One of the biggest questions I receive from my new clients is how to prepare both mentally and physically for your our in-home newborn session. Newborns are unpredictable, and you’ve already got so much on your plate when baby arrives that I want to help ease any concerns you might have about welcoming a stranger […]

My approach to photographing your family is a little unconventional. I hinted at this a little bit in last week’s post, but the pressure of getting family portraits taken can feel overwhelming sometimes. It’s fall and among the list of obligations you’ve signed on for, there are also a few things you’d like to do. […]

Why do I love mini sessions? The kids are running around the house, half-dressed. My 3 year old is asking for snacks and my five year old is refusing to wear the bow I so carefully chose to match her dress without being too matchy. My husband is changing a diaper and I am re-thinking […]

After a few years of scouting Cincinnati family photo locations, it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I have been finding myself gravitating more and more to the same spots. There are already plenty of decisions you have to make when you’re getting your family ready for portraits. It’s hard to choose where to do […]

Maternity photography has always been one of my favorite sessions to conduct and in Cincinnati we have so many wonderful outdoor places to go. Places where we can get that beautiful glow, while also allowing for kids to run free and capture their wild spirits. A Poem for these times “Many a questioning, many a […]

Northside, Cincinnati When I arrived at the Stark home in Northside, Cincinnati this past winter I was blown away by their beautiful, renovated Victorian home. As a newborn photographer, I have the privilege of being welcomed into so many people’s homes. The home was beautifully restored-the stained glass windows and exposed bricks had me swooning. […]

Being an in-home newborn photographer, you never know how the lighting is going to be in someone’s home, but I loved everything about this bright, sun-soaked session in Hyde Park, Cincinnati. Lighting can be tricky, especially in old homes. However, for Ava’s session, the sun really poured in. Ethereal sunbursts greeted me instead of the […]

My nephew turned five this month. Five. It’s such an important milestone. Being able to say you are one “whole hand” old. On the cusp of being independent and yet so much to learn.
