I had the fortunate opportunity back at the beginning of October to be a second shooter for Ryan Muesel of Just Perfect Memories, at Nate and Val’s wedding. This couple was just such a sweet, laid-back pair that it made me and Ryan’s job all that much more easy. They also has a fun group of groomsmen, bridesmaids, friends and family which made for wonderful afternoon with lots of memorable moments caught on film. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.
The girls getting ready
The bride's garter, jewelry, and super comfy shoes!
Adding the bling!
Seeing each other for the first time prior to the ceremony.
Gorgeous bouquets!
The many expressions of Val...
Expression #2
Expression #3!
This shot amused me. It seemed as if it was staged, yet unstaged, and full of fun expressions!
wedding feet...
A cute shot of the couple heading into the church
Umm, can we say gorgeous?! What a beautiful couple!
The adorable ring bearer and his dad, the best man
The good looks obviously run in the family.
Yes, this little man had a way of attracting the attention of the camera
want to see what preceded these honest grins?
...this did. They were definitely an entertaining bunch!
The ring bearers and flower girl getting instructions before heading down the aisle
The bride headed to meet her groom
The new Mr and Mrs Von Gunten!
what kids don't LOVE bubbles?!
The first dance
Definitely a very happy and lucky man.
This group definitely knew how to have fun on the dance floor!
more dancing fun!
Thanks to Ryan for letting me help you out with photos and thanks to Val and Nate for letting me be a part of their special day.

It’s hard to believe that the summer just flew by and it was time for Miss Gianna’s 6 month portraits. It seems like just yesterday that I was over there taking her 3 month photos. Let me tell you, this little one gets cuter by the day! Check out some of these photos for proof!
Baby blues and naked baby bum!
Look at that smile! (and fun baby fuzz on her head!)
How do I get fortunate enough to work with such cute kids?!
Love this tender moment between mom and g.
I think someone has a few admirers. 
Miss G got outside for some crisp October air.
Not quite sure what she thinks of the hat or oversized (yet super cute) coat.
We soon found out how she felt! Haha.
One last photo of one of the cutest penguins I've seen!
I hope the adorable penguin enjoys her first Halloween. See you in the New Year for 9 months!

Last December I had the opportunity to take photos of my friend Tammy and her beautiful family (check the photos out here!) Well, now their family is expanding and Cameron is going to be a big brother in a couple of months! We took some time the other week to photograph the family of three before they expand into a family of four.
Cam, is your baby brother telling you something funny?
Someone loves his Mommy!
"Hanging" out with the family.
Tammy & Jayson, such a handsome couple.
One last shot of Cameron and Mommy (and pumpkin!)
Can’t wait to meet the new little one when he gets here!

While preparing for a regional figure competition, Michelle asked if I would be willing to do another fitness photo session with her. Of course I was more than happy to obliged! Her hard work preparing for her competition definitely shows in the images below. The girl’s got some killer abs and some awesome lats! She can also show you how to get some fab physique too as she is a wonderful trainer. If you want her contact info, let me know!
Michelle in her element - working out at the gym
Holy Biceps! Look at those guns!
So pretty!
Just Do It! Showing us how it's done on the Lat Pulldown.
Perfect form
Thanks for letting me take photos with you, Michelle! Keep up the hard work and continue being an inspiration to all of us with your dedication to fitness.

The human body is an AMAZING thing. All the things that it can accomplish. Pregnancy being one of them. The whole process just astounds me. Then there is the glow & beauty that a pregnant woman exudes…breath-taking.
I recently got the opportunity to take some maternity photos of B and I was fortunate enough that she was willing to imbibe in my desire for some more artsy takes. I only hope that I can look this good while pregnant someday!
The perfect belly
Gorgeous! This one was inspired by a friend.
I loved the red shaw!
And my favorite from the day!
I’m looking forward to meeting baby B! I wish you both a happy and healthy remaining few months until you get to meet on her birthday!

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday Julie was telling me that she and her husband Kevin had welcomed a new baby boy into this world. Now baby Tristan is 13 months old!
Tristan at 1-month old in his chair
And now, a year later, in the same chair
Getting ready to show me his toys
When taking photos of a child in action you see a lot of back...so I decided to take a photo of his.
Tristan showing Mom and Dad how to properly play with his toys
A natural shot where we were even able to get even Tinder, the family dog, involved
Giving some love to his favorite soft basketball
He definitely LOVED this ball!
I think this was my favorite shot of the day!
What a gorgeous family!
I’m so glad you guys asked me back this year to take more photos of your adorable little boy. I had so many photo favorites, it was hard to just choose a few for my blog. I look forward to putting together your photobook for you so you can show off you sweet little man! Thanks again!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet up with Jackie at Coulby Park in Wickliffe, Ohio. What a cool park and some great photo opportunities (we saw a few other seniors getting photos taken there as well!)
It's funny how the 1st shot of the day always seems to be one of my favorites!
What a gorgeous smile!
Her checkered dress made for some great B&W shots.
She didn't think she could pull of a good serious face. I think she nailed it here.
I loved this pink top on her!
Flowers and fun sunshine!
Jackie's parents found this unique perspective for this shot.
Leaves!
Playful grass shot
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to take on a new challenge with senior portraits. I had a great time with you. I wish you the best with your senior year!

You may remember back in June I had the opportunity to take some fitness photos of my good friend Sara outside in the Cleveland Metroparks. (Check out the shoot here!) We decided to meet up again a few weeks ago to take some more shots that she can add to her fitness portfolio. Sara’s body is rockin’ and this shoot was just another reminder of why I need to get crackin’ with my routine at the gym! 
Smokin' in the Victoria's Secret fFitness line
Looking AB-alicious in scarlet and grey (Go OSU!)
Little black dress? How about little black bikini?
Gorgeous smile! (My dentist father would approve of your teeth, Sara! haha)
I think this says "Oxygen Fitness" magazine cover, what do you think??
One last playful shot showing off her pearly whites and some amazing delts!
Thanks again for another fun fitness shoot, Sara! And for those of you who aspire to look fit like her, be sure to check out her website. She has a link to days and times of her killer ropes bootcamp class. She’ll whip you in shape in no time!

Anyone else jealous of her curves?!
