ryan + steve {in love}

Ryan and Steve came in from Chicago for their engagement session a couple weekends back.  Cincinnati weather has been so bizarrely perfect this summer, but this evening we had picked out for the session was a scorcher.  These two had such a cheery disposition that they wiped the sweat from their brow and moved on.  ...

we’ve been busy.

Every late summer I find myself in a big giant MESS.  Just like spring cleaning, I go through the same process every fall, except the cleaning has to do with my thinking, my actions, our schedule for family, play, and work- as well as our home. This summer was BUSY for us.  We had a...

Maya Laurent - I absolutely love the light in all of these shots!

a quiet moment.

So rare and precious are these around here…and to actually capture them is nearly unheard of in a house of 6. As I looked over our loft down to the living room, I saw Gabe resting next to his Baba who was out like a light.  In fact I showed Brett later and he remembered...
