On Friday I got to hang out with Kacey and Cory, their wedding is coming up in a few weeks at the end of July. We roamed all over Short North and really had a great time. I love Kacey’s cute polka dot bandana!

I have walked by this brown brick wall at least 15 times and have never used it in pictures, but on Friday the lighting was perfect, and I love the texture it gives.

It does seem like every session that I do I get a new favorite… and well, this is a new favorite for sure! Love love love it!

Chillin’ in the grass.

It was such a hot and humid day, and as we neared the end of our session, it just kept getting hotter, but there was a nice breeze down by the river, as you can see by the wind blowing through Kacey’s hair.

Another new favorite. I’m noticing reflections everywhere lately, and I’m loving finding a way to incorporate them into pictures.

I met Lauren and Nathan last week when they booked their September wedding with me. Lauren and I had been chatting on the phone all week prior to that, so I immediately felt like I knew her and Nathan when we first met. Now that we’ve hung out for this engagement session, I’m so excited to be a part of their wedding! They’re a great couple, and a lot of fun!

It was hard to pick favorites from this session as I had so many favs… so here are my top choices, and then the slideshow.

I’m pretty sure this one below is my new favorite image, I LOVE the blue and how pretty it makes Lauren’s eyes look.

We went all around downtown, and found some pretty amazing places… like these next few in the arena district.

I also love North Bank Park.

These below are also at North Bank Park, but you wouldn’t know it… these also come in close second as favorite images!

and finally, I love the romance of this one… so sweet!

It was great hanging out with these two. Thanks guys, it was wonderful to be able to capture your romantic side.

So Allie is three and a half, and learning new things like crazy!  She has been working on her letters for awhile now and has gotten pretty good.  Yesterday while playing with sidewalk chalk she started spelling her name… “A”  “L”  “L”  Like any good mom, I of course, was cheering her on like crazy… “I”  Then as I was praising her, she made the “I” into a “Y.”

So apparently she wants to spell her name “ALLY” instead of “ALLIE”

I flashed forward a few years to when she’s going to think it’s cool to spell her name differently, and I pictured myself remembering that this was the moment that all began.

Also like any good mom, I had my camera handy and took a pic.  Not too shabby for a 3 year old…

Last Friday, I met up with Bianca and Randy to do their engagement session. Due to weather and my crazy schedule, their engagement session kept getting rescheduled, but I’m so glad it did… because the weather was perfect and the flowers were gorgeous! We had a great time walking around the Park of Roses, and narrowly avoiding the sprinklers. Randy and Bianca are getting married this month, May 31, at the Kelton House, downtown.

So here are a few favs and, as usual, a slideshow.

I love this in black and white! These two are so great with each other, and are constantly making each other crack up. I definitely think laughter is key in a good marriage!

The flowers and trees were in their full glory that day. I love the movement in this one with the wind blowing through Bianca’s hair.

And a good black and white ol’ closeup. I just thought it was so sweet how they were staring into each others eyes.

And now the slideshow…

This was my second wedding from last Saturday, April 26. I just got caught up in being a mommy to my sick child this week and haven’t had a chance to blog until this morning. So now while Allie is peacefully sleeping (finally) I would love to share this beautiful wedding with all of you.

Mike and Lindsay have been such a joy to work with. I mean I love all my clients, but these two are just truly wonderful people. We’ve gotten to hang out several times, and it is always just relaxed and comfortable. I believe they could be friends with anybody, and I’m pretty sure they are. They also introduced me to Amanda Ellis of Bakery Gingham, which has been great as she and I have been able to network, and I’ve been able to eat her cupcakes… yum! Thanks guys for letting me be a part of all of this with you!

Ok, so here goes… as usual a few of my favorites, and then the slideshow.

Lindsay’s flowers were gorgeous! Here’s a shot of her bouquet, but all the flowers the whole day were amazing also.
They were done by Steven Cox, of Steven Cox Flowers, (614) 224-6555, he did a beautiful job.

Both the ceremony and the reception were held at Confluence Park Restaurant.

Here’s a shot of their beautiful wedding cake made by Amanda Ellis of Bakery Gingham. Not only was it pretty, but it tasted great too!
