The light and scenery is so exquisite this time of year.  Soft and light and lovely.  We’re fortunate to have a mild Winter – not too cold for tea parties with friends!

But these two lovely ladies were different.  Both daughters of respected and prominent Columbus area photographers Gwen Z Photography and Elizabeth Esthi Photography, these girls were out to have fun and play and even pose!

I don’t think a midday full sun shoot could get any more fantastic than this – they were such a treat and it was a pleasure to shoot alongside professionals that day.

We used two locations that day: a farm (with beautiful rustic old barn) and a field of naturally growing wildflowers.  My vision for the shoot was pure Summer joy:  all the things that make Summer in Ohio a magical time full of warm magical memories.
