Brenden | Ashland, Ohio Newborn Photographer

2010-03-09T04:57:10Z

Brenden had the chubbiest, sweetest cheeks I have ever seen! He is such a beautiful baby and was wonderful to photograph. I really enjoyed meeting his big sister too! She was so fun to talk to while Brenden was being fed. They were such a wonderful family!

I was able to try out one of my new props. While I like it in studio, I can’t wait till the weather is nice so that I can take this outside and use it to it’s full potential!

Lyla | Ashland, Ohio Newborn Photography

2010-02-05T16:52:46Z

Lyla was the last of my little girls this week. She is such a doll, but did not want to sleep for me. Finally, when she did fall asleep I had some techincal difficulties with my lights. While it wasn’t the easiest session I’ve done, she was completely worth it and I got some awesome shots! Her big sister Elyse was such a great helper and just as cute as could be. Thanks Rick and Cheryl!

Zoe | Ashland, Ohio Newborn Photographer

2010-02-05T16:40:35Z

Little Zoe had lots of really soft hair! I just loved it. She was such a sleepy little one and it made my job a lot easier. I almost felt a little spoiled, lol! Her mom and grandma drove almost an hour so that I could photograph her. I felt so honored. Thank you, Leslie and Sam. Zoe is such a lucky little girl.
