Baby Harper | Poland, OH

Harper was such a strong willed little babe the day of her session. Mom and dad said that preparations for the session went unbelievably well and they were looking forward to how sleepy she would be for her session. Well, despite coming in sleepy, she spent nearly 2 hours cluster feeding and complaining about me. After a little over 2 hours into the session I asked Harper if we could just be friends and explained that I’ll win any fight she wants to pick. She needed a whole pose to think over what I said, and then decided it was best for everyone to listen. ;] Little girl fell asleep two and half hours into her session and then she let me do anyyyything I wanted with her. I got so many great poses for the end of her session; it was pure magic.

Wildflower Field Lifestyle Session | Bristol, OH

This is your season of life, one year olds don’t smile on que, toddler boys don’t sit still, toddler girls have attitudes [or is that just mine?]. A perfectly curated photo hanging on your wall will look great today, but let’s be real, a drool covered baby, laughing in pure joy because you’ve pinned him with tickles is so much sweeter to keep forever.

Simple Baby Boy Session | Boardman, OH

At 15 days new, Dario came to see me for his newborn session. BK and Bianca were nervous that their little guy would put up a fight for his session. Bianca even doubted the session would happen at all! Dario doesn’t cry much, but he’s great at complaining with his little baby grunts. He never really fell into a deep sleep, so any time I changed his wrap he was sure to tell me all about how I was disrupting him. But he was sleepy enough to relax into his poses after I got him wrapped up and cozy, and he and I got along pretty great during the session.

A Romantic Stroll through Fellows River Side Gardens | Youngstown, OH

I’m so beyond happy for Cory and Bobette! Bobette always adored my children. She would let me go on and on to her about their silly comments or milestones and joyfully listened to me even though she was in a different season of life. I can’t wait to watch her fall into motherhood, meet her [nameless] little girl ;] and listen to her stories!
