A Year in Review | Northeast Ohio Newborn Photographer

Spring Family Mini-Sessions | Mentor, OH Photographer

I was going through some of my mini-sessions to post a sneak peek and I was finding it impossible to choose just one.  So impossible in fact, that it drove me to write a blog post!  And if you look over my blog, you know that the session must have been incredible since I VERY RARELY blog.

The session below was held at Garfield Park in Mentor.  I hear so many people say, what is so special about Garfield Park as a photography backdrop.  And the truth is, a photographer looks at things differently than those who aren't photographers. We can see amazing light when others just throw on some sunglasses.  We can frame a perfect shot where others see a bunch or trees or buildings or flowers with mounds of dirt on either side.  It doesn't take the perfect location to come out of a session with gorgeous images.  I've had clients follow me to a location which ended up being a spot on the side of the road.  I'm sure they were wondering what they had gotten themselves into until they were shown their completed gallery and all thoughts of a gravely road side stop had completely been forgotten.

I've photographed this family a few times now and they are the greatest clients.  Such a wonderful family and so photogenic.

I have been thinking of offering video collages of the images I've taken from a session.  The one below is from a client who purchased the baby plan and shows a whole year of growth.  It definitely needs some tweaking but what do you think?  Wouldn't it be great to pull out the video and watch it someday?

Hazel Mae Boutique | Vendor of the Week

I'm so excited about this week's Vendor of the Week.  Hazel Mae Boutique is one of my absolute favorite boutiques for beautiful headbands, hats, and newborn prop crowns.  I've used her headbands and hats in numerous photo sessions and she has made me custom items with short notice.  So not only does she sell beautiful quality items, her customer service it fantastic!

This adorable penguin hat was perfect for this little guy, whose parents are big fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

And the headbands.....just gorgeous!

She has something in every color you could want and even takes custom orders!

Here is a little bit about Hazel mae Boutique from the owner herself:

My name is Monica Price. I created Hazel Mae Boutique (March 2012) after giving birth to my sweet baby girl, Mya Hazel Price (7 months). She is my inspiration for every headband I make. I try to match most outfits out there by the color, so you can finish every outfit right!

I came up with the name Hazel Mae by combining my daughter’s middle name and my own middle name because they’re headbands for her, made by me! I have always been crafty (I get it from my mom!) so I decided after having a hard time finding any cute headbands that I could make them myself! So here I am. Mya now has way too many so I don’t know where to put them all.

I don’t just have the best little daughter one could ask for, but I have the best husband also! We have been married for almost 2 years (October 9th, 2010). Alan works full time, coaches Lacrosse and goes to school on Saturday all to make a better life for Mya and me, and so I can be the stay at home mom I have always wanted to be! He is my everything!

I hope you enjoy shopping at Hazel Mae Boutique, and hope you will tell all your friends about us!
