Family Picnic at the Cleveland Museum of Art

It may have been just a little bit chilly, but that didn't stop Bess, her husband Kip, and her sisters Eunice and Esther from enjoying a beautifully styled picnic on the lush verdant grounds of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Cleveland is just now starting to bat her blossoming eyelashes, and wow does it ever show! Of course I have to mention Bess and Kip's two delightful Frenchies Ari and Little Monet. They were definitely pleased with all of the cuddling going on! 

This family has a ton to be happy about! Bess and Kip just celebrated their 7th anniversary and Eunice (in the pretty blue dress) recently graduated from college. It was so fun sitting in on this moment of time when they can all be together. 

Thanks to Bess for styling such a lovely little picnic. She's pretty much my new style icon. Those leggings and shoes are just perfection!

Leanne + Ross | Cleveland Engagement Session

Leanne and Ross' engagement session was a marriage of the best of the best of Cleveland culture; the Cleveland Museum of Art and Mahall's! Both Cleveland staples have been recently renovated in their own way and provided an amazing backdrop to a day filled with fun!

Ah, Leanne and Ross! This pair of architects has a special fondness for the gorgeous atrium at the world class Cleveland Museum of Art. We chatted quite a bit about the harmony of old and new elements - a vision we all have for the city at large. 

After our visit to the museum we made the jaunt over to the westside to spend the rest of the afternoon at Mahall's lanes. Talk about vintage perfection paired with sweet modern touches! What I didn't know is that Ross is a pretty fantastic bowler. It's not often you find a guy who bowls non-ironically, but Ross has the shoes, knows the science behind bowling ball cores and lane oil patterns, and displayed strike after strike! 

You two are so cute. We can't wait for your wedding day!
