Have any of you ever seen someone from a far or maybe on social media and you just KNOW youre meant to be friends? That Jess for me, so when the stars aligned and I was able to document her and her baby boy it was destiny we be friends. These photos just scream nostalgia to me.

Fall Outdoor Newborn Family Photos in Granville, Ohio

The Montgomery family welcomed a beautiful baby boy and when mama Brooke inquired about newborn photos she suggested doing them outside, which I loved. We met at a nature reserve in Granville, and although it was October in Ohio, it was a particularly hot day, which baby boy loved but not always ideal for mom and dad. Despite the heat, the setting was beautiful and this family made it easy to photograph their family oriented newborn photos.

Lake Michigan Sunset Fall Family Photos

A dear friend of mine has a beautiful oasis of a home on Lake Michigan and she’s been kind enough to let my family stay there. This time we brought some friends and naturally I demanded they let me take some family photos of them at sunset walking along the lakes beachfront. The scenery in this part of Michigan has the perfect lake effect with rocks, water, beach and pines. If it didn’t get so cold I’d call it paradise and move up there.

Summer Sunset Family Photos Among Rolling Pastures in Central Ohio

I met Haley years ago in nursing school, it was a brief overlap, she went her way and I went mine. She eventually married a military man, lived in Virginia and raising two beautiful children. I remember watching her life from a far on social media and being blown away by photos taken when her husband came from from deployment. After that, they moved back home to Central Ohio. When Haley in inquired she suggested using her families farmland for photos where their old farm house is in the midst of being renovated. I was pleasantly surprised to see rolling pastures and various blooms. I loved how these summer sunset photos turned out and look forward to seeing their home once completed.

Last minutes of Sunset Family Photos on Captiva Island, Florida

For spring break, my family headed to Captiva Island in Florida, with the best of luck, some friends of ours were also staying on the island the same time as us, so naturally I insisted that our friends do some sunset beach photos. We all did dinner at the infamous Bubble Room and headed to the beach when everyone was done. We only had about 15 minutes left of the sun so it was a very fast paced shoot. The wind was as intense as the sun but it made for the most beautiful photos and now I want to do beach photos all the time, which is hard luck for someone who lives in Central Ohio.

Couples Intimate Maternity Photos in Westerville, Ohio

Boy oh boy, these two are just the coolest, not to mention they know how to bring the creative energy. Hannah and Gonzalo met in Chile and their love story began. Now living in the states, married and excitedly getting ready to become parents to a little girl. I really wanted their photos to feel intimate, cozy and embracing the beauty that is pregnancy. The setting inside the Be Changed studio helped set the tone and the couple helped bring it all to life.
