Look Ma, A New Logo!

I've been working for the past few months on just the right logo to design for Philanthro Creative. After many sketches, tossed out ideas, failures, edits and procrastinations it's here! Take a look at the new first impression for Philanthro Creative. Enjoy!

For Grandpa

These beautiful cousins are amazing inside and out. I had the pleasure of taking their picture because they are putting together a special birthday present for their Grandpa. How sweet are they!

We bounced around the Medina Square taking images in some of my go-to locations for beautiful light. After their cheeks were sore from smiling & laughing so much we headed to coffee. Enjoy these glowing smiles!

'Tis the Season

As the weather continues to warm, wedding planning begins to buzz. That can only mean wedding season is almost upon us and if you are still looking at your options for photographers let me help you. I'm looking for some new brides this season and I'd be honored to help capture your special day. Take a look at my contact page and send me a message.

If you need some extra convincing take a look a these images from last summer. Enjoy!

Pretty Days

Do you ever have those days where everything is just pretty. The way the sky looks, how green the grass seems to be growing, even the brightness of the sun just seems to be just pretty. Today is one of those days and it makes me think back on some great days that I've had the pleasure of photographing.

This time last year my friend asked me to take her family pictures. It was suppose to rain that day so I was hesitant to drive out of my way to do this session but I agreed to give it a shot. The sun was glowing and although it did rain during our time outside, the raindrops looked like golden sparkles falling from the sky. It was a pretty day. Enjoy some images from that session!

Spring Forward

Although it doesn't look like spring outside, the time will spring forward this weekend and I'm looking forward to the change. No, I'm not looking forward to being an hour late to church on Sunday but I am excited to move past winter into greener pastures.

One of those pastures being engagement sessions and spring weddings. There is just something so beautiful about getting married when everything is beginning to bloom. In honor of that excitement I thought I'd post some photographs that I never got around to sharing this past year. Here are a few of my favorite moments. Enjoy!

Firsts, Flights, and Fast cars

This past weekend was full of firsts. It was my very first business trip, my first car rental experience, and my first paid on location photography gig. In the span of 14 hours I flew to Baltimore, drove to Dover, DE, drove back to Baltimore, then flew back to Cleveland. All to see some fast cars turn left. Yes, this was my first time at a NASCAR race and although I never would've thought that I would be seen at a place called the Monster Mile, I had a great time hanging out with Matt Tifft and the 89 car team. Here are a few of my favorite moments from the day. Enjoy a personal look at race day!
