ASHLEIGH + BLAKE | JAMAICA

2011-12-15T12:27:00.000-08:00

where do i start... this was one of the most amazing experiences i have had filled with wonderful new friends and warm jamaican sunshine. this october i got the chance to go to negril, jamaica and photograph ashleigh + blake's sweet beach wedding. about 30 of their friends and family made the journey to jamaica. i love getting to know my couples and their families during their wedding day but this time, i felt like i was family by spending a few days lounging by the pool and traveling out of the country with them! and how awesome are ashleigh + blake for jumping in the water? up-for-absolutely-anything brides are the best :) we also made friends with one of the employees of the resort who left us each little handwritten notes. so what do you say jamaica crew ... let's go back?

i don't know that we have ever taken any photos without horrible faces and that's what makes us such wonderful friends :)

THE NAUSEEF FAMILY

2011-10-19T15:28:00.000-07:00

i'm pretty sure that ever since i came to blink three years ago, we have tried to photograph carmen and her family. and i'm happy to say... we finally did it! i have loved getting to know carmen and her family over the past few years. these boys are filled with so much love and personality. not to mention how much they have grown in a short few years! i'm so glad i was able to capture this time in their lives, the time when the boys get so excited that they jump up and down about carnival rides, cheer each other on when playing games, and laugh whole heartedly together. knowing these guys, they will always be like this! carmen and jp you have raised such wonderful boys. i can't wait to watch them continue to grow. thank you for making me a part of it :) now enjoy all of the lights, colors, and smiles! make sure to watch the video from david at the bottom ( isn't he awesome!?! )!

yesterday was my grandpa's 91st birthday and i decided to celebrate by making him fish cupcakes! he is both a farmer and a fisherman so he thoroughly enjoyed the fishies. i apparently have a thing for making animal cupcakes having made both pigs and pandas in the past for different friends! who know's what i'll bake up next :)

JESSE + IAN ARE MARRIED!

2011-07-11T02:37:00.000-07:00

jesse + ian were married in the picturesque setting of jesse's moms property in cincinnati on a beautiful june day. i absolutely love outdoor weddings! there were so many great little backgrounds around the house and outside that made for some great settings for photos. all of the handmade details with the different potted plants on every table, packets of wildflower seeds, and mason jars with their engagement photos inside were perfect!

the ivory mismatched bridesmaids dresses were such a sweet touch.

check out jesse's sisters triplets! aren't they just the cutest?! :)

this video chat was going for all of the big events at the wedding with one of the couple's close friends that couldn't make it. it's awesome how technology can include those that aren't able to be there!!

GRANNY'S 80!

2011-07-03T17:23:00.000-07:00

my sweet little granny turns 80 this month so we decided to throw her a little surprise party! it was such a wonderful evening filled with laughter ( if you know the albrecht's you know you can't get us all together and not have an overabundance of that! ), tears, good times, and cheers!

my granny is known for her ability to instantaneously cry. so of course, once she realized all of her family and friends had gathered to celebrate 80 wonderful years of her life, she cried. luckily, my aunt was fully prepared with tissues!

you may not know that i come from a HUGE family. my dad is one of 11 ( this is all of the kids below! ) and my mom is one of 8. i wouldn't want it any other way, a big family is the most fun!

this is a gift from one of my grandparents friend who was a photographer. he took this picture of my grandpa many years ago just for fun and then decided to get creative years later! that is a photo of my granny when she was about 4 in the dream bubble above him :) it's such a sweet way to remember my gramps.

here's a few from the photobooth i made! everyone seemed to have fun with all of my handmade props :)

THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL...

2011-05-21T05:57:00.001-07:00

Many people often ask me how I got started in photography and I always laugh and say it was because of my cat, Misty. But it truly is this one image that really made me want to be a photographer. I remember taking a class in high school called Art Photo just for fun. We shot with black and white film and we used darkrooms to develop our own prints and film. We had little assignments like "take a picture of a mailbox, people in work clothes, feet, etc." We were then allowed to use the rest of our frames left on the roll to photograph anything that we thought would make a great picture. It wasn't until I took this photo with my $5 Walmart plastic camera of my cat as one of those extras that I was really drawn to photography. I was amazed at how light can really influence an image. Some people looked at the photo and thought it was upside down and I loved the fact that I made people think when they looked at it. This photo is a snapshot of time. Misty always laid on the couch soaking up the warm sun and sleeping and it made me see that even the most ordinary of situations can make an extraordinary photography. That year I won a photography award for that photo and I started thinking that this could be something I really enjoyed. I then became involved in my high school yearbook as a photographer and continued taking high level photography classes and made the decision to go to college and major in Commercial Photography. I had my heart set on photography and there was no one stopping me.

