Oscar Bear
This next session is a really special one. <3 After Sam and Emily booked me for their wedding day, they asked if we could do something a little different for their engagement photos. Their sweet pup Oscar was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy (ALS for dogs) not too long ago. Instead of doing engagement photos, they asked if we could instead do a special session with Oscar, as they weren't sure how long he had left. Of course my answer was immediately, "yes,". We met at E

my heart is bursting | newborn lifestyle shoot // hudson, ohio
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is reuniting with friends and family from near and far. It's the one time of year where we are in the same place, even if it's only a few days. This year, we had the wonderful experience of meeting our dear friends Kaye and David and their new baby Roy, who was born earlier this month.
