Monica & Shawn | Mentor Headlands Beach Engagement

December 15, 2014

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!

Anna & Clede | Mentor Headlands Beach Engagement

September 12, 2013

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.

Jamie & Tom | Engagement

September 17, 2012

Jamie and Tom came to me via my sweet friend Maggie, who, long story short, had a free session. After moving across the country —TWICE! —with her new husband, she knew she wouldn't be able to use the session anytime soon, so she passed it along to her newly engaged cousin ... Jamie! Got that? :)

These are the people in my life—really generous and so, so nice. And Jamie and Tom are extensions of that. They were up for anything. Running? Check. Wading in the water? Check. Being picked up? Check. You know I love when clients do the slightly crazy things I ask of them with no hesitation. It makes for fun photos, and these? These are some of my favorites ever.

Enjoy this cute couple and this glorious, warm light.

My favorites! You guys are awesome! And that light! Gah!
