This is one of my favorite spots to photograph senior pictures! It is well worth the drive across the river to take portraits in this area of Covington, KY. Owen was amazing and we were finished with this session in only 30 minutes with plenty of poses from which to choose the keepers. 

It was my pleasure to take family pictures of this sweet momma and her awesome children. We stumbled upon this location, and it turned out to be a really amazing spot for pictures!

Another Lakota senior's pictures are in the books! This family chose a great spot near the Ohio river with a glorious backdrop of Cincinnati for their senior photography session. Camden opted for a 30-minute session and we had plenty of time for many poses and backdrops for his senior session. Here are a few of the highlights.

Being a photographer in Cincinnati is amazing. I love the backdrop of our bridges, stadiums, and beautiful parks along the river. Smale Park is one of my favorite places to photograph families. It was a HOT summer morning (we were all sweating and it was only 9 am!) but everyone did an amazing job. 

2020. What a year. I can't tell you how good it feels to be back behind the camera. This session was so much fun and being in downtown Cincinnati at Smale Park for photography sessions is always a treat. It was good for my soul to be back doing what I love to do. 

Do your local small businesses a favor as they reopen. Like their social media pages. Comment and encourage them. Buy gift cards from them to help them get back up and running.  

And it is always fun being photobombed by Cincinnati's finest...

Our state just enacted a stay at home order. Since the closing of schools on March 12, many of us have already been at home with our children and working mostly from home. I decided to offer my neighbors a portrait session so that we can remember these "unprecedented" times. (I have heard that word so many times these past few weeks and it kind of drives me nuts... but here we are.)

Being able to provide these sessions was truly a blessing to me. I met more neighbors while "sheltering in place" (another phrase I could live without hearing again...) than I have in four years of living in this neighborhood. We are all going through this experience in close proximity and we each have our own struggles but I have already seen neighbors talking more across lawns, waving more to those who walk by, and just acknowledging each other and the shared experience we are living through. 
 
​Here are some of the photos that I took (from a distance of course...)

This session is of a family near and dear to my heart having one last hoorah with their 14-year-old Lily girl. Lily was a sweet dog, and was loved by all who knew her. 

Fall is finally here! The leaves are at their peak, and this family had a gorgeous night at the park for family pictures. 

Twins!! I love photographing toddlers, but twin boys was a real treat! These guys were so full of personality and it was a joy to take their pictures. We started this photography session indoors and then moved outside for some family pictures. These guys are the cutest!

I do love me some fall outdoor backyard family photography sessions! These are the best. It is low stress for families, doggies are happily involved, and it is convenient for everyone! These lovely ladies and their parents were so much fun to photograph. Here are a few highlights from the evening.
