Columbus, Ohio / Westerville, Ohio Wedding + Engagement Photographer || Le Reve Styled Shoot

Cringy image of me on my wedding day in 2010 and now I wish I would have had Le Reve Chateau!

I was so blessed to be invited to a bridal styled shoot by Hanna’s team at Le Reve Make Up & Hair to work with some amazing artists in our industry to bring to life this really beautiful vision!

Le Reve’s Chateau space is perfect for brides who need a space to get ready on their wedding day! The space is so spacious, bright, and really makes you feel good! I truly wish I would have had an option like this on my wedding day instead of my sitting on the floor in a youth group room at the church we got married at! For this styled shoot we used Le Reve’s Chateau located in Westerville, Ohio which also has amazing access to the pretty streets of Westerville that we used as well!

A few years ago, Hanna spoke about this space she wanted to create. I remember her speaking about how much she wanted to provide to not only her clients, but her team as well! She wanted a stunning place for people to feel good getting ready in! It fills my heart so full of joy to see her achieving all she sets her mind to!

Creatives will often put these shoots together by collaborating with each other to bring to life a certain vision. The flowers, hair, make up, dresses, venue, along with my photographs are all dreamed up and created by talented women in the Columbus area. It’s an honor to have gotten to photograph all the beautiful and hard work of the creatives mentioned below. I look forward to seeing their work more in the future!

Creatives who made this happen:
Host: Sophia & Hanna with Le Rêve Makeup & Hair
Venue: Le Rêve Chateau
Makeup & Hair: Le Rêve Makeup & Hair // Sheree @shereemua & Lindsay @hairbylindsaycole
Dresses: Gilded Social
Florals: Blooms By Jenna
Models: Natalie, Shelby, & Kasey

Columbus Ohio / Delaware Ohio Family Photographer || Karlie - Three Months

I photographed this session of Miss Karlie a while ago but I thought I share it with you all (Because it’s too cute not too!) We simply wanted some shots that showed off this short time of being only three months old. So this in-home session consisted of baby, a cozy bed, a little head band and a cute little blanket. It was just the most beautiful, peaceful session because she was enjoying looking around, checking out the light, the sound of my camera and all of us talking to her!

These type of in-home sessions are great for babies and parents! It’s in the comfort of your home, the baby didn’t have to be packed up for a car ride with all of ‘the gear’, and the baby feels comfortable being in a space that have grown used to!

If you’d like a session like this one, please feel free to contact us at envphotographyy.com/contact to book your session.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || RC + Family

Little RC was having a BLAST at his session! I always love watching little ones explore new areas they may not have been to in a while. RC loved finding sticks, leaves and berries. He also loved spending time with his family. He loves his mama, Becca, like no other. I think, as a mother, these images embody some of the most special times that a little one can experience in their first years. I loved capturing the laughs, cuddles, and walks that happened during this session.

Thank you so much to this family for letting me capture these moments. I loved documenting this time in your life.

The third and youngest of the Trapp ladies have stepped in front of my camera. It’s not Kimberly’s turn to celebrate her senior year. She has worked tirelessly and committed tons of her time to soccer. I really loved getting to know her and listen to all the things she’s looking forward to in the coming year and beyond.

I doesn’t seem like three years since Stephen and Becky’s wedding day…. I recently got to do a session with them and I was so happy to hear how the last few years have treated them.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || Centerburg 2019: Andrea

One of my favorite things about senior photography is getting to understand each senior, then to cater the photography around the senior to properly reflect them and a person. Andrea wasn’t super excited about getting her senior portraits done, at first. But surely, making jokes about myself had her cracking smiles and enjoying her session. Sorry Andrea, you lost but in the best way possible <3 I loved getting to meet Andrea and her family, learning about what she is looking forward to in her future as she soon graduates and starts her new journey in college!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Newborn Photographer || Kaitlyn

“Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gizmos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.”
– Peter Adams

In this day and age, everyone has a camera in reach. We all know that. What isn’t in reach is the creativity, drive, stamina, and patience that come with the job. (And that’s just the short list!) Just like not everyone could be a nurse, not everyone can be a professional portrait photographer. I admit, my job gets hard. Brides and babies alike cry when they are upset and it’s you’re your job to do everything in your power to make it better. Newborn photography is like hot yoga but in that 85 degree room you’re holding a new soul and a $8000 piece of equipment. It’s not that I just hold a camera, but that I keep everyone feeling good and make them look their best in a creative way.

