Mckayla + Jordan

October 2, 2021 Mckayla and Jordan, where do I begin. These two have been in my life for awhile. It started with a mini-session boudoir deal that I ran that Mckayla signed up for. Just by chance she ended up modeling for me in a studio, and then after that I was able to see her in front of my lens at least twice a year following that. Mckayla is a super talented hair stylist, so she interacts…

June 30, 2018. Meagan and Zach got married at the Wildwood Manor House in Toledo, Ohio. This place was rich in history and absolutely stunning to walk through. We took advantage of the scenery and used the manor as much as possible for portraits and details.

The day was a hot one, but the party and the couple powered through the heat. This wedding was an absolute blast. Here are [just a few, lol]…
