Akron Photographer | Baby M’s Newborn Session

February 22, 2020

Welcome Baby M to the Akron photographer blog! Oh my heavens, this little lady! This sweet girl came in for her newborn session at just over two weeks old.

We had scheduled M’s session for the week prior but her family was sick. Her momma was nervous that she would not be cooperative since we were a little outside the window that we aim for newborn sessions, but this sweet girl did amazing!

You guys, it is February in Akron Ohio. The germs are out of control right now. We do our best to limit it but things happen! My schedule is flexible for a reason, don’t sweat it. And I always ask that if someone is sick not to come into the studio (myself included). While I bleach everything no matter what, we want to keep it a clean, healthy space. I’m so happy that everyone recovered!

Enough of that tangent, on to the sweet baby pictures! I love being an Akron photographer, newborn photography is seriously one of the happiest jobs ever.

Family photos are a must for newborn sessions. And this silhouette is a client favorite request! How sweet, simple and timeless is this?

I love how tiny Baby M is in her parents hands. It really puts in perspective just how little she is!

Momma’s only request for her Akron photographer session was pink. I think we achieved a sweet, simple, girly look! The beanbag poses are always my favorite- so simple and timeless.

Clearly, these girls have some gorgeous genes. I loved meeting Miss M’s sister! She is SO happy to be a big sister! These sibling photos are some of my favorites of all time. Gosh, I wish I had photos like this of my own girls. Melts a momma’s heart.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Are you looking for an Akron photographer? I would love to be yours! Please check out the newborn portfolio. If you love what you see, you can schedule your session here.

Pregnancy Pictures | M’s Maternity Session

February 18, 2020

Oh my goodness, you guys! This momma to be came in for her pregnancy pictures at 38 weeks. TWO weeks away from her due date! Do you know what I was doing two weeks from my due date? I was eating Oreo’s in my sweatpants looking like a hot mess and feeling good about it. Y’all, she puts me to shame.

But enough about me. Seriously though, this momma is stunning. I’m so glad that she decided to do pregnancy pictures and that I was the lucky maternity photographer to do the session.

I love a backlit image, especially for a maternity session. It gives the pregnancy pictures a heavenly glow. This light and airy feel is perfect for such an amazing time in your life.

Waiting on your first child, is there anything more magical? It is a time filled with great excitement and expectations. I really wish I had photos like this taken when we were expecting our first. It really is a time of wonder in the waiting period.

Silhouettes are a pregnancy picture must. Pregnancy really is beautiful isn’t it? The human body is an amazing thing, how we can grow new life and our bodies adapt and mold just so?

This little girl is going to be so loved. I could feel that in my short time with these parents to be. This little lady will be here in just days, how exciting!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Are you expecting a little one and are considering having pregnancy pictures taken? I would be so honored to be considered! Maternity photography is a favorite of mine!

Please check out the maternity portfolio. If you love what you see, you can schedule your maternity studio session here. Have questions? I’m happy to chat with you!

First Birthday Photos | Miss B

February 13, 2020

Welcome Miss B’s first birthday photos to the blog! Ah, this little love stole my heart a year ago at her newborn session. It seems like yesterday she snoozed away her session and gave me the best cuddles. Fast forward a year later and well, let’s say there was absolutely no snoozing or snuggling. We did, however, eat cake, take a bath, and chase her all of the studio. Miss B isn’t walking, she’s running y’all. Cutest little nugget I ever did chase, that’s for sure.

For her first birthday photos, we did a bee themed cake smash. Well, it is super fitting given her nickname. And Medina bees. Let’s just say we all need some sunshine in our lives this time of the year in Ohio and Miss B certainly did give us some sunshine. Red hair included.

We had the best time getting this set put together, crafting (when we have the theme early enough) is our favorite! Megan put together these incredible bee hives and let’s just say I can do anything that involves a hot glue gun and flowers. The result? One of my favorite sets to date. Such a happy little set!

If you eat cake face first, you are my kind of gal. Miss B, I knew we would get each other. I swear she posed perfectly, cake topper in hand and all. How adorable is this cake from A Cupcake A Day? The honey dripping off the side is amazing.

The best thing about these first birthday photos? Miss B’s personality shines through! In. Every. Single. Photo. I love her spark!

After you eat cake face first, what’s better than a bath? Miss B loved her bath time! It adds a fun touch to first birthday photos.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog! Do you have a little one celebrating a first birthday soon and are interested in first birthday photos? I would be so honored to document them! Please contact me today to discuss scheduling your cake smash session.

Cleveland Baby Session | Baby H

February 10, 2020

Welcome this sweet girl to the Cleveland baby photography blog! My goodness, what a dream she was for her newborn session! Not a peep out of her. I had a difficult time narrowing down the photos from her session to put on the blog.

Momma brought in this outfit for Baby H’s newborn session. Football is a big part of their life too, I love this combination. You guys, girls can be girly AND tough. While you do not have to bring anything for your Cleveland baby session, I am happy to incorporate anything that you do bring with you.

Sweet and simple set ups like this one that bring all the attention onto the baby are always a favorite. How gorgeous is this headband from Poppy and Cy? Her gorgeous creations always sell out SO quickly, I was thrilled to snag a few new headbands to add to the collection.

Babies in buckets will also always a be a favorite! Honestly, it is just a classic. How cozy is Miss H?

Creams, whites, and pinks were requested for her Cleveland baby session. Momma requested this floral tieback, Miss H can make anything look good. How gorgeous is she?

Florals were also a request and hello, you have come to right place! Love me some babies and flowers.

While mom and dad were not thrilled about getting their photos taken, I did convince them to take one. I know it isn’t the easiest time to get in the photos. So if you don’t do it for yourself, do it for your little one. Someday they will love having photos of you and them together. Promise.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Cleveland baby photography blog! Are you expecting a little one and considering hiring a newborn photographer? Please check out the newborn portfolio. I would love to be considered in your search for a Cleveland baby photographer!

Akron Baby Photographer

February 5, 2020

Welcome Baby N to the Akron baby photographer blog! My goodness, this sweet girl has grown so much since her newborn session! I was so excited to see her for her sitter session, her newborn photos are some of my favorites.

One of the best parts of sitter sessions? Gummy smiles! And thigh rolls! Okay, there isn’t one best part. These sessions are seriously the sweetest part of being an Akron baby photographer!

Baby N’s momma requested a fruit bath and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, what’s better than strawberries and roses?

This was her first taste of strawberries, her reaction was pretty priceless. Not so sure about this new taste! 😉

Not to worry, she recovered quickly. Gosh, I love my job. Babies are seriously the best. You can’t have a bad day!

All those little details are always some of my favorites. Babies change so quickly! Hold onto these tiny details mommas, they are fleeting.

And baby tushies!

Fruit baths are great addition to any milestone session. What baby doesn’t love to splash in the water and eat? They are always super cute and fun set to add to your Akron baby photography session.

We used this heart bowl in Baby N’s newborn session, so it is a fun comparison to how much she has grown. Isn’t it incredible how much babies grow in just six short months?

Her newborn photo in this heart is currently hanging in the window display of the studio.

That’s a wrap! I loved catching up with this sweet gal, her momma, and older brother yesterday. I seriously get the best clients!
