Smith Family #3

I've been looking forward to this appointment all summer! Justin is one of Miss J's VIP client models! I was so excited when his family wanted to do a portrait session. I loved the colors Mom and Dad chose for the pics, very vibrant. Justin has 3 brothers who are just as adorable as he is. I had a great time with this whole bunch! Thanks for coming out again and bringing the whole family to play Justin! I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks Mom and Dad. Talk to ya soon!

Lane with a walnut :)

The boys wanted to have a race. I love this one just because it's them being them!

Baby Lucas! Those eyes... wow!

It took several snaps, but we got it! Everyone looking and no tears anywhere! I love this shot!

(p.s. Justin is the one in green, some of you probably recognize this little super star)

Smith Family #2

I had the honor of photographing Little Miss E starting at birth. She was one of my first labor and delivery babies! She is now a few months old and just as grown as she can be! She brought Mom and Dad and the fam out to play for the day! We had a fun time and ended up with several great images! Here are a few sneak peeks for ya Ash... ENJOY!

So happy we got one of Lexi smiling :)

Love this pouty lip, sums up the day

So in love...

Lexi smiling and Ro looking in the direction of the camera, SUCCESS! haha

Wow, what a day!

Today was such a busy day! 1 post consultation, and 4 shoots! I'm pooped, lol.

I had a great time with the Smith Family! I've been anticipating this day for a while. I have several sneak peeks to get posted, but for tonight I just have one from the first session. More to come tomorrow...

(This little guy melted my heart, even tho it took us a couple hours to become friends. I hope you enjoy this first sneak peek Momma and Daddy)

Charlotte 9 months

This little angel is precious to me! She is not only one of my Watch me Grow babies, but also one of my fav little girls. Her mommy and I have been friends for a while. We use to work together! (Those were some fun nights!!)
I remember a couple years ago when I had my first session with mommy, daddy, and Puppy Dog Flynn! They were one of my very first "clients" when I was fresh out of school!
Well, I was super excited when she found out she was pregnant! And I was so happy to be the chosen photographer for little Miss Charlotte! She was one of the prettiest newborns I had ever seen. I can't believe how fast she's grown! She is gorgeous if I must say so myself! She has the most captivating eyes! I've never seen eyes as dark as hers pick up light and reflections the way that hers do! I'm always so happy with her images... And, this session did not disappoint! Char is 9 months now and we had a little play date as the park. Here are just a couple of my fav's so far!
Enjoy the sneak peeks!

This little table was given to her by an Aunt! So cute!

I love her being modest here... hahaha

The flower was bigger than her head, but I loved it!


Lauren I'm anxious to finish this session! Talk to ya next week ;)

Busy Bee and Her Handsome Bro

I had the honor of meeting the "S" kids yesterday for a fun play date. Mom had asked if we would be using props. I explained at this age I just like to capture the kids being kids. And that's just what we did...
Well Mr. M is 4 and as cute as a button. He is a big fan of his little toy cars. His favorite seemed to be the police cars. They parked and kept guard over our stuff during our shoot :)
Then there's the little sister, Miss J, 16 months, and a busy little bee! From the moment we started shooting she was on the go, full run, almost the entire time. Not to worry tho, I first curled my toes up to keep on the flip flops and then quickly decided it was time to kick them off and chase! I have several of the back of her, because apparently I wasn't the coolest thing at the park to explore that day. haha. But, I assured mom I'd capture "them" and I think I did, running or not...
Here are a few of the sneak peeks... Enjoy


I just love this one of Big Bro in the background waiting as little sis runs to him!

E, M, C, Encore Session

The girls contacted me anxious to do an Encore session a few weeks ago. The books were full so we had to wait a while, but it was worth the wait. They rocked it out! We shot 95% of our session in the pouring rain. These girls were fantastic. So much fun! We got wet, we got muddy, and I even got stung by a wasp! Incredible!! After they rocked their dresses they put on some comfy country clothes. So cute!!

I had several great images to choose from and it was hard to pick my favs, Believe me!! But here it is... I hope you chickys enjoy your sneak peeks!

What's an encore session??

!!ENCORE!! Because that dress demands a second appearance!!!!!!!!!
Some know it as Trash the Dress!! (http://www.trashthedress.com/)
Created originally for Brides everywhere! But why limit it to brides? Everyone has a dress that they bought for that special occasion! You dressed up, painted the town for that one evening came home and hung it up (or for some of us tossed it in the floor) and it's been hanging there ever since. Maybe you begged your mom for the most amazing homecoming/prom dress you'd ever laid your eyes on, or so humbly purchased the most hideous... I mean "perfect" maid of honor dress that your best friend knew you'd look so stunning in, or maybe you yourself got to be the princess for the day- the Bride! Whatever, the case the dress hangs tucked away in the back of the closet collecting dust and years on it. I mean really, are you ever going to wear it again? Go to Homecoming, Go to Prom, or walk down the aisle to your Prince Charming- and when it's all said and done, why not hook up with an artistic photographer and create some amazing ART!
These unique sessions take place in a variety of unorthodox settings like an industrial park, a back alley, and other urban areas, or choose to trade in the urban scene and get creative in a more natural environment like a field or a lake. Some, might even prefer to be a little more personal and shoot in the comfort of your own backyard, a favorite park your family visited every weekend growing up, or just playing in the mud for a little bit. Encore sessions are designed to trash the dress, drown the gown, or tear up that tux! Whatever your preference might be, Encore is about having a unique experience and one of the most enjoyable photo shoots EVER!

HERE I GROW...

I've been photographing Little Miss E, since she was a newbie! Well this week we got together to capture her 6 month milestone. I can't believe how much she has grown! Such a doll!
Miss E is such a happy baby, full of giggles n grins! I just love seeing her little teeth every time she smiles! Here is just a quick sneak peek from our session... Enjoy!

Senior Hilary 2010!

Well I am definitely in full swing for the Class of 2010 Seniors and loving every minute of it!!

I really enjoyed Hilary- she was a joy to work with and had such a fun attitude! It's girls like her that make my job seem so easy. She was a natural! We had a great time running around to all of our little hot spots, even if we did get caught TRESPASSING!!! (I'll remember that forever, thnx haha)

Hilary I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks...
.

CHOW FOR NOW! :)

Princess P!

I had the pleasure of meeting Princess P a few months ago for her 3 month session! We had such a great time, Mom called to make an appointment for her 6 month session almost immediately! So, this has been a long time comin! We met in Cincinnati this week for our play day. Little Miss P did great! She brought along a special stuff animal given to her by an awesome Uncle, and even got Mom and Dad involved in a few pics! Here are some of my fav's so far. Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Senior K, Class 2010

I have several fav's from Miss K's senior session! I will be posting more sneak peeks for her, however, I can't wait until they are all complete to do so! Here is just one of my top fav's... Enjoy

SO EXCITED!

It's going to be a super busy day today! I have an adorable senior shoot this morning, a bouncing little 6mo old cutie along with her momma and daddy this evening, and the birth of a little princess tonight! I have the best job in the world!! I hope everyone enjoys the day! Sneak peeks of these awesome sessions coming soon...

But for now, Chow!

Handsome Prince

Another fun experience photographing a handsome little prince! This little guy was just 2 days old when we did the first half of his session and 10 days old when we did the last half! He was one of the happiest, easy going little bundles of joy I've ever worked with! He was so happy curling up any way I wanted him! He gave me several smiles and even pee'd on a few of my things. I think he was marking his territory cause I'm sure he wanted to go home with me :) hee hee
Here are a few of my fav's! Enjoy!



Love him in this little stork sack!
