Willoughby Ohio Lifestyle Family Photos

When this family asks me to photograph them for their annual Christmas cards, I say yes every time. I mean, just look at these photos. Jeffrey is the cutest, smiliest little guy alive. They're always so happy together. And they can make 30 degrees with no coats look really, really warm.

That photo up there on the right is hilarious to me. We were trying to get a couple photos of Matthew and Jen by themselves but Jeffrey wanted to be in on the fun too, so he squeeeeezed himself between them. See below for what transpired. Hahaha!

Penitentiary Glen Reservation Family Photos

This was the third time I photographed Peyton and every time it gets more fun. She blossomed in front of my camera the first couple minutes of the session and then she was ON. This little lady is so adorable and so full of personality. This is why I love photographing children … they hold nothing back! Wear fairy wings? She was all over that. Run through the woods? Heck yes. Act goofy? Do I even need to ask? :) Enjoy my favorites of this newly turned 3-year-old!

Fairies get tired too. ;)

Baby Mila | 6 Months

Ohhhh, this family has my heart. Melissa and Michael were one of my first wedding clients in Cleveland, and they are just the kindest, most down-to-earth people. I've always loved them. And then. THEN! They had a beautiful baby girl. Just look at little Mila. It goes without saying that she is the happiest baby with the best sense of humor. I think babies can have senses of humor, right? This little lady laughs at everything, and she especially thinks her dad is super funny. Melissa and Michael are smitten with Mila, and I had so much fun documenting their love for each other a few months ago.

Heather of Fair Rarity made some gorgeous floral crowns and headbands for little Mila. She's like a tiny, laughing goddess sitting in a field down there.

You guys are beautiful! :)

Peyton & Family | Squire's Castle Lifestyle Photos

Meet Peyton. She's 2 years old. And she's the cutest ballerina--or 'rina as she calls it--I've ever seen.

I met Peyton and her mom and dad at Squire's Castle one summer morning. It was the perfect background for some fun lifestyle photos.

What a cutie! This is a favorite. :)

Peyton blew lots of bubbles. And then chased after them ...

Actually, that one up there on the left is my favorite. Like girl, like dog. ;)

Thanks for hanging out, Peyton! I had so much fun with you. :)
