Truman and his family / dayton ohio family photographer

Amelia and Kel are some of our dearest friends, so when I went back to Utah for Christmas I had to squeeze in a little time to hang out with them and their guy Truman. Oh, and don’t forget the three Boston Terriers, Elvis, Ruby and, dangit, I can’t remember the other. It was lively. But Truman is the sweetest and happiest little guy around. He gave me smiles and more smiles. I wish we were closer than 1600 miles apart so that our boys could grow up together.

One another note, indoor lifestyle shoots are some of my very favorite. At home, comfortable, familiar, and best of all, real. While it’s still a little nippy outside, now is the perfect time to schedule a session in your home, to keep those memories a little more tangible. Message me here to schedule.

Costa Rica

Last summer, the hubs and I got to sneak away for a nine day trip to Costa Rica, sans children. Oh yes. Just the two of us. It was heavenly, in large part because Costa Rica is a heavenly place. Where green grows on top of green which grows on top of green.  And on top of getting to explore this beautiful country, we river rafted, and zip-lined, and hiked and met wonderful people. The people here are kind and generous, and they truly care about these beautiful lands. There is evidence every where. I brought only my film cameras to capture this beauty.  It is one of the most picturesque places I have ever been. And we have been dreaming about that fresh pineapple and mango ever since. Until next time…

The Karrens / Dayton Family Photographer

This family is near and dear to our hearts. We were lucky to make the  move to Ohio last year with one huge benefit; our friends the Karrens would be moving here too. These are some of our besties. I stole one of the last warm evenings last fall, photographing them at the Cox Arboretum. It  makes me wish for fall again.

emily kate - Love, Marci!! The Karrens are so lucky they got to get family pictures done from you. They look awesome.

a morning at home / child photographer dayton ohio

 

Right about now, it’s 20 degrees outside and I’m nostalgic for warm summer days. I spent a morning last summer observing and photographing my kids just doing their thing. This is the heart and soul of what I do. If you are interested in an in home session, winter is the perfect time. I adore capturing people in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. Shoot me a message.

This week I was honored to have this series of photographs featured on a fabulous photography website letthekids.com. Check it out.
