Multi-talented Senior Guy Session ~ Cincinnati Senior Session

Every once in a while, a senior session comes along that stands out not just because of the amazing photos, but because of the incredible energy and personality the senior brings. That’s exactly what happened during this flashback session from last spring with one of the most enthusiastic senior guys I’ve ever worked with.

We kicked things off at the school’s robotics lab. I was amazed at his love for robotics and the description of hours spent in this space working late with his school team. We then moved locations to the beautiful Sharon Woods just in time for that beautiful evening light. This senior showcased his other interests at the end of the session with his passions for music and football. This guy is super multi-talented and I know he will do so many great things in this world.

What made this session so special was his willingness to bring props that truly represented who he is. From the robotics work-space to football equipment to his guitar, every item told a piece of his story. It made the session feel personal, authentic, and, most of all, fun.

If you’re a senior (or a parent of one) looking for a session that highlights what makes you unique, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help you tell your story in a way that’s as special as you are!

Laurelbox

Reminiscing on this cold January day about one of my favorite sessions from last year. I had the privilege of photographing the incredible women behind Laurelbox, a women-owned business that creates thoughtfully curated gift boxes packed by hand to nourish the heart after loss. This wasn’t just any photo session—it was an opportunity to witness the heart and soul of a company that is making a meaningful impact in so many lives.

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the vibrant energy of the Laurelbox team. Their workspace was filled with warmth, laughter, and a sense of purpose that can only come from people who truly believe in the work they’re doing. The women behind Laurelbox are more than just colleagues—they are a tight-knit group of friends who support one another in every sense of the word.

Laurelbox is no ordinary business. It was founded by two cousins with a mission to create thoughtful, meaningful gifts that provide comfort and love during some of life’s most challenging moments.

What makes Laurelbox even more special is the personal touch each gift carries. It’s a beautiful example of how small businesses can create products that not only serve a purpose but also carry a story.

It was an honor to meet the team behind Laurelbox and to capture the essence of their work. Their passion, creativity, and genuine care for others are truly inspiring. If you’re looking for a gift that speaks from the heart, I can’t recommend Laurelbox enough.

Loveland River Family Session

As the golden days of summer begin to fade into the crispness of fall, there's a unique magic in the air. Loveland is known for its charming riverfront and scenic trails, but there's something especially enchanting about the Little Miami River as summer wanes. The trees, still lush with greenery, start to hint at the colors of fall, and the gentle flow of the river reflects the soft, amber light of the late afternoon sun.
This is one of my favorite families to photograph and I love that they were excited to take their shoes off and venture into the river. I encouraged them to simply enjoy each other's company—no posing, just being. These unscripted moments are always my favorite because they reveal the true essence of the family’s dynamic. These images were a poignant reminder of how fleeting and beautiful these late summer days are, and how important it is to savor them. This session was a reminder of why I love what I do.

Downtown Cincinnati Senior Photo Session

We managed to dodge the rain on this beautiful Cincinnati late summer evening. This senior rocked her session and made some great outfit choices for her session that reflected her personality. I have been photographing her family for many years so capturing senior portraits was really special.

The V Family ~ Spring Family Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photographer

Spring was in the air for this beautiful family session at the Cincinnati Nature Center. We lucked out with a warm evening with that beautiful spring light and gorgeous blooming flowers. This sweet grandmother loves to capture the special relationship she has with her beautiful children and granddaughters. It is always one of my favorite families to capture each year.

The H Family ~ Fall Family Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photographer

This is probably the ultimate fall session. We have fall color in the background and the family did a great job of picking those incredible warm colors for clothing. This was just a perfect, crisp fall evening with that wonderful warm autumn golden light!

The H Family ~ Fall Family Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photographer

We had a beautiful crisp, late fall night for this session. The days in Cincinnati just seem to stay warmer later in the year versus when I was a little girl here. Believe, me I am not complaining. This gives me a chance to take family photos now into November. This is a perfect example of how you can use red in a portrait session without letting it overpower the image. Love this sweet Mama and her wonderful husband and 3 sweet boys.

The F Family ~ Fall Family Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photographer

What can I say about sessions with these super fun, energetic kiddos. I look forward to photographing them each fall as they grow and change especially as their family just welcomed a baby girl. They are full of personality and keep me on my toes at each session with their sweet energetic spirits. We had the most beautiful evening for this early fall session with that warm golden sunlight.

The S Family ~ Fall Photo Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photography

This was yet another very warm fall evening and we had the opportunity to get that magical golden hour light. This fun family has had a long year so it was wonderful for them to take time to enjoy each other and I was priveledged to be able to capture it for them. Ault Park is always beautiful at any time of the day, but especially on a quiet Monday night at sunset.

The H Family ~ Fall Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photography

This was an extremely warm evening here in Cincinnati for this session. It is always fun to capture a family at their own home especially when they are on the backdrop of a forest. This session took place right before sunset so we got that very beautiful, golden hour light.

The S Family ~ Fall Family Session ~ Cincinnati Family Photography

The Little Miami is one of my favorite spots for a family session. My family had a session there several years ago and it is still one of my favorites. There is just something magical about the rocks and flowing water. This sweet family and their super happy kiddos made this evening really special.
