Ben ...

I always look forward to shooting the beautiful streets of Covington when I get the chance. The rich textures, the history lined streets, the impressive Roebling and the skyline of our gorgeous city peaking over the Ohio, all provide an amazing backdrop. Add to that, an intelligent and handsome senior along with a portion of his gorgeous family and you're assured an easy evening. Ben and family, thank you so much for the time, it was genuinely a pleasure. I wish you great success at UC, Ben, and beyond - I've no doubt this new season will be an excellent one! ~ B

The Spotts Family ...

36 years and 3 generations of history walking Ault with this gorgeous family. It’s rare to find such longevity in family these days and I was lucky to be there for the camaraderie, the encouragement and the celebration. Spotts family, it was a pleasure spending time with the nine of you, thank you so much for the time. I wish you great luck and many healthy and abundantly blessed years to come! ~ B

The Williams Family ...

Ault Park is ongoingly like a giant game of chess when shooting. Always considering where the sun is, what photographer happens to be in the spot you'd like to shoot in, waiting out the time for an opening, navigating frisbee games that pop up BUT all in all, it is a beautiful spot for families. And meeting this wonderful family there was just a bonus.

I can't get enough time with you guys. Shawn and Tiffany ... it is mind blowing how crazy fast time is and how these sweet boys have grown since we first met. I look forward to seeing what the Good Lord has in store for you guys with this new babe ... No doubt, boy or girl, it is going to be a beauty, can't wait to meet the munchkin! Thank you again! ~ B

Olivia …

Rain poured down as we ducked into a doorway at Findlay Market. We watched passerby after passerby run past, soaking wet, as the downpour persisted. Convinced the storm would pass we kept consulting radar in an attempt to assure any lingering doubts and as the heavens would have it, the clouds pushed past and the sun peaked out. The occasional clang of thunder could be heard as we wandered the streets and as a small rain shower came down, we opted for a short drive to Eden Park, where we hoped to finish. This beautiful senior persisted in the wandering and I’m so thankful she did. The night ended with a beautiful sky filled with golden sun that complimented her freckles and crazy blue eyes in a gorgeous way. Olivia and Jennifer, Thank you for walking with me, for allowing me the time. I hope the upcoming year exceeds all expectations. God Bless! ~ B

Adyn's Second ....

Seeing this beautiful family and photographing their sweet boy's birthday is always a highlight! Tiffany and Shawn, I hope you are all fully recovered from his amazing LilyPad birthday party and resting up well before that new babe makes its appearance! As always, it was an absolute pleasure, your little guy is a special one! ~ B

Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant ...

I find it a little ironic that I'm quoting the Golden Girls theme song for a shoot with young friends but I find the words fitting. It's not often that you acquire folks in life, at any age, you genuinely feel connected to while feeling comfortable being exactly yourself and it was a pleasure seeing that kind of exchange with these three beauties.

Girls, I loved the time with you all and hope that you all continue to value your friendship. I pray that it is encased in love, grace and loads of laughter! Love you girls! :)

Julia ...

Shooting portraits with this stunning senior was a breeze and the Nature Center was the perfect backdrop for her as she readies herself to leave Cincinnati and head south in August! Julia, you are a beautiful person, inside and out, and I know that things will unfold brilliantly for you as you venture into life beyond the first 12! I look forward to seeing where it takes you. I wish you an abundance of great love, great memories and great peace in it all!

Joan and Jeremy thank you for allowing me the time with your amazing girl. Prayerful over you all this graduation season.

And Katie, keep your camera ready, you're gonna do great things with it! Love you guys! ~ B

Jayda

I met this lovely senior and her family downtown for a windy shoot! We weren't sure that the weather would cooperate but ended up with a fantastic evening. I love the textures that urban shoots provide and wind and skies full of enormous clouds only prove to add to them. Jayda, it was a pleasure wandering with you. Thank you for allowing me the time. I wish you the absolute best as you near the very end of senior year. Courtney and Ernie, thank you again for letting me photograph your beautiful girl, I'm so grateful. I look forward to seeing you again for her summer short. :) ~ B

Alexis ...

College graduations .... so profoundly worth celebrating. This beautiful senior is getting ready to do just that. Alexis, I'm so grateful you allowed me to shoot some photos for you and that you were willing to document your hardwork this way. I am looking forward to hearing where your career sends you and am certain that those you meet will be greatly impacted by your expertise. Congratulations! ~ B