It's a very sad day for me today as this sweet little kitty has passed away. She will continue to bring me inspiration in my photography and I will always remember her as the one that made me find my passion and the one that started it all...

HEATHER + JEFF ARE GETTING MARRIED!

2011-05-16T16:51:00.000-07:00

i'm so excited for heather + jeff's wedding this weekend! i had such a fun time running around cincinnati with them for their engagement session. funny story, while i was getting a shot of their shoes i was down on the ground and apparently a passerby thought something was wrong so he yelled to the policemen standing by "we got one down!" we cracked up and and told them i was fine, just getting that perfect shot! :) we ended the evening with some yummy graeters!

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE... SUMMER!

2011-05-13T17:49:00.000-07:00

the weather has been unseasonably warm the past few days after a few weeks of nonstop rain, but i'm not complaining! i grabbed some of my favorite flowers today, ranunculus. i love their curvy stems and springy colors!

EMILY + NIC ARE GETTING MARRIED!

2011-05-10T07:26:00.000-07:00

after weeks of rain, the clouds cleared and we had a beautiful sunny day for emily + nic's engagement session in columbus. we shot around ohio state's campus and the short north. we ended at their favorite spot betty's. now that i know where it is, they said i HAVE to go there before i see them for their wedding :) looks like i know where i'm headed next time i'm in columbus! can't wait for these guys wedding in a month!

HAPPY EASTER

2011-04-24T16:48:00.001-07:00

i hope everyone had a wonderful easter! i know i enjoyed spending mine with family and yummy food :) here's a little easter basket i made with homemade reese eggs ( a family favorite ) and my fingerprint chick card.

ANNA

2011-04-22T05:19:00.000-07:00

it was incredibly windy the day of anna's senior session and not to mention a muddy mess after an entire day of raining the day before but she was up for anything ( i love my seniors! ) it's obvious that spring is finally here with the flowers and warm sun shining in these photos!

LIZ + GREG | PART II

2011-04-07T08:41:00.000-07:00

liz + greg held their reception at the amazing tangeman university center on university of cincinnati's campus. it was such a great venue, just a big blank white canvas that they made look great! it was also perfect being the cold early spring day that is was with all of the white walls and huge windows around the building making for some lovely places to take photos.

the lantern's hanging from the ceiling made for great ambiance and i love how they look like polka dots in the photos!

greg chose to have a "best man" and "best dude" :)

i LOVED this cake and the total simplicity of it.

LIZ + GREG | PART I

2011-04-06T12:00:00.001-07:00

part II coming soon!

liz + greg were the first couple to be married in this beautiful brand new church.

i loved that the girls came prepared with rainboots just in case it rained!

BEAUTIFUL LENGTHS

2011-03-31T13:30:00.000-07:00

after stumbling upon this photo last week on pinterest, i decided it was time again to donate my hair. just over two years ago, i donated my hair for the first time to pantene beautiful lengths. this time, steph at square one cut off the 10 inches to be donated ( pantene only requires 8 inches ). with warm weathered thoughts, i figured its time to make the cut!

the one thing i know i will miss is being able to throw it back into a pony tail whenever i don't feel like doing my hair. now, all i've got is a little sprout!

so, what do you think!?

JENNY + JUSTIN ARE GETTING MARRIED!

2011-03-24T08:52:00.000-07:00

i have been friends jenny since we were just little bitty girls watching our brother's baseball games. and i can't believe my little jenny is getting married!!! but i am so happy for her! needless to say we've been in each others lives for nearly 20 years ( through birthdays, family vacations, first time at the mall by ourselves and moves to other cities ) and i am so excited to be photographing her beautiful wedding. her family has been like family to me all of my life ( her mom has even been referred to as my other mother :) ). i have seen her through our lives as an amazing daughter, sister, and best friend, and i can't wait to see her as an equally wonderful bride :)

so here are some shots of the happy family with their sweet little miniature poodle, charlie. he's such a great model! :) and only because ohio state takes on kentucky tomorrow in the march madness tournament, GO BUCKS!! :)

AMBER

2011-03-22T08:41:00.000-07:00

amber is the big sister of khayla, another senior from this past year. amber is a senior as well but a senior in college! her mom made the TU sweater (how creative!) for amber since she is graduating from tuskegee university this spring. i know amber will be doing great things in the real world! :)

AMRITA

2011-03-03T13:05:00.000-08:00

spencer was another great senior from this past fall!

