When you photograph architects you get to go on some behinds the scenes adventures! Becca and Alex let us in on the new Dayton Arcade project and it was amazing! These two were the perfect pair to start the year off right with!
Check out some of the highlights from their day below!
It’s hard to overstate the challenge that 2020 was for all of us. It was a year full of uncertainty, instability, and unrest. For a lot of our friends and couples that meant postponing important life moments, or preparing for conditions they had never expected on the biggest days of their lives. For others it meant facing incredible tragedy and hardship.
As photographers it is years like 2020 that we feel the weight of our jobs most clearly. Photos can be so dear, and sometimes their importance is only understood long after they could be replicated or repeated. We’re so grateful that you trusted us with those moments this year. It is hard to overstate what that means to us, and it’s our prayer that these are photos that you carry with you for a lifetime.
We got to hear so many of your stories in 2020! And despite the conditions: It was a year full of bold love, joyful bonds, and beautiful creativity! Check out our favorite shots of the year below!
In Memory of Aidan Clay
In February I had the amazing opportunity to take some photos of a local musician and artist: Aidan Clay. Aidan was one of the nicest, most generous, people I have ever met. We connected over music and songwriting and he gifted me the beautiful 1920’s grand piano we used for the shoot.
In December of 2020 Aidan passed away. It’s hard to overstate the light that the world lost with him. I experienced a great deal of joy over the course of our brief friendship and I know that so many others felt the same. I was blessed with the chance to do a session with him and his fiancé a few weeks prior to his passing.
Sharing in Aidan’s story for those few months highlighted, to me, the importance of being a person of grace and generosity. His was a life well lived and I look forward to the chance to pick up where we left of on the other side.

With most of the normal wedding traditions getting tossed out the window: Jessica and Henrik eloped with a simple focus: Capture Love. Capture Joy. and Be Together. In their own words:
As for the vibe we were going for, we wanted an edgy, moody look! We leaned into breaking traditional hard with my black dress and doc martens. Our lives as military doctors is so structured and well uniform, we wanted anything but that!

No better way to welcome home a new baby then with an in-home newborn session! Bringing home a new baby has an equal level of excitement and fear, but for a big brother seeing his new brother for the first time it is pure joy and excitement. It is a new future full of unknown possibilities and having a best friend by your side.
We like to schedule our newborn sessions before the sweet baby turns 10 days old, so an in-home newborn session is a great option. Newborn photography is so unique because this sweet baby will never look like this again, it is such a brief moment in time that can never be re-capture.
This Family Portrait session at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan was an absolute blast. It’s a dream of mine to photograph someone in a desert. There. I’ve said it. So until that perfect person calls inviting me to join them for a wedding or portrait shoot in the Sahara, I will simply enjoy […]
