Huge congrats on your pregnancy! I’m sure you have a mile long to-do list as you prepare to bring your little one into the world. A maternity photo session may not seem like an important item on your to-do list but maternity photos are a perfect way to remind you of the power and beauty […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
