For most photographers, such as myself, it is rare to find pictures of us because we are always so busy taking pictures of our incredible clients, but for this shoot, it was all about capturing the essence of one of my lovely friends, and fellow photographer, Carlie Freeman. Just from this picture (above), you can see how absolutely STUNNING she is!

As the seasons change and the weather warms up, we are right back on track for prime photography season. Spring time is one of my favorite times of the year because everyone has such excitement and energy for the coming summer. Carlie had exactly the energy I love in my subjects!

As you can tell, Carlie is quite the goofy gal, and these pictures are some of my favorites simply because they show off her bubbly personality so well. She makes every moment with her a blast, which is a great quality in a client and in a photographer. We were messing around quite a bit, which hopefully entertained some YSU students wandering around the Butler Institute of American Art. The two of us are a funny pair.

Just a girl with her camera and one of the  brighteset smiles you’ll ever see!

This picture is my #1 favorite. Candid shots are the best, and in this picture, Carlie genuinely is laughing at something silly I said. Not everyone laughs so beautifully (I know I don’t), but this girl has got it down. 

I am SO happy to be working with this sweet human being for weddings this year! We are going to have an absolute blast. Check out her work on Instagram (@carlie__elizabeth)!!
