Warm sunset glow. The perfume of an explosion of the garden at Ault Park. A momma wearing a flowing dress. A dad with the coolest striped socks. One daughter dancing through the last summer night before kindergarten. We could not have asked for a more beautiful night to spend taking family photos with the Wietmarschen family!

I was blessed enough to meet Mary through a local photographer group in the Cincinnati area. Last year, Mary took fabulous anniversary photos of me and Jon! Earlier this year, we met up again, along with a number of other photographers, to discuss glowy and creamy light and swap dreamy headshots of each other! And this summer, I had the opportunity to hang out with Mary and the fam for an evening at Ault Park to take their family photos!

For us photographers, sometimes we struggle getting ourselves in from behind the camera to have a bit of fun for ourselves! I am so thankful when I have the opportunity to take legacy photos for another photographer. Mary, I am so lucky to have met you through this photography community we get to be a part of! You have such a beautifully full heart and you and Andy have created a beautiful family! I hope Lucia had fun at her first day of school (and that there were not too many tears!)! Thank you for inviting me to take you family photos; I hope you cherish them for years to come!
