…from this little kitten and her cousin George (2.5-month old Maya-banana not photographed due to her sleeping through the photo session):

I got to meet scrumptious birthday girl Grace for my very last session of the Cleveland summer. Such a great family – not surprising, since they’re related to this crew (who was actually my first shoot of the trip!).
Happy belated first birthday, sweet Grace!

At the end of our summer in Cleveland, I finally got to photograph this bunch – E’s cousins and my pseudo-nephews, Nathan and Teddy.
Â

And one more shot, taken last fall, of one of Nathan and E’s classic bear hugs:

Sometimes I forget how nice it is to photograph slightly older kids (especially when they want to be photographed!) because I’m so used to working with babies and little ones (which I adore!). Meredith and Tess were so much fun at their session – as were their parents! Great sports and a really sweet family. 🙂

Another sweet family. Although Dylan may not have been super interested in posing for photos (not many 18-month-olds are), we managed to corral him so I could capture his handsome face… Beautiful big sister Vivian helped out, trying to get Dylan to stay put… The tug-of-war shot of the two kids is one of my favorites – such a sibling moment. 🙂

I could go on and on about this bunch. Then I’d get sad because they’ve moved to New Jersey. I’ll just say that this family is absolutely adorable, incredibly kind, and so, so loving. And I better get to see them again one day not too long from now. ♥

And I looked back on Lily’s first session and found these shots with her best buddy, George…

…and almost 4 years later, “Georgie” is still Lily’s favorite (along with “Ginormie Georgie,” “PJ George,” and maybe a couple others not pictured)… 🙂

Wishing Suzann, Patrick, Lily & Jack lots of happiness in their next chapter!

I feel incredibly lucky to have so many clients who have turned into friends, whose kids have become playmates for my T, who help me navigate the parenting path, and with whom I’ve worked year after year, following their adorable families as they’ve grown. This family is a perfect example of that, and I love that we went back to where we did Elliott’s first session 3 years ago, which now is pretty much my Cleveland studio. 🙂

Brian is 5 going on 20… He entertains me so much during his shoots. Just started kindergarten and already annoyed with school… would much rather spend time outdoors and with his cousins, finding slimy creatures and running around. I look at him in these photos, and I can’t believe how mature – and big! – he is (here he is at 2). And Molly, his baby sister, just turned one and is walking everywhere, not a worry in the world, following in her big brother’s footsteps with her seemingly endless energy to move. Love these two and their big, gorgeous blue eyes.

Taryn is one hilarious little girl – and such fun to photograph. Within a minute of starting our session, she turned on a huge, genuine, adorable grin, and a few moments later, she was cracking jokes and making faces. 🙂
