Dashell Robert Parr, better known as Dash, is our 5 year old mutt pup! Dash gets treated like a little babyand I even sometimes find myself talking to him like an adult. He sits there and stares at me like he has EVERY clue in the world of what I’m talking about. We cuddle, we play, we sing together and love on each other. He is my antidote to a bad day and an added joy to my good day. Here are some pictures of us playing in the snow yesterday!
Gooood mornin’ Dashy!

There is a lot of snoow!!!

Ready to play, Mom!!

Lookin’ good in that new Moochie & Co. coat, Dash!

Running back inside…way to cold!

We decided bone chewing in bed was a much warmer sport!

Strike a pose for Grandma!!

Fall is one of the only seasons that I truly get excited for! My favorite outfits consist of distressed over bleached jeans and snug fitting hoodies. I just don’t see where it can go wrong. I’m not a huge football fan, but if I was to watch a game it would definitely be rooting for my Buckeyes!! Ive dug up my Apple Spice candle, fall decor and even baked a caramel apple pie! A lot of events happen in the fall for Jared and I….Our anniversary, Jared’s birthday (which was yesterday Oct. 9th), My birthday (which is Nov. 9th!) My moms birthday, my parents anniversary, my nieces birthdays….the list can go on and on forever!! But, when Starbucks starts whippin up the Pumpkin spice late….Ive fallen into heaven.
Tonight I get the honor of shooting a new born shoot for Catherine and Jared Rudolph! I did their maternity pictures a few months ago and I cannot WAIT to meet their little bundle of joy! Not only am I excited about the shoot, I’m excited that I get to use my brand new 5DmarkII for the very first time! I have wanted this camera since the day it became available and I now have got my nitty gritty little fingers on it. Our next few weeks are PACKED with family photos, engagements, weddings and a trip to NYC! Whew!
Here is a sneak peek of Marci and Chris’s engagement session a couple days ago at Goodale Park!!

Aren’t those colors just to DIE for!?!? Full post coming up soon!

Its 3:15am, I hear the foot steps of my dad creeping quietly through the house to let our hyper, full bladder dogs out. As I quickly sat up in bed I had just remembered I was having a nightmare. A really scary nightmare. With aliens. I know I’m not the only one, but nightmares seem to be more realistic at night. Duh, I guess. I laid there trying so hard to go back to sleep. Trying to forget about the nasty little creature that tried to eat me. Half an hour rolled by, an hour rolled by. I then heard the howling noises outside the house of my now, emptied bladder pup wanting to come back in. I woke Jared up immediately and asked him to get the dogs. I was WAY to scared to get out of bed. Anyone with me?
Now its 9:35am. Im still in my big fluffy purple robe drinkin my 8 o’clock columbian coffee trying to get motivated to get some work done. I look, and feel like Ive been run over by a bus.
If some of you are wondering “why did you hear your dad?” “You still live at home?”…Jared and I have been staying with my parents til our house is complete. Which should be within the next month.
I have 5 meetings in the next 2 weeks with some killer brides! I cant wait to meet them! Until our new Gallery is finished, we meet at Panera Bread, Starbucks and Cup o Joe!
This Saturday we shoot the wedding of the oh so fabulous Donna and Pete!
And because every post is better with a picture…. this is Jared and I at our photoshoot with Karla Banks!!

As I was kindly welcomed into the home of Beth and Kyle, I houndly put my nose in the air to take a huge sniff of her candle burning. “Is that Winter Candy Apple,” I asked excitedly? Beth smiled ear to ear as she seemed impressed with my smelling capabilities. (Side note to all: Winter Candy Apple is my FAVORITE Bath and Body Works scent, just in case you were wondering about a birthday gift. wink. wink.)
I can tell right away from Beth’s great choices in scents, to Kyles funny, joking personality that we will be good friends.
How could I forget?? The girl that started it all: CIENNA! Cienna is so full of personality. She was a heart melting machine the first time I laid eyes on her. As soon as I spoke one word in my baby impersonating voice, she lit up like a firefly dancing in the night. I knew this job was going to be a piece of delicious cake.



Cienna’s self portrait. She not too bad!



Kyle must have been doing something very interesting to receive this look!




Beth and Kyle, thank you so much for allowing me to get to know the three of you. I cant wait to have those drinks with you!
We shot Stacy and Trents pictures at Schiller park a couple weeks ago. This couple is super fabulous and totally in love. Their Wedding is in September and I couldnt be more excited. Stacy, you will make such a beautiful bride and I cant wait to see your dress.
We had a lot of fun shooting their engagement session. Trent has an inner goofyness inside that just bursts out throught the images. Stacy has a natural ability to be fabulous and can work it like a model!








Kait and Ben were a super classic couple. Their love was real and anyone who came in contact with them knew it. With Ben serving his country they have to work hard at their relationship. Frustrating at times, they always make it through. Kait and Ben were our wedding give away couple. I chose them because when I read Kait email I found it very tough to get through. Jared and I have never been more then a week apart and it would pain me so much to try and live a long distance relationship, planning a wedding and sometimes not being able to talk to Jared for weeks. I dont know how people do it…
Here are a few shots from their wedding, we had an amazing day and fantastic places to shoot!
