Announcing Family Portraits for Fall 2012 ~ Canton, Ohio Photographer

As wedding season approaches I wanted to post a reminder that I will not be photographing any family portraits until this coming September, October & November.

I will only be photographing weddings, engagements, seniors and any previously scheduled family sessions.  The reason for this is I need to focus my attention solely on my wedding and senior clients.

I'm not a 'studio' photographer and I really have no desire to be one.  All of my sessions are unique and custom tailored to each client.  For this, I pay particular attention to details and needs of my clients and design a session that will embody them as well as provide a special kind of customer service that you would never receive at a 'boxed' studio.

An experience like no other.and while I love all of you, and would love to take every appointment, I really cannot.  My schedule is set to only accept a select number of sessions each week/month.  This is so I maintain the high level of customer service for all of my clients.  The precise reason why you would choose to go to a custom boutique photographer rather than a studio photographer.

I am scheduling right now so if you plan on having fall family portraits taken, please contact me today to reserve your spot.

As always, I thank you all for so much love and support you've given me.  I really could never do what I love without any of you and it never goes unnoticed.

Crystal & Bill | Ohio Wedding Photographer

Last week I met with Crystal and Bill for their engagement session.  They are getting married in a few short weeks in Cuyahoga Falls.  I had such a good time with them and what makes it even better is Crystal is my cousin too!  =)

I seriously cannot wait until their wedding day...it's going to rock!!

Heather & David | Ohio Wedding Photographer

A few days ago I met up with Heather & David for their engagement session at The Legends golf course in Massillon.  I had such a good time with them and their personality really shined during their session.

Heather & David are getting married in a few months and I'm so thrilled to be a part of their day.

Senior Portraits | Canton, Ohio Senior Photographer

It's time for senior portraits!  Don't forget to get your appointment set.

I'm also looking for a few more senior reps from area schools.  Contact me if you are interested.

Just for fun | Canton, Ohio Senior Photographer

A few weeks ago I took out the girls for a fun photoshoot.  It was really quite chilly so we didn't stay out very long but I love some of these images we were able to get.

Check them out and see what you think

Megan & Aron | Ohio Wedding Photographer

I was able to meet up with Megan & Aron for a second engagement session recently to get some more springy photos.  I love the colors in the Ohio during spring.  There's a lot of pinks and whites from the trees blooming.

Their wedding is in a few short weeks and I'm so excited to be a part of their day!

Here's some of the photos we were able to get...

Megan & Kyle ~ Engaged| Ohio Wedding Photographer

Seriously how cute are these two? 


When it came time to photograph Megan and Kyle I wanted to portray a young and in love feeling.  That is exactly what these two are.  They love nature and being outdoors so we decided to meet at Quail Hollow State Park in Hartville, Ohio.


This was really a perfect place because we were able to go into the woods a bit and then get some greenery too.




I cannot wait for their wedding this June.  They are getting married at The Hoover Hall in North Canton.

Baby girl Taylor | Canton, Ohio Photographer

Well we all know that I don't get to photograph too many babies, but when I do it's a treat.  Meet Taylor!

I just can't get enough of this cutie pie!

Melissa & Matt ~ Engaged | Ohio Wedding Photographer

I was so excited when Matt & Melissa got engaged.  I had photographed her daughter in the past and I'm so thrilled they chose me to photograph their special day.  

They really wanted to have a snow engagement session and it was looking pretty slim until we finally got a good snow fall.  We immediately jumped on this.  Matt & Melissa are a young fun couple so that was a goal of mine when photographing them. We decided to go to Quail Hollow State Park in Hartville, Ohio.

Matt & Melissa are getting married next February at TheFieldcrest Lodge in Canton, Ohio.  A gorgeous venue!!  

Jordyn ~ Winter Portraits | Canton, Ohio Portrait Photographer

Well we finally got some snow in this crazy winter that Ohio has had this year.  Jordyn has been bugging me literally all winter to have a snow shoot so you can imagine how excited she was when it finally came.  We didn't have much time, but wow did she rock her shoot.  Here's a few of the images we got...

Nicole & John ~ Married | Ohio Wedding Photographer

Nicole and John had such a beautiful wedding.  Even though it sprinkled here and there and was chilly they were really good sports and endured it all.  


The ceremony started at Western Reserve Village Church inside the Canfield Fairgrounds.  I have never been there and was so excited to see how much was there.  There is literally like a little town built inside the fairgrounds.  It was really cool.  They really picked the perfect place for their big day!!


After the ceremony and photos of course we headed to Youngstown to the ByzantineCenter at the Grove.
