I photographed adorable 6-year-old McKenzie at the beautiful Wade Lagoon by the Cleveland Museum of Art. So fitting for a sweet but mature girl.
Doesn’t this look like a fountain you’d find in Europe? Not what people usually think of when Cleveland comes to mind.
These geese – and their babies! – loved McKenzie (The piece of bread a nice man gave her didn’t hurt, I’m sure.):
And I love this shot of her (aren’t her eyes stunning?):
Happy (belated) 6th birthday, McKenzie!

It seems there are themes for my Cleveland trip subjects… February was filled with a bunch of adorable 6-month-old baby boys (like Nathan, Alexander, and Rafi). This May’s sessions were jam-packed with one-year-old girls! I love photographing babies around their first birthdays – so many photo-friendly milestones (walking, clapping, playing, and generally doing more on their own) as well as lots of expressions and activities to capture. Don’t get me wrong, I love the teeny ones, but it was a fun change of pace to work with mini girls.
Chloe was definitely no exception. This little munchkin is full of smiles and sweetness. She loves walking with the assistance of her parents (she took her first steps on her own just after our photo shoot!) and playing in the grass (a new activity!). And her toothy grin is so, so precious.
Here’s the preview of Chloe’s session.
Adorable family:
Practicing her walking skills:
Those eyes…
And one last shot of some fun time with her mama. Apparently eating hair is funny!

Happy first birthday, Sydney!!
If anyone read my last post, they might be wondering if I’m accidentally repeating myself… but nope, this is another Sydney, also a year old, and actually a friend of the other Sydney!
I photographed this munchkin for the first time in August when she was about three months old. Now the little one is a year old, running around on her own, laughing up a storm, and making funny faces for the camera.
Here are the preview photos…
Look at this expression!
Playing around with her mama:
Snuggle time:
And one last shot:

I can’t believe little Sydney is going to be a year old this month… Last year around this time, I was photographing her scrunchy, tiny 2.5-week-old self (check her out!), and now she is a grown-up one-year-old.
I’m sad that I will be missing her first birthday party, which sounds like it will be one fit for “My Super Sweet First Birthday,” if such a show is ever made.
But we did get a session together this May in honor of her first birthday, and here are some previews…
We squeezed in a family shot before focusing on the birthday girl:
And now just Sydney…
Playing on her swing set:
This shot I like alone:
Look at that amazing dimple:
Some lounging poolside:
The mini aqua-ballerina:
And one more shot of this edible one’s sweet face. She has the model look down…
Can’t wait to photograph Sydney as the years go by (but not too fast, please)!

I met little Olive a while ago – She’s in E’s playgroup, and she’s also been in Carolyn’s Kids class at Alexandria School. We set up a shoot for this May for Olive’s one-year photos, and I thought it would be perfect to use the Cleveland Botanical Gardens as a setting… sweet little girl, spring, flowers, plants, butterflies…
Well, Olive has a new-found fear of plants. Check out the poor girl’s panic here:
So no more plants.
Koi pond and stone, good:
In Mom and Dad’s arms away from the swooping butterflies, jungle-like vines, and scary flowers, also good:
Family time on a well-manicured lawn is also nice:
And a deck and backdrop of fake flowers are just great:
I love Olive’s scrunchy sweet smile and amazing blue eyes – and those cheeks, sheesh. Too much!

I met Elliott last summer when he was just a little peanut in Carolyn’s Kids class at Alexandria School in Solon, OH. I finally got the chance to photograph him last week, and wow is he scrumptious. I had so much fun capturing his sweet self, and I hope these preview photos do the little guy justice.
Check out this mini model with his hair blowing in the breeze:
And some swinging:
A couple of black and whites:
And lastly, a couple of closeups that just shout “boy” to me:

I photographed 2.5-year-old Graham on a rainy day this week. His mom had smartly thought to get him an adorable umbrella, which he loved – and it made for really cute photos. Phew!
Here are some preview shots…
Before we went outside, we took some photos in his playroom. Here he is looking very blue-eyed and handsome:
The boy is on the go, leaving his cute chair behind for the moment:
Outside with his parents (and baby sibling-to-be!):
And finally, Graham with his awesome umbrella:
Looking forward to meeting the new addition to the family soon!

Apparently I’ve missed photographing little ones, because I’m having a tough time narrowing down the shots for posts… Oh well. Lots of photos again.
I’ve posted about Summer before. She’s the daughter of our good friends Steve and Karin. We hadn’t seen her in a while, and she is growing up fast – talking, laughing, dancing, and just generally being a really cute 18-month-old. Since we didn’t get to do a real photo session during our last visit (was it really 35 degrees?!), we took the opportunity to try it out again. This time, it was about 90 degrees (where did spring go??), but at least it was sunny and Summer could play outside.
First, this adorable girl in her super-cute summery dress:
Summer has so many precious and hilarious facial expressions – happy waves, tongue-out-in-concentration, big-toothy-grin, pure joy, lower-lip-stuck-out-in-confusion, etc. Check them out in the many shots below.
Gathering some fun things to take outside:
Out in the yard now, playing with a drumstick (Summer’s random choice), a coffee pot (J’s also-random choice), and the beautiful flowers:
I felt that this one should stand on its own – so girly, so springy/summery:
And some cuteness with her mama:
Family time:
New outfit, new toy – bubbles!!
Lastly… Bye-bye from Summer!
