Lyndsie + Nick | Museum Engagement Session | Butler Institute of American Art | Youngstown, Ohio

Lyndsie and Nick walked into their engagement session like they were walking the red carpet. Talk about a WOW outfit combo! I love a good all black moment, but Lyndsie’s decision to pair Nick’s monochrome attire with a sequin emerald green cocktail dress was just perfection. This chick had the audacity to look this good at her sesh, and I am here for it!!!…

Caylee + Jarrett | Engagement | Downtown Youngstown, Ohio

My journey with Caylee and Jarrett began in a hair salon. Caylee was sitting across the room from me, getting her hair done and talking about being newly engaged. Insert me looking like a complete crazy person with red and orange hair color all over my head (and probably my face if we’re being honest) and my hair stylist, Bianca (Roots Salon and Wellness Spa), hyping me up to Caylee. Now she could’ve ran for the hills but instead I got an email from her a couple of weeks later and we vibed instantly! Meeting her and Jarrett, having conversation and just hanging with them is easy. I knew photographing them would be fun!…

Meaghan and Jon's Fall Engagement Session at Lake Newport Wetlands in Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio

It’s true that I shortened my name to Mae partially in hopes that people would spell it correctly. No one could ever spell my name right for as long as I can remember. When I met Meaghan, I thought to myself, FINALLY! Someone who knows how I feel! Needless to say, I liked her right away because of that, but then got to know her and Jon at their engagement session and seriously felt like I was hanging out with old friends. They’re dog lovers like me and brought along their sweet basset hound puppy, Nellie. I was in complete heaven! They also took me to a location in Mill Creek Park near Lake Newport in Youngstown, Ohio that I’ve never before, and I’m completely over the moon in love with this area….
