Delaware, Ohio Family Photographer: Fun Photos with the "C" Family

Winter came a little bit too soon this year! So, my session this past weekend with the "C" family - Lindsey, Jon, and Hailey - had to take place mostly indoors. In fact, on my drive to their house, it was a blizzard-like condition out! But, the snow cleared for a few quick outdoor photos at the end of our session.  I hope you enjoy seeing how much Hailey has grown up over the past two years! I love when I get to work with clients over and over again.  You may remember the beautiful fall colors they had for their session last year. Hailey is a big girl now, with pigtails! Enjoy all her cute expressions!

She sure loves her Elmo, so he HAD to be photographed! :)

Silly girl!

I ADORE this photo!  :)



Darling family photo... love the neutral colors.



Even Ginger posed very nicely for a family photo!  Hope you enjoyed the preview! 

Delaware, Ohio Family Photographer: The "E" Family at Carriage Hill Metro Park

The weather this weekend was beautiful for photos!! I was excited to catch up with the "E" family - Kimberly, Pete, Wyatt, and Gracie - for their annual family photos. This time, we went to Carriage Hill Metro Park. It was sooooooo beautiful there by the lake. Case in point, below!  Kimberly always does the best job picking great photo spots in Dayton.


We spent most of our time around the lake area.  Then, we headed towards the little primitive houses.  It seems like that area was a photographer's paradise!  They closed the gate early, so we just grabbed a few shots outside of the barns.  Enjoy the photos!


I cannot believe how big Wyatt has grown.  Check out these images from our first session together in 2009!  And, Wyatt was still so little at our session in 2010 at Young's Dairy.  I think both of those sessions were terribly cold and windy; then we had a nice, warm session at Wegerzyn Gardens in 2011.  And, last year's session was at Aullwood Audubon Center.  I was very warm at our session this year!  I love this fall weather we're having!

Delaware, Ohio Pet & Family Photographer: Heather & Scamp - The Sweetest Doggy Ever!

Welcome to my FAVORITE time of the year! I think this is always my clients' favorite time of the year, too, because this is when business tends to pick up! And, every fall I always enjoy working with some of my regular clients. Scamp and Heather are two of my long-time clients. I only see Scamp once a year, but we're old friends every time we get together for photos. He has also adopted a two-click rule: after two shutter-clicks (photos), he thinks he gets his treat. So cute! :) I think I got some great smiles from him, as always. And, Heather looks great in the purple! I love jewel-tones. Beautiful color with the fall backdrop.

The photos were taken at Highbanks Metro Park - my favorite fall spot. We had to get creative with the shots because doggies are limited to certain areas of the park. Thanks for trusting me to take you to a new location, Heather! Enjoy!



Pretty, pretty colors!






Such a handsome man!  He is ready for Christmas!  :)

Delaware, Ohio Children's Photographer: Brooklynne is 6 Months Old!

I am quickly realizing how time flies when you become a new parent. Your children can sometimes seem to grow overnight. In fact, my son grew this weekend, and now he's a big kid, he says! One day they just do something they never did before, then they do that everyday from then on. This week, my son learned to blow raspberries and bubbles. Charming, right? :)

I'm sure parents Steph and Tim feel the same way about how their little Brooklynne has grown over the last 6 months. Even I can't believe how big she is. It seems like just yesterday was her newborn session.

Enjoy these photos of little Brooklynne from this weekend.  I'm sure she'll be so much bigger the next time I see her!



Such a happy girl!! :)




Super cute!




Puppy love!


I know there were two other "babies" in this family before Brooklynne came along! :)

Delaware, Ohio Children's Photographer: Meet Colton!

This weekend, I was very excited for my session with the "C" family. One year after I took Cheri's maternity photos, I finally got to meet the little man who was in her belly - little Colton.  And he is so stinkin' cute!! :)

Thank goodness it finally stopped raining and "warmed up" a bit for their session. Enjoy the fall family photos of Casey, Cheri, Colton, and Toby at their home.

Delaware, Ohio Pet Photographer: Harrington Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween from the Harrington Family! Our family has changed over the past year, and will continue to grow in 2013.  Enjoy the photos from this year's Halloween photo session with the "kids." This year, the stars are Clyde and Maverick!

Mavoo is a fierce lion!  Roooarrrr!


And, he is also DINO-MITE! :)

Clyde does love dress up!  He is a happy T-Rex.


They can both be charmed by dog treats! :)

And, for those who think my pets are such angels... this is how it really went down!
