Jeffrey 1st Birthday and Family Portraits - Studio Session - Westerville, Ohio

I’m so excited to feature Jeffrey’s first birthday session! I’ve been blessed to know his parents Jack and Karla as friends and past wedding clients and was so honored to capture their son Jeffrey’s 1st birthday portraits! Jeffrey is a bright-eyed, smart, curious, and happy boy who loves playing with his toys, snuggling with his parents, and reading. It was such a treat to capture him and his wonder for the world during his session, along with some updated family portraits of him with Jack and Karla.

Since Ohio weather can be unpredictable in the spring, we scheduled their session at local studio, The Barn at Be Changed Studio in Westerville. It was a beautiful location for Jeffrey’s session and we were able to capture Jeffrey and their family portraits in a unique space.

Samantha Turns 1: Birthday Session & Party - Friendship Park - Gahanna, Ohio

Miss Samantha has grown so much over the past year! You can just see her little personality radiating from every inch of her! Most notable are all of the expressions that she seems to have. It was such a treat to be able to capture her with some of her closet loved ones during her 1 Year Birthday Party and Portrait Session at Friendship Park in Gahanna. The park was the perfect location for the party as well as offered some wonderful scenery for portraits.

Enjoy some of my favorite photographs from Sammie's 1st birthday!

Ariana Newborn & Family Portrait Session: Inniswood Metro Gardens - Westerville, Ohio

This past spring the Gonzalez family welcomed Miss Ariana! I was so excited to meet her and to capture their family in their own portrait session shortly after they brought her home from the hospital in May. I've had the honor of capturing each of their children's portraits from newborn until present day. They wanted newborn photographs of Ariana, but also wanted a large focus to be on all the kids and the family during their session. We ventured to Inniswood Metro Gardens in Westerville, Ohio - a local favorite spot known for it's beautiful gardens that are maintained and plants changed throughout the year. I joke that "it's always blooming"! As usual, it was a gorgeous setting and a perfect May evening for photos.

My favorite part of the session was seeing older siblings Emilia and Damian so excited and in awe of their little sister. Enjoy some of my favorite photographs from their session!

Liam Newborn Portraits: In-Home Session, London, Ohio

Two of our dear friends, Sandy and Shane, welcomed their little boy, Liam, just a couple of weeks ago! It's been wonderful to meet their son and to document their happiness during this exciting time.

For Liam's newborn session, we decided to have the photo shoot in their home. One of the great things about having a newborn session at home is the ability to use and feature some of the important rooms, decor, and meaningful props in the session without needing to move props from their home to our studio.

We started in their baby-Stars Wars themed nursery, and incorporated other rooms in their home during the session. We were able to feature Liam wearing some of their favorite outfits, including a beautiful grey and green sweater that one of Liam's aunts made for him. We even able to include a memory bear that Liam's mom, Sandy, had made! (You can learn more about her business and order your own custom memory bear here: https://thememorybears.com)

It was such an honor to capture Liam and their family's portraits. We are excited for them as they begin the new adventure of parenthood with Liam. :-) Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Rory 4 Month Portraits: Gahanna, Ohio

Loved every second of Rory's 4-month session in the studio with her parents! My brother-in-law Zac and his wife Toni welcomed Rory back in September. It's been so exciting seeing her grow these past few months and we love being able to call her our niece. :-)

I love capturing little ones in the studio, but I was thrilled that we could include mom and dad in photos and make some family portraits. There's truly no better way to celebrate and recognize one's family unit than through photographs that you all will treasure of all time.

Enjoy seeing some baby giggles and some of my favorites from their session!

Hunter Newborn Session: Columbus, Ohio Studio Session

A very special congratulations to Taryn and Matt on their growing family! It feels like yesterday I was capturing their big day and it was such an honor to capture them with their son, Hunter in the studio. Hunter is a handsome little guy and was so photogenic and easy to work with in the studio. With his birthday happening during the holiday season, we were able to incorporate some fun Christmas themed props. Enjoy some of my favorites from Hunter's session!

Delaney 1 Year Portraits & Cake Smash: Studio, Columbus, Ohio

I've had the honor of photographing Delaney from her newborn session through her first year of life! I photographed her parents' wedding back in 2014 and have enjoyed seeing their family grow and documenting it for all time. So very excited to feature some of my favorites from Delaney's photo shoot at the studio!

Olivia 6 Month Portraits: Studio, Columbus, Ohio

Miss Olivia has reached her 6 month milestone! We had so much fun welcoming her back to the studio to capture her at this age. She's such a happy and beautiful baby! 6 months is one of my favorite ages to photograph little ones - their personalities really start to show. Enjoy some of my favorites of sweet Olivia!
