The Jacksons | Cool Weather, Dreams, and Cappuccino

Hello everyone! Wow, I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! The past few weeks have just flown by. But it's also been nice, because amidst that "flow" we have also had moments when we were able to just breathe and unwind a little bit. Amanda and I have been enjoying the cool weather and some warm cappuccino. We have been talking about our dreams and where we would like to be in the future. It's so exciting when you have a passion for something, for us it's photography and people, and you get to pursue that passion. We feel so blessed to have been given this gift of being able to capture some of the most exciting moments in people's lives. It totally rocks! Four years ago, as a freshman in college, I would never have guessed that this is where I would be now. I thank God that this is where I am…I wouldn't have it any other way.

In other news, this past week our car had to go in to the shop for a repair…it's funny how you don't really realize how cluttered your car has gotten until you have to let some stranger work on it. (At least that is how it was for me anyway...) Sometimes it feels like we almost live out of our car haha.

In parting, here are a couple images from our two most recent shoots, which we will be posting really soon! The first being an orchard portrait session with the McAlisters and their awesome kids, and the other a beautiful engagement session with Stephen and Kristin on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

Enjoy!

Troy and Stephanie | Vineyard Session Sneak Peek!

Whenever we get together with our friends Troy and Stephanie, we always have a blast. Whether we're running around downtown Columbus, using a flashlight and long camera exposure to "magically" write words and draw pictures in the air at night, or just hanging out and talking about life, our time spent together always flies by way too fast. And the same was true on a recent Friday afternoon when we met up with Troy and Stephanie at Stephanie's loft in Cedarville and then ventured to the beautiful Valley Vineyards about a half hour away. It took us a few tries and about a half an hour extra to find the vineyard (yeah…we're definitely no Rand McNally haha), and the rain threatened at times, but we still had an amazing time and got some great pictures! We will be posting the rest of their session very soon, but until then, here's a little teaser ;)
