Child Photographer – Cincinnati OH

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

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!!

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.

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 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!

I LOVED photographing this session!! These girls were so full of life, they challenged me and entertained me. Such sweet, beautiful girls!! Despite it being extremely overcast, I got some great shots before it was too dark to shoot anymore. This mama sent me pictures of the vision she had for her session- kind of a rustic Christmas theme. We met at a very beautiful arboretum with tons of evergreen trees and their clothing choices did not disappoint. I just love the boots! I hope I will be seeing this family again for pictures!

This precious guy belongs to a dear friend of mine; she and her family have endured many photo sessions with me from the time I was just starting out until now. I love being able to grow with families! Anyway, this sweet boy was a little over 3 weeks early and gave me a run for my money when it came to posing! He had his own opinions on how the session should go, haha. Love his beautiful red hair, reminds me of my little girl’s when she was born!

I was ecstatic when a fellow local photographer (Gina with Twinkle Stars Photography) contacted me to do her family pictures. She sent me some pinterest ideas of shots that she wanted (which is super helpful by the way if you have specific looks in mind). We started at the overlook at Devou Park and finished in some tall grass at sunset. Her girls are full of life and an absolute blast to photograph, I loved every picture from their session. I put some of my favorites together and here they are… enjoy!

I just started doing studio mini sessions and this was my first :) I have photographed this family before and was so excited to take pictures of their brand new little girl at a week old! And check out baby sister’s beautiful, long eyelashes! For only being a 30 minute session, they rocked it. Big brother and big sister were so proud and sweet! Click here for their gorgeous fall family pictures taken a year and a half ago. I love being able to grow with my clients!
