I recently posted a preview of siblings Sophia, Ava, and Thomas’ session. I’ve finally gone through all of their photos and have a bit more to share.

Sophia (5) and Ava (2) have an adorable playroom with the best in girly activities. After some posed portraits, they played a bit while I snapped some shots, and they immediately went into tea-party zone. Then they baked cookies. They are very good at both. And amazingly cute all the while.

Thomas’ recent birth (he was 3 months in February) was the impetus for the shoot, so here’s a sampling of Tommy-focused photos: (The ones of Cassie kissing him and the girls tickling him might be my favorites.)

Tommy and his ladies

And a couple of the little guy on his own:

This expression is heart-melting:

And one last photo of the group:

I absolutely loved meeting this family – Hope to see them again on a future trip to Cleveland!

Marcia’s Birthday Family Session – Preview – Cleveland Photographer

This was my biggest family shoot yet. I’ve photographed little Brian many times before, starting from when he was 6 weeks old (!!), but I haven’t gotten the opportunity to capture him with his parents, let alone the whole family! (Will post some prior photos of Brian one day, hopefully not too far from now.)

This session was particularly special because it was a birthday gift for the kids’ grandmother, Marcia. She and her husband Richard, along with their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, got together for a family portrait session of 9 people – a tricky feat without a studio or access to the outdoors (it was snowing)… but we definitely made it happen. I lucked out with this bunch.

This family is so easy-going and was a lot of fun. I hope Marcia loved the birthday session – and the photos that come from it! Here are just a few.

Marcia and Richard with the three very loved little ones, Cadence, Brian, and JT:

I am in love with this next photo, not because of my skills but because of the fact that Marcia and Richard are giving their grown boys (very grown – these guys are giants) bunny ears:

The whole nine:

One last preview photo, this one of the lovely couple on their own:

What a special way to honor a birthday, and I had so much fun photographing them and being part of their celebration.

Sophia, Ava, and Thomas – Preview – Cleveland Photographer

Almost all of my sessions in Cleveland were of one baby – and sometimes the parents. While I love focusing on one child, with his/her individual personality and intimate relationship with mom and dad, it’s also really fun to photograph siblings/cousins. They are of course so comfortable around each other and are often pretty funny – and sweet.

This session was of three siblings – Sophia (5), Ava (2), and Thomas (3 months). The kids are adorable, and the whole shoot was so much fun – cooperative, super cute kids, a fun, easy-going mom, a beautiful house… what more could I ask for?

There are lots of photos from this shoot that I’m still going through, but here’s a three-image preview.

Seriously, look at these little ones… I am obsessed with the girls’ haircuts. And I want to fold up the couch and take it with me to future photo sessions:

Cassie and her baby boy, Tommy, who has ridiculously long and dark eyelashes:

And the adorable family (minus Dad – hopefully we’ll get him next time!):

More to come – some of just the girls, a few family shots, and portraits of the little munchkin.

Jack, 7 months – Cleveland Photographer

It’s a very proud feeling to receive holiday cards with photos I’ve taken on them. I like knowing that I’ve had a hand in capturing people’s families and children in a way that makes them think, “Yes, this represents us well – let’s send this photo out to our world!” Puts a big smile on my face. 😀

So I was very happy when Jack’s mother Katie told me they used my photo for their holiday card this year, and, like Lily, the card reminded me to share photos from their shoot. Jack and his parents, Katie and Josh, were such a fun family to photograph – Jack had such a great time chilling in the leaves. He was a sport the whole time and waited until we were completely done before announcing he was hungry. 🙂 Thanks, Jack!

Here are my favorites:

It never failed to make Jack laugh when his dad said, “Good morning!” in a sing-songy voice. Apparently Jack loves the morning!

Jack in the grass

Tummy time didn’t last long, but I think he looks adorable laying amongst the leaves:

Jack - tummy time

Time to get up! Josh looks on as the smile-master (my silly noises had nothing on “Good morning!”):

Jack standing

Love a baby in a bucket! Jack loved it, too, once there were leaves inside that he could munch on. And check out that adorable fuzzy hair!

Hanging out with his mama (and giggling at Josh again!):

Jack and Katie

First time down his slide – ever!

Some family photos:

Christmas outfit time!

And Moose joins the family photo. Jack was clearly more interested in Moose than me and my crazy faces and noises:

And one last photo of Jack ready for his first Christmas, stocking in hand!

Merry first Christmas, Jack!

Lily, 15 months – Cleveland Photographer

So I received a holiday card yesterday that is the inspiration for this post. I photographed Lily this fall in Cleveland, and her parents used some of the photos for their holiday card. The whole family has smiles that melt your heart, and Lily is one of the cutest little things I’ve ever met. She was such an adorable model and loved all of the great toys her mom had brought out for her (and outfits!). There were so many fun toys and clothes that I had to include a bunch of photos… Overall a really great shoot – so happy to have met these three!

Patrick, Suzann & Lily

Just look at Lily with her pet lion, Beaumont (hope I’m spelling that right). She *loves* this guy (and all things safari, apparently). I have to admit, he sort of frightened me when I walked in their door… He’s BIG!

Lily & Beaumont

She’s also a big fan of her huge red ball that she can barely hold onto.

Lily & her red ball

This sort of reminds me of Kim Anderson‘s style – not that I am anywhere near her caliber. My sister had some of Kim’s prints in her room growing up, so there’s a bit of nostalgia when I see it:

Lily with her pink hat

Lily with flowers

And just check out this giggle! She actually reminds me a lot of our friends’ little one Summer in this one (photos of Summer to come soon). They both have similar enormous happy grins.

Lily laughing

Then we had some fun with bubbles. I *heart* bubbles for photos.

And now for Lily in one of the cutest outfits ever (and I love that it’s so girly yet NOT pink!). She absolutely loved the jewelry Suzann let her play with (her wedding pearls – generous mom) and her “pocka” (“pocketbook,” a word she picked up from her “fancy” grandmother).

Lily & her rocking horse

The gorgeous shoes did not last long. She works much better barefoot.

Lily's bare feet

And she sure does love herself some George time. I hope she meets a man one day (like in 20+ years) that can light up her eyes like George can!

Lily & George

And look how sweet she is to all of her animals. The hippo got a nice ride on her rocking horse. Note her “pocka” being toted around.

Lily & hippo

And as our session came to a close, Lily peered out the window at her red ball that we forgot outside (and yes, she’s still holding onto her purse:

Thanks for a great shoot, Lily, Suzann & Patrick!
