Nestled between the rolling hills and dales of West Kettering and the Great Miami River stands a stately tower in a large grassy field composed of white granite stones and 57 bells housed in it’s expansive belfry. Dayton’s own Carillon Bells, built in 1942 from the generous donation of Edith Deeds after discovering the magnificent […]

The drive to 40 Narcissa Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA was absolutely stunning. It was a hot afternoon after a hot week that dried the air as well as the land to a slight crunch beneath your feet. On one side of Palos Verdes Dr was a steep incline to enormous boisterous houses with […]

Around the first of June I met up with two impressive brothers who, at the suggestion of their Aunt Cat, decided to surprise their Mom with new portraits for her birthday. You might see these brothers around Heatherwoode Golf Course in their hometown of Springboro or perhaps at their summer job at Golf Galaxy. But […]

It is widely believed that of all the New York City boroughs, Brooklyn has the most heart. Maybe its the vibrant energy that emanates from a dense melting pot of the best food, music, and art (nestled in an immensely effervescent backdrop). Or perhaps it’s the rich history of the neighborhood illuminated with the magic […]

In the quaint little town of Granville, Ohio stands a stately white house nestled in between an ethereal pine forest and a vast field filled with tall grass and sturdy horses. The expansive back yard was bustling last Saturday as tables were being arranged and the tent gained a taco bar, a cocktail bar, and […]

Yet time marches on, our little kids grow up into […]

Amy came to me with the excitement level of a little kid on Christmas morning. “I have outfits, I have tutu’s, I even have a crown.” she exclaimed enthusiastically. “And I have you covered girl” I responded with complete delight. And so it was settled. Miss Kay was going to get her moment in the spotlight. […]

It was a gorgeous day in late May, and the golden sun was working it’s way down the sky.  The grass at Russ Nature Reserve was thick, green, and hot from being bathed in sunshine all day.  You could almost feel the vibrant pulse of summer in the air (with summer vacation mere weeks away). […]

Last Monday (exactly 4 months until they tie the knot) I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Dani & Adam but it was quite apparent that despite their best efforts, their darling pup Lucy (aka Lou Bega aka Bega) stole the spot light. This was not surprising. I knew she was going to be the […]

It was towards the end of our session, and Liesa had her son Braylon in his full Dayton Ducks gear. I photographed his batting helmet with a grimacing duck, his prized batting gloves that formed an image when he put his hands a certain way, the bright green uniform that hung off of his rapidly […]
