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

Columbus, Ohio / Mount Vernon Ohio Senior Photographer: Julia 2022

Meeting Julia was such a wonderful experience. She is so beautiful and kind! She and her mom came from Mount Vernon to get her portraits taken near the woods of Alum Creek! I loved getting to learn more about Julia. She shared with me that she wants to have a career in the medical field and is currently working towards that goal. I am sure she will have GREAT bed side manner! She also arrive in this beautiful outfit that I thought was so classic, beautiful and flattering! Wearing a jean jacket, she was able to easily change up her look too! It was a brilliant choice!

I know Julia is going to have an incredible and valuable impact on the world. Thanks for hanging out with me Julia. I loved meeting you!!

Columbus Ohio / Westerville Ohio Family & Senior Photographer || Lanie

I have been so excited to share this preview for this session with all of you! Being new to the Sunbury/Westerville/Delaware area I was scout out some new locations! I found quite a few spots and wanted to step out of the box of ‘my normal’ and find a model to hang out with me for an informal session.

After putting out a model search request in the area, Lanie’s mom reached out to me and told me about her daughter. After hearing about Lanie, I was really looking forward to meeting her and her mom. When we met up for this session, we instantly clicked and spent so much time joking and laughing during the session. Lanie is complete sunshine and has so much confidence! I loved how that shined in these photos. I got to hear about her summer, how school is and what she did over the weekend…. it was like being with family!

Thank you Lanie and Michelle for spending an evening with me and letting me capture these images. I am so happy I got to meet you both!

If you or someone you know is interested in a session with us, please feel free to share our site with them or contact us at envphotographyy.com/contact!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || East Knox 2020: Meggan

A few years ago her sister had portraits done but now it’s Meggan’s turn! Meggan’s outfits are stunning and so Fall! I really loved how easy going and natural Meggan was in front of the camera. I enjoyed getting to hear about her plans for after high school and how much she enjoyed homecoming.

Thanks for stepping in front of my camera Meggan! I’m so happy I got to see you again!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || Centerburg 2020: Tyler

Tyler is such a great guy! We had a great time together during his session! Tyler loves the outdoors and even more specifically, he really enjoys trap shooting! Aside from that, Tyler also plays baseball. During his session, I had time to learn about how he started his love of shooting as a sport. He and his family were so welcoming! I really hope I get to see them again sometime. Until then, I hope Tyler has an INCREDIBLE senior year!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || Cousin Portraits with Grandma!

When you have many people in your family and everyone gets busy, it’s hard to get together. Every family member has different things going on but this family took the time to get some portraits done before some of them went back home.

Cousins are so fun and I love photographing them. They all love each other and their Grandma very much! Thank you to this family for taking the time to allow me to photograph you. I hope that you look back and these portraits for years to come and love remembering how every soul in these images has grown since then.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || KCCC 2020: Taylyn

You’d never know it, but when Taylyn arrived to her session, her words were ‘I’m just here.’ and she was unsure of what her senior portrait experience was going to be. About 15 minutes into the session, Taylyn was giggling and started to show her true self. After a few more minutes, I asked Taylyn to ‘freestyle’ it for a minute and that’s when I called her a liar. (In the best way!) She was not just there. She was KILLING the poses and she was starting to enjoy what I wanted her and every human being who steps in front of my camera to experience: A moment where they can be their truest self.

By the end of the session, Taylyn had been goofy, sarcastic, laughed hard and loud…. She flipped her hair and walked with confidence and sass. She didn’t water herself down or guard herself. I think what was more enjoyable than watching Taylyn be herself was watching her mother literally GLOW with a huge smile on her face because her daughter was having a good time. That was the best!

I get to hang out with Taylyn again in a few months and I can’t wait to catch up with her on life and meet her cow! Until then, we have these images to love on.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || Shawn's Six Month Portraits

I loved getting to see Shawn and his mama again! I haven’t seen them since the day of Shawn’s birth and I LOVE seeing everyone happy, healthy, and growing. I can’t believe Shawn is 6 months old now! Time flies, as we all know, but it’s just unbelievable to see him with his own little personality now.

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.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || Danville 2020: Vivian

Vivian is living her best life! She has a full schedule these days and has been traveling too! Vivian was recently apart of local theater production, The Wizard of Oz and has also been spending the summer scouting colleges! She shared with me how much she enjoys a moment instead of a place. I thought that was so wise. She further explained that she enjoys a place because of the people and moments created there instead of just the place. I felt that was SO soulful and mature.

