Maxwell James | Cincinnati Newborn Photographer

These two parents have great taste is kid’s names. It’s so funny, all four of the names they chose for their boys (Graham Henry + Max James) are in my family! Their Max is a Maxwell and mine is a Maximus, but it still counts. I’ve been photographing them since Graham was 6 months old & I absolutely love him. He’s so funny, and spunky, and wild! I can’t wait to see if Max will have a similar personality or be more laid back. Thanks for inviting me into your home, it was so great to see you all again!

 

Tyler Lee | Cincinnati Birth Photographer | UC West Chester

Births are amazing. I am honestly never more honored than when a family trusts me to be involved in this; one of the most intimate, beautiful, and life-changing moments. Anna was such a sweet, joyful, and strong mama and Brian was an incredible supporter. Tyler’s birth was so peaceful and beautiful, I would be ecstatic to photograph 100 more just like it. Congratulations, you two. Tyler is perfect + so loved already.

Hugo + Michelle + Lucy | Cincinnati Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

People sometimes ask me if I’m sad that my husband and I are done having babies. My response is, “No way! I get to cuddle them all the time without having to stay up all night.” Serious job perks! This sweet little squish also shares a name with my oldest which makes her even more special to me. I ADORE in home newborn sessions. They’re comfortable, sweet, and relaxed. Thank you, Hugo + Michelle for inviting me into your home and letting me cuddle your beautiful new babe.

 

Dan + Kayla + William | Cincinnati Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Kayla, I’m sorry for making you cry several times this week, I can’t promise it won’t happen again right now. William is such a sweet, happy little guy. He stayed awake nearly our whole session and didn’t cry once. I am looking forward to watching him grow and seeing the ways his little life brings glory to God. Love you guys so much!

 

Aaron + Amanda + Rowan | Cincinnati Family Photographer

One of the really cool job perks of being a family photographer is watching babies grow into toddlers and, eventually, into big kids. It’s such a privilege when families come back to me and trust me again and again with capturing these milestones. I can’t believe it has already been a year since Rowan’s newborn session, time just keeps speeding up on me.

Hugo + Michelle + Baby Girl | Cincinnati Maternity Photographer

Sometimes when I meet people I’m like, “Ohmygosh, will you be my best friend?” No, joke these two (three!) humans are so funny and genuine I just want to hang out with them. Their kid is going to be extra cool and extra loved. We laugh SO much during our session and just had a blast getting to know each other. Here’s to hoping I’m in town when she has this sweet baby girl so I can come photograph her adorable little face at the hospital.

Side note: HOLY COW Michelle is gorgeous and all belly at 8 months prego.

Aubrey + Jaxson | Cincinnati Family Photography

I love these babies so much. I’ve said it a hundred times but HOLY PHOTOGENIC! These two have the prettiest eyeballs and Aubrey has been working the camera since she was a wee babe. Seriously, they need to stop growing up, it’s insane.

Jesse + Jazmine + Jace | Cincinnati Family Photographer

There are people in your life that you quickly realize are “your people” when you meet them. These are my people. Compared to the 33 years of my life, I haven’t even known them at long. (3 years) But it seems like forever. I loved the two of them so much already but THEN they brought this sweet little guy into the world and their family just grew more precious to me. I am so hyped to shoot a BUNCH of weddings with Jaz this year and to go exploring Havasu Falls with them next year!! IT’S GONNA BE SO FUNNNNN!! Love you bunches, fam.

Ps. How did she just have a baby 6 months ago?? Holy smoking hot friend!
