Zach + Jenesis | Cincinnati Family Photographer

A little over a year ago I stepped out of my comfort zone and attended a gathering of Cincinnati creatives through The Rising Tide. I’m so incredibly glad I did. That night I met so many talented and beautiful people. One of them was Jenesis. She is the artist behind Pied Paper Goods and she’s one of the kindest humans I’ve met. Zach, Jenesis, and a few other friends also opened up an AMAZING coffee shop in my neighborhood last year called Brick Coffee. (Go check it out, it’s seriously YUM!). Just to round off all the things on their plate; he’s a teacher, she’s a nanny and a worship pastor. Seriously guys, way to make us all seem totally lazy. And if you talk to either one of them they are willing to sacrifice what little time they have left to love on other people. Thank you both for being a great example of the sacrificial love of Christ. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

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.

The Meyer Family has had A LOT of milestones in the last year and a half! I have photographed 2 of Joey’s brother’s weddings (here + here), his brand new niece, and now this sweet babe! I am so so incredibly grateful for families who invest in my work over and over again. Colton Joseph was just a smushiest little cuddle biscuit ever. He was so sweet and content the whole time, even though I was totally bugging him. You guys made a real cute baby!! Side note: How incredibly gorgeous is this mama!? Wow, Missy with the good hair, amiright?

   

Gabbard Family | Cincinnati Family Photographer

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!

Oliver Anthony | Cincinnati Newborn Photographer

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!

   

Hazel June | Cincinnati Fresh 48 Photographer

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sweet family. Lauren is an insanely talented photographer, she captured my own family photos last year AND she’s one of my studio mates. So, yeah, they’re a special family to me. Can you even look at sweet Hazel June without melting into a big puddle of mush? I sure can’t. She’s so stinking gorgeous.

While I was there to capture their sweet new family of four, big brother Everett came to meet his baby sister for the first time. As with most toddlers, he wasn’t immediately smitten with her like we were. But he came around… those kisses may have come with promises to go see his grandparent’s chickens.

 

Fellows Family | Cincinnati Family Photography

You guys, prepare yourselves for the most beautiful, happiest, most entertaining extended family ever. Ellen contacted me and asked me to shoot her little family and then add in the grandparents + aunt, uncle, and baby cousin. I don’t shoot very many extended families but if they were all like this one I sure would! I had a great time getting to know you a little bit and hanging out with all the crazy fun little boys!
