Aubrey | Maternity

I'll be honest. Aubrey is probably the most beautiful pregnant woman I've ever seen. If I didn't love her so much, I might hate her! Ok not really... but seriously. Who looks like this at 38-weeks pregnant?! She was so energetic and willing to walk all over for my crazy ideas. Not to mention having to re-schedule a million times from the obnoxious Ohio rainy/windy weather. But we had a beautiful evening at the Franklin Park Conservatory and I am now obsessed with doing photoshoots in their outdoor gardens. Who else needs maternity photos in Columbus, Ohio? :)

June | Newborn

Have you ever had a vision of something you wanted to create and then you surprise yourself and it turns out even better than you imagined?! That was this session. The colors. The light. The crazy cute sibling love. All of it was perfect. I love this sweet family. And I love being a lifestyle newborn photographer. 

NOLAN | HOSPITAL NEWBORN

You never know how a toddler is going to react to a new member of the family... but this hospital newborn session literally melted my heart. The entire time, big brother was constantly wanting to hold, kiss, snuggle, nuzzle and love on his new baby brother. I've photographed a lot of families and newborns, but I've never seen a love like that before. Something tells me these two brothers are going be the best of friends. 

Mona | CHILD

Like most two-year-olds, Mona wanted to explore! Even though the natural thing was to try and get her to pose, look at the camera, "say cheese," giggle, do cute things, etc... I was reminded that the best thing to do with a toddler, is to just let her be. Follow her. Explore with her. She doesn't need prompting to be cute. She already is :)  

Scotty | Newborn

I love talking with families when I take their newborn photos; hearing their birth stories, learning about their parenting styles and fears. Scotty's dad was so sweet and you could instantly tell how much he loved his little boy. His entire face lit up when he talked about him. He said he was never much of a "baby person," but now everything is different with his own child. It's amazing how much these little people change us. Suddenly, we can't remember life without them in it. 

Chloe | Dance

Jumping dancers are slightly different than jumping toddlers, but when I got the opportunity to take photos of this talented ballerina-dancer, I had to say YES! Isn't she amazing?! Someday in another life, I will be a dancer.

Kelsey | Maternity

We were so lucky to have our session on one of those crazy warm Ohio February days. Kelsey had the cutest pregnant bump! I also kept staring at her the entire session, feeling like I had seen her somewhere before. Then as I was editing photos I realized... it's because she looks just like Kate Middleton!

Logan | Newborn

Sometimes new baby brothers are cool and sometimes they just steal all your blankets, toys, clothes, and attention. I can only imagine how hard it would be for a toddler to adjust to such a huge change. And often times, newborn photo sessions are the worst time to come to this realization. So if older siblings are not cooperative, it's ok! And it's normal! We may not get the exact photo you had dreamed about and envisioned in your mind, but I promise we will still get a few of them together. Lifestyle newborn sessions capture the raw beauty of life, and even if it's not perfect... it's still beautiful.
