Milestone Sessions

Mini Sessions

Time goes by so quickly and little ones grow up so fast, especially in their first year.  Don’t put it off until “later”–capture all those sweet milestones before they are gone! The Milestone Sessions are a half-session, perfect for documenting all of your baby’s ages and stages with no fuss. These sessions are perfect for […]

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. There is just something so pure and special when surrounding a baby with plants and flowers, snuggled in a straw basket with the glow of natural light rather than studio lights. They make for timeless […]

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

Family

This Mama of 5 wanted family photos but was overwhelmed with the idea of getting everyone dressed up and packed up to a pretty outdoor location. While I do really love a coordinating wardrobe with romantic flowy dresses at a gorgeous location they are certainly not a must. What’s most important is capturing your love […]

Now I’m preparing for a newborn session for […]

Newborn Session with summer backyard photos {Clintonville, OH}

My In-Home Newborn Photo Sessions are a mix of lifestyle photos and styled portraits. My favorite way to style newborn portraits are by using organic and vintage elements. Anything you’d find in an English garden or a farm house. They help make your newborn photos look artistic, timeless, and romantic. Big brother and their two […]

Backyard Family Photos in the Summer {Clintonville, OH}

This was a quick effortless and fun mini session last summer. Sometimes family’s want a well planned cinematic session with a gorgeous wardrobe and stunning location. I love putting my full creativity behind these. Then there are the in between sessions where you want to capture the beautiful chaos of toddlers and capturing how quickly […]

Couples Photo Session in German Village

Family

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 […]