In her downtime, she loves to do her nails and GIRL CAN DO SOME NICE NAILS! She’s so talented, sweet and was so fun to work with! I’m wishing Vivian the BEST senior year ever! <3

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 Senior Photographer || Mount Vernon 2019: Corrick

Corrick has DAYS until he is a high school graduate! I’ve known Corrick for a few years now through various family sessions I’ve gotten to do for his family. To see that he is a senior makes me feel like time has passed too quickly but I’m sure for Corrick, it needs to move faster with graduation just in reach!

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 Senior Photographer || Highland 2019: Isaiah

Isaiah really surprised me when he showed up to the studio. He immediately introduced himself and shook my hand. This typically isn’t the norm. Seniors sometimes arrive to sessions nervous and unsure of what a session entails so the parent is typically the one doing most of the talking at first. This was not the case and I was thrilled that Isaiah was so excited for his session.

Isaiah’s outfits are incredible. Believe me when I chuckled a bit at the fanny pack. Heads up: Their making a comeback! During Isaiah’s session, he, his dad, and I spoke about life, college, and sports. Isaiah is passionate about football and lifting. I really enjoyed Isaiah’s energy and personality that I think shines through in his images. I am so happy I got to meet him and his father. They are really great people!

Mount Vernon Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer || Emmett's First Birthday Portraits

The minute this sweet little boy walked through the door he was already giggling and smiling at me! He was SUCH a happy baby just laughing and in such good spirits. His personality was infectious and my face literally hurt from smiling and laughing so much after his session. He is just such a handsome little thing!

Thank you so much Keara and Brett for allowing me to enjoy the time I got to spend with you all and photograph you guys to celebrate Emmett turning one! <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Portrait Photographer || The Ladies of LIFT [The Loft]

Friends, meet Ramey, Hayden and Morgann. Three brilliant, strong, resilient boss ladies who are, in my opinion, some of the most educated and talented hair and make up artists there are in central Ohio. If you don’t know them, you should. They have a loft in the Columbus, Ohio / Polaris Mall area but also service clients for hair and make up on location.

I met Ramey through one of my clients. I was on the journey for a hair stylist who could battle my red tint to my hair when I wanted it lightened and I could really get along with. I invest a lot in my hair and it’s one of my ‘self care’ treats when I get my hair done. When I go to a stylist, I need to feel cared for. No, not babied. I just need a friend who I can talk to and get along with in addition to trusting with my hair! Ramey was that person. We instantly clicked and later on I met Morgann (and Layken!) and then Hayden. These ladies are so passionate. They truly care. They believe in honesty, inner and outer beauty and truly truly care for each person they serve. They are very much like me but in the cosmetology field.

I am thankful to have these ladies in my life. I’m even more thankful they entrusted me with these portraits. I know and love a lot of people in the beauty field yet they are the very first ones to ask me to photograph their salon/team for them. It really means a lot to me and is a check off my bucket list! I know these ladies have some really amazing additions and ventures coming to their business. They are smart and I know they have tons of room to grow even from where they are now! I’m lucky to know them <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Headshot Portraits || Becca's Styled Headshot Portraits

The most beautiful thing is when people walk unexpectedly into your life and you start to hear them tell their story and get inspired. Becca is one of those people. She walked into the studio with so much confidence, sat right down and was ready for pictures. As we started talking, I learned how she’s a young single mom. She has a really great job and is so happy raising her son. I did not realize how young she was! Not by her looks but because when I was her age, I was immature and felt a mess. This girl has so much elegance and composure! I loved getting to meet her and learn about her. She is amazing!

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Portrait Photographer || Ohio Fairs' Queen: Lora

Going on nine years in business, I have never photographed a pageant queen until now! Lora contacted me after she was recently crowned and titled Ohio Fairs’ Queen! She and her friend came to the studio and I was so happy to meet them. Lora is absolutely lovely! I am so thankful she gave me this opportunity. I truly look forward to seeing all she accomplishes in the future.

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || Mount Vernon 2019: Kassie

Kassie is looking forward to dedicating her life to educating little ones! She loved telling me about her interest in teaching small children. She also participated in FFA and Mount Vernon’s bowling team! (I wish there was a bowling team when I was in high school!!!)

Kassie is such a kind girl! We had many laughs and I hope she enjoyed her session <3

Mount Vernon, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Senior Photographer || Mount Vernon 2019: Taryn

Taryn shared with me one of the passions of her life, MUSIC! I got a sneak peek into the Mount Vernon band room and she shared some of her favorite things about her time in band and her dreams of pursuing a career in music.

Taryn also brought some sentimental items to include her late grandmother in her senior portraits. It was a very sobering and emotional moment for all of us at the session to photograph her childhood images of her grandmother and also a scarf that her grandma passed to her. It was such a beautiful honor to photograph something so special.
