Where to Shop Small in Youngstown, Ohio for Small Business Saturday

I am all for shopping small any day of the year and supporting our local businesses. In my own small business, I shop small for as much as I can. I've started doing this for Christmas shopping, too, especially when I want to give something really unique to my friends and family!

Since tomorrow is Shop Small Saturday, I wanted to share some of my favorite small businesses with you guys so you can shake up that Christmas list with something extra special...

John's Senior Photos at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio

It may be chilly out now with the holidays around the corner, but I'm currently reminiscing over warm, summer sessions :] A portrait session I was excited this summer is this senior session with one of my past bride's brothers. Any time I get to see one of my past brides and their sweet mamas, I get so happy. But getting to know John a little bit better was definitely fun, too! Him, his sister and I spent the evening exploring the campus of Youngstown State University, my old stomping ground....

DIY DOG Halloween Costume Photoshoot in Youngstown, Ohio

It's no shocker that I like to take photos of my dogs... ALL THE TIME. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you see their faces quite frequently in my feed and Insta story. Every year it's becoming a tradition to dress them up for Halloween and Christmas. It might be because I love the holidays, or because busy season is slowing down and I need to find a way to spend my time, but it's always a big deal in the Kopachy house...
