These are some of my favorite people right here.
I’ve known Nadia for a longtime (because Ridgebacks!), so shooting her and Josh’s engagement and 2014 wedding is a huge treat.
It’s like there’s a cardinal rule that if the first session gets rained out, the rain check will be twice as beautiful as you could have hoped for in the first place.
Mindy and Cameron are crazy talented photographers themselves, and I’m guessing that had something to do with the fact that they were able to appreciate the magical secret garden quality of the abandoned greenhouse enough to brave the ticks and the broken glass and the poison ivy.
A totally perfect spring evening with Lindsay and Andy.
A few snowy portraits from Lacey and Jon’s intimate wedding in the hills of Southeastern Ohio.
Portraits of Claudia and Pierce, the evening and day after he proposed beachside in St. Thomas.
I’ve been talking with Brandy and Micah since before they were officially engaged, and getting to spend time with them over the last several months has been such a cool part of the process. I love these portraits of them, images distilled down to the very essence of what draws them together in the first place.
Months before we did these photos, when this session was just a date on the calendar, Brooke and Ben said the thing they really wanted was snow. We thought we would have to drive up into the high elevations to find snow on command like that, but instead, on the day we had written in our calendars there was a blizzard. It snowed and snowed and snowed, and it transformed Wash Park into a winter wonderland.
On our first day in New York, Mike proposed to Tara. On the second, the three of us traipsed around the city–shooting, freezing, eating, riding in taxi cabs, talking weddings. It was a good trip for me, so I can only imagine the high they’re probably still on.
Portraits of Petra, Bryan and their lovely little dog, Galena on a snowy Ohio day in February.
Portraits of Laura and Ryan in the Southern Colorado city of Pueblo.
Portraits of Amanda and Eric in small town Ohio, and in the Ohio countryside.
This is my best friend wearing her wedding dress.
Stefanie, Dane, and their Viszla, Bella, cut down a Christmas tree last week in the outskirts of Columbus.
Cara, Ian, and their pup Maple in the Ohio forest.
Paper cranes, sunset, and a white dog that looks like a fox.
David Wax Museum is worth a look and a listen.
Portraits of Tara and Tim at their house, and with their dog, and in their canoe at the lake down the road.
A couple easy favorites from Rachel + Bret’s Boulder engagement session.
Kelly and Ryan have fun cornered, and you can’t take a bad picture of either one of ‘em.
A few frames of sisters Freya and Isla in a field of purple wildflowers last month.
Portraits of Lori, Andy and their Boxers, George and Cochise.
Sunrise portraits of Cindy and Trey in downtown Denver.
I spent the evening with Jaci, Matt + and their dogs on a warm summer evening in rural Ohio. Better even than an engagement session, these photographs were taken on Jaci + Matt’s 14-year anniversary, almost to the day.
Catherine and Michael have been wonderfully loyal clients who happen also to dish out great travel advice. They were the impetus behind the Crazy Bitches’ stop in Tofino (go if ever you get the chance), and are currently on a two-week road trip with their dogs in a pop-up camper which is about as awesome as it gets in my book.
I always loved taking yoga classes with Josie, not just because I like the way she teaches, but also because she radiates coolness. She just opened a new studio in Columbus; if you’re in the area be sure to check out Thank Yoga.
Portraits of soon-to-be-wed Apryl + Nate [plus pup Bella] in Columbus.
If you don’t already know them, give The David Wax Museum a listen. One better: if they’re coming to your town, go see them.
Zachary + Graysen (with parents in tow) at Inniswood.
Idit + Steven in black and white.
Images of the Gosselin family, full of light and full of energy.
Engagement portraits of Mariana + Luke, with a cameo by their dog, Albert.
Images from an engagement session with Sarah + Nathan in the little town of Sedalia, Colorado. I dare say the wind and the clouds only made it better.
Images from an engagement session with Jen + Zach and dogs Lily + Mosley under an (almost) cloudless Colorado sky.
Images from an afternoon with Sherman, King Charles Spaniel, confidant and comrade to the lovely Adrianne.
Images of the wonderfully talented Langhorne Slim and his band, the Law, during a tour stop-over in Columbus last month.
Shot for Beth, submitted to this contest.
Images from an early morning Saturday shoot with the lovely Amy and make-up artist Ali.
Images from an engagement session with the wonderfully inspirational Christie + Brandon. Colorado gave us some mad wind gusts, big blue skies, and a moon to boot.
Images from a chilly Sunday afternoon engagement shoot with Deborah & Ben. You can’t spend five minutes with them and not realize how crazy they are about each other, and that energy is completely infectious.
Images from a collaboration for Mukha and Peace Love Bling, both local businesses about which I cannot say enough.
The Girls’ Club; images from a collaboration with the wonderful Beth Seitz of Cut Color Style. {Beth was the magician behind the hair in this shoot, too}.
Images from our holiday adventures and misadventures. Photographed in the hills of Ohio and the nether regions of Colorado and New Mexico, by both Mr. + Mrs. Roeth.
