The C. Family {Family Photographer, Cincinnati, OH}

It's always special when I get to photograph the same family year after year.  Mrs. C was actually my very first client years ago - she hired me to photograph her two boys back then (#3 hadn't arrived yet!).  She also helped to jumpstart my business that year by referring so many of her friends and family.  Needless to say, I owe her a lot!

The C. Family met me bright and early one morning in downtown Glendale for a family portrait session.  If you're looking for a great alternative to your nearby park for pictures, I highly recommend downtown Glendale.  Also, prospective clients take note!  The C. family was styled really nicely with coordinating colors for this shoot.

The K. Family - Candids at Home

My adventures with the K. family continued when I stopped by their home around lunchtime one Friday.  I love the pictures that I captured of the kids... comfortable in their house, with their toys, just being themselves. Their mom loves black and white photography (and I do, too!) so I'm posting a few of my favorites from our impromptu session.

Me : "What's your silliest face?"  Results below.

The kids insisted on this picture.  Where did Ellie and Blake go?

And here is their baby sister, Josie.  Just taking it all in - she'll be running around soon, too!

The Three Amigos.

Tickles for Josie!

Check out those big eyes!

They look very similar to her big brother's!  I love this picture, by the way.

Dr. Ellie showed me her stethoscope, then used it on her #1 patient, mom.

Prognosis: healthy & having fun!

Thanks again for your hospitality!  I had lots of fun :)

The K. Family Portrait Session

The K. Family just might be one of the sweetest families that I know.  And lucky for me, this is the second time that I've gotten to photograph their growing family!  Since seeing them last year, they have added a beautiful baby girl, Josie, to their family.  It was fun to see how much their other two children had grown over the course of a year, too.  I keep telling them that I need to take parenting lessons from them, as their kids are some of the nicest and most polite kids you'll ever meet. :)  I think that shows through in the photographs below.  Enjoy!

(Becky and I share a love for black & white photography, so I've included a lot below!)

Meet the K. Family!

This is their youngest daughter, Josie.  I love this photo!

And these are their other two kiddos, Ellie and Blake.  They are SO sweet with each other!

Blake has a cute personality - he loves to be SILLY!

A hug for mom.

...and a hug for each other.  

Loren brought along his guitar.  I may also need a guitar lesson on the day we do our parenting class :)

And last but not least, check out this chic little outfit!  Adorable. :)

Thanks again to the K. Family for inviting me over to capture your beautiful family!  It was a lot of fun.  And thanks also to Becky's parents for allowing us to use their gorgeous backyard as a backdrop.  Hope to see you all again, soon. 

The Kirk Family

I met the Kirk Family at Sharon Woods several weeks ago where we threw around a football, played in the leaves and generally just enjoyed the beautiful fall weather.  They are such a sweet family and I think it really shines through in the photographs.  Here's a brief sample of some of the pictures I captured that day!

I'm starting off this post with my favorite picture from the day.  Love this little guy!

The fam. :)

Who's ready for some football?

I love this time of year.  Fall is in the air!

A little tickling always makes for some cute shots.

We've had such a dry summer that they were actually able to sit in this creek bed!

I absolutely love these next two.  They were some of the very last pictures of the day.

Thanks so much for spending your afternoon with me.  I had a lot of fun and I hope you did, too!
