Woodland Inspired Spring Styled Shoot in Canfield, Ohio

This shoot came about towards the end of winter when I was incredibly over the cold and snow. I just wanted greenery, beautiful flowers and all the lovely colors that comes with spring. I was also desperate to create SOMETHING. I didn't know what that something was going to be, until the idea popped into my head that I needed to make a dress. Ya'll. I can't sew very well and constructing an article of clothing just isn't my forte. But I had a vision, so naturally I told my mother and enlisted her help in making this vision something tangible. If you don't know, my mother is kind of a crafty genius. She has been able to make nearly everything I've ever asked her to and I'm so grateful that we get to create artwork together!..

Meat & Sophie's Pastel Spring inspired 5th Birthday Party in Youngstown, Ohio

If you follow me on social media, you may have seen that my sweet, wrinkly puppies turned five on Tuesday. Since Lou and I don't have any kiddos yet, these two have been my photography subjects for all five years of their lives. Meat is pretty cool with getting his picture taken, and he's certainly a big ham (like his father). Sophie, on the other hand, will tolerate my ridiculous photo ideas for a very short period of time, and she'll make sure I know she's not particularly thrilled about it.

Those things don't phase them at all. Sophie even gets a wiggle butt when it's time to put on a sweater or her jammies. 

I know, I probably am coming off like a real crazy person. And that's okay. I don't mind, because I know most people are quite fond of my dogs too - even if they haven't met them. I know it's not just me! I mean, I don't think it's possible to look at their wrinkly faces and NOT fall in love with them. You just can't. They're the cutest. Every year we have some sort of birthday party for them, whether it's just us or a play party with their BFF (my friend's sweet rescue pittie, since her birthday is just five days before Meat and Sophie's)...
