MATT & STACEY | 11.05.11 | CINCINNATI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I had the opportunity to work with Andrea Chapelo from Chapelo Photography! I met Andrea at an After Dark Education convention/workshop in Cincinnati. We talked and I told her that I was in the area and would love to help out and second shoot weddings. This is the first time working Andrea and hopefully not the last. We had a beautiful day with a beautiful couple! Congratulations to Matt & Stacey!

J.R. FICKERT | 2012 SENIOR | GREENVILLE SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

It's amazing how fast time flies! I first met J.R. when he was in elementary school and my mother was his baby sitter. Now that he is a senior he contacted me about doing his senior pictures. We had a lot of fun playing in the cold forest to get some awesome pictures with his gun and bow. I was able to capture a lot of natural poses and looks in the session to really capture his personality. I also look forward to taking his sisters senior pics in a few years!

EMMALEE MANES | SENIOR 2012 | DAYTON SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

I met Emmalee and her sister about 4 or 5 years ago! It was awesome that they found me on Facebook and had me do her senior pics. We had a lot of fun doing Emmalee's senior pictures though we picked a bad day to be in Yellow Springs. There was a street fair going on and it was very crowded so we headed over to John Bryan State Park and Antioch College nearby and was able to capture some awesome images! Ashley from Ashley Fionna Photography  helped assist for the day and she captured me shooting, so I put together a little behind the scenes images together too!

BROOKE & JESSE'S WEDDING | 09.10.11 | RICHMOND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Brooke & Jesse's wedding was a lot of fun! It was a referred wedding from a friend whom I attended college with, so it was nice seeing some old faces there! Though we didn't have a lot of time for pictures after the ceremony we managed to work through that and capture some great images! I must say that the "little ones" had a lot of energy and it was fun following them around and photographing them!

WESTWARD ADVENTURES | AUGUST 1st-14th 2011

As a gift, my grandparents took me out west to take pictures! Well I must say that it was amazing and crazy beautiful! Several places we traveled to were; Badlands, Devils Tower, Grand Tetons, Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, Salt Lake City, Wind Cave, Yellowstone, and many places in-between! My pictures don't do justice of what I really saw. I do hope that you enjoy the images here! Thank you grandma and grandpa, I love you both! :)

HEATHER & BRANDON'S WEDDING | 07.16.11 | DAYTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I had a great opportunity to second shoot for Lindsey Junod from linzi beckie photography! I have watched and admired her work over the past few years as I attended school with her and was finally able to work with her! She is an amazing photographer and it was a privilege to work with her. The wedding was beautiful and Heather and Brandon were a lot of fun and creative!
