The Last Celebration Together before Graduation

ana maria seniors

Writing this blog post is bittersweet. Last month, before graduation, I had my last photoshoot with my amazing 2018 senior team. As they all were ready to graduate and embark on the next journey ahead of them, we all got together for one last celebration. The photoshoot took place in downtown Medina at a cute studio space where we spent the afternoon eating lots of pizza and cotton candy! While not all the girls could make it, it was so much FUN to see these ladies and celebrate with them one last time! Thank you to all the vendors who helped in making this time so special!

Ladies, it has been a true honor spending this past year together and celebrating apart of senior year with you. I have loved getting to know all of you and feel so lucky that I was able to be your senior photographer. As you head off to college in the fall, my prayer is that you continue to chase after your dreams, grow into strong, beautiful women, and remain confident in who you are. Know that I will always be cheering you on and am so excited for you as you begin these new adventures! Here’s a few favorites from our shoot together!

Of course, we had to do some with college tees!

Love ya girls so much and Congrats to all of you!!

 Laura and Cameron Price are Married!

April 21, 2018 | Portage Country Club

Wedding season has officially begun and I can not be more excited to be back in the swing of things and capturing all the beautiful details for my couples!! This year, I had the privilege of kickstarting my wedding season with Laura Doll and Cameron Price (now the new Mr. and Mrs. Price) at the Portage Country Club in Akron. Laura and Cameron are the sweetest people you will ever meet… they go right in for the hug and make sure you feel apart of their family from day one! They met in Columbus while attending bible study and being apart of the same friend group… after a few dates, the rest was history.

Laura and Cameron are SO Loved… from their amazing bridal party to family traveling from all over, you could feel the love and joy that surrounds them. One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was the time of worship during the ceremony. It was a beautiful celebration and testimony to Christ’s faithfulness and what he has done in their lives. You could tell how much love everyone had for Laura and Cameron and for one another… I think it’s safe to say that Laura and Cameron have the best tribe of friends and family surrounding them. What is even more amazing, is that they have this community forever to share in this journey of marriage!!

I loved spending the whole day with them and joining in the celebration. I am truly honored that I could document their wedding day and make sure it was just as beautiful as they are! Thank You Laura and Cameron for a wonderful day!!

Here’s some of my favorites from their day!!

Thank you Laura and Cameron for letting me document your day! May God continue to bless your marriage. // With Love, Ana

Becca | Artistic Sunset Senior Session | Cleveland, Ohio

Becca Kowalski – Class of 2018

I am So excited to share Becca’s senior session with  you all!! Becca attends Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy and dedicates her time to reading, art, and fashion. She is not only artistically talented, but strives to be a leader in her community.

At our styling consultation, Becca said she wanted to highlight her passions for reading and fashion in an artistic location. I knew the perfect location and am so excited we were able to go there. I love how downtown Cleveland gave us so many options and variety for her photos. We started at the Cleveland Public library, where we explored rooms and floors of books and read a few pages out of Alice and Wonderland. After the library, we explored a little downtown and then headed to the Cleveland Art Museum to capture the golden light of the sunset. I have to say that Becca’s pink tulle skirt complimented the beautiful building and marble stone stair case perfectly! Becca let her style and personality shine during this shoot and I am so excited to see where God directs her over these next few years. She has some amazing goals and I know she is going to do great things!

Here are some of my favorites from Becca’s artistic sunset session in downtown Cleveland.
