brian, marsha & bekah: cleveland ohio newborn photographer

I went to high school with Marsha and was beyond excited when she wanted to schedule a session for newborn photos of her sweet, sweet daughter Bekah.  This little one was so sleepy during the session and hardly fussed. Three outfit changes and some windy weather and she was still as calm as when we first started. Here's just a handful of the photos from our session - congratulations Brian & Marsha!

Outfit change number one...birthday suit.




Love it in B&W too.

That is one of the most amazing parts of my job - I am surrounded constantly by people who love each other.

autumn: cleveland ohio children's photographer

This little girl's name is Autumn and funny enough she was my first official fall session of 2010! Last Sunday we met up at Squire's Castle for a session and she was loving the camera right up until the last few minutes when she decided it was time to run and play :)

I learned a few things about her that day...she LOVES puppies. And there just happened to be a hundred + dogs at the park that day which she got a kick out of. She also loves to eat goldfish and used them to fuel her modeling energy. And last but not least, she will melt your heart. She warmed up to me so easily and was all about holding my hand, letting me hold her and playing with me. Ahhhh, it was a good day for sure :) Now, on to the photos!
