Sophia’s Newborn Session

Cleveland Newborn Photographer

Welcome Miss Sophia and her family to the Cleveland Newborn photographer blog! My goodness, these sweet little girls were like a flash back for me to when my girls were little! They are two and a half years apart just like mine and gosh, they are just so gorgeous! Sophia’s momma does photography as a hobby, so I was so honored that she allowed me to capture this special time in their lives!

My goodness, all that dark hair and those long lashes! They are one gorgeous family, aren’t they?? Like most toddlers, Sophia’s big sister was pretty hesitant to participate in her sister’s newborn session. A little coaxing later, how sweet is the result?? I know as a momma, this image was most important to me to get. So have a little faith, I will get it for you!

Sophia is a spring baby and even though it has snowed more than it does most places here in Cleveland this spring, we had to incorporate some florals. After all, it is April, right? Mother nature sure has not gotten the memo but that’s okay. It’s spring in the photography studio! My goodness, that sweet smile! Babies, florals, and smiles. I am in heaven!

Oh those little lips! You know how much I love neutrals, right? This floral crown from Baby Bliss Props is so perfect for this set. Sophia’s momma requested everything floral, so I had a lot of fun with her session!

Emily’s Studio Maternity Session

Emily’s Studio Maternity Session

Studio Maternity Photographer

Welcome Emily to the studio maternity photographer blog! My gosh, isn’t she simply stunning?? Jaw dropping in fact. But my friends, it’s okay to still love her because she is so sweet!

I loved meeting Emily at her maternity session! We had a lot of fun playing dress up and creating some timeless images for her to remember her second pregnancy with. A year ago, studio maternity sessions were not my thing. But after learning from Alli from Glow Portraits, the studio has quickly become my favorite place to do maternity sessions!

This grey gown from Sew Trendy Accessories is the newest addition to my client collection of gowns. I love the color and shape of this one. And of course Emily rocked it, like she did everything!

This dreamy lighting is by far my favorite for maternity sessions. Light, airy, and classic are my jam, friends. How cute is this blouse from AR Backdrops? It looks a little scary on the hanger but I am so glad my clients let me talk them into it.

Emily brought some baby shoes to use during her session. I’m kind of obsessed with those tiny shoes, her baby girl is going to be one stylish chic!

Silhouettes are such a great way to capture pregnancy’s gorgeous shape. The intimate feel of these gives me all the feels. One day, Emily’s little girl will be able to see what she looked like in momma’s belly. How amazing is that?

The B Girls

The B Girls Session

Wadsworth Ohio Photographer

We have the cutest sisters on the Wadsworth Ohio photographer blog today! My goodness, their daddy is in trouble with these three beauties! I just could not stop gushing over them at their photography session!

The twins are about six months old and while I was scheduled to do their newborn session, they had a bit of a rough start. We decided to wait until everyone was doing well, so when they came in, I was thrilled to meet them! It was so difficult to know that one of the girls had an extended hospital stay. I cannot imagine as a momma having a child in the hospital that long!

Big sister was there for their session too! Isn’t she just the most adorable little girl ever?? She was so shy when they first came but eventually warmed up. Her smile melted my heart!

Oh these girls! They have such different personalities already, it is so amazing! One was on the move while the other was content to sit and play with her toes. Those gummy smiles and sweet expressions are nothing short of priceless. Don’t you just want to gobble them up??!

I get asked frequently about outfits for sessions. If your kiddos are coming to the studio and are three years old or younger, I have everything you need. All of these clothes are from my client closet, momma did not have to bring a thing!

Big sister’s dress is from Dollcake and the girls rompers are from Baby Bliss Props and Cora and Violet. I think it really puts the polished touch on the portrait of having nice, coordinated clothing.

Happy One Month!

Happy One Month, Baby A!

Strongsville Ohio Photography

Welcome Miss A to the Strongsville Ohio photography blog! My goodness, this little lady had the most gorgeous head of dark hair and the brightest eyes! It is not too often that I get to celebrate little one’s first month birthdays, I was so honored to do so!

Most newborn sessions take place within the first two weeks, while the baby is still super sleepy and does not mind being moved while sleeping. We can do sessions outside that timeframe, but the expectations for the posed images will change.

Since Baby A was outside that window, we went with the mostly swaddled approach while she was asleep. We still got some really sweet sleepy photos and amazing eye contact when she was awake!

Is it just me or do your kids look like this when you tuck them into bed at night? Miss A was all bright eyed and bushy tailed, she did not want to miss a thing!

Yellow is rarely requested, so when I get to pull some out, I get really excited. It is one of my favorite colors! I think people get scared away from using it because they are worried that it will be over powering, but I love the softest version of it.

This halo by Created by Carli tied it all together perfectly! Those little pouty lips and gorgeous eye lashes are everything. I love this image!

Even though we kept Miss A swaddled, we were able to still get a good variety of set ups in a short amount of time. She did wake up and stretch out as well, so her momma got a great gallery!

Waiting on Baby

Waiting on Baby

Maternity Photographer Akron

Welcome this gorgeous expecting momma to the maternity photographer Akron blog! I love maternity sessions and am so happy to do them in studio with the weather being so cold as it is! You would think mother nature would have gotten the memo about spring. But nope, here were are stuck in winter. Still. Sigh…

Typically, maternity sessions are done between thirty and thirty five weeks pregnant. It is perfectly fine to go outside this suggested range, as long as you are comfortable! By about thirty weeks pregnant, you are showing and are still comfortable (and hopefully not too swollen yet).

This momma was thirty five weeks along, which means about five more weeks until I get to meet her little guy! Yay! I love meeting families before they welcome their little one. It gives me the opportunity to get to know them and document such a special time in their lives. I wish I would have had maternity photos taken, sometimes you do not know how magical a time is until it has passed.

I’m loving the light airy feel of this maternity photography session! Back lighting is my favorite for studio sessions like this one. It gives everything a serine and airy feel.

This gown from Sew Trendy is so perfectly delicate for her adorable bump! Did you know that all of your gowns and outfits are provided for your maternity session? It is true! No need to worry about what to wear, I have got you covered!

I recently purchased some maternity blouses and love the more casual look of this one on her. I bet this little guy is going to be as stunning as his momma!
