The other weekend I took a trip out to the Chagrin River Park in Willoughby, to get some photos of Lydia and her kids Tyler, Anna, and Gabe. Let me just say that after spending the afternoon with them, it made me want to give my sibling a call because the kids made me reminescent of all the childhood antics my brother and I used to pull on each other growing up. 
To be young again and have the hours disappear in all the fun games we came up with!
Tyler showing his first place victory with the race across a very cool bridge at the park.
Anna tries to cheer up her brother Gabe when he didn't quite run a 1st place race.
Both mother and daughter look breath-taking in shades of red.
Surprisingly, this loving interaction between siblings was NOT followed with a tackle or tickle!

Nothing says childhood fun like getting dizzy on the Merry-Go-Round!
Or "flying" on a swing!
Thanks Staten family for letting me hang out with you guys for the morning! I had a blast!

Honestly, I don’t know how I get so lucky to meet and work with kiddos that are so stinkin’ cute! Take little miss Jessica whom I had the opportunity to play with the other week. This sweet girl has big, blue eyes that are completely envious! Check them out in some of the photos I took while she showed me all her fun new toys and cute outfits that she received from her first birthday.
Mom works at the gym, so of course, we had to sport the Addidas track suit!
See! Those baby blues are to-die-for!
Can we PLEASE go outside and play?
Pumpkin time!
Yeah, the cute hat didn't last very long...
Jess definitely gets some of her good looks from momma!
Nothing gets a squirmy kid to pose like a camera lense in the mouth!
Jess, are you sharing your super star sunglasses with muah?!
If you give me a "stink face", you better believe I'll catch it! Love it!
Happy first birthday, Jessica! I had a blast spending the day with you!

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!
