Audrey Hepburn, film and fashion icon, once declared “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”. Cat and Josh, who recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary, keep this axiom close to their hearts. When I first met them as a couple many years ago, I was inspired by how much they truly […]

The palate of winter colors in rural Ohio in late December were soft, muted, and gorgeous. The feathered blankets of white and gray clouds slowly misted upon the rolling hills of chestnut colored trees among the sepia and pistachio accent tones of the grasses. Needless to say, the drive Bustle Farms close to Cedarville off Route 42 […]

Everyone can layer in attractive sweaters or beautiful scarves.  Plus, it gives the parents time to order prints for Christmas gifts or use them as Christmas Cards. So when Robyn […]

Autumn in the Midwest is such a special time of year. The vibrancy of the foliage and the crispness of the air seem to draw us out into nature in droves. It was no exception a few weekends ago when I met up with The Steele Family at Cox Arboretum. Families walking with their children, […]

The wedding ceremony was to be moved inside after concern of the unpredictable fall forecast […]