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

2011-02-14T08:10:00.000-08:00

i love valentines day and the fact that it lets me spend the week leading up to it in a furry of doilies and flour. (oh and i guess that i get to spend it with those that are so special to me in my life and i couldn't possibly live without!! :) ) it is completely necessary that any valentine i give be made by hand. its like an adventure when i go to the craft store every year with no idea what i will make and literally make it up as i go. this year i decided to combine a whole lot of my favorites i found perusing the store including bunting, kraft mini envelopes, heart doilies and paper clips.

no valentine is complete without a sweet treat (duh!) so this year i made red velvet cupcakes (why aren't they red? we didn't add red food coloring. but did you know why it was originally red before people started using the fake coloring? it's a chemical reaction between the unprocessed cocoa and buttermilk. which we used but apparently we aren't scientists because... well it didn't turn red!) with a strawberry marshmallow cream cheese frosting and of course snickerdoodles (a family favorite).

i have a special place in my heart that LOVES LOVE. come on, i get to photograph weddings, how could i not love love?! so i hope you enjoy this special day not for the hype of candies and flowers but to cherish those in your life that you love. because all you really need in life is... love.

POWER PLEASE

2011-02-04T14:43:00.000-08:00

due to a crazy ice invasion earlier this week, i was left without power for 3 nights. needless the say, i spent the last few evenings by candlelight! we are lucky enough to have a gas fireplace so we stayed nice and warm. yesterday we spent the evening moving all of the stuff from our fridge outside (natural freezer with it getting down to 6 degree last night!) but thankfully we got our power back this afternoon. here's some photos i took trying to make the best of the situation :) can't wait for warm weather...

COLLEEN + CHUCK

2011-02-03T08:00:00.000-08:00

colleen + chuck got married during the first big snowfall of the year. it was a perfect white winter wedding and they were such troopers for hiking through the snow!

everyone was busy getting ready to start the ceremony and we looked over and saw this little guy just playing away on the piano!

the same little guy on the piano was on the phone during the entire ceremony ;)

PATTY CAKE, PATTY CAKE

2011-01-21T19:30:00.001-08:00

i made a cake... just so i had a reason to make mini bunting (my current obsession)! and it was SOOO worth it. okay maybe i just wanted to eat some cake :) nothing is better than a yummy vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing made from scratch! mmm...

VERONICA

2011-01-10T17:23:00.000-08:00

veronica is a senior (and my cousin!) and such a fun person to be around. here's some of my favorites i grabbed of her when she was in town from oklahoma (which is where i was born!) this summer.

LINDSEY + JOEL

2011-01-06T10:02:00.001-08:00

lindsey + joel had a beautiful fall wedding and i was so happy to be able to capture their special day! the trolley was such a fun mode of transportation for the whole wedding party to be able to be together. not to mention, these guys had some of THE cutest kids involved in their wedding :)

i was telling the bride and groom to kiss in this shot and we all started laughing when we saw the sweet little ones do the same :)

check out all of these cute kiddos at the wedding!!

the book was made by the best man, and it was adorable!

E + J ARE GETTING MARRIED!

2010-11-19T08:06:00.001-08:00

where do i start?! there is so much to say about this super awesome couple! e is everything i wish i was in her amazing ability to make anything and everything absolutely adorable. no seriously, just see the photos! i couldn't help but snap all of the sweet details around their house. when i first met with e + j they casually asked if i knew about the Friends episode (the one with the engagement photo) and i laughed and said of course! thinking nothing of it and just being happy they watched Friends! then they mentioned how they were both guilty of being Chandler smilers every time a camera came in front of them. i told them they were crazy and i would make sure that the Chandler smiles were kept to a minimum ;) but lets be real, there are none to be seen!! so keep reading and brace yourself for some cuteness!

e + j had this cute little banner hanging over their kitchen doorway.

her ring is AMAZING! and j designed it just for her.

meet winston. winston churchill. their sweet little pup! and because like i said earlier, e makes everything into something totally adorable, his little banner above his dog bowls.

e is so creative that she made this paper chain link count down until their wedding! each month is a different paper and each link is a week. such a fun little way to count down the days! but because it's so darn cute they don't rip off the links :) instead is sits interwoven into their candles sitting on top of their fireplace.

how cute of a house is this?!

this is THE couch. and by THE i mean THE couch where he proposed :)

fun fact: e made her little red flowers on her coat. of course. told you she's awesome!

what's the book j's reading about you ask? no clue. :)

e + j love thinking of unusual words so when we first started the session i asked them what makes them laugh and they both immediately said words! it took me a while before i could think of a word worthy enough of making them laugh and for this photos i shouted out HIPPOPOTAMUS! but i think they only laughed to make me feel better because they were coming up with much better words! so why throw the hippo? my college roommate and i came up with the idea one night ( avoiding studying i'm sure! ) to listen to how they say certain words on dictionary.com and we could not stop laughing when we heard the male voice say hippopotamus.

