Spending time with the Stacks and celebrating their newest miracle was such a blessing! I had a wonderful time playing with the littles, chatting with the extended family and talking about all things parenthood, Disney and distance running. The love they all share is undeniable and I’m so thankful they let me crash their Sunday morning, camera and all. Meet the youngest baby Stack…
I met this dear family when Ava was just a few days old…. now she’s a big sister and hanging out with them on a Saturday morning felt like spending time with old friends. Thankful I got to capture some early precious moments with their newest baby girl ~ snuggles with mom, books with big sis and even dad changing one of the likely few diapers. 🙂 Here are some favorites from their session!
Oh em gee! This is the type of session dreams are made of. Baby Grace came to me through a mutual friend and I was ecstatic to work with this sweet family! They were warm & welcoming, the house was a gorgeous backdrop with neutral colors and dreamy natural light, baby Grace was the perfect balance of sleepy & awake (my favorite for lifestyle sessions) while big brother, although a tad camera shy, gave me some perfect smiles & expressions. And did I mention how cute they are?! Momma and I had fun hanging out and chatting about all things baby, decorating and our love for Cuddle+Kind dolls. Grace was a few weeks old and was awake for a while, but fell asleep at the perfect moment and we were able to end with a wrapped shot. I’m excited to see them again for some milestone sessions and hope we can get outside for some family photos as this crazy Ohio winter turns to spring!
Baby T came to us ready for his first birthday session, full of smiles & energy! We started with some portraits, then got down to business with his tiered cake, made with love by Our CupCakery. He wasn’t sure about the cake – both mom & dad had to jump in to encourage him at one point – but we still captured some fun moments and lots of laughter. Enjoy some favorites from our session!
Although we got together just after Christmas (hence their adorable cream colored stockings!) I am finally getting around to sharing this cute little family’s session. Baby Ellie started out wide awake and after some coaxing, was finally fast asleep. We got some pictures of her alone for her stylized portion, then moved onto the cuddly family shots in their lifestyle portion. It is such a joy & honor to document a new family interacting with each other, often in their first home… snuggling their first baby. Their hearts from this day on, will continue to grow and expand with love and life will never be the same. <3
Words cannot express how happy I am for this adorable growing family! Leah and I have been friends for as long as I can remember and we were lucky enough to photograph her & Jason’s wedding one gorgeous fall evening a few years ago. I held my breath and hoped & prayed a little one would come along soon…. and I got my wish! Well, their wish, but mine too! 🙂
Leah & Jason’s maternity session was this past fall and I saved some favorites to blog when their little girl arrived. More recently, I got to spend the morning with them… while snuggling baby Quinn! They are going to be amazing parents and I can’t wait to watch them continue to grow in love!
Although I’ve only met this momma a few times, I felt like family in their cozy home, cuddling their newest family member on a brisk winter morning. The nursery was grey & green with a cactus theme and adorable personal touches. The entire family, GoldenDoodle including, was game for a lifestyle portion prior to baby Leo’s sleepy, stylized session. Leo slept and slept until the last few minutes, making for a perfect way to end his session as we caught a peek of his little eyes. I hope they are in love with their gallery as much as they are in love with their new little guy! Here are some favorites…
Being Christmas Eve Eve, this will likely be our last post for a few days, so we wanted to close out the holiday season with one of our cutest little clients! Baby Will couldn’t be any more adorable and his sitter session was full of smiles, some ‘classic’ shots and of course, some holiday cheer. We know his family will enjoy celebrating Will’s first Christmas this year and sharing all his smiles with loved ones. Merry Christmas to the Kaspers and to all our amazing clients!!
We were lucky enough to do two sessions with this little guy and his fun family! First they came to our (temporary) in-home space to get some sleepy, cozy baby shots. Along with some cuddles & a few cat naps, we captured this perfectly handsome baby boy in all his cuteness. Then a couple weeks later, we met up again, this time in their home, and got to see the gorgeous nursery, some festive Christmas decorations and the rest of the sibling crew! We are always thankful that growing families share these early moments with us. Check out some of our favorites of “baby W!”
When you work with “clients” long enough… they start to feel more like friends. This gorgeous family has been coming to us for a few years now and they get cuter & sweeter every time I see them! We laughed, played outside, read books, chatted it up and had a fun morning just hanging out at their home. I know they value these fleeting moments… sisters playing patty-cake and baby’s squeals of joy as she swings for the first time… and now they have images to cherish the memories forever. Here are some favorites!
