jen from sin pretty beauty did an incredible job of glammin' up megan and her girls.

SOPHIE!! 

megan wanted to do a bridesmaid reveal... needless to say I will be urging all of my brides from now on to do this. one of my favorite moments out of the whole day!

might have been just slightly obsessed with this stained glass window at st. charles.

EVAN • SENIOR PORTRAITS

// I fully stand by what I said earlier: maybe if the Cleveland Indians had called up boardman high school catcher extraordinaire evan knaus, things may have turned out a little differently this year... 😩 #thestruggle #clevelandsports

evan is a senior at boardman high school (my alma mater!) and was just a joy to photograph. sometimes teenage boys can be tough nuts to crack, but evan was super easygoing and such a good sport as we hiked through the woods and I attempted to to make him laugh with my horrible jokes. congrats evan!
