Amelia | Columbus Children’s Photgraphy

It’s always an amazing feeling when a couple who’s wedding you photographed calls you back years later to photograph their new additions.  Amanda and Ben welcomed baby girl, Amelia just a few short months ago, and figured it was time to update her photos!  Here are just a handful of favorites from our session…

Did I mention her blue eyes???  

Amanda, thanks so much for bringing her in to document the 6-month milestone!  It was great to meet her, and to see you again!  :)  Can’t wait to share the rest of the photos with you very soon!

Emma’s First Communion

Forgive me,  I’m going to get a little personal for a moment.

Last weekend, our little Emma received her First Communion.  She’s spent the better part of the school year preparing for the sacrament and when the day came she was ready.  She’s really something…  it’s not at all uncommon for me to hear her singing “Gloria” in the shower. Truth be told;  it was her innocent, childlike grasp of faith that led me to my own.

Yes, the parish had a photographer on hand that day to document each Communicant and that was truly wonderful, but I really felt a need to capture Emma myself.  I wanted to capture not only the rare occasion when she wasn’t wearing black leggings and a Big Time Rush T-shirt with her hair pulled back in a messy ponytail…  but to also capture her spirit and the quiet reflection in her eyes just before taking this big step in her life.

So with that in mind, here are a few of my favorite photos from the day before her First Holy Communion…

And just because she’s Emma…  
… And just so the mood doesn’t get too serious here on the blog, I wanted to also share a passage from one of my favorite books, Angela’s Ashes that shaped my belief of how a first communion should go.  Click here for a great read, and a good laugh as Frank McCourt recounts his first Holy Communion…

 

Brittany and Chris | Columbus Maternity Photography

It’s hard to believe that 4 months have gone by since Brittany and Chris’s big reveal back in January!  Their little princess is due in just 48 days, so before she comes we took one more opportunity to document Mom and Dad as they await her arrival.  Here are just a few favorites from the session…


Brittany and Chris…  I’m so excited for you two, and for Kaitlyn’s arrival!  Can’t wait to show you both the rest of the pics!:)

Brittany, it’s been an honor to be able to document this chapter for you and Chris. You were such a natural with caring for our kids, you are going to be a phenomenal mom to Kaitlynn. :) I can’t wait to meet her!

Sydney and Family | West Palm Beach Family Photography

Meet Sydney!

She’s a doll of a one-year old, and I had the honor of photographing her along with her parents during my recent trip to the sunshine state!  Instead of a beach scene for their photos, they opted for something with a little more color so we headed to the beautiful Mounts Botanical Gardens.  Here are just a handful of my favorites from our session that day…

Sydney has the most amazing big brown eyes, no???  
Seriously… aren’t they just a great looking family???


A little time with Mommy…
… And a little time with Daddy…
And since it had been a while since Mom and Dad had any photos taken of just the two of them, we made sure we got a couple of those too…
And this was just too perfect not to share here…  :)  Little Sydney looking like such a big girl with Mommy’s shades and pink cell phone!  Adorable!  
Paul and Holly, Sydney is precious…  so glad I finally got to meet her!  :)  Thank you so much for the honor of capturing your beautiful family!

Bradley | Jupiter Children’s Photography

I’ve blogged before about how I love when I get to combine my passion for photography with my love of travel, so when I went to visit my South Florida family last week, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph a few children and families while I was there! I’ll be blogging each of the sessions individually, but the first session up is little Bradley’s! You might remember Bradley’s mom and dad from their Fourth of July themed wedding back in 2009… Well, they were blessed with a baby boy 18 months ago!

This was the first time I got to meet little Bradley, and what a cutie he is! Check these out…

Right out of the gate, this boy stole my heart with his curls…


Love the hat, Mom!:)
Seriously… he is one adorable kid!

Be still, my heart…

And just one shot with Dad on the beach…
Brent and Leaha, it was so great to get to see you again, and it was so awesome to finally get to meet Bradley! Thanks so much for having me document this milestone!:)
