Botanical Gardens together. The gardens have so many unique spots, they provided some beautiful variety! Next, we went to the cute main street area of Downtown Sylvania for a slightly more urban look. I am so happy with how this session turned out. Congratulations Rachel and Forrest!
