Sneak for Miss L! [Cincinnati Childrens Photography]

I was so excited to see this little munchkin again. She was one of the first newborns I did, and it's hard to believe she is now 14 months old. She is still so tiny but she had so much personality! I love this age, even though their goal is mostly to run from me. They rarely sit still and pose for what I have in my head, but the sessions always yield great shots that show their true nature. A treat to get to see you guys again, thank you!

Here's your sneak peek-a-boo!

Off the beaten path... and backdrop! [Cincinnati Lifestyle Photography]

Recently, I finished up a session for another favorite little guy. We decided on indoor shots because it was blazing hot outside (where is that summer now, by the way?). After we snapped a few on the backdrop, I was excited to switch it up and use his bedroom for the rest of the portraits. I was thrilled with the results and am happy to share this lifestyle session. Lifestyle sessions are exactly as they sound- no backdrops, no posing, just letting your family do their thing using your home as a backdrop. This style of photography is actually my favorite, because I think that these are the images that will mean the most years from now. For me, the fun part of lifestyle sessions is watching the kids smile and explore their own environment. Not to mention that this little man's bedroom is perfect... *I* want to sleep there!

Sneak Peek for the J family! [Cincinnati Family Photography]

I did this little guy's newborn session, so it seems hard to believe we just finished up his first year session! He made us work for smiles, but I love how much personality showed up in the final prints. Same as last year, big brother was the sweetest guy, always smiling and making a few faces that made me laugh. When I photographed him last year, I told his mom over and over how I couldn't believe how cooperative he was for a 2 year old, and this year, he was no different at 3! Sweet as pie and quite the little photographer's assistant, making wacky faces and noises to make the little guy laugh.
Enjoy, guys, and the rest will be ready soon! And by the way, as I was editing them, I just could not believe how much they looked alike! Amazing.

Sneak! [Cincinnati Family Photography]

Here's a sneak for the F family! This age is always interesting to me because babies are so aware and interested in their surroundings. I love watching their big eyes trying to figure out who I am and what am I doing in their dining room! I do love to catch a big smile at this age, but something about their wide eyes checking out the world interests me more, and I often forget that most parents are probably after a smile! This sweetie was definitely not sure what to think of me be she warmed up in the end. I think she's an old soul. Thanks again to the F family, and for being up for a change. It's always fun for me to get off the background and photograph babies in their regular surroundings, and as I thought, the ones of her playing on the blanket turned out to be my favorites. Your gallery will be ready soon!
