Farewell ONN

This has been an especially rough day. I said farewell to the friends and the station where I spent countless weekend overnights working as a freelance video editor not long after college. I once drove through a blizzard to get to work and have always told Ryan that if I...

Growing Up

I first photographed Miss M a year ago when she was a few months old. Now, at just over a year old, it seems like she’s nearly the same size, but has simply sprouted up towards the sky. It’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed. Even since I last saw her in the...

The title of this post came about accidentally as I began to type my html coding into the wrong text field. But I saw it there and thought, “Wow…that’s the perfect description for what I want to write about!” Today I’m feeling centered. My morning started with a blog post from the incredible Michelle Black....

Compared to the last creative shootout held here at Atelier, we’ll have longer shooting time (probably about 2 hours) and guests will be welcome to come by earlier for light food and snacks as I style...

It’s a bit surreal to watch a family grow and change during such important life-events, and...

They chatted up a storm, asking about bull horns, horse beds and “mole-hogs”. In no time, it was each of their personalities that captured...

A Taste of Autumn

Breathe. It’s been a hot, dry summer here in Ohio. My heart is singing today as I’m finally able to open up the house and let the sounds and smells of nature inside. Between all of this rain we’ve been getting and temperatures finally down in the 70′s, it feels a little like autumn here...

Series

This young photographer helped me out last night by patiently modeling while I familiarized myself with some new gear. She told me about her own passion for photography and, after our shoot, I stopped by her website. I was caught off guard by the depth of some of her work (I especially love the last...
