golden hour

Rustic & Barefoot || Columbus, Ohio Family Photography

I spent all summer really digging deep to find out what kind of style I want to offer clients for outdoor portrait sessions. I spent countless hours driving to new locations and scouting new spots on Google maps to find those special locations that will allow children and families to be the spotlight during our time together. I want to offer a luxurious photo experience for my friends and clients. I found a new location and it begged to be photographed with a family willing to trust my advice on styling. I love bare feet. I love classic, soft colors. I want you to look back on your photos in ten years and not regret the location or wardrobe choices. 

Hello timeless!

I'm a sucker for a serious expression from a child. Her eyes and round cheeks are to die for.

Obviously nothing beats a genuine smile. :)

Ending the night near the water. Love these last few photos. Tender moments are where it's at folks.

The Stevers Family || Columbus, Ohio Family Photography

It's been a year and a half since I've had the Stevers family in front of my lens. The kiddos have grown up so much and were definitely more comfy with me photographing them. We had such a fun time!
