Carillon Historical Park, Dayton, Ohio // Cara's Portraits

Cara is an adventurer. She loves art, places, and people. One of the places that she loves is Dayton, the city where she grew up. She requested that we photograph in some of her favorite places in the city, by a mural on an art school downtown and at the Carillon Historical Park.

We ventured out early on a autumn morning that turned out to be perfect. The colors of the leaves had matured into bright beauties. We also made a friend in the art school's cat. It peered curiously at us as we wandered outside. :)

One of my favorite things about photographing Cara was how our morning photographing made her feel. I was overjoyed to see this on Instagram, "Oh my! This girl! I've been admiring @corriemick and her photography work for some time. I finally scheduled my session and spent this morning with her getting my photos done. She made me feel like a million bucks and like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. I had the time of my life. She is one of the kindest, sweetest, most genuine people I have had the privilege of knowing. Corrie, thanks so much for today. I'll remember it forever." Oh my heart. Thank you, Cara! :D
