Hey Hey!!
I know long time no talk! It has been absolutely crazy around here since the Weston Wedding last November. You know Holidays happened, then giant snowstorms and of course the great thaw. Needless to say my weekends have been busy soaking up friend and family time as well as enjoying the much missed snow that fell. I even had to buy a new pair of snow pants so I can help on the farm! We had about 20 inches fall last month here in Hartford, Ohio and it did not disappoint! I woke up one morning to 14 fresh inches laying on the ground and I could not wait to put on all my gear to go play in it. Thankfully my amazon delivery came early (oops) and I had snow pants to wear. My mom and I trekked up to the barn (its uphill) and we’re 5’2″ so imagine us trying to get up covered in snow gear. Needless to say it was an adventure. This week we hit 50s so it has all melted with the rain and brought on flash flooding. The yard and pasture are a muddy mess. I’ll have to share with y’all the gallery I did of the barn when everything was so frozen and just peaceful.. But enough about me, you’re really here to see Sean and Emily!
Meet Sean and Emily! My first 2022 couple and my first couple in the snow in a very long time! Sean and I have known each other since we were 2? Tiny, we were super itty bitty. His mom worked for my dad when I was younger and our families were super close. We all stayed in touch and Sean’s still one of my best friends to this day. A few weeks ago, might be a month now, he met Emily. Emily is amazing for being able to put up with the crazy energy that I know Sean to have. BUT we had such a blast going down to the park. We wanted to do something different and Emily NEEDED to have the covered bridge at Lanterman’s Mill. I mean why not? It is the perfect spot for a snowy, cold Sunday afternoon.
When we first planned our session it was for the Saturday prior, the roads still weren’t super clear from the extra 6 inches of snow we had AND it was 10 degrees. I’m okay with cold, but that was just too cold for anyone to endure. Thankfully the next day we were able to meet in 25 degree weather (heat wave) and have some fun. The one thing I did not know existed in Boardman was apparently otters. They had been spotted at the park a week before so we had our eyes peeled looking for the cuties. Unfortunately we didn’t see any, but that did not stop Sean and Emily filling in for the cuteness. Thankfully there weren’t too many people at the park that day, it allowed us to spread out and completely hog the bridge. Even the sun came out to give us that extra sparkle!
Enough yammering from me! See for yourself 🙂
XOXO,
Kaitlyn
There’s just something about spring that brings stories to life. The sun feels warmer, the flowers show off, and love seems to radiate through every soft breeze and golden hour glow. I recently had the honor of photographing two incredible couples—Cyrus & Chloe and Grace & Anthony—on back-to-back spring days, and it felt like living inside two fairytales. Their sessions were filled with blooms, romance, and nods to their personal love stories. So I’m bundling both into one dreamy post.
Let’s get entirely too excited together, shall we? 💐✨
Winter engagement sessions always have a special kind of magic—snowy landscapes, intimate moments, and cozy vibes that make everything feel like a winter wonderland. I had the pleasure of capturing two amazing couples this season, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking. Katie & Hunter: Snow, Stairs, and Sweet Moments We kicked off Katie […]
When you imagine a wedding, you might picture bright daylight, sparkling windows, and an airy ambiance. But what if I told you that a wedding could be just as magical in the intimate glow of a darker setting? Welcome to the unforgettable celebration of this couple’s love at The Corinthian in Sharon, Pennsylvania.
Gina & Cody’s wedding at Yankee Lake Ballroom was full of love, laughter, and joyful tears. See their emotional first look and dreamy portraits at Buhl Park!
Earlier in the day, both Jake and Veronique were getting ready in separate rooms. Although they were apart, you could sense the nervous excitement from both of them. Each one was eagerly anticipating the moment they would meet at the altar. As a result, the energy in both rooms was a beautiful mix of butterflies and joy. Because of this, the day felt even more special and full of love.
Now, if you’re scouting for the perfect backdrop for your own magical moments this year, look no further than Buhl Park. Seriously, this place has it all! From the enchanting French vibes of the Casino to the tranquil riverside stroll, and those rolling hills that seem to dance with the setting sun – it’s a photographer’s dream come true!
Capturing heartfelt, magical moments that sparkle with love and stay with you forever.
