2017: Ilg Family

 Meet the Ilg family: Donald, Stephanie, Ally and Eli.

 I love that Stephanie's children and husband can make her smile like this!

2017: Rowbatham Family

I had the pleasure of meeting Nate and Emma at East Coast Martial Arts.  They, like my children, both take lessons together.  Nate loves to draw and read, and has the cutest smile which is missing a few teeth right now.  Emma is so kind spirited and friendly.  What I love most about these two, they can talk to grown ups!  They look you in the eye and hold a conversation.   Kudos to their awesome parents, Dirk and Katie.

 Happy Summer!

2017: HIlton Head Beach Vacation

 Ever wish you had a photographer on vacation with you?  The Taylor Family was excited that I just happen to be with them the week they were vacationing at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

 Brian's mom Jakki was traveling with them.  She's such a kind sweet soul.  We really enjoyed getting to know her better.

I have the pleasure of photographing these lovely gals, Allison and Madison several times. You can find them here.  They both are not only kind and loving, but beautiful.  I can not WAIT until our next vacation!

2017: Shae, JHS Class of 2018

 Shae:  Jackson High School Class of 2018

"How is Shae a senior already", her mom kept saying. 

Shae plays varsity soccer for Jackson.  It's her life. She's also enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program. It keeps her super busy with studies between soccer games, camps, and practices.

Shae and mom didn't quite know what they wanted for pictures after talking with them.  Keep it simple. I had a few ideas and they were both thrilled.

Simply stunning.

Still a kid at heart.  I hope you enjoy every minute of your senior year Shae!

2017: Travis our Black Belt

 This guy on the left is pretty special to our family.  Meet Travis, his mom, and brother.  Travis has taught my son karate for the last four years.  He himself, started at East Coast Martial Arts at a very young age, like our son Charlie. He is patient, kind, stern when need be, and FUN.  

Travis recently graduated from Kent State University, with a Bachelor's Degree in Business.  He is going to chase his dreams, and move to the West Coast where the sun shines all the time.  

Mom wanted a few family pictures to remember this milestone. 

Best of luck to you Travis.  We will miss you and visit when we can!

2016: The Petty Family

 Don't you just love all these fall colors?  This family goes way back with mine.  Cindi & Ted are friends of my parents and have two children, Trisha and Todd.  They each in turn have their own beautiful families.  Todd is my brother's best friend, and was my housemate in college.   Trisha works in the NICU and was one of my son's nurses during his 8 week stay.  7 grandchidren all around the same age.  What could be more fun!

Aren't they all stunning?

2016: Holiday Sessions

Every year around Halloween, I hold small sessions for families to grab some shots to use on their holiday cards or to hang on their walls.  Here are just a few from our 2016 sessions!  Thank you so much for all my loyal clients that keep coming back every year.
