At Home Newborn Family Photos | Columbus, Ohio | Baby C

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.

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.

Documentary At Home Father + Daughter Family Photos | Columbus, Ohio

These sort of sessions don’t come round often enough. When Bryce reached out wanting to photograph some time spent with his daughter I was thrilled. I had no idea his plans for the session, but knew he was a creative mind. When I arrived and he casually mentioned wanting to do a couple things that he and his daughter do together- making a flower bouquet and making some fresh OJ, I had to hold back a happy dance. It may sound so simple, just like he offered the ideas. But these little interactions are what make documentary style photographs real. These are the times well spent that are worth documenting.