SARAH + JJ

2010-11-09T07:55:00.000-08:00

i'm so glad to finally be blogging this wedding! we have been so busy shooting and editing. this wedding was a total DIY, which i absolutely love and admire! they were such a sweet couple and fun wedding party. loved the girls dresses! all of the details at the reception were made by them and they were laughing about the tree branches that they said sarah's mom hiked into the woods for :) and the groom's "cake" was so cute and yummy!

JEN + JON | ENGAGED

2010-10-27T14:57:00.001-07:00

jen + jon were so sweet... until the football photos started! ;) who won? i give the game to jen for her effort and taking a blow to the chin in mid-tackle! haha, they are such fun people and i loved their idea to incorporate their favorite football teams into the photos. it's always special when something meaningful is used to really capture the couple. can't wait for your wedding!

ANNA

2010-10-21T10:17:00.000-07:00

JESSE + IAN ... + GOATS?

2010-10-19T11:25:00.000-07:00

i've been looking forward to blogging this engagement session since i shot it! it was such a fun evening in a beautiful place in kentucky with a really awesome couple! all of the photos were taken around jesse + ian's house, how great of a place do they live?! and they have goats who were very excited for the photos and really wanted to check out (or nibble on!!) my camera :) ian was talking about the sunset throughout the shoot and how spectacular the view out their front porch is and i have to say, i totally agree! thanks for the yummy chili and good time, can't wait for your wedding!!

DOMINIQUE

2010-10-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

BRENDA + GARY + RENEE + AJ + NICK

2010-10-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

this family is so full of energy!!! the kids had such bubbly personalities and i think the pictures really capture them :) and check out how awesome their cartwheels are! i remember first learning how to do a cartwheel when i did gymnastics when i was younger. i literally did them everywhere!! ( and i mean everywhere! in school, which i got my name of the board for :), and down the hallway at home ) instead of walking i decided cartwheels were a better mode of transportation!

wow! i have been on the go traveling for the past week photographing a beautiful wedding in rhode island and then heading to nyc for a workshop. i love traveling and shooting in new places! here's some of my favorites from nyc. i'm not a city person at all but it's so incredible there with all the lights and people. i was only there for a short time so i didn't get to see much of the city, but my cousin showed me around times square ( that's where these photos are from). i can't wait to go back and explore the city more!

the polaroids are some of my favorites from the feet first workshop i went to at the impossible project. it's such a great movement to bring back polaroids ( in october 2008 the impossible project saved the last polaroid production plant for integral instant film in enschede (NL) and started to re-invent and re-produce a new instant film for traditional polaroid cameras. ) i grew up taking polaroids so it was great to get back at it again and new york makes it easy to find some great things to shoot. i met some really awesome people there and am so excited to use what i learned!

ABBY

2010-09-16T12:19:00.000-07:00

abby is such a fun outgoing senior! her dog, daisy, passed away a couple weeks before our session so she wanted to have a little something in her photos to remind her with some daisy flowers! so you will see little peeks of daisy throughout the photos :)

KATHERINE + BIP + JOE + JACK

2010-09-15T12:09:00.000-07:00

these kids were so thrilled for this photo shoot and throughout the session they kept saying how they couldn't wait to see the photos! i love when clients are really excited for their sessions, especially the kiddos!! they were so easy to photograph and such sweet siblings. we ended by going down to the creek where they love to hang out. such great energy in all of them! thanks mom for letting them run around with me!!

LIZ + GREG | ENGAGED

2010-09-14T10:49:00.000-07:00

liz and greg met at UC and are having their reception on UC's campus so what's more appropriate than doing some of the engagement photos there! it's such an architecturally interesting campus (it's know for it's architecture program!) with a mix of modern and traditional buildings. i loved how when i asked liz how they met she mentioned that they were good friends and one day thought "who is this person in front of me and why are we not dating?!" so sweet :) i'm looking forward to your wedding in march!!

CHARLIE

2010-08-31T10:58:00.001-07:00

meet charlie. he was up for anything (like running in front of the field hockey girls for a photo :) okay, that took some persuasion!! ) and he kept us laughing the whole time.

KIMIA

2010-08-27T14:22:00.000-07:00

kimia, another awesome cincinnati senior, was a trooper for this session! it managed to rain the entire time!! every time we thought it was over it would start spitting again. but we managed to make it work and even get some fun ones with the umbrella!

