Child Photographer – Cincinnati OH

When we moved from Mt. Adams to the suburbs in Anderson/Newtown, I loved all of the little areas I found to photograph in! Sure, I missed the urban beauty and parks galore but the “country” offers so much as well. Each spring, there is this small yet gorgeous patch of yellow flowers… okay weeds, that grow on the side of a road by my house so each year, I have taken my daughter (and started taking her friends too!) to get some pictures in it. I hope to continue this tradition for many years to come! As long as she will let me anyway ;) It’s so neat to watch her literally grow right out of the flowers. The first year, she didn’t even reach the tops of them and now she they are waist high. I tried to find out what these flowers were called and the best I could come up with is winter cress, here is a link to some of Ohio’s most common wildflowers in case anyone is as interested as I am.

I created this set of pictures, one from each year I have been doing this. My daughter at 1, 2, 3, and now 4. Also some pictures of she and her friends this year!!

Cincinnati | Northern KY Family Photographer – 2016 Year in Review

Cincinnati | Northern KY Family Photographer – 2016 Year in Review

It’s that time of year to do my annual blog post!! I am awful at writing, was always a math nerd so I crap out after one sentence in one post and push blogging to the bottom of my to do list (which I don’t get through until the January of the next year). 2016 was a fantastic year for me, I did more sessions than ever- maybe too many in the fall if you ask my husband :P This year, I am taking on new challenges and have some new mini sessions and I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! For now though, here is a recap of my 2016 sessions- I think I got most of them in there! Hardest task ever is to compile this image, haha. Enjoy!! If you are finding me for the first time, please head over to my Facebook or Instagram page to see recent work!! I keep both of those pretty much updated. Hope to see you soon!!

I am SOOOOOO behind on my blog. Each year when January rolls around, I try to promise myself that I will keep it up to date but life gets busy and I let it slip. No promises but maybe I will update more than a handful of times next year – 2016 will be my year, haha!! I have enjoyed my newest little guy over the last 7 months, he has a killer smile and a sweet disposition when he wants to. I’m not going to lie though, he has been HARD. He cried 95% of the time he was awake for the first 4 or so months. Thank goodness he was a summer baby and I could take him for walks during that time!! He is now almost 8 months old and I am cautiously saying that he is losing the fussiness and becoming such a joy! Even just in the last week there has been a noticeable difference! Colicky babies sure do test you, but I am so grateful for this precious guy and I can’t wait to see what he turns out to be! Here are some pictures of him at 6 months and of his room that is finally coming together! Better late than never!!

Isn’t spring time great? Besides the allergies that come with it, it could be my favorite time of the year (although I say that about all seasons except winter!). I love all of the green, gorgeous flowers, and warmer temperatures! And these flowers are probably my favorites- there is a strip of them close to my house and I took my daughter there last year for pictures and decided I would try to do annual pictures. They bloomed early this year so I drug my 9 month pregnant behind out there to capture the beauty of the wildflowers with the beauty of my little spunky 2 year old. She has mastered the “cheese!” face much to my dismay, haha. Check out last years’ pictures HERE.

Gosh, it truly seems like it was just yesterday that our sweet daughter was born. Here she is now- a 2 year old and almost a big sister!! She is the perfect amount of spunk and sweetness and with soon to be 3 brothers, she will be quite the strong, no nonsense kind of girl. Although it’s still my plan that our boys guard and protect her for life :) And trust me, she is already a force to be reckoned with! We couldn’t love her more!!

Having a February birthday makes it hard to get outdoor shots so I waited for a “mild” 38 degree day to take her out. Like most 2 year olds, she wanted nothing to do with following my directions but I am beyond happy that I got these few shots. Enjoy!

And to take a journey back, here are her newborn pictures, nursery, and 1 year pictures.

I was driving home a few weeks ago and spotted a small patch of yellow wildflowers on the side of a country road. It was in front of an old, abandoned house so immediately I thought “Perfect! I can pull over and get some pictures!”. So I rushed home to grab my camera and a dress for Charlotte and came back to get these shots before the sun set. Our photo session lasted maybe 5 minutes but I love what I got- she’s my little sweetheart :) Doing a dance for the camera!

I love getting to know my clients and getting to grow with their families. This stunning mama was one of my first maternity clients when she was pregnant with her son who is now 2 1/2. I then got to photograph their little guy throughout his first year :) So I was thrilled to hear about baby #2 (a girl!)! They are no longer just clients of mine, they are friends and I am so happy and blessed to be a part of their lives. Enjoy!

Well, it’s March 2 and the snow and cold continue to hang around! To say I’m sick of winter would be an understatement BUT I did get to try out some macro shots of individual snowflakes which I have been dying to do. I was practically frozen stiff attempting these again and again and again. It’s definitely an art and I have yet to even come close to perfecting it but I think the ones I got weren’t too bad ;) Snowflakes have to be the most beautiful, magical, and delicate creations in the world and until you see them up close like this, it’s hard to fully appreciate their beauty. I’m kind of excited for the snow storm we are currently getting, maybe I can try for more shots tomorrow! Oh and I included a shot of the cute and fuzzy little pill bug that wandered onto my setup.

I am still in shock that my little girl turned one 2 weeks ago! Time flies, that is for sure. I had planned ahead and purchased a big cupcake from Cupcake Crazy for a cake smash but after trying to drop a feeding to wean her, I came down with mastitis (ouch!). So my plans of taking pictures went down the drain until I got some antibiotics in my system. By then, the cake was a few days old so I decided to do it one evening before it was as hard as a rock. I have southwest facing windows in my studio so the worst possible light for a late afternoon session but despite the color issues, I still love these pictures. I think she would have sat there and ate until all of the icing was gone if I had let her!! She’s definitely my big eater!
