Taylor and James' Summer Engagement Session in German Village and Schiller Park in Columbus, Ohio

One of the best parts of my job is getting to explore new places. When Taylor and James asked if I would be willing to travel to Columbus (where they live) to shoot their engagement session, my fingers couldn't type my response fast enough! German Village in Columbus, Ohio is one of those gorgeous, swoon-worthy places that I've been dying to photograph at. It has a romantic quality to it and is certainly fitting for an engagement session! We also explored Schiller park. One thing they didn't warn me about is how many dogs would be running around the park. It was like I entered the mecca for good and friendly dogs. If you know me, you know how much I love dogs. I took every ounce of my being to not pet every single one but needless to say, I was in heaven! Fortunately for me, I didn't seem like a crazy person because Taylor and James both love dogs, too :]…

Styled Shoot with The Garment Theory in Downtown Youngstown, Ohio

When it comes to style, Hillary and Andrea of The Garment Theory have it in spades. If you're in Youngstown, Ohio then I'm sure you have heard of them, unless you have been living under a rock :P In that case, Hillary and Andrea are local fashion bloggers and large advocates of supporting local businesses. If you scroll through their blog or their Instagram feed, you'll see that they throw together killer outfits from stores in the area. They're also stellar at finding the best deals on clothes, shoes, jewelry and all those great items that make up the perfect outfit. I'm always so impressed on the different looks they come up with and attention to details they have, not to mention how affordable their looks are. I just want them to be my personal shoppers ;] With all of that talent, I have to add that they are sweet and kind as can be!...
