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

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.

Reesie and Anya Dog Portrait Session - Studio and Creekside Park and Plaza - Gahanna, Ohio

Reesie and Anya Dog Portrait Session - Studio and Creekside Park and Plaza - Gahanna, Ohio

It’s no secret, pet portraits, especially dog portraits, have a special place in our hearts and we love capturing pets with their people. Last month we had the honor of photographing Anya and her dog Reesie. Reesie is a Beaglier, (a Beagle/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), and is an absolute delight! She was laid back, very sweet, and a natural for the camera, especially if some tasty treats were involved.

Reesie is Anya’s self described “canine soulmate” and it was easy to see the special connection that they both have. Anya has had Reesie since she was 4 months old and will be celebrating Reesie’s 12th birthday this June!

We started their portrait session indoors at our studio before heading to Creekside Park and Plaza in Gahanna for additional photos outdoors. We were able to capture a great blend of studio portraits and also the beautiful winter snowy landscape in Ohio. I loved every second of working with Anya and Reesie and am grateful for the opportunity to meet them and capture the love and bond that they share.

School Yearbook Style Portraits - Muschlitz Photography Studio- Gahanna, Ohio

School Yearbook Style Portraits - Muschlitz Photography Studio- Gahanna, Ohio

We know how much families treasure having their child’s yearly school portrait. It’s such a neat way to document your child’s growth during their school years, and it is always fun to compare past years’ photos to see just how much they’ve grown! The 2020-2021 school year has been a weird one for many families and with hybrid and virtual schooling options, school portraits have been paused at many schools. But despite the regular school photos being temporarily paused, your kids are still growing!

When I was recently approached by a past client and friend with a request to capture some traditional school portraits of her children and her niece and nephew, I was so excited! Her kids’ schools’ had temporarily paused school portraits, but she wanted to capture them before their next big growth spurt. Muschlitz Photography just recently opened our home studio in Gahanna which is perfect for smaller groups and individuals. We have several backdrop options to choose from, including some of the traditional hand-painted backdrops that are common for head shots or school portraits. It’s a great space to have clients indoors, out of the elements anytime of the year, and is the perfect setting for the school portraits that she had been missing.

Whether you have just one child or multiple, Muschlitz Photography is excited to now offer school yearbook portrait sessions at our home studio in Gahanna. Unlike the normal school portraits held at their school, you can be there to adjust your child’s outfit and hair during the session to help make sure you get the look you want.

During the session, we were able to not only capture all 5 kids individually, but to get photographs of them all together, and each group of siblings together. We were even able to capture some candids! Enjoy some of my favorite photographs from their session!

Rory 4 Month Portraits: Gahanna, Ohio

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!

Everett & Merisa's Mommy & Me Valentine Session: Gahanna, Ohio

Everett & Merisa's Mommy & Me Valentine Session: Gahanna, Ohio

I had so much fun working with Everett and his mom Merisa in the studio to put together a special gift for his dad this Valentine's day! Everett is a little over a year old and a healthy and happy toddler! It's been wonderful capturing him as he's been growing this past year. He had a lot of fun exploring the studio and playing with our Valentine Day props. We captured some great moments of him and with his mom - talk about a great way to "I love you" in photos their family will treasure!

Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!
