Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens Engagement Session, Akron Ohio

Malinda, Jay and I got together a few weeks ago to shoot their engagement session at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens.  We dodged the rain… and a few other obstacles and the results were fantastic!

Thanks for asking me to document this special time in your lives; congratulations you two!

It takes two….

Lacey and Adam had not only a very personal wedding, but it was romantic and fun and a true joy for me to be a part of it!

Lacey and her ladies started the day at Charles Scott Salon and Spa in Rocky River and they made sure everyone looked great!

Lacey designed everything herself and clearly has a knack for it!

This beautiful cake came from Wild Flour Bakery

The flowers were from Blooms by Plantscaping – they were gorgeous!

The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony at The Cleveland Yacht Club in Rocky River.

This hand painted “Just Married” parasol came from this great Etsy shop!

I LOVED their first dance – you could tell they put a lot of time into it!

Audio Extremes Entertainment kept the party going well into the night…

Don’t ask me why, but at one point in the evening this song came on and it just seemed to fit Lacey and Adam so well….. thanks again for letting me be there for such a special day – it was truly an honor!

Wes

Wes just turned 2 and his parents wanted some new photos to mark the occasion. Here are a few of my favorites from an evening at the playground with Wes. It won’t take long for you to see what a cutie he is!

Lucy

I am incredibly behind on my blogging so I wanted to post a few photos from Lucy’s 8 month photo shoot. She is just as sweet as she looks – enjoy!

27 in 27

Today, I am 27. It’s been a great day and I am so blessed to have wonderful friends and family to spend the day with. Last night, at a little after midnight I got an idea. I made a list of 27 things I want to do while I’m 27. Some of them are small things (finish  a whole Sunday crossword, learn to make great lentil soup), and some of them are a little bigger (run a 5k,  put a new stamp in my passport) but writing about it here seemed like a good way to make myself  accountable. I’m not sure if I’ll blog about all 27, but I’ll write about them from time to time.  Here’s to a great year!

p.s. This came from Caroline’s cupcakes….. yum!
