Breanna and Kevin's Engagement
A Dazzling Cleveland Summer Night

Engagement Pictures in Downtown Cleveland What an epic night we had with Breanna and Kevin last July! We started in the courtyard at the Aloft Cleveland, Flats East Bank, surrounded by modern and industrial backdrops, and ended with an eruptive champagne pop.

One day, Charlotte called me with a better idea. What if we spent an evening on Cleveland’s Public Square in December, with the background being strictly Christmas lights and displays? I loved it!

Emily's High School Senior Portraits
An Edgewater Sunset

Elyria Catholic High School Senior Portraits I really enjoy photographing high school seniors on location. Studio portraits are classic, but they do not really capture the student’s true personality.

The June sunset just hung there for us to supply compositions that looked as though we were on a destination...

Richelle and Karl's Engagement
Up, Up and Away!

Downtown Cleveland Engagement Photoshoot I absolutely love my couples. Richelle and Karl are so much fun, and the kind of couple that instantly make you feel good and smile when you are around them. After getting to know them so well at Andrea and Joe’s wedding, I knew their engagement session downtown was going to be extraordinary. I could just visualize working with them so clearly. Richelle contacted me before the session, and wanted to...
