Meet my goofy friends : Lana and Bret! It was their 10 years anniversary and we did a little shoot for just two of them to celebrate their marriage and love for each other.

For the entire time of their photo shoot I kept trying to make them act serious, but they just could not stop smiling and laughing! I love you guys!
Happy Anniversary! :)))


































On my last trip to Chicago, I had a pleasure to photograph a wonderful family. First we went to downtown of Naperville and walked around, fed duckies and I almost fell in the river. ( A given with my style of photography, a MUST on every photoshoot!
) Then Irina’s sister stopped by for a second to pick up kids. I could not help but snap a few shots of her and her little girl- SO cute and ADORABLE!!! Then we ventured in the close by park and little streets to photograph Irina’s and Dimitry Love Store. See, it was their anniversary and they wanted “just because” session! I have TONS of my favorites, so be patient as 60 + photos will get loaded- I promise you will not be disappointed! ![]()

“We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.”

” Anyone can be passionate, but it takes true lovers to be silly. “
When we spontaneously decided to photograph my friend’s Love Story during long 4th of July weekend, I had no idea what I signed up for!!!! These two are SO much fun and were running around making silly faces and playing with each other like a bunch of kids!

I love love. When I see two people in love it just makes me happy. And especially when they are my friends AND I get a chance to photograph them!!!! On Monday we spontaneously set up a photoshoot in Downtown Cincinnati ( THANKS to long weekend!!!!) and got some amazing photographs! I know they both are dying to see some shots, so I decided to post this teaser here! Aren’t they ONE HOT looking couple????
Enjoy!


It seems like forever ago I had a consultation with these two: Melissa and Jason. Right away I felt how easy going and fun they are, and after being together for so long they really “get” each other. I loved how Jason knew exactly what to order for Melissa out of menu, and how she giggled every time he would make a joke that day! Right there I knew these guys complete each other!
Their Photoshoot took place at Downtown Cincinnati and surrounding areas. Here is a pick of my favorites! I am looking forward to photograph their Wedding Day!































It was such a FUN Wednesday Night- both Melissa and Jason are amazing- but together- they are incredible! I can not wait to show you their entire Love Story Session- enjoy this one sneak peek from that night- I know Melissa loved these last photographs the most!

Ryan and Mary are getting married! “Shut up! … For Real?!!!” Apparently that’s what Mary kept saying when Ryan popped the question on a ride in a carriage in gorgeous downtown Cincinnati, even though she does not recall it!
She was clueless since they went out on Monday and had a gift certificate to the Brazilian steak house Boi Na Braza. After being together for two years they still wonder if their paths crossed many times before since they have so many mutual friends together. The proposal supposed to happen the Friday before, but Mary got sick so Ryan had to change all the reservations- I bet he was stressed out!
Their wedding is in November and these are the shoes Mary is wearing! I am SO pumped!!!

On the day we got together to photograph their “Love Story” the weather was incredible! I had a really hard time picking out my faves this time! So enjoy a ton of pretty pictures! I am photographing Erica’s and Mike’s wedding tomorrow- who are really good friends with Mary and Ryan and I get to see them there tomorrow! So excited!!!! They are two sweet and fun people and went along with whatever ideas I had! I can not wait for their wedding!
