The Magic Lives In Your Everyday Places

When families ask me where we should shoot their session, I always turn the question back to them: "Where does your family come alive? Where do you naturally gravitate for fun and connection?"

More often than not, it's not a studio or scenic overlook – it's the neighborhood park where weekend mornings unfold, the backyard where sidewalk chalk masterpieces come to life, or that special trail where little legs love to explore and discover. These familiar places throughout Columbus and New Albany hold a different kind of magic because they're woven into your family's story.

Take Rowan's recent milestone session at one of New Albany's neighborhood playground. This wasn't just a pretty backdrop – this was where countless Saturday adventures had unfolded. The swings that always seem to lift spirits, the grassy areas where stories are told, and the wooden creek-side bridge where chasing bubbles becomes the best game. When we photograph in places that already hold meaning, the emotions captured are deeper, more authentic, more you.
