Have I mentioned that I love photographing newborns?  Here a few sweet shots from the first month of the year.  I have lots of newborns already on the schedule for the first six months of the year and I love each and every session.  If you are interested in a newborn session, don't wait!  I hate to have to turn people away for newborn sessions because they waited until the baby was born to try to schedule but unfortunately it has to happen some time.  I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Turning ONE is so much FUN! | First Birthday cake Smash | Lake County Ohio Photographer

I've been a terrible blogger.  I admit it.  But I've been very busy spending time with adorable babies this year.  Some of whom were celebrating their first birthdays!  With their first tastes of CAKE!!

 I really love it when I ask parents if they want to include a cake smash with their first birthday portrait sessions.  Because what is cuter than a baby digging into cake?

 Maybe twins digging into cake?  Or one twin digging into cake and one totally freaked out about frosting touching him!

 Every baby is different.  Some dig right in!

 And some are quite skeptical and don't give it a try.

 Most babies, even if they don't taste it, will get their hands and feet into it!

 And three babies and a cake....adorable!

 I love when they are all smiles!

Or when mom and dad join in on the fun.  After all, when you give a baby a whole cake, there is bound to be a bit left over to share...maybe even with your photographer!  :)

Happiest baby on the Block | Chagrin Falls, OH Baby Photographer

This little girly girl was napping when I came to her house and despite being woken up from her little snooze, she was all smiles!

Having fun with mommy and daddy definitely brought a smile to her face.

She was making all kinds of cute faces actually.  I love to capture those and put them in a storyboard.  I know I never wanted to miss one cute expression so this way they are in a little collage so you can see them all at once!

And Baby Makes Three | Wickliffe, OH Newborn Photographer

This little guy was one of the easiest newborn sessions I've had.  He was such a wonderful little sleeper and didn't mind being posed a bit!  We got the cutest photos from his session.  Like this one...

Seriously adorable right?  And this one...

Could he be more perfect in every way?!   And I love this timeless photo of him.  I would stick this one on canvas for sure.  He's just gorgeous!

And of course, photos of the new mommy and daddy with their sweet little guy.  Radiating with love huh?

Sweet Baby Boy | Mentor, OH Newborn Photographer

I LOVE photographing newborns.  Getting to see and hold these teeny tiny babies, so fresh and new and just beautiful!  The sessions take a lot of time, sometimes up to four hours, but the results are gorgeous.  Everytime I 'm editing a newborn session I see these photos and think ART!  I would stick this photo of this sweet little baby on canvas and hang it in my home and its not even my baby!  :)

Like this sweet little guy...

Beautiful huh?  Or this one of his sister giving him a kiss where he has a tiny little smile.  So precious now but imagine how precious it will be they are all grown up and have been lifelong friends and can look back on that day when he was only a little over a week old and she loved him so much already.  ♥

And I love black and white but a pop of color is so beautiful too.  Such a sweet little man in his colorful tie on the red background.

And of course taking photos of the newborns is amazing but I love the photos of the newly expanded family.  In this case, baby makes 4!

Talk about Photogenic | Painesville Twp Children's Photographer

I've been way behind on my blogging but I had to get some pics of these beautiful kids up!

This was the first time I used this brick backdrop...yup, its not real brick...and I LOVE it!  Looks absolutely gorgeous with the hot pink and orange!

 They were stunning in purple too!  What great kids and what a great family!

Celebrating an Anniversary | Wickliffe Family Photographer

Saturday I got to spend a few hours with a friend and her husband and their sweet little ones.  They are such a nice family.  Lisa and Bryan were celebrating their anniversday and Lisa had the wonderful idea to have family portraits done on the bridge where they had their wedding photos taken in Colby Park.  So romantic!  I wish I could post the wedding photo but believe me when I say that they haven't aged a bit.

I wish I could say the same for my husband and myself as we have been married almost as long as them.  It must be that they have such sweet, kind, and peaceful children (my kids don't have a calm bone in their bodies which accounts for the bags under my eyes and graying hair).

 
I rode to the location of the shoot with them and the little girl asked if I could ride in the backseat on the way home.  ♥♥♥  So adorable!  Thank for letting me take your family portraits guys!
