The rustic charm of Columbiana, Ohio served as a picturesque backdrop for a Christmas family photoshoot.

After having to reschedule a couple of times, we ended up with the perfect day for this fun-filled family shoot in Columbiana, Ohio.

How do I get that creamy, blurry background in my photos? I’ll break it down for you here.

This sunny winter lifestyle product shoot was shot on a gorgeous winter day in Northeast Ohio. The sun and the snow combined made for this dreamy light and these beautiful winter colors.

For weeks leading up to Katie’s senior portrait shoot, it had been cold, rainy and gray, which is the norm for November in Northeast Ohio. The day of the shoot, however, was a perfect fall day!. If you know anything about November in Ohio, you’ll know what a treat this was! We had an unseasonably warm 65 degree sunny day, and there were still colorful leaves on most of the trees. This all made for perfect, golden light.
