Stearns Violins

October 2008

Master Craftsman, Rodger Stearns and his lovely wife Eunice, allowed me into the magic of string instrument restoration, while photographing them with their grandchildren. Their two grandchildren are no stranger to my lens. They are so fortunate to have so many experiences that will enhance their lives. See the behind the scenes of what the world knows as one of the best violin restorers. Want to know more? Visit them online or arrange to visit them in Hartville!

Mapleside Fall Fest

October 2008


Pumpkins, corn field mazes - finding treasures and friends! That's a great way to start the autumn season. Where a better place too, then Mapleside in Brunswick!

UK & US Ralph Families

September 2008

It's not often you get to capture generations of families when those families span the Atlantic Ocean! I was privileged to photograph The Ralph's when one Akron families' mother, father and sister visited this fall from England. What made it even more special was the addition of the newest child, meeting her British grandparents for the first time.

Tyler Family

May 2008 ~ Akron, OH



A family that bonds is strong. These photographs of the Tyler family show that. Jason, Becca and their two sons Liam & Declan played & bonded while I captured every special moment. They represent why I love doing what I do. Being able to freeze time and love is what my photography is all about.

Laura & James

May 2008 ~ Akron, OH



There is nothing more special than capturing a mommy-to-be. To achieve this, I took Laura to one of my favorite places in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Everett Road Bridge. It was fun getting looks from horse mounted passer byers, as Laura showed her belly to the camera. She was a great sport!



After our shoot, we me up with her husband, James and their son, Benjamin. James' heritage from England shined thru to their son, as they played "Pooh Sticks" on this bridge.
