2020 was the year of unique names; say hello to Georgina!

Newborn Brother Cole | North Bloomfield, OH

The Bilas’s are one of my regulars. I photograph them every year, not usually for the same reason; birthday and family sessions have been what we did in the past, but in 2019 we changed it up a little. This year I got to see them twice! Once for maternity pictures and then again, just this week, for their sweet new boy’s newborn session.

A Flu and Germ Season PSA

All of the stressors listed above are already weighing on new parents’ hearts about where to go and where not to go for the holidays. Throw a baby into the mix and it’s possible to desire spending Christmas at home, even more so. A common cold can be deadly to a child, but especially to babies under 9 months old or immobile babies. You know, that baby that we hold and squeeze and kiss and coddle… THOSE babies do not need to be at the holiday dinner or the family gift exchange, and the new parents do not need peer pressured with a guilt trip or any sideways comments to be present.

Squishy Newborn Baby Harper | Lordstown, OH

Marie requested a rustic look and a few specific poses, as well as mentioning an adorable nursery theme [keep reading to find out what it is!]. Harper’s parents, also, put work into having meaningful and sentimental images from their session… They brought Kevin’s childhood stuffed puppy, Marie’s coming home blanket from when she was born, her wedding dress and a handmade lovey from a friend. These items made my first session in over a month that much more exciting!
