Spring Family session {Toledo family photographer}

Moore002

I am so excited for this (almost) spring weather! Soon my calendar will be filled with maternity sessions,  births, fresh baby, engagement and family sessions like this adorable session.

If you are dreaming of updating those family portraits, or if your walls are empty because you haven’t had an updated session in years like most families, be sure to contact me asap! Before you know, those kiddos will be graduated, off to college or military, and those family sessions will be few and far between. Trust me, as a mama of 7, it’s so very hard to get all my kiddos together at one time!

Being invited into someone’s home is such a blessing. One’s HOME is very personal, a scared place where family gathers to love, laugh, cry, LIVE.

I met the Burschur family a couple years ago when i was asked to photograph Dad’s 60th birthday celebration o the golf course at at their home. Last year the girls called me for mom’s birthday party. Recently they welcomed the first grandbaby into the family and OH, what a JOY!

Baby Alexander was the star of this session! You can just feel all the love surrounding this new bundle.

Bruce Family ~ Downtown~ Toledo, Ohio

It’s always a treat to photograph friends! When they trust ME to preserve their family dynamics, precious moments in their lives when they only are together sparingly as everyone has their own agenda, their own lives.

Since the youngest. Bailey, was in need to senior photos, they called on me and made a family day of it! Driving an hour to come see, I feel so appreciative of their time!

Thanks Ron & Brenda Bruce, and Nick, Jake and Bailey! Much love!

I call my engagement sessions {LOVE} sessions and I’ve done so for years. WHY? because that’s what I’m capturing and preserving.. a couples’ LOVE. They could be engaged for months or even years, so that’s not what I’m photographing. I have always just wanted to show the LOVE between people whether it’s a couple, husband/wife, mother/child, father/son, family, sisters, brothers, you name it.

I never strive for perfection. I strive for emotion. Moments. Laughter. Tears. all of it. I want it all.

Even though this was an “engagement” session included with my wedding collections, these two adorable people have created another adorable human, their son Julian. A handful of a toddler with his own agenda, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him too! I did get some images of just mom and dad, but this guy stole the show, and I wanted to share their whole love story!

Allyson and Nick, I cannot wait to celebrate with you two and your families at your wedding in just six more months!

See you soon!

one of the things I love most about what I do is being invited into someone’s home, their very personal space, and seeing how they interact with one another and love as a family.

this family is so very special to me. not only are they my doctors of chiropractic, (check out Turning Point Chiropractic In Perrysburg) they are truly an amazing little family and I am so blessed to have them in OUR lives!
