Capturing the Truth in Every Moment | Cincinnati Lifestyle 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.
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.
In November of last year Oliver was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer called Neuroblastoma. Many would call this every parent’s nightmare. I watched as Richie and Suzi dealt through a whole range of emotions and settled on determination. They were determined not to let this break them. Determined to fight with their son. Determined to stand up and be a voice for childhood cancer. Most of all, determined that, NO MATTER WHAT, God would be glorified through their son and through their journey. They have been an incredible testament of faith and hope to me. There is no where I would have rather been last Saturday than at Children’s documenting Oliver’s last round of chemo.
This boy. He’s so sweet and friendly to everyone he meets. As you can tell, chemo doesn’t keep him down for long. We ran the hallways and laughed a lot at this silly guy. If you want to follow along his journey head over to their Facebook page and give them a follow.
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!
The Weimer family is just as sweet as can be. I had such a great time getting to know each of them + capturing their different personalities. I’m SOOOOO happy to be shooting outdoors again. Spring, you are incredibly welcome here in Ohio. Please stick around.
Jen + I have been trying to shoot their family session since November! A scheduling conflict, then rain, and then a black eye all pushed back the session until March, but we finally got it done! I’m sitting here this morning looking at snow on the ground and wishing it was as warm as this beautiful day last week. I’m so happy it worked out and I got to meet this adorable family.
Logan + Nolan are quite a pair. One is spunky and the other a little more reserved. One was cheesing for the camera and the other one hiding from me. We had so much fun exploring at Rowe Arboretum!
You guys. I’m kind of obsessed with this family. I cannot get enough of this new big brother, Maverick. He was so sweet and so excited about his new baby. He couldn’t hold his hugs back from his momma’s neck either. Katie is a very talented florist (go check out Katie’s Blooms), a studio mate of mine, and a beautiful human. Congratulations, little family, I just love you all so much!
I’m not sure if you recognize Ryan + Hannah but, if you’ve been around here for any amount of time your should. I photographed their engagement session, their wedding, and their maternity session (with a few other sessions in between). And NOW their sweet baby boy is here!!! Oliver didn’t even think about sleeping during his newborn session, he was soooo alert and such a calm little guy. Congratulations, you two!
How is Mila turning one already? I was seriously just shooting her newborn session yesterday. Time is mean. I love these three humans so so much. Leah & Sergio are some of the most precious people I know. If you ever need a hug, Leah is your girl. She gives the best hugs on the planet. In fact, her whole family are just great huggers. Is that a weird compliment? Well either way, its true. I can already tell, Miss Mila is going to follow in those footsteps with her sweetness too! Happy Birthday, Pumpkin Pie I hope you get all the cake and lovins!
You know that song on Frozen, “For The First Time In Forever”? I’m literally singing that as I blog this session because I feel like its be AGES since I’ve blogged. In the last month I’ve shot 7 headshot sessions, and a styled shoot, and hosted a Beginners Photography Class. It’s been so busy and so fun!
It was nice to be back to shooting families. Sweet River Grace came to my studio for her 1 year session and we snuck her momma in for a few photos as well. I’m so glad we grabbed her sling for the last couple, they are absolutely my favorites!! When we shot her big brother’s one year session Abby was pregnant with River and now for River’s one year session she pregnant with a new baby!! We can’t wait to find out if its a boy or a girl next week. Love this precious family and I’m so excited to meet your new babe.
