Students of the Landscape Management Program from the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center assist in the continued transformation of the US 422 Corridor by installing landscaped beds of pollinator plants, shrubs, and small trees through a vision created by the Kent State University Graduate Landscape Architecture Program and the Youngstown State University Regional Economic Development Initiative.
Kellyn • senior portraits
I want to be as cool as Kellyn when I grow up... what a beauty you are, Kellyn! This was our "urban" session - stay tuned for part two of our session at the MetroParks Farm, coming soon!
Beth Ann + Chris • engaged
Two of my favorite people on earth are getting married next month! Our best friends Chris and Beth Ann will be in excellent hands with Melanie photographing their wedding (I'm a Matron of Honor!), but these portraits NEEDED to happen because the world NEEDS to see just how dang cute these two are.
The Kuklas • July 30, 2016
All the weddings I photograph are special in one way or another. This wedding, however, was EXTRA special because the bride is the sister of one of my very best friends since middle school. I have known the Kuklas for almost 20 years and they are an amazing, loving, wonderful family. When Angela and Shawn hired me to photograph their laid back, rustic wedding, I couldn't wait to spend the day celebrating with them - and their adorable daughter, Julia, who kiiiiind of stole the show :) The day was filled with thoughtful and unique touches, from craft beer as far as the eye could see and food trucks from Square Scullery and Swensons (drool alert) to Irish step dancers a bagpiper, and Papa Joe leading a conga line at the end of the night. Such a fun day for these two lovebirds!
