Breathe

I’ve enjoyed a mellow spring, trying my best to squeeze as much enjoyment out of any free time I may have. A couple days ago, it normally would have seemed like the day was coming to a close, but there was still about half an hour before the sun dropped beneath the horizon. That was...

Wonderland

During last night’s senior session we were having a conversation about winter portraits. T. had mentioned that a couple of her friends were specifically wanting to be photographed in the snow which got me excited since outdoor portraits during the winter season are some of my favorites, regardless of how chilly they can be.

Candlelight Walking Tour of Granville: Dec. 1st

Ryan and I have already blocked out time in our schedule for the evening of Saturday, December 1st. The village is beginning to look a lot like Christmas…everywhere you go!

Rural Society

This weekend is the Rural Society Antique & Garden Show in Mount Vernon, Ohio. I’ve been tempted to attend several times, but it was the invitation from a friend that really encouraged me to make the trip. It just happened to pan out that a couple flying in from Chicago for engagement portraits today had...

Personal Ponderings

Do you ever have days when you feel especially wild and free? It all started with me picking up around the property for an appointment this morning. I gathered some chestnuts from the yard, cleaned and roasted them for our guest (I’d never eaten chestnuts like this before and prayed they’d turn out okay…do they...
