Love is in the air! | Cincinnati Couples Photographer

I love "just because" sessions. Dave called me waaaaaaaaaaaay back before Christmas because he wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a gift certificate for a session with me. Well...trees blossomed, flowers bloomed and the weather warmed up so we found the perfect day to do their long awaited session. We stayed at their home since, as you can see, it's a gorgeous backdrop and location. Their love is so beautiful and evident :) Many happy years together to you two :)

Couple + Dog = Awwww

I can't move on completely to 2009 when I still have images to post from 2008! This couple was SO super cute! Holly was eating at Big Apple Bagel in Montgomery when she saw my card for my fall promotion. She called right away and booked a session. I asked if it was an engagement or an anniversary but she said that it was just because. No better reason than that!!!

Holly and Chad are adorable together and, as you can see, easy on the eyes! They were troopers on the cold day we set out to Ault Park with their dog and Holly's mom (for moral support/dog helping). And now they have pictures for themselves and cards for their friends and family to remember this "just because" time!

Hyde Park Honeys!

I've known Blair for a while. She is my organizer. I never thought I would need an organizer-I am known for being a super organized, planner type person but I had a ton of stuff going on at the same time last year including my wedding and moving into a new home! A friend suggested I call Blair from The List Ladies and the rest is history. She is amazing! She took over unpacking all of my stuff and together we made and followed a plan that I still use today.

She is also a great person so I was very excited when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. We kicked off the wedding planning with an engagement photo session in Hyde Park. We started at Blair and Joe's home. They are so cute and fun-loving. They also love two things as much as they love each other...their dogs and the Bengals so it was important to them that we capture moments that included them. That's what an engagement session is meant to be about-two people being who they are, doing what they love to do. Then we headed to Hyde Park Square and had a blast. I know their wedding, this June, will be fabulous. Look forward to those pics this coming Summer.

Jen & Derek's Engagement Session

One of my favorite couples I've worked with is Jen and Derek. Jen is so sweet. We hit if off right away. Derek was...well...Derek was a hard sell. We met to discuss details and get to know each other better. I was very nervous to do take their pictures after Derek expressed the fact that he wasn't sure about my "photo journalistic style".

Well...we set out to Sawyer Point, where they got engaged, to do their engagement photos. After a little warming up, Derek was ALL about the pictures! Not only were he and Jen fun and photogenic, after a while DEREK was suggesting poses for me to do! They were so much fun to work with. There's more to come when I post their wedding photos, so stay tuned!
