Delaware, Ohio First Year Photographer: Marilyn's Cake Smash!

This morning, I had a cake smash session with little Marilyn, and her parents Sarah and Daniel. You may remember Sarah and Daniel from a few years back... I photographed their wedding at Bowling Green on June 25, 2011.  And, their little Marilyn came as the best anniversary gift ever last year, on June 25, 2013.  So happy anniversary and happy birthday!

They are the sweetest couple!  They live in Texas and flew to Cleveland to see family for Marilyn's first birthday party this coming weekend.  I feel so honored that they made it a priority to come down to Delaware to see me for her one year/cake smash photos!  It was great to see you guys again and to see how your little family has grown!  I love getting to photograph former wedding clients' new families.  :)

Enjoy Marilyn's "before" and "after" cake smash photos!

Marilyn's Mommy sure picks out cute outfits and accessories!  (And, maybe her Daddy helped, too...?)  :)

My son clearly had awesome toys that were a big temptation.  I think the rings are her favorite toys!

All hail to the birthday princess!

I just LOVE this photo.  Daniel picked the pretty background from my collection.  I love how the color looks with her outfit!

Time for some cake...

Just a little taste...

So funny! :)  Silly girl didn't like the taste of the cake or icing!

This is her, "I've had about enough of this!" face! :)

Delaware, Ohio Family Photographer: The "S" Family Grows with Love!

It's hard to believe that "baby" Nicolas is close to celebrating his first birthday already! It seems like I just took his maternity and newborn photos! (Click the links to take a look back.)  I know that baby's first year flies by - I just experienced that myself, but time needs to slow itself down already! Nicolas is just the cutest little thing... I could pinch his little cheeks all day long! Enjoy the photos of Nicolas and his family! Everyone looked so great in the photos! He has two proud big sibs - Sophie and Keegan, too, and obviously his parents - Beth and Chris.






Big sis Sophie was great at posing! :)



Big brother Keegan was looking handsome!



Sibling love! They posed like this on their own!






The boys!



The girls!



And, two great family photos!

Delaware, Ohio Family Photographer: Meet the "G" Family

Last weekend, my cousin Ben brought his whole family into town from Wyoming. We had a wonderful party where we all got to catch up and got ALL of the kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids together on my father's side of the family. That made for some hilarious photos with 11 little ones!  Anyway, Ben's stepmother Mary (my aunt) was brilliant and requested that I get a few shots of the family together. We snuck out for a few shots at Brukner Nature Center in Troy. Enjoy!


The whole family - Mary and Mark, and his son Ben with Adrianna, and their kids Christian, Brianna, Alexandria, and Dariusz.



Meet Christian!

Meet Dariusz... he kept giving me this sweet face and smile all night long... (I think he likes me!)
