Let's kick off 2018 with a bright and shiny, photo shoot, inspired by some of our new favorite unicorns: The Crystal Collection and this magical iridescent material. This photo shoot was the precursor to an actual birthday party at the Frock to celebrate our friend Crystal, who I can only describe as a magical. She was such an inspiration and pillar of support for me in 2017, and she had the good sense to have a birthday in January, which is a great time to hit the refresh button. This tropical escapist "jungalow" vibe is just a taste of what we hope to put out into the event world in the coming years. Here's to more color, playfulness, and unicorn poop (sour watermelon candies).

Take a look at the lady who's bringing a knitting tour to the City of Hamilton. Sarah's monthly classes allows beginners, dabblers and pros of the knitting community to gather together to grow their craft. She offering education and tips of the trade to lovely lost form of art.

They walked in and Clay and I immediately broke into tears and Morgan went into a light shock. It was adorable ... And now, I will let the photos do the talking. Congratulations Clay and Morgan. This was such a beautiful moment!

I am so terribly blessed, beyond belief, with wonderful clients and wonderful families. Karissa and Zack invited me to be their wedding photographer and invited me right in to their circle of friends and families. Every moment of this wedding was filled with laughter, happy tears and sweet moments.

Oh, these two. So precious on the inside and out. I was able to walk around Eden Park and give any ideas or direction to these two. They made their entire session a fun experience for themselves and myself. This session was truly a treat! Congrats Stephanie and Kyle !

These girls made me laugh until my belly hurt. They were the cutest combination of sweet and spunky. They made our play session an true adventure! I'll let the photos speak for themselves ...

The snarls and weighted breathing of Pearl and Chloe (the porky pug puppies ), and Heidi's proud dog-mom giggles were the soundtrack to this photo session. It. Was. Amazing. Pearl and Chloe acted as if they were inconvenienced by my presence but were clearly loving having their photos taken. Typical Pugs.

Molli and Chris are MARRIED! Yay! They had a gorgeous fall wedding weekend n the heart of Gatlingburg Tennessee. The colors were rich and golden, the weather was flawless and their ceremony was intimate and beautiful. I've known Molli since I was a child and I was honored to be her wedding photographer. Congrats you two!

The three little siblings have such a silly dynamic with each other, and Mom and Dad just watched from the side  shaking their heads. It was hilarious to watch and so entertaining to photograph. The joy is just bursting from these images. This was a wonderful photo session! Also ... can I just mention how proud Lincoln (the Puppy-Father) is of his humans?! So. Amazing.

Or at least, that's the story I am going to paint for you with the help of Cincinnati's best vendors.

Another perfect Play Session in the books, and I just adore this little family of four! Play Sessions have been my favorite way to capture the little spirit of a child!

This was a fun one for Native Iris! It's not every day I can look out from where I'm working and see the cute little faces of my soon-be-but-already-feels-like-family. But this wedding was the exception. I got to spend the day photographing this gorgeous wedding at Crago Farms while frequently bumping in to some of my favorite people on earth.
