And creating your legacy, one frame at a time
Heirlooms for big milestones, fresh starts, and those "we're overdue for photos” moments.
One day, your kids will be grown, and they'll bring someone home for you to meet.
You'll want to show that person who they were at six, all gap teeth and big opinions. And then, your kids will look back at these, too, old enough now to notice the way you were looking at them. The patience, the worry, the plain adoration on your face.
They couldn't have understood it at six, but they will at thirty.
I've pretty much always been the one with the camera. As a kid, I'd spend hours flipping through our family photo albums, the ones my mom kept so carefully, loving that safe, familiar pull of seeing us all a little younger.
By high school, I was shooting my classmates' senior photos and working at the local camera shop. That early habit of documenting everyone turned into a career, and over the last 20+ years, hundreds of people have trusted me with their photos.
Most people feel a little awkward in front of a camera, but my job is to make the whole thing easy. I'll guide you and help you feel confident and natural (even if being in front of the camera feels anything but natural to you!) so that you get to keep the best version of yourself to look back on.
"When I got engaged, I saw a styled shoot Kimberly shot at the Ohio Statehouse and knew I had to have her for our Statehouse wedding. I'd never worked with a professional photographer before, so I didn't have a set vision. I just knew her work was beautiful, and once I met her and saw how warm and welcoming she was, I knew she'd be perfect.
I told her about a few insecurities, and she remembered every one, always taking the time to capture my best side. Seven years later, we're still working together, and it's like catching up with an old friend who has seen us through so many phases of life. Her photos are on our walls, our phones, and in gifts we've made for family. Our daughter loves looking at pictures of mommy and daddy before they were mommy and daddy. If you're on the fence, don't be."
