Urban sessions are just so COOL. Yes, I said it: I grew up in the '90s, so everything is "cool". 😆


I loved working with Arielle for this urban portrait session. I had just moved to Dayton a few months before, and I wanted to go explore downtown as a portrait location. We decided to meet up at the Dayton Library, and go from there.

When driving to the location, I went right past that building above. With the morning sun reflecting off it so dramatically, I knew we HAD to walk over there for pictures. It helped us know where to start. I love the way those images turned out.


Arielle is such a dear soul, and it was fun chatting with her while we walked around a bit. She also had an AMAZING wardrobe and such a unique sense of style.

For the final set, we went into a residential parking lot near the library because I loved these buildings with their vibrant colors. So happy with this set. Arielle is such a beauty.

So glad we made this session happen. Dayton did not disappoint!


Let me know if you are interested in a more urban setting for your portrait session!
