I first met Allison when she signed up for a coaching session with me.  That was a year and a half ago, and what started out as a simple coaching session has turned into a wonderful friendship!  Allison is a talented photographer has become my right hand gal on wedding days, assisting me and making sure wedding days go seamlessly.  So when she told me back in spring that she wanted to surprise her mom with the gift of a fall family session for Mother’s Day, I was so excited at the chance to meet her awesome family!  We met in downtown East Liverpool, a town full of incredible history and beautiful buildings.  Allison’s dad Tim is quite the history buff, so it was really cool to have an inside scoop on all the history of the area!  Linda is just about the sweetest person I’ve ever met, you can tell how much she loves her family and spending time with them.  After visiting some spots around the downtown area, we all headed over to a beautiful park and brought along Tim and Linda’s dog Max, and Allison and Jason’s pup Bogart.  Because fur babies are family too!

Allison and Jason, it is always a blast getting to see you two, and I’m so glad I got the chance to meet you Tim and Linda!  What a fun evening, and I just have to tell you all that Linda invited me back to their house for homemade chicken noodle soup and cherry pie – how sweet is that!  And that’s just the family that they are, brimming with hospitality and generosity.  Tim, Linda, Allison, and Jason – thank you all for such a wonderful evening!  Enjoy some of my favorites from our time together, and I say we do it again :)

Yep.  They are the cutest.

Max!!

Sweet Bogart, so happy to be with his humans!

Linda and Tim, this is one of my favorites of you two!

And of course we had to snap some headshots for Allison’s new website!  Love how these came out Allison!
