This past week, I had the privilege of collaborating with Think! Media documenting specific stories from the community for Playhouse Square’s Annual Report to the Community. I’m excited to share some favorite photographs from the week with you here soon. We were everywhere — from the rooftop overlooking downtown to the overwhelming interiors of the theatres. I’ll keep you updated as this project is completed!

We’re taking these photographs in stages while I’m in town. The lighting will be lovely, inspiration will come and we’ll go venture out wherever we can. This is the first part of our “session” together, I’m sure : )
Contact me for your own session with me in lovely light.

A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to weep and a time to laugh.
…sometimes, these all occur on the same day. taking every moment as it comes in all its richness, wealth, flavor, horror and joy.

My roommate and dear friend, Seanne, settling in to our new home together.
Come have a cup of tea or a meal with us. We have plenty of porch space.

I have the honor of nannying these little girls throughout the week. They make me wish I had fiery red hair.

I cannot express how thrilled and honored I am to have my photographs of Inlet Dance Theatre featured on their website. This past June, we photographed for 3 days in multiple locations and captured some stunning images together. I’ll be continually releasing photographs in different ways. An exhibition of these photographs will be a part of our collaborative release with the Nehemiah Mission Nov 12-13 at the Breen Arts Center in Cleveland, Ohio. More details on this soon!
As for now, go have a look at Inlet’s new fabulous updated website, and get excited about the performances and events coming up! This weekend: Ingenuity Festival w/ Dancing Wheels – “Bridging”

What a pleasure it was being a part of this incredible wedding! Surrounded by mountains, farmland and family, the entire day flowed so effortlessly. The bride and groom are both from Baltimore and decided to host their wedding at the family farm. Old photographs lined the walls inside the house of other weddings and festivities held their years before. It felt like home immediately, and how could I complain when I fresh glass of mint sweet tea was handed to me when I walked in the door? Enjoy viewing a few favorites of mine.
