More baby sweetness!! Meet Nathan | Cleveland, Ohio Newborn Photographer

admin1 — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:06:02 +0000

I have been loving all these newborn sessions, and the sweet little babies I’ve had the pleasure of photographing; all are so different and unique! Little Nathan was such a sweet little thing, so cute, and definitely a little guy who knows what he likes and what he doesn’t like. He liked his sleep and didn’t like it too much when we bothered him or moved him around, lol… though to his surprise I think we got some really great images that his parents will love :)

Ben, Laura, it truly was a pleasure meeting you both and getting to know you. You are such sweet parents, and Nathan is so adorable and a lucky little guy! I can’t wait for you to see the rest of your images.

This one just makes me smile and sighhh every time I see it… so sweet…

Another completely adorable one and a fav…

Such a sweet, tender moment, love this…

Another fav that I love in both color and b&w; and I love his little hands… he was pretty particular with them, liked them close to his face…

Ohhh, I just looove this one :)

Beautiful, sweet family…

At 10 days old, this adorable little guy was such a rockstar during his session, letting me pose him every which way, and slept almost the entire time. His parents are such sweet people, and you can just see the excitement radiating from them when being all together.

Michael and Nicole, it was wonderful meeting you and I’m thrilled to have captured these special memories for you. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek; I had the hardest time deciding which ones to post. I’m so excited for you and your family to see the rest of your images

I just absolutely love these…

hehe, sooo stinkin’ cute…

One of my favorite sets of images…

I just love this image and the flaky skin… so sweet and new…

So super sweet, and another fav set…

Aren’t they such a beautiful family?! And their little doggie was so good and soo cute…

In between sneak peeks, I thought I’d share this fun mini-session that I had with my gorgeous little neice and nephew before the Holidays. Not only did my neice just turn two, but my sister also wanted some images for their Christmas card. They are loads of fun and both have huge personalities… it’s always a blast having all the kids/cousins together

Love these images of my beautiful neice, who is the smartest little two year old, so headstrong, silly and a total princess…

Had so much fun taking pictures of them together… aren’t they so cute?!

My cute little nephew, who is a total boy, loves dinosaurs and trains, and is the fastest little talker I know…

I had the pleasure of capturing this sweet little guy at 9 days old. His parents are super sweet and just a gorgeous couple, and their house is beautiful, and filled with such amazing natural light! This is the first of quite a few newborn sessions I have within the next month, and it’s such a great way to bring in the new year of sessions, as newborns are one of my favorite subjects to photograph!

Kale, Sarah, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek… it was truly a pleasure meeting you and I am thrilled I was able to capture this special time for you and your family. Lucas is an absolutely adorable baby and I can’t wait for you to see the rest of the images!

Love this sweet one of him, can’t decide if I like it better in b&w…

or color… doesn’t he have the sweetest little lips…

One of my favs… and I just love his full head of hair…

Another fav… so gorgeous…

Lucas has some amazing and intense dark blue eyes… so glad I was able to catch some with his eyes open!

Angelina, Senior Session | Cleveland, Ohio High School Senior Photographer

Angelina is one of my gorgeous senior reps and is from North Royalton H.S.! Her first session was a blast over the summer, and this past Nov. was just as fun (even though we had some rain, cold and serious wind issues.) She has such a great personality, is full of life and laughter, and is such a beautiful girl :)

Angelina, it has been awesome having you as my senior rep, and I have loved capturing this amazing time in your life!!

The first attempt at session 2 was extremely cold and windy. I was so glad she wanted to capture some of the sports she is involved with at school, and I really love how the images came out! She was a total trooper in her uniform, as it was seriously cold…

Love these gorgeous ones of her… and how editing can really change the look and feel of a photograph!

Absolutely love the colors here

Being an ANTM fan, she totally smeyes’s

Happy New Year!, Olivia’s 2! and a Senior Session | Cleveland, Ohio Children and High School Senior Photographer

Well this will be a long post, as I’m trying to play catch up from my much-needed vacation… the past two months have left me pretty sleepless and bug-eyed trying to finish everything up that I could before Christmas! It’s been a great 2009 and I feel so blessed to have met so many wonderful families, babies, children and high school seniors! Thank you to all my clients for such a wonderful year!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s and is off to a great start in 2010! Christmas seemed to go by so fast for me and I still can’t believe it’s already over. The kids had a blast and it’s been great being able to just relax and enjoy Christmas break with my family. Our 2010 has started off not as great as I would have liked… my little Olivia was very sick and in the ER on New Year’s Eve. She had an upper respiratory infection for a few days as well as a terrible gastrointestinal bug, which made her so sick that she become dehydrated and had to have IV and fluids :( She is thankfully on the road to recovery now, and we can’t wait until she is 100%! Today is her 2nd birthday, time has just flown and she is such a big girl! Of course I have to post pics since it’s her b-day

My little, happy girl… always wanting to make us laugh, so determined and head-strong, so beautiful…

School starts back up tomorrow, as well as work and everything else, and I think Alexa and I are actually (surprisingly) ready to get back to our routines; I know Alexa has missed her school friends… I’m so glad she loves school and is doing so well :) I have pics to post of her too, but will save that for another post as there are many of her, and her and Olivia together!

