Red Truck Mini Sessions | Fall Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County Ohio

Nothing says fall like brightly colored leaves, crisp air, apples and a bright red antique truck! My red truck minis this year were so much for the fall season and gave my clients a little something different this time. The red truck was decked out in pumpkins, pillows, mums and blankets, the perfect set for some quick fall photos. My special mini session are only held a few times throughout the year. They are usually a special themed event such as red truck, pumpkin farm, local park and Christmas tree farm. They are special since I usually bring more props and decor with the shoot along with a special theme. If you are interested in future mini sessions please reach out for my newsletter as most of my minis sell out each year through email alone.

Happy Fall~

Always worth the wait | Newborn Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County, Ohio

“Always worth the wait” is saying it in simple terms once your bundle of joy has finally arrived. Those 9 months of worry, waiting and anticipation quickly fades away once your sweet little one is place in your warm arms. Newborn photography has quickly become a favorite of mine over the years because of 4 children of my own I understand how quickly those younger (and exhausting) years take place. Honestly, a newborn only seems so itty bitty those first few weeks of life and before you know it they are a month old. A lot more alert, moving and possibly keeping you up at night;)

In regards to newborn photography I do offer a full signature session and my petite newborn session. My most popular package is by far the signature full session. This session is 2 hrs and takes place in my home studio. Due to Covid I have taken extreme caution and sanitation measures in order to keep everyone safe. With the full session, I recommend the photos take place within the first 2 weeks of life. At that age its easier for me to sooth and calm the back to sleep which is needed for some newborn posing.

If you are interested in scheduling a newborn session, please reach out for more detailed information.

Cleveland Newborn Photographer | Simply Beautiful Newborn Session

This sweet little angel came into the studio and was so fun and easy to work with from the very beginning. Its often hard in Newborn Photography. I plan my day and hope for the best transitions from pose to pose but its always the baby who will set the tone of the day. Luckily this little lady was nice to me and had no problem falling back to sleep.

What can you expect from a Newborn Session with me? It is very laid back and often times I like to begin on the newborn beanbag and capture those “white” images that many parents have been falling in love with lately. These simple yet beautiful images capture the timeless and beauty of the newborn without flashy colors or props.

Those two things just aren’t my style. I prefer the more the classic look so parents can look back at these photos some day and say “what were we thinking!” I want parents to look back and say what a beautiful baby our child was.

After the simple white photos I usually allow the parents to choose what wraps, furs or baskets they would prefer for their newborn. If the baby is fussy this is a great time to capture mom and baby or baby with the whole family.

A Fall Family Session at the Hapersfield Covered Bridge

The beautiful fall colors paired with a covered bridge might just be my new favorite location for fall family photos. I was asked by the S. Family to take their family photos at the Harpersfield Covered Bridge. The bridge is located near Geneva in Ashtabula County.  As soon as I drove through the bridge and saw the beautiful water, trees and falling leaves I knew this would soon become a special place.  The more I talked with the S. Family I began to learn how this place held a special meaning to them. They spoke how their grandparents would visit here often and they even had an oil painting of the bridge hanging in their home. My goal was to re create those images and memories the best I could with the covered bridge. The bridge dates as far back to 1868, when it was first constructed. I greatly enjoyed my time with the S. Family, they all were so much fun to be around and make some memories together. Here are some of my favorites from our time together.

The Magic in the Golden Hour

The magic of the golden hour... Even though I don't live in the beautiful Outer banks  area of the Carolinas, this place can create some magical photos. Plan a visit to the Headlands beach during the late summer months, an hour before sunset and you will find some breathtaking backdrops. Headlands is located in Mentor, OH Lake County and is the longest natural beach along Lake Erie in Ohio. What exactly is the "Golden Hour"? It is typically the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer. Its during this time that creates a beautiful golden glow in your images. The beach boasts natural sandy, golden rod beach grass and beautiful lighthouse. This is the perfect package to create stunning family photos.
