Shortly before returning to Ohio from our month long work-vacation in St. Petersburg, FL, Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Chris + Kristi. On vacation themselves, they wanted to take advantage of the Florida sunshine and beach before Kristi was deployed for duty. Hoping to capture a few memories to help manage their time apart from one another, they decided to do a cute mini session on the beach at sunset. Madeira Beach was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Enjoy these beautiful Florida beach sunset photos!

Last weekend Donny & I had the privilege of photographing Ben + Angie in celebration of their engagement & upcoming wedding next year. We chose the beautiful Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL as our location. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots to shoot on the gulf given the variety of settings offered, including the beach, pier, fort, a 19th century battery, and surrounding land. Donny & I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this gorgeous sunset engagement session with such a lovely soon-to-be-married couple!

Meet Tracey and her adorable “mini me.” 🙂 We got to meet up for a Mommy & Me session at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida a few weeks ago and I’m so glad we did! These two were such a joy to be around; I felt like they were old friends. We had a great time roaming through the paths, petting dogs (YAY to people who let me pet their dogs!!), swatting all the mosquitos (oh, Florida… #swampland), and soaking up the evening golden sunlight.

Alex and Becca are the kind of people you want to be friends with – that’s the best way I can describe them! We met up on a frigid, snowy day at Poland Municipal Forest for a fun, nature-filled engagement session. They brought along their beautiful white husky, Hafis, their parents, and fresh coffee and creamer to share (which totally went a long way because we couldn’t feel our fingers)! Poland woods quickly turned into one of my absolute favorite photography locations in the Youngstown area. It just has so many unique elements and lovely scenery!

Meet Koda, Shadow, Neko, Balto and Jenna — five newborn husky babies ready to take on the world! When my fiancé, Donny, and I found out his parents dog, Kloie, was preggers, we knew we’d have to set up a little photo session to capture all of the cuteness. This turned into a time consuming project, but one that we were excited to undertake.

Today I’m sharing some highlights from Joey and Kelly’s Christmas tree farm engagement session before all of our snowy days in Ohio are officially over and spring sets in! 🙂 I met up with these two lovebirds at their family’s gorgeous tree farm in New Castle, Pennsylvania the morning of a fresh snowfall. The whole setting was so magical and snow even fell the entire time we took photos! I don’t think we could have asked for a better day.
