Kara + Scott = Owen

This past Saturday--the first beautiful day in weeks (cue happy dance)--I was fortunate enough to spend it with the fabulous Brockman family! We spent the day at the University of Dayton. The excitement was high and our options were endless as far as beautiful backgrounds went. As we walked around the charming court yards and fields of lush grass, I found myself falling in love with this family.

Kara and Scott (Mom and Dad) explained they’d met in Xenia public schools early on in life and instantly felt a connection. They then described attending college together at UD and pointed out familiar buildings with reminiscent smiles.


Kara and I walk ahead of the group and, as she describes their wedding as if it were yesterday, I began to think the story was more like what you hear from a beloved grandparent or great aunt. You know, the kind that makes your heart turn into a rabbit’s thumping foot with understanding at just how rare a dependable love found so early in life can be. More rare is being devoted enough to see it through.

In the years to follow, they decided to add an addition to the family--cute little baby Owen, with his big blue eyes and endless supply of giggles, he compliments the family like the cherry on top of your favorite ice cream sundae.


As they gracefully interacted like a beautiful dance in front of the camera, I am drawn to believe that God led me to this place behind a camera to document love stories that words cannot sufficiently describe—only an image of the charging electric can capture the special magic shared by this special family.


I have a vision of the future where the gray-haired Brockmans are sitting, holding hands, and showing off the pictures I’ve taken for them—cherished memories which have captured the heart of their love story and proving that fairy tales and happy endings really do exist.

 Owens gentlemen applause

 We found this wonderful sanctuary garden and Owen had a great time peaking from behind this sculpture at some students who had him giggling.  

My favorite from our session! Owen looks so pleased to get kisses from his Mom and Dad!

PS. Happy Birthday Owen!
