Celebrating the Photo Studio with a Grand Opening

On Tuesday, we celebrated.  And I’ve just caught my breath from the whirlwind of activity.  Opening a photo studio and throwing a grand opening was kind of like having a baby and a wedding all at once.  And I am so thankful for all of my clients, friends and family who came out to celebrate!

Cranberry Photography Studio Now Open

Scio Wedding: Diamond Lake Event Barn

Last Saturday was such a beautiful day to kick off the 2022 wedding season!  I was honored to photograph Taylor and Hunter’s wedding at Diamond Lake Barn and Event Center in Scio, Ohio.  It’s a lovely venue with lots of gorgeous scenery for photos.  We had so much fun, I had trouble narrowing down the photos to share, so I put together a video of highlights.  But first, here are some of my favorite photos of the day:

Celebrating Our Family Story With A Wall Gallery

When I walk down my steps to go out of my front door, I pass through a gallery of framed prints lining the walls of my stairs.  It’s like walking through a photo album of some of our sweetest moments from the time my boys were babies up through the present day.  It’s a gallery that grows with our family, and of course, it features some of my favorite artwork!  Our boys enjoy looking at the photos and talking about which portraits are their’s, how old they were, and what was happening at that time.
