Jane Kirk

She showed up for her consultation with red hair and adorable freckles. Meet Jane Kirk. She loves wearing dresses. And she feels best in the color purple. She has Dowling pride in her heart and most of the time can be found on the field with her guard pals. Flag or sabre in hand, this girl is adorably cute and confident. She crinkles her nose when she laughs and totally rocks purple Converse sneakers. What is NOT to love about this girl.

Jane, you have a fun and vibrant spirit and have much to offer to this big big world. Stay true to the girl that you are deep down inside and you will go far!

with love,

Kerri

Joe Fairchild

He likes to match. He sports hair that is perfectly spiked. His facial hair is just about right [not too long and not too short]. His socks are cool and you better bet his shoes are just as hip. This "Johnstonian" can often be found on his longboard, on the soccer field, on the disc golf course, or jumping his cool at Sky Zone. 

Ladies, let me introduce to you Joe Fairchild. He's a gentleman. And I am stoked we have crossed paths.

with love,

He Would Do It For Her

There ARE good guys out there still! Meet Alyson's soon to be hubby: Casey. One of those dudes you can just tell IS A GOOD GUY! 

Casey openly admitted that he hates getting his picture taken.....but he was willing to do it for her.

He admitted that he hates wearing nice collared shirts......but he was willing to do it for her.

He admitted that he WASN'T very excited about bringing Alyson's pup Lily along for the photos.....but he was willing to do it for her.

I think the fact that he has an absolutely adorable soon to be wife was enough for Casey to step up his game and love on Alyson in front of the camera for a bit [plus an added in pizza party incentive].

I loved working with this farm lovin', country pride couple. And I love this kind of love!

Session Locations: Water Works Park & Hoyt Sherman Place

They Just Fit.

You know those couples who just seem to fit? They compliment one another well in their interests and passions? They laugh at one another jokes? They are content just having the other by their side? And together, they genuinely adorable and just simply happy?

Introducing Cathy & Lloyd, the new Mr. & Mrs. These two made my heart melt. Just a couple whose love seems to naturally radiate. Not only in their love for one another, but also in their love for family, friends, sisters, sons, and grandchildren.

They had a beautiful celebration at Jester Park Lodge. The scenery was breathtaking. The weather was perfectly cool. The wedding colors and small details were perfected. And their love that warmed the entire evening was priceless.

Cathy & Lloyd, thank you for allowing me to play a part in telling your story. You are both delightful individuals and I wish you nothing but the happiest kind of happy!

with love....

100% Conner

Meet Conner.

His Mom warned me he slouches in photos.
His Mom told me he loved his kitty and wanted some photos with her.
She told me he isn't super into photos, so he will want to keep it simple.

And upon meeting Conner, I noticed a couple of things:
I liked his beard.
He had the most adorable dimples when he smiled.
He was super laid back and was totally proud of his wrist watch.
He naturally perked up when talking about wearing a suit.

So....Conner and I kept it simple. We photographed at his house, in which he was able to rock the comfort of his own front porch, his very own backyard, and more importantly, was able to involve his cute little Kitty AND his watch.

I also knew that Conner was a rockstar on the clarinet. So we combined three things he loves:
1) wearing a suite
2) playing his clarinet
3) the big windows outside his stomping grounds.... Lincoln Highschool

I love it when we can find things and go places that makes the Senior feel not only comfortable, but also confident. Conner...THANK YOU for being YOU. And for letting me photograph you just as [adorable] as you are.

with love....
Kerri
