Lifestyle Newborn Photos with Outdoor Styled Baby portraits and Family Dogs {Grandview, OH}

Newborn

This was the first session I did outdoor styled newborn portraits and I have been perfecting the idea ever since.

They make for timeless […]

Backyard Session with Family of Seven {Upper Arlington, OH}

Not every couples photo session needs to be an engagement session. These two have been married for a few years and love to document their young married life with their young dog every Fall season. I find this super romantic. They are going to be so grateful to have their young life together documented so […]

Dressed Up Family Photos at an Industrial Studio

Family

I’ve always done outdoor sunset sessions for this gorgeous family of 7 but this year they wanted to try something different with dressier clothes and an industrial studio vibe. Plus we weren’t able to get a session in during the warmer days of October and the November rainy days had arrived. So a studio session […]
