The Ohloff Family

Family & Kids

The Ohloffs are another family dear to my heart as I got to photograph Elizabeth and Seth’s wedding last fall, perfectly complete with their adorable daughters as flower girls.

Of all the family sessions I shot last fall, I’m perhaps most proud of this one. It was my last one and the forecast was looking bad. Like, really bad. It was really cold and getting colder and rain started to move in. I happened to have a slot open up at the very last […]

Greta and I first met in prenatal yoga when we were pregnant with our sons. She gave birth exactly a month before I did and we ran into each other at the hospital during those joyous newborn days of desperately needing lactation advice and constantly worrying that our children weren’t going to grow because they […]
