Colorful Sunrise Beach Maternity Session | Baby T
This is Cait. To know her is to love her, or in my case also admire her. She is a fantastic family photographer in my area and everyone should want a session with their loved ones captured the way she does. All that to say, when she asked about doing a special mother and sons sunrise session at the local beach I knew there would be playing, color and creativity. For being 6am, you wouldn’t know it from anyone involved. We had fun roaming the sands, splashing in the waters and then letting the boys go play while Cait and I played with posing and direct light. I am so excited for this mama to be of 3 and am so incredibly humbled to capture her with my lens.

This family is a special one to me. This mama is a dear long time friend and we lived together for many years.. she was a huge part of learning the craft of photography and I’ll be forever grateful for the season of life when we were inseparable. Since those days we’ve both moved on to growing our families and I loved the excuse to spend an extra long morning with hers taking in the newest member while enjoying the ever changing and maturing personalities of her other two babes.
Sunset Beach Family Maternity Photos| 30A Florida
My family loves traveling with other families and for the second year in a row we ventured down to 30A, Santa Rosa Beach in Florida with dear friends of ours. The biggest difference from last years trip to this year was that our friends are expecting a baby and of course I insisted on doing some family/maternity photos on the beach at sunset. I don’t know about you who is reading this, but I am ready for bed early. Like 8pm. Sunset is 9pm in June, and on the beach it is truly 9pm because you watch the sunset over the horizon as opposed to a tree line or buildings, etc. Luckily even with being after mine (and this families) bedtime, everyone adventured down to the beach and was in happy spirits. Can’t wait to meet the newest addition this fall.
Homestead Family Maternity Photos | Utica, Ohio
The M Family wanted the homestead vibe for their summer sunset family photos celebrating the newest addition on the way. There is something very pulling about being barefoot in the grass and spending time with the ones closest to you. I loved the usage of our evening spent with some planned activity of hanging laundry but then roaming the property hand in hand with lots of hugs and laughs. Very excited for this family in the coming weeks to be a family of six.

There was a season where I was not doing in home newborn sessions and it served its season. Now I am back to it and loving it. This family and their home were repeat clients/setting but with a new addition. Now with two daughters the A family has been a joy to witness growing in from top my camera. I loved the variety that toddlers bring to a session, there is always time to let them not focus on the camera. Letting your photographer still capture those in between moments are just as special as the “perfectly posed” stills.
Playful Family Photos | B Family | Mount Vernon, Ohio
The Baker family always bring their own fun things to do in their time in front of the camera and its usually activated that are a part of their real daily lives and this is an excellent example with their imaginative play toys. This brought laughter, fun and color to this already easy to photograph family. Would you believe this was all captured in 15 minutes during a mini session at my favorite studio, Miller Manor in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The bed scene was dedicated to my Mothers Day minis and I couldn’t be happier with the florals by Jess Lauren Florals.
Couples Intimate Maternity Photos in Studio | Granville, Ohio | Baby S
This duo is expecting baby #3 to add to their family. For a change of pace, they decided to take their time with me to be only mom and dad and leave the two young boys at home. No worries, they have other more family friendly maternity photos planned but I loved that they wanted to highlight their love and the growth of their family just them two. This is always an option for any mom or parents to consider when doing maternity photos. These two were honestly fire and so fun to work with, very little directing was needed other than moving around the room for various scenes and adjusting for best light, the rest was natural and easy.
Family Maternity Photos in Studio | Baby W
I was lucky enough to connect with Brooke a few years ago when she was pregnant with her second daughter. I was hosting a workshop for a group of local photographers and she was out model. Besides being obviously beautiful, Brookes personality was what caught my attention. She was so bubbly, easy to work with and kind. When she reached back out pregnant with this pregnancy I was so excited to get to document her and this time her family as well. They met me at my studio in Granville Ohio and we spent time playing and posing. Playing is always going to be included when you have two young children, and they were perfect for the games. Took a little time to also show off mom with some posing and outfit changes. Can’t wait to see them again when baby arrives.
Studio Newborn Photos in Granville, Ohio | Baby G
Fun fact, I have a sister 10 years younger than me, but we are in similar life stages raising young babies, me just a little ahead of her. So when this young (younger than me) couple met me at my studio in Granville, Ohio I was happy to learn mom had been in high school with my sister and I imagine thats part of how she ended up booking me for photos. Its strange to realize the next generation is coming in for their growing families milestones that feels not long ago for me, but here we are and my first borns will be turning 8, cue the tears. I enjoyed these in love parents and their sweet baby boy.
Studio Newborn Family Photos | Baby Girl T
Get ready to swoon over the T family. They have been known friends of friends and have slowly over time become more a first hand friend. I can’t say enough kind words about mom and her spirit. She is truly one of the most genuine and kind people and It’s been such a blessing to get to know her more and celebrate her and her family welcoming their sweet baby girl. Older sis couldn’t be prouder and the whole family made this newborn session completely enjoyable.

My Outdoor Winter Family Photos | Alum Creek Beach, Ohio
I was inspired by my jacket. Thats where the whole idea came from. I've been know for being a hoarder of all jackets, coats, anything that layers really. Layers are your best friend in photos. They add movement, interest and texture to a simple palette. I decided for the first time to run with my love of coats and layers and went casual. Truth- I’ve never worn jeans in a photo session. Im so glad I did and overall just loved how the neutral layered outfits came together for our annual family photos. Thank you so much to my photographer friend- Judith Madrid for meeting us at the beach on a cold day.
Edits by yours truly.
In Home Family of Seven Newborn Photos in Granville Ohio | Baby N
I was so excited when Lindsay from Buffalo Rome Co reached out to inquire for photos revolving around her pregnancy. Her beautiful neutral home made for a calm and inviting environment. Her family is so easy to photograph and it was fun to go a little outside of the box with some of their posing and use of the home for capturing them all together as a family of seven.