I’m thrilled to finally be posting images of Jessika, one of my awesome senior reps. (She has been so patient and I cannot thank her enough!) We really had a blast at her second session back in November. She is a gorgeous and sweet girl who loves fashion, and really has a great head on her shoulders. This second session was a two-parter, as we got rained on at our first attempt, but I think it’s given her such a great variety of images… her and her mom are going to have such a hard time, as there are so many amazing ones!

Jess, you have been such a great rep, I’m thrilled to have met you and captured this special time in your life! Keep going after your dreams, I know you will go far and do amazing things

This is one of my favs, so completely gorgeous… this was a fun one to get, wasn’t it Jess?! ;) But the result is just stunning I think!

I saw this berry tree and had to stop… Love…

I really love these colors and her cute hat and scarf…

Another absolute fav… I have lots from this session…

Love her outfit, isn’t she gorgeous

Sahsha, Senior Session | Cleveland, Ohio High School Senior Photographer

Sahsha is a gorgeous senior that was referred to me by her friend Ashley that I photographed this past year. Sahsha has a great personality and was up for anything, which of course I love! She ended up having two different sessions, as the first time we unfortunately miscommunicated directions and lost some light rather quickly. We scheduled her 2nd session weeks later, and I am very excited to share all the beautiful images with her.

Sahsha, I had so much fun meeting you and am thrilled to capture this very exciting time for you. Enjoy your sneak peek, many more to see in your gallery

Looove the colors…

Love this in b&w too, such a gorgeous image of her…

Little Jacob | Cleveland, Ohio Newborn & Family Photographer

admin1 — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:07:11 +0000

I have known this sweet & beautiful family for a couple of years now through one of my best friends. Hard to believe I photographed Owen, their first, as a newborn over 2 years ago; time has flown by, and he has gotten to be such a big boy, so completely adorable, with so much personality!! I was thrilled when they asked me to take pictures of their second child, another little boy who looks just like his big brother. Jacob is such a sweet and beautiful little baby boy, and although we had a bit of a hard time trying to schedule and then I got pretty sick, on the day of their session it was so wonderful to finally meet the sweet little blessing, who was just over two months old.

Chad, Deanna, enjoy your beautiful images; I can’t wait for for you to see the rest!!

How cute is his little smile?! And look at all his chubby little rolls

Sooo sweet…

How sweet are these?! I think Owen likes being a big brother…

Isn’t she beautiful?! It was so sweet watching her interact with her kids; she is an amazing mommy, and the joy she feels being a mom just exudes from her!

So many cute family shots, but I just love this one…

Chad seriously cracks me up… he is a funny guy, and such a great dad! Love this sweet one…

The grandparents were so super sweet and patient during the session, and I absolutely love the moments we captured…

Love this one, such a great moment…

Another Beautiful Family | Cleveland, Ohio Family & Child Photographer

I have had so much fun meeting lots of new families this past Fall. This family was super sweet, even though we had pretty cold weather, especially in the morning. Their children are so beautiful, and although it took a while for them to get used to me, we ended up with some great images that I can’t wait to share!

Barry, Cindy, it was such a pleasure meeting you and your adorable kiddos. I hope you enjoy your images… many more for you to see

Sweet Lucas, the happiest little kid, isn’t he such a cutie?!

Beautiful Josie, who is so super smart, I still can’t believe she is 3…

Love this one, and I’m not sure which one I like better, color or b&w…

hehe, this is so stinkin’ cute, I love his face…

They are such a cute couple… she’s a tiny little thing and he’s over 6′, they are super sweet together…

Hard to choose a favorite family shot, but this one is just too cute…

Kylan, 4 months old | Cleveland, Ohio Baby & Child Photographer

I had so much fun at this session, and am thrilled to be able to capture this little cutie-pie throughout his first year of life. I absolutely love the images of him at his newborn session, and he is still just as smiley and in love with his parents as ever at 4 months old. I wish I could take all the credit for making him so happy, but his daddy made for truly an entertaining time for all of us!

Matt & Danielle, enjoy your sneak peek… so many cute ones, I had a hard time choosing which ones to show here.

We lucked out and had such beautiful weather on the day of their session; I was so happy to go outside and looove the colors!!

Is he not the happiest, most adorable little thing?!

Love this family shot, I must have been doing something dorky, but hey, whatever it takes to get babies to smile, right?! :)
