For Bill and Phyllis, it seems like yesterday that their three kids were huddled in this wagon. A few years and 9 grandchildren later, the blessings in their life have multiplied. Their beautiful family gets together every couple of years to record how big the kids are and how young the adults look. Thanks to all for including me in your tradition!
The evening light at the end of last week was spectacular and Hinckley Lake has much to offer in terms of settings. Payton and Riley were happy to let me capture some awesome images of them and their family at dusk. I love the look of sunlight streaming through the trees and onto the tiny fashionistas.
This one should be titled, “High Five Gone Wild.”
As an aside, Payton and Riley are my son’s buddies. When I was putting the images together for this post, he wanted to know why he was not in their photos…while he does have good taste in women, it will be some time before he can sneak into their family photos.
In honor of Jane’s 60th Birthday, her family designed a four day extravaganza of fun events to celebrate Jane. I felt honored to be “Day One’s” special event. Watching Jane’s family goof off and enjoy eachother’s company was quite a treat. Jane is lucky to be surrounded by so much genuine affection. Happy Birthday to you!
Lucy and Rosie are living in NYC and came back to Akron to visit their families and friends. It was a big trip for Lucy, who will be three months old soon. Rosie is a seasoned traveler and taught her little sister all about flying.
I have to say that I am in love with this first image for so many reasons. Lucy is a very happy baby but the little frown has to be one of the most precious “non-smile” expressions I have captured. As our children grow, we tend to forget how the tiny curled lips turn into passionate cries. This is a keeper.
I photographed Noah’s big sister, Ellie, when she was just about 6 months old. Seeing as how the family has expanded, it was a treat to see the new family all together (and I got to see Leo’s giant pink tongue again. That dog makes me laugh!) Noah really wanted to nap but resisted the urge for us. Such a good boy! Congratulations on the new addition!
Shannon, Matthew and Aleah are counting down the days until the newest member of their family makes his appearance. Aleah loves to talk about her baby brother and all of the fun things that they are going to play together. Any day now…

Molly & Andy will look back on their beautiful wedding day and remember the wonderful family and friends that made their day so special…not the HOT temperatures and gale force winds (hopefully.) I have to say that their ceremony was unique in that I have never heard a reference to “Corn Hole” in a homily before. (The pastor is doing corn hole charades in the photo below.) All in all, it was a very heartfelt and genuinely fun day for two people who are obviously deeply in love. Congrats to Molly & Andy!
After many (many) rescheduled shoots due to Mother Nature’s antics, I finally had the opportunity to meet Reichel and Owen and their wonderful parents. We caught bugs, we talked Transformers and we ended the shoot with yummy Popsicles. What more could we ask for!

Ryan and Luanne flew in from Jacksonville (where we met them) to be married in Cleveland Heights at his sister’s home…it’s funny what a small world it can be. Their day could not have been more perfect. The weather was fabulous and they were surrounded by family and friends for their heartfelt ceremony. I am sure that they are enjoying themselves in Hawaii right now!
When Kristi and I discussed photographing her son Brayden in Hinckley for his 2nd birthday, I thought it was far away.
Turns out, it’s right in my backyard – who knew? It’s only about 15 minutes away and it was the perfect backdrop for this adorable 2 year old.
He had a great time splashing in the water, flashing beautiful smiles and snuggling with his mom.
