I adore this sweet, gentle, scrumptious boy (and his parents aren’t so bad, either). ♥

I love photographing this family so much. I met them when I was a teaching assistant at Brenan’s preschool. He wasn’t even 3, Rylee was a toddler, and they were two of the sweetest and cutest kids who had ever crossed my path. Luckily, we’re sort of neighbors, so I have gotten to see them here and there as they’ve grown up – still such good kids and so much fun to be around. Then I got the chance to photograph them when Steph was pregnant with Mac and again after he was born… Another crazy cute kid – handsome, yes, but also shockingly well-behaved (he’s 3 and was so cooperative!) and really sweet. And my little T’s huge crush. (Uh oh.) ♥
They’re such a great team and an absolute pleasure to photograph.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I’m feeling very thankful for having such wonderful clients who keep me loving what I do and for being able to have a flexible work schedule that allows me to spend a lot of time with this face:

…and so, so grateful for the vivacious toddler above, my loving husband, supportive family, and super awesome friends. 🙂
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving/Thanksgivukkah!

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

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 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. 🙂

Sweet little Leela is 18 months old. This age is so fun (challenging, too, of course) – lots of chatting, playing, dancing, hugging, snacking, toddling… Personalities really start to burst through, and Leela is so super cute.
