The Clarks // Dayton Family Photography
These guys are some of our favorite friends that we never see. It's a shame that we don't get the chance to hang out more often, but we were thrilled when Ryan asked us to do their family pictures for Asher's first birthday. He's the second cutest little boy in the world (after Holden of course, IMO), and you can tell that Ryan + Sarah just love him to pieces. It was awesome to be able to shoot these exactly one year after he was born! And for those of you who don't know, Ryan is possibly the best designer in Ohio. We went to college together, and I've had a huge amount of respect for him as a person and as a professional for years now. You can check out his work on his website, Ryan vs. Clark.
Sarah + Michael // Dayton Engagement Photography
We can't wait for Sarah + Michael's wedding this November. We met up with them in our old stomping grounds of Cedarville, Ohio. After a quick stop at Stoney Creek Roasters, we found one of the most incredible fields of flowers we've seen. Who knew it was in spitting distance of Mindy's old dorm? Dinner with these two at the (in)famous Colonial Pizza was awesome too. You guys rock.
Emily + Steve // Cincinnati Wedding Photography // Savannah Center
Emily + Steve are a really unique couple. Unique not because they know how to have a good time (they definitely do), but unique because despite that fact, Mindy and I both just really respect them. They're polite, laid back, mature but still goofy, and just all around really wonderful people to be around.

This is Kathyna, the awesome coordinator at the Savannah Center. She was a HUGE help all day long, and I definitely couldn't recommend her enough. If you're looking for a ceremony and reception location in northern Cincinnati, the Savannah Center is the way to go... and MAKE SURE you ask for Kathyna!
Family Vacation // Outer Banks, North Carolina (Part II)
A few weeks ago we traveled to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It was our first family vacation with Holden, and we rented a huge beach house with each of our families. Lots of good times with Holden's aunts, uncles, and grandparents. This was our house.
Mindy's family and my family.
My parents and Mindy's parents.
It's official. We have the cutest kid ever made, I'm sure of it.
Sand, anyone?
Mindy decided to strip him down. Apparently babies are allowed to be nude on non-nude public beaches. Either that, or we just artfully alluded the authorities. Yeah, let's go with that one.
Holden was digging it, but he didn't really enjoy getting rinsed off.
We can't wait to go back!
Hannah + Seth // Maternity
There's something beautiful and amazing about a growing little life inside of you. I really enjoyed my pregnancy and sometimes even miss it (not planning on having any more for a while though!). I think that's what gets me excited about maternity shoots. I had the pleasure of capturing Hannah in her pregnancy beauty (isn't she cute?!) along with her husband Seth. Hannah is the sister of one of our recent brides, Becky. We spent the evening on Hannah's parents farm in New Carlisle, OH. It's such a beautiful place to shoot and turning into a favorite of ours. We shot Becky & Jesse's engagement photos on the farm as well. The farm has such charm and rusticness, not to mention 2 of the coolest old trucks! Congrats Hannah & Seth!! I cannot wait for Naomi's arrival! She is one lucky gal with one amazing family!