LINDSEY + NOLAN - PART II

2010-08-25T14:25:00.000-07:00

i met lindsey in college in a group called kappa phi. i remember over the summer she casually asked if i photographed weddings and thinking nothing of it said of course! thinking one of her friends was getting married. once school started back up i soon found out that she was the one engaged and was sneakily asking if i would photograph her wedding! it's always so great to photograph a friends wedding and the reception was a blast with some of the kappa phi girls that were there. (the big group of girls in the reception photos are them!!) the ceremony was so beautiful with the sun setting and the lights of the columbus skyline illuminating. and of course they rode off in style with their bicycle drawn carriage :)

LINDSEY + NOLAN - PART I

2010-08-24T13:31:00.000-07:00

i know these two have been excited to see some from their special day so without further ado, i'll let the pictures speak for themselves :) more with their amazing ceremony and reception overlooking the city of columbus, their fun wedding party and wonderful reception in part II coming soon!

this shirt was a gift from the nolan's brother, haha

SARAH + JJ - SNEAK PEEK

2010-08-23T12:40:00.000-07:00

sarah and jj were such a fun couple and i loved the way they incorporated shoes into their day. jj LOVES sneakers so it was only appropriate for him to wear them on his wedding day :) while the dad's sported the patent leather converse and the bride added a special touch with "i do" on the bottom of her shoes! can't wait to edit all of the photos from the day!

SYDNEY

2010-08-22T09:58:00.000-07:00

meet sydney, another one of our amazing cincinnati seniors! she loves sidewalk chalk so we made sure to incorporate that into the session! thanks for a fun morning in cincinnati :)

SARA

2010-08-17T07:27:00.000-07:00

sara was such a sweet senior! we had fun running around grabbing some shots. she's so cute and has such gorgeous blue eyes! good luck with your senior year, sara!

CONNOR + GAVIN

2010-08-08T17:08:00.000-07:00

these two boys get even more cute every year! i love seeing little ones grow up in front of my camera.

MAXINE

2010-07-27T16:15:00.000-07:00

maxine totally reminds me of a young meg ryan! she's absolutely gorgeous and such a pleasure to photograph. we ran around town snapping some shots before she heads off to college this fall. good luck at school! ps check out that butterfly in the flower field photo, i didn't even realize it until i was editing! happy little coincidence :)

KRISTY + TYLER | ENGAGED

2010-07-22T19:13:00.000-07:00

kristy and tyler are yet another miami merger that blink of an eye has had the pleasure of photographing! for those who don't know about the miami mergers, it's kind of a big deal! :) it means that the couple both graduated from miami u ohio so of course we had to do the engagement session at miami. tyler had all the locations that were special to them picked out which was so sweet. and the street corner? where they had their first kiss! :) i can't wait for your wedding next year!

TASTE THE RAINBOW

2010-07-18T17:30:00.000-07:00

no, not skittles! but rainbow swiss chard :) i think this is one of the coolest vegetables ever! we are growing it in our garden that we have at my grandparents farm. once we harvested some of it i had to take a photo with all of its colorful hues. sometimes the simplest things can be so beautiful.

KAITI + PAUL

2010-07-08T18:53:00.000-07:00

this couple is made up of two of the nicest people you will ever meet, ask anyone that knows them! they are so sweet and had such an emotional ceremony. i just love the look of pure joy and happiness on paul's face as he see's kaiti for the first time when she walks down the aisle. and how about those killer yellow shoes?!? so fun! i got to venture back to athens to photograph this wedding and ever since i first went to radar hill, i knew i wanted to take a wedding party up there in the rolling hills and tall grass. it's so beautiful and peaceful up there. and kaiti is so crafty! she made the paper her guestbook and table numbers were written on. such a wonderful day and i'm so glad i was able to capture it!

ANOTHER YEAR OLDER, ANOTHER YEAR WISER?

2010-07-06T15:30:00.000-07:00

yesterday was my birthday, so i celebrated relaxing with family and friends. how perfect! i was greeted this morning with this super yummy and cute cake from the blink girls. carmen grabbed a few shots, and i dove right in! :) wiser? not too sure about that. sillier? maybe that's more like it!

ANGIE + SHANE

2010-06-24T18:10:00.000-07:00

this wedding was so natural and beautiful, just like the couple! their details were handcrafted and the ceremony heartfelt. this amazing couple spent six months hiking the appalachian trail not too long ago!!! i think that their being in touch with mother nature helped inspire such a warm sunny afternoon for their wedding. the sun was shining and the skies were so blue! such a wonderful day and i'm so happy i was a part of it :)
