Austin Joshua is 2

Little AJ is 2 years old already! i cannot believe that he’s this big, i feel like i was just photographing his newborn session! But he’s a handsome little devil and runs around like any 2 year old i’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing! Here’s some of my FAVES from the time spend with AJ and his parents on one friday afternoon. Enjoy!











i tried a new shot here courtesy of my friend Chris over at LaBrisa Photography.. definitely gotta keep trying this:

Anonymous - Wow! What a handsome toddler and he is so lucky to have a great photographer!

Kristin+Aaron: I do 6.26.10

Our friends (and neighbors, kinda) Kristin and Aaron got married on June 26 at Station 67 in Columbus. I was a little nervous about possible rain showers as the weatherman that morning had told me we might get showers right when I was thinking we’d be outside. But luckily, no rain, and moreover, we had a BEAUTIFUL day! We had so much fun around this awesome site.. and Kristin and Aaron were such troopers, traipsing around outside with us. Here are some of my faves for the day. My hot boyfriend, JJ, was a groomsman but i tried to refrain from posting too many pics of him. lol









great capture by Mandy:

loooooooove this pic of Aaron and the guys.. even though Kristin says it makes her laugh bc Aaron is soo not the serious type…



another of my favorites of the guys:
the awesome and delish cake by Short North Piece of Cake:

love this shot of the girls.. i’m kind of obsessed with pictures of people without the heads in it..
Absolutely one of my favorites!! Love that the whole wedding party gave me attitude when i asked for it…and what a great looking wedding party! hands down one of my faves of the day:

sweet father daughter moment…
and an awesome mother/son moment.. love the laughter

since Aaron is an OSU alum and Kristin got her Master’s there as well, there were plenty of OSU alum at the wedding as well as a few groomsmen.. so this was for them…
me and my awesome assistant (and sister) Mandy with the newlyweds:
and finally me and JJ with our friends, The Middlesworths! Congrats you two, we love you!
had to end with this one, and it shows off Station 67 at night..

My beautiful nieces.. Allie, Morgan, and Raegan

If you have ever looked at my blog before, it’s no surprise to you that i have 3 of the most beautiful nieces in the world (i’m not biased at all, lol) And they’re all growing up so fast! Morgan is going to be three in just a couple weeks, Raegan is 15 months now, and Allie is the sweetest 16 year old 😉 We had so much fun this week running around outside during their photoshoot.. They arent babies anymore which makes our photoshoots a little more tricky. But the results are always worth it.. Enjoy my girls.. xoJB


One of my favorites!:



oh look at that sweet smile:
i’m telling you, shes gorgeous!
and just as pretty in black and white:
love love love it:







are you kidding me with this outfit?! My sis in law always has the girls in the CUTEST outfits!:


another of my absolute faves! AH!

Jenn&Drew.. a beachy wedding

When Drew told me he was getting married, i cried. We’ve been friends for over a decade, easy, closer to 14 years probably.. He’s a special person in my life and i couldnt have been happier to spend the most special day in his life with him and his beautiful bride, Jennifer.. Just looking at them makes me smile (and cry as the case may be).. Their wedding couldnt have been more perfect with the sun coming out just as Jenn made her way down the ‘aisle’ with her daddy. The following are just a few of my favorite images… I took so many beautiful pics of them, it was hard not to on the beautiful beach of Destin, FL…let me know what you think. xoJB
who doesnt love a good detail shot:


my absolute fave! maybe enhanced just a little bit…



JJ, my totally awesome boyfriend and makeshift assistant when i need him, caught these next 4 beautiful images and they are among my favorites!! way to go babe!




i’m such a sucker for kissy pics…

everyone wanted to make sure i took some pics of the bride and groom with the sunset, so luckily, i got a couple.. here’s just one of them:
me and andrew.. or as i lovingly call him, KFD.. i hope we’re friends for another few decades at least.. congrats again buddy.. i love you both so much.
and lastly, i had to include a pic of me and my love… he’s such a trooper dealing w me and all my photo taking.. guess he loves me… xo
thanks to my friend helen for taking this pretty pic of me and J…

Helen - Love the pics JB. You're a talented photographer and it was such an honor to have you there. I think Drew put it best: you're his favorite friend.

Thank you for these. Brought tears to my eyes with capturing the magic of the day.
