Bella and her family-Columbus, Ohio-Portrait Photography

Stefanie and I have worked together over the past year at a couple of weddings and events and have become friends.  She is the owner of Blueshoe Events and is an amazing wedding and event planner. Not only is she a great event planner, but she is a genuinely nice person as is her husband.  I am so happy to have connected with her professionally and personally.  So when she asked me to photograph her little family for their holiday card, I jumped at the chance.  We ventured out in the cold one frozen Saturday in December.  We dodged a pack of dogs (all without leashes) and forged a frozen stream to get these images. The threat of frostbite was all worth it to capture the three of them together.  Most people think a session like this would be limited to couples that are just engaged, but that is not true.  Married people are still in love and have a connection all there own. Every year is a different stage in a couple's relationship and capturing that time in photos will help them to always remember their journey together. Who knows where life will lead Stefanie, Dane and Bella.  But one thing that is certain is that they will always have these images to remember this unique season of their lives.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film, you have captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." Aaron Siskind