Kaitlyn is apart of a story that highlights one of the most raw and significant parts of my career that will never leave my mind. Kaitlyn is little sister to Harper. Harper is not just a toddler, but a twin. I was at the hospital on the day of her birth. I was bringing food to a pregnant friend of mine and this family asked me to photograph the urgent event at hand: Harper and her twin, Julie born at 23 weeks. Their chance of survival was a very touchy percentage. Julie passed in the arms of her mother and I photographed her fighting for every second of her life. Silently, I felt so much weight of what I had photographed on their birthdays. It’s something I did not share or spoke with many about because it was such a private and intimate moment where I saw their entire family at their most vulnerable. It may have been the most defining moment that held the meaning of my entire career.

Harper spent months in the NICU and is a very happy and loving little girl. Kaitlyn has now joined their clan. Kaitlyn is the rainbow baby that follows her angel sister, Julie. I wanted to represent her as Spring (since that is her birth season!) because she is new, a fresh growth that brings a new chapter. Also, like her mom requested, putting rainbow tones in things. Kaitlyn was a wonderful baby! You’ll see she gave me a smile and loved clinging to her sister, Harper’s, octopus lovey that is regularly used for preemies who find comfort in holding their cords! (Fun fact!) I know her family is going to enjoy her and I am so happy for their new addition.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Newborn Photographer || Harper Mae

Meet Harper! She was the SWEETEST little soul! She was awake for a few minutes that made for some wonderful shots but then she went to sleep and we had an AMAZING session! Her mama asked for mostly white/cream tones and I was REALLY happy with all the little items I got to dress Harper in!

Cynthia is such a sweet, kind person! Did you know this girl GOLFS?! I loved learning that about her and her plans for after school. I think that she is going to be such a positive force, wherever she goes!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Maternity + Newborn Photographer || Courtney + Greg

I’ve been eager for these two to have babies since their engagement session! Years ago, I started documenting their journey and it’s all lead to here. I can’t believe soon, their son will be born! We know he’ll have blue eyes for DAYYYS!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || The Galco Family

Guess who’s back?! The Galco family! It’s been a while since their wedding but we made some time to update their family portraits. They are such a precious family. Their little one was LOVING posing for the camera and being all silly. I’m so happy the sun was shining for this session. We had rescheduled several times because EVERY time we set a date last year, there was a severe storm. But it finally happened and I think these really showcase their love for each other.

Mount Vernon Ohio / Columbus Ohio Birth + Newborn Photographer || St. Anns: Scarlett

I’ve known Scarlett’s mama for quite a while. Her mom was one of my seniors. I had the privilege of photographing her senior portraits back in my beginning days and photographing more of her and her family’s special moments in their life time. I also go to photograph Courtney’s first pregnancy with her son, Barrett.

Scarlett’s mom messaged me and told me that she was expecting again! This time it was a girl and I was SO beyond thrilled for her. Scarlett’s brother, Barrett, passed away as an infant and it was an absolute devastating time for this family and many of us that know and love them. This joyous news of Scarlett being on the way was everything I wanted for Scarlett’s mom and dad!

I got to visit them today and do some Fresh 48 images for their family and Scarlett to cherish forever! In these image, Scarlett is only hours old and the spitting image of her brother! Her mama also made sure she was dressed in the cutest little onsie that you’ll have to get a good read of at the very end. Scarlett is like a real life baby doll. She is absolute perfection! I know her parents are going to have so much fun with her in these coming days as she grows and shows her personality.

To Scarlett’s mom and dad and their families, I am so honored to get to photograph and meet her. (I also got to do a little shopping for her today too! — It’s a girl, like I WASNT going to go shopping for her, no way I was going to miss the chance at that…. ha!) I loved getting to meet this little one and photograph her first moments of life. Brand new, undeniably loved, and a very amazing future to look forward too!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Newborn Photographer || Mister Jonathan

This little guy has been LONG awaited by his parents and their family! He has been named after his grandpas! (I love that!)

Many of little Jonathan’s images featured sentimental items. A hat and shoes from his grandpas, blankets from family members and a oneie that holds a quote that his parents fully believe, Jonathan was ‘worth the wait’!

I’ve known this couple since photographing their wedding years ago and this little miracle is truly a dream come true! <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || The McIntire Family

I LOVED getting to meet the McIntire family for the first time! What sweet and wonderful people! They had a family session with a cake smash session added on to celebrate their son’s first birthday. We were blessed with a beautiful day to do outdoors family photos and headed back to the studio to do the cake smash, dino style!

I typically don’t allow my children to be at sessions because I want my focus to be completely and totally on my clients. They deserve that. But when we got to the studio, their oldest son wanted to play so my son, Leo, and their son became quick friends while mom, little brother and I were in the studio for the cake smash. We ended the session with the boys begging for more play time together. It ended up being a very fun time for everyone and I am so blessed to have met this family!
