Erica and Jimmy {lovey dovey} northeast ohio engagement photographer

I'm so excited to show you these shots. Erica and Jimmy are a very sweet couple. I'm not just saying this because Erica is my sister in law and Jimmy is about to join the "benchwarmers" alongside me, but because they really are so sweet together. They're always snuggling and super lovey towards one another. I make fun of them a lot but in all honesty they're exactly how a newly engaged couple should behave.

During our first session it had started to rain and we needed to reschedule. We met up a few days later and were able to capture some gorgeous shots. I love all of these photo's. They really capture them perfectly.

I hope you love these pictures as much as I do.

It's freezing in Cleveland... freezing! I thought I'd post a few shots from a loverly engagement session I shot over the summer. Again, congratulations!

Dr. Seuss birthday soiree | Colin and Aidan turn 2!

Beth e-mailed me asking if I could capture her little one's birthday party. She had told me all about her theme and her boys and I just couldn't resist. I left my husband in charge of all the kids (our littlest arrived 3 weeks ago!) and was welcomed with a hug from a woman I had never met. Her attention to detail was adorable and after I left I received the sweetest e-mail thanking me for my time... before she even saw her pictures. Is this friendship? I think so!  
Here's a peek into Colin and Aidan's 2nd birthday party.

Erica is my husbands littlest sister. She's the last of the Smith's to get married. I'm so beyond thrilled to have been able to capture some engagement shots for them. The wedding is set for THIS January. Good luck in all the last minute details.
I hope you enjoy your teeny tiny sneak peek.

THANK YOU!

I'm nearing the end of my first year of taking pictures "professionally". I've learned SO much during this first year and I have so much left to learn. Photography has been such a blessing to me. It's given me the chance to express myself creatively, and it's gotten me in touch with so many old friends and has given me the chance to meet so many new friends. I'm thankful for all the memories I was able to capture for my clients. I truly hope you enjoyed your photo's and that I was able to give you something to cherish that wasn't exactly a cookie cutter type of image. It was my goal to capture you as you. To capture the joy in your face while you watch your children laugh, to capture the love you share as a family, or as a couple without having to ask you to say cheese and stare directly into my lens.
I have some great things to introduce next spring. I'm taking this winter off to welcome our third child into our family. With my due date quickly approaching I'm taking the next few weeks (or days as it may be) to enjoy with my family of 4 before it becomes a family of 5. Thank you for all the amazing memories and I look forward to capturing your families as they grow.
Best,
Tess
