This sweet family of five just returned from living in Geneva, Switzerland for a few years. They are now back in Cincinnati living in temporary housing while their gorgeous new home is being built, and just couldn’t wait to squeeze in a session before their baby turns one year old. I’m so glad they didn’t hesitate! We had the most fun session, and I adore the images we documented of all three kids. This first photo is the very first one I took of our summer evening session. Yes, this baby was simply tickled pink to be placed in the thick soft grass. Of course at that moment, I knew we’d have a good time together and hit it off.
The older brother and sister had fun running around playing together too. This whole family was so good to each other, it was a joy to be around them all. I just love their happy little faces!
Here are some sweet black and white ones of the littlest sister. She was all over the place exploring the grass, my camera, mulch, and anything she could get her tiny hands on. I loved her energy and spunk and go-with-the-flow attitude. What a sweetheart! I am so glad we got these baby portraits in before she starts walking and becomes a full-fledged toddler. There’s nothing quite like the first year of life.
We ended the night with a splash in the baby blow-up pool and a few cool treats of popsicles. And, it was mommy’s birthday, which made it all extra special. Thanks L family for having me over. Your full gallery will be finished this weekend!

Upon entering this family’s house just before Christmas, I fell in love with all their holiday decorations, burning fireplaces, and huge 16 foot tree. I knew this was a fun, festive family who would be a joy to spend the morning with. And I was right! We had a ball with the three sweet, kind, and playful kids. (Well, the oldest is more like a teen, but he was super cool and really didn’t seem to mind playing with his siblings for a few shots.) Yes, they were all so wonderful. We started the morning focusing on just the littlest guy then moving into images of all three and finally ending with the sister showing off her pink room. From the big round eyes of the baby’s face to the sister’s shy smile to the oldest initiating games and fun, we documented special moments for this very special family. Thanks for a great day.

Little miss c was such a kind host at her house for our session the other day. She allowed me to photograph her doing so many fun things — from swinging on her new swing set to running in the backyard to jumping in the leaves to dancing in her room and to top it all off, having a tea party in the backyard. Whew! Yes, this toddler is busy, busy, busy! Luckily, I was able to keep up and snap some adorable images of this little lady. Thank you i family for a wonderful session!
What fun to spread out a bright, orange blanket in the grass and enjoy a tea party. Oh, to be two again!
Mommy and daddy are so tender with their sweet little one. I loved documenting the special bond they all share.
Thank you again i family for the relaxed atmosphere you create — it makes for perfectly beautiful, natural images. It was so wonderful spending the afternoon with you! And happy early birthday to you too miss c. Enjoy the celebration!

The early evening sun filtered through the trees and placed specks of light onto the gravel path. It was a glorious day’s end, and I was able to spend it with this beautiful family. Our time together just warmed my heart. All family members were so at ease with one another and simply enjoyed each other’s company. It was as if we were at a family gathering and I was the one who had the honors of documenting the day. I guess in many ways, that’s exactly what it was. Everyone joked, laughed, danced (well, the kids anyway) and was light in spirits. Thank you to this big family for being yourselves and for allowing me to capture the relationships among each of you.
