Chris + Cecilia : Lancaster, Ohio Wedding

She was so nervous for their first date she had to drink some courage in the form of Jameson and Coke. Almost three years later, she poured the same drink for herself, her bridesmaids, and her mom as they toasted the upcoming wedding and prepared to slip her into her beautiful white dress. Cecilia's and Chris's wedding last Saturday was full of small, personal details like that one. The tractor that played a large part in Chris's proposal, a letter to his departed mother, and photos detailing their lives until their wedding day were also all incorporated into the reception. Chris and Cecilia are the picture of the perfect couple and their wedding last weekend was a picture perfect wedding. Both Chris and Cecilia have small town roots with close ties to their families which made for an intimate, fun, and romantic country wedding.

Chris and Cecilia- thank you so much for letting Blake and I capture your special day and tell your love story. We are so blessed for having been included in your wedding day. I hope you have an amazing time in Hawaii next week and I know you two have an incredible future ahead of you.

Keep smiling!

We started the day at Studio Fovero in Columbus's gorgeous German Village and then headed back to Cecilia's childhood home to get her in her dress and take a few pictures. Including an adorable one with her furry best friend.

The ceremony and reception were held on land that Cecilia owns not far from where she grew up. She and Chris did an amazing job transforming a field into a gorgeous wedding venue (along with help from Personal Touch Party Rentals).

I loved catching these moments right after Chris and Cecilia walked back down the aisle as a married couple. Cecilia getting a high five from her niece and Chris not being able to keep himself away from his beautiful bride.

Did I mention the amazing flowers and signs!? They were absolutely wonderful and the gorgeous flowers are from the fabulous Madison House Designs.

After such a gorgeous ceremony we spent the rest of the evening eating, laughing, and being led through the rest of the festivities by the amazing Capitol City Sound.

And I have to end with this precious picture from Chris and Cecilia's first dance as a married couple. It's a perfect way to show how close and in love these two were that night and will be for many, many years to come.

Meet James: 2014 Senior Portraits - Baltimore, Ohio


This is James, he's my very first 2014 senior and I couldn't have had a better introduction to the class of 2014. James is a great guy who is active in Liberty Union's marching band and is planning on heading into the world of business after high school next year. We had a great time last weekend at Alt Park in Baltimore and he humored me as I made him play his trombone and dance in the middle of a field.











James, thanks so much for spending the day with me! Enjoy your senior year and good luck with everything after high school!

Keep smiling!

David- Pataskala, Ohio Mini Senior Session

Senior Pictures Fire Station

You might recognize David from my senior session with him last summer and think he's missing something - like his afro. His mom contacted me a while ago to say that David needed an update to his senior pictures because he cut his hair. His first senior shoot was so fun, I didn't hesitate to say yes (you can see his first shoot here).

We met up for a mini-session at the Fire Station where David volunteers to get some pictures of his new 'do and work with some giant props. David's planning on going to Hocking College in the Fall to eventually become a full-time firefighter. David's mom even convinced him to get a little dressed up for a few pictures, and any guy who can wear a suit on an 86 degree day can handle a fire any day in my book.

David- thanks so much for hanging out with me and smiling through the pain and the heat. Good luck with everything in the future and enjoy the last few days of your senior year!

Keep smiling,
Kaylina

Michael + Katelyn: Newark, Ohio Engagement


Buckeye Lake Engagement Pictures

Let me start out with the obvious, Katelyn and Michael are absolutely adorable together. Katelyn is the kind of girl who never misses a chance to have a good time, tell you like it is, or be a little loud. And that's what everybody loves about her. She's an absolute sweet heart and compliments perfectly Michael's more reserved demeanor. They originally dated in high school, but got back together a few years later better than ever before.

As far as clients go, these two were perfect. They always kept each other laughing, so getting them to smile was never a problem. They couldn't keep their hands off each other, so getting those intimate poses just required me to keep the camera ready. Their love for each other was palpable and it was easy to see these two are meant for each other.

Katelyn and Michael- thank you so much for choosing me to capture your love story! I know you two will have a lifetime of happiness and laughter ahead of you.

Keep smiling!

We shot this engagement session on Wednesday in Dawes Arboretum in Newark, Ohio and Katelyn's Father's house at Buckeye Lake. We had to fight the "lake effect" of Katelyn's hair blowing all over the place between pictures and trying to maneuver the row boat in a timely manner may have put a few grey hairs on my head, but it was all worth it. Because Katelyn looks gorgeous and Michael looks in love. Who could ask for more?

Vernon + Demetrice: Columbus, Ohio Engagement Portraits

Vernon and Demetrice have technically been married for 9 years so these aren't really "engagement" pictures per say, but they plan on tying the knot again next May to celebrate their 10 year anniversary and their love that's even stronger than the first time they said "I do". I love a good love story and they're even better with unique beginnings. Vernon and Demetrice met through a telephone chat line and connected instantly, and after getting to know each other, realized that it really is a small world when Demetrice already knew Vernon's family. Fast forward a decade and they've created a wonderful life and family together.











We shot the engagement pictures last weekend at the Franklin Park Conservatory. I had such a good time getting to know Vernon and Demetrice and cannot wait to capture their wedding next May!

Keep smiling!
