Before I am a photographer, I am a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a friend. Maybe that's why I cry during every father daughter dance. I laugh at every toast. I well up when an Officiant pronounces a couple husband and wife. I buzz with joy chasing children around the playground. I feel awe when a newborn's tiny hand clutches my pinky finger. I draw from the emotions I have experienced through my own life's most precious moments to know when and how to capture those of others, and I usually can't help feeling overwhelmed myself! The emotional rush I feel when I'm behind the camera is what makes me love what I do. The joy I bring others through photography is what makes me do what I love.

Baby Scarlet :: 3 months old!





Getting to photograph Carrie & Jay's wedding in Cleveland last week also meant I got to spend time with my family. And of course, I broke out the camera to capture my sweet niece, Scarlet, at 3 months. I can't believe how much she has grown since I saw her in April!

I think this is my absolute favorite picture from this whole year. Of course, I could be biased by the subject matter... but it really just brought tears to my eyes when I first saw it when I started processing the pictures. I just love how my dad is snuggling with his granddaughter.







I love this picture too... how sweet is my brother looking down on his sleeping baby girl?









Baby Scarlet and her Gramma (and my mom!)











Sweet sleeping Scarlet...




Scarlet and Grace... all smiles!

Way to capture the moment with your Dad and Scarlet! I can just feel the emotions that your dad must have been feeling at that point in time.

The one with her father looking over the couch is beautiful as well!
