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:

Becca and Olive

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 photographed little Ben, one of E’s playmates, during this past trip to Cleveland. We’ve tried to set it up the last couple of times I’ve been there, but I think this was perfect timing – 10 months is a really fun age. He is such a happy little guy, full of expressions, and so sweet.

Here’s a family photo of Ben with his parents Ali and Brian. He can barely contain his excitement!

And one with their beautiful (and a little intimidating) German Shepherd, Layla, who loves Ben:

Showing some love for the Buckeyes, his parents’ alma mater:

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:

Graham

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!

The reason for the timing of this visit to Cleveland is that Jonah, my brother-in-law, was graduating with his MD, PhD from Case. Connie, the subject of this photo session, was also graduating with her MD, PhD from Case and wanted some portraits to commemorate the occasion – We didn’t realize until after planning our session that Connie and Jonah are good friends. Small world. And Cleveland is even smaller.

Although most of my portrait sessions are of children, I love working with adults as well, and I felt honored to capture the culmination of such impressive hard work – what an achievement…

Here is Connie (MD, PhD) looking very educated and pretty:

And here are the two 2010 grads of the family:

And the whole crew:

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

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:

Summer

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:

Summer

I felt that this one should stand on its own – so girly, so springy/summery:

Summer

And some cuteness with her mama:

Family time:

New outfit, new toy – bubbles!!

Summer

Lastly… Bye-bye from Summer!

Here comes a super-long post (of lots and lots of photos)…

I’ve been excited to take photos of my photographer friend Holli since I heard she was pregnant. First of all, Holli is beautiful (yep, inside and out). Second, she is incredible (generous, sweet, funny…). And third, her family is also both of those things.

Well, the opportunity for maternity shots came and passed, and now little Ava is here. So this weekend J and I finally got to meet the 6-week-old peanut and play with big brother Mason. 🙂

Now for some photos!

First Mason played around in the pool on the very, very hot day:

Mason

…While Hol and Ava had a little moment. (“Wake up, Ava. You have guests!” Nope, nothing. Out cold.) Check out Ava’s adorable Mohawk!

Holli and Ava

So we brought her inside for some beautiful sleeping shots…

I love, love, love this one:

Holli and Ava

And maybe this one, too:

Holli and Ava

Okay, so they are good models. I sort of love this one, too…

Holli and Ava

And some other super-cute ones of these super-cute girls…

Hol tried to get some with Ava’s eyes open. Didn’t happen.

Holli and Ava

Maybe this?

Holli and Ava

Okay, Ava, you keep sleeping. (How sweet are these…? And Holli’s eyes – forget about it.)

Holli and Ava

Her eyes are open (sort of)! Could this little girl be any more precious?

Ava

Yes, she can, here: (one of my favorite teeny baby shots)

Ava

Time to put some clothes back on… and be awake for just a minute.

Ava

Now Kevin’s turn to get into some photos:

Holli, Ava, and Kevin

Too adorable…

Holli, Ava, and Kevin

Time for Mason to take off his water wings and get in on the love:

Mason

Snuggle from his mama – those eyes…

Holli and Mason

He is so, so sweet to his baby sister…

Mason and Ava

And lastly, tiny baby feet:

Ava

Oh – and a couple Holli took of me and the munchkin (thank you, Hol):

It’s 2am, and I’m stuffed silly from a really delicious and fun Passover seder…

So just a quick post of E at the Dead Sea – and yes, it looks like it could be one of many bodies of water, but note the floating man in the background of the left-hand shot:

YAY! I can’t believe we are a few hours from being en route to Israel. We haven’t been since 2007, and this time, my sister, brother-in-law, and little E are temporary residents – and we’ll all be staying together in our own apartment in Tel Aviv. I am craving that energy of Israel as well as the 24/7 time spent with my family (yep, that’s right) and the two-week vacation I’m so ready for.

Before I go, I’ve been wanting to post some photos from the Stulberg family session (i.e., my sister’s in-laws, although that sounds like they’re more removed from us than they are). We’ll be seeing them in Israel in a few days!

Warning – it’s a long one…

First, I cannot wait to squish this guy tomorrow:

E

and these three Tel Aviv-ians:

Jonah, E, and Dana

Grandparents Bubbie and Zadie with grandsons Nathan and E:

Bubbie, Nathan, E, and Zadie

And just Zadie with his boys (who appear to be annoyed by each other):

Zadie with E and Nathan

And check out Zadie with the boys at one and two weeks old.

And Bubbie:

Bubbie with the boys

And her photo with the newborns.

Ben and Nathan:

Jonah and E (in the I’m happy! Hand – must – go – in mouth pose.)

Jonah and E

And E loving Uncle J’s Sox hat (which is coming with us to Israel):

Uncle J and E

Some love from Uncle Ben (hee – love that E has an Uncle Ben and an Uncle Sam):

A snuggle from Bubbie:

And lastly, because I want in on the love, I’m reposting this shot of me and E:

With E

Next post will be from Tel Aviv!
