Carter


I found this image and loved it. I've been photographing Carter
now for almost six years. She has such a transparent quality, never
a young lady for pretense or staid posing, just her free spirit, her freckles and of course
her beautiful amber hair.

Movement





This is Susie, she's a dancer, writer and over all serene soul
that has blessed our church with her presence over the past 4 years.
She's about to embark on a new path the leads through dance school.
These images are a send off of sorts as well as an expression of her expressions through
dance and movement. Thank you Susie for your wonderful openness and sharing of your dream.
God Bless every step of your journey.

Sunshine




















It was to be an outdoor wedding, months in the planning with the location being
at the house where Megan grew up. Our hearts sank as a cliff sized storm of thick gray clouds
paced with us as we drove into Youngstown. It was looking to arrive just in time for the ceremony. We said a prayer
and believed for the best and arrived to a blissful & calm Megan with not a word said of the impending thunder storm. We followed her lead and began to capture the moments as she and Peter embraced them.
Peace flowed and the storm, well, took a detour. The beauty and connection of Megan with Peter
brought tears to the eyes of all, including me. I witnessed, first hand, the wonder of the promise that becomes
a lifetime of marriage. God bless you both, we will always be grateful for you in our lives.
