Monica & Shawn | Mentor Headlands Beach Engagement

I met Monica and Shawn for their engagement photos on the most gorgeous September evening. I'm pretty sure the light says it all here. That and their constant laughter. Let's just say Shawn is a tad funny. ;)

I loved observing the way Shawn treats Monica … with the utmost respect and love.

This might be my favorite ring shot EVER!

The light at Mentor Headlands is just perfect in the evenings. The sun sets right over the water and you can shoot until the last possible moment.

I can't wait for your June wedding, you two!

The D Family

This session with the D family makes me dream of summer (yeah, yeah, I know it's fall now, but I love summer). It was SO warm when we trekked to Headlands Beach for some family photos. This clan just welcomed little Rima into the world a few months ago, and I was so honored to take some photos of the new foursome. Isn't the D family sweet? :)

Grandma was visiting all the way from Lithuania! The grandkids adore her. :)

Little Lukas is such a gentleman.

Anna & Clede | Mentor Headlands Beach Engagement

This is one of my all-time favorite engagement sessions! Not kidding. Between Anna and Clede's energy, the beach, the light, and the perfect sunset, it all just came together beautifully. These two are New Yorkers who are coming all the way back to Anna's hometown of Cleveland to get married next year. It's sure to be a fun one ... I can't wait!

These two could be in a sunglasses ad. ;)

Love this one.
