Dayton, Ohio Newborn Photographer: Baby Kaitlyn

This weekend I also had the pleasure of meeting another new little one. Meet Kaitlyn Elizabeth! She was only 10 days old when I met her for her first big photo session. You may remember her mommy Erin, who was a bridesmaid in Nicole and Allen's wedding! So glad you contacted me to capture the memories of your newborn. Congratulations to Erin and Rob for a BEAUTIFUL little girl. I was so impressed with how they seemed like parenting pros already. Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Mommy and Kaitlyn... how precious!

I love to see Daddys and their little girls!

If only I had an angel wing prop (note to self). She looks like a little angel!







This is her "Enough with the bright flashing lights, lady!" look.

Kaitlyn was awake for our entire session, but I think we wore her out. I hope she slept through the evening!

This is my FAVORITE! Rob is a firefighter, and I think it's so sweet to see such a delicate little one cuddled up in his uniform... so safe and cozy!

One more of the feet, just because I loved the perfect heart Rob made with his hands.

Thanks for inviting me into your home to meet your precious daughter! I can't wait for more photo sessions to come!

Dayton, Ohio Newborn Photographer: Baby Keegan

Hello 2010! I know I've been pretty scarce in the blogging world over the past month. But, I've been quite busy behind the scenes getting Harrington Photography ready for a BIG 2010. I've already been booking sessions and weddings well into the summer. I'm so excited to see what this year brings! And, I'm happy to announce that I just launched the first ever Harrington Photography (full-color) Ordering Catalog! I am eager to share that with new clients.

One new big theme this year is... NEWBORNS! I already know of four babies born just this week and several more expected for next month, and several more later this year. I can't wait to share the photos of all of them with you in the upcoming year. So, let's start with photo session #1 of the new year!

Meet Keegan Christopher. Congratulations to Chris, Beth, and big Sis Sophie!! Keegan is quite possibly (okay, definitely!) my smallest client yet! Keegan was only 5 days old for our session today. He is just SO tiny! But I'm sure he will grow a ton before the next time I see him. I'm sure you remember super cute Sophie from the past year. We watched her grow from a newborn into a gorgeous little 16-month old. And, boy how she has grown in just the past 5 days. She is now a big sis! How cute is this???

She thinks Keegan is "her baby" and tries to be a big helper. Her little hand was patting his shoulder the whole time... too adorable!

Then, I think I captured Baby's First Smile!!

My favorite image... I was laying on the floor with Keegan taking pictures, and big sis was wondering why the camera wasn't pointed on her for the first time ever. So, she did what she could to get attention. And, it worked! I couldn't have posed her more perfectly! She completely mimicked Keegan's pose!!

Beth had told me he hadn't screamed like this since the hospital. I have a way of bringing that out in babies. And sometimes the bear hat will do it.


I love little wrinkly feet!

What a cutie pie!
Thanks Beth, Chris, and Sophie for letting me come see Keegan so soon! He's adorable and I'm sure it will be a ton of fun raising him and Sophie together.

Columbus, Ohio Photographer: A Year in Review

Happy New Year blog! 2009 was an awesome, busy year. My business (and I, as a photographer) grew so much over the last year and I look forward with great anticipation for what 2010 will bring. I know there are definitely some new little ones on the way, and some great new marriages beginning. I can't wait for all of it!! I'm going to enjoy some peace and relaxation here in the first few months of the year, as I cut back on my day job (sort of!) and spend more time focusing on my business/hobby/passion. I know this summer and fall will be a busy one again.

So, as with tradition, I reflected back on the past year, and here is a tribute to all the great people (and pets!) whom I met over the past year and had the pleasure of doing business with.

Enjoy!! And THANK YOU!! Keep an eye on the blog and website for updates and changes to come in the near future!
