Headed to Cleveland to kiss this man today:

Going to try to stay warm (or at least not lose a finger), photograph a bar mitzvah and some other fun shoots, and play with E… will be back in the warmth soon!

Nolan is one of my regulars – So much fun to see a family every few months… watch the baby steps (literally).
Since Nolan’s almost-one-year shoot was too summery for a holiday card feel, we met again in November to capture the season… and to finally get some family photos!

Here’s another of the trio that I love – they’re so happy (even whilst fighting colds):

Love the sheer excitement in this one. Why do babies love being scared so much?! (Or am I just projecting because I know being tossed in the air would freak me out…?)

His eyes are ridiculous! Like a crystal ball or something – They’re very magical.

Last one of the little guy munching on some bark… 🙂 Doesn’t he look like he knows he’s doing something he shouldn’t be…?

Merry almost Christmas, Nolan, Kari, and Kevin!

Backtracking to a few more November shoots from Cleveland…
Hayden was almost a year old when I met and photographed him, and this little guy could easily be a model. His expressions, his eyes, his wispy blond hair, those cheeks… I could go on and on.
Can you stand it?

And here he is being amazingly happy as his parents, Amy and Matt, look on proudly:

Another one of my favorites – such a perfect fall moment, makes me miss living in it:

One more… I love a happy swinging toddler!

I still haven’t posted from some of November’s Cleveland shoots, so I’m trying to catch up!
Evan turned one in late October, just a couple of weeks before our session, and he is scrumptious. He’s the cousin of Ben, whom you may recognize from a recent post and a couple others. Evan, like his cousin Ben, has an awesome personality and was a great model (even though he kept yawning – and he had just woken up from a nap! I’ll try not to take it personally, Evan!!). He was so relaxed and easy-going and let us traipse around town, posing at different spots. And to top it all off, we were pretty sure we heard a first word: “Ball!”
So cute:

And having fun with his parents:

One last shot – I love this one of Evan and Stacey:

Sydney is no stranger to my camera. Here she is at 2.5 weeks, 5 months, 8 months, and almost one year.
We did a fun New Year’s holiday card this time, but that I’ll save for another post. Here’s a peek at some of my favorite shots of Syd’s fall session. It’s so warm and cozy, especially that family snuggle shot…

I hope everyone had a happy, yummy Thanksgiving! I’m still in a food coma, I think…
Ben is such a happy-go-lucky guy. During our last photo shoot, when he was 10 months, he just grinned and sat contentedly. This time, he braved the cold and enjoyed watching the ducks and picking up leaves. 🙂 And he posed so happily with his adorable hat and blazer (maybe it was the wild kids taking a blow-up boat out on the pond that had him so entertained):

And my favorite family shots:

Actually, this might be my favorite. How cute is this moment?

Happy holiday weekend, everyone!

We almost canceled this shoot because little Rowan had a bit of a cold, but I’m so happy we went through with it! These three were so much fun and ridiculously adorable… and other than a sniffly nose, Rowan was a champ! They have spunky personalities and were great models on their own and together. Couldn’t have asked for better!
The kids played on the beach (still can’t get over that there’s a beach in Cleveland) in the fall sun… so beautiful!

I feel like you can’t not smile at the sight of these three happy siblings:

We also did a “precious parts” series of little Rowan. It must’ve been a funny scene, us trying to get him to show off his little body parts, but he was a great sport! I loved his mom’s idea of having him hold a toy that he likes – illustrates a bit of his personality. 🙂

I haven’t seen Jack since he was 7 months old (almost exactly a year ago). This year, at 19 months, he’s turned into a kid! – running around, laughing, pulling his wagon, attempting to play football with his dad, and very, very attached to his Elmo. He still has a super cute smile and the softest, fuzziest hair you just want to rub.
Here’s Jack with his parents, Katie and Josh:

And toting around his friend Elmo and an empty wagon:

Chilling and grinning in the wagon:

I had to include this one, too. It amuses me. 🙂

Merry *second* Christmas, Jack! So fun to follow little ones as the time passes… and a bit sad considering how quickly it all goes.

These brothers are so, so cute and fun. Alexander is 3 and of course full of energy. He could’ve bounced on his mini trampoline for the entire session, had we not wanted some other shots! It reminded me of when our buddy Danni would jump on our bed for hours, yelling, “I’m jumping! I’m jumping!” Tireless, those guys!
Here’s the bouncing boy:

And his 6-month-old brother Oliver having fun on the swing:

We managed to get Alexander to sit still for a few minutes to pose with his brother:

And lastly, the boys snuggle with their beautiful mom:
