A Gift for Omi - Family Photography

This Mother’s Day, I was honored to assist a friend in creating a beautiful gift for her sweet Omi. Oma or Omi means grandmother in German, and my friend credits her caring grandmother with raising her to be the woman she is today - and I can say as her friend, she is a phenomenal mommy, so her Omi should be very proud.

For this session, my friend and her children wore authentic German clothing from her Omi’s hometown of Berlin. These are outfits they wear every year when their family attends Oktoberfest activities here in the states. The most special part of all? My friend actually wore the outfits her children are wearing when she was little! For Mother’s Day, she was able to print these pictures and present them to Omi side-by-side with photos of herself in the outfits as a child. How special and unforgettable.

I LOVE family history, so if you have a family heirloom or location that you’d like to capture in photos, please reach out to me. I’d love to help you create these timeless memories!

We are slowly creeping back into the warm weather! Nights are longer, and Golden Hours are upon us! I love doing outdoor photo shoots, and this one with Kelly and Bennett was my first of 2019. It is best to do outdoor photography early in the morning or an hour before sunset. Contrary to what one may think, a sunny day is not ideal for photography, and the mid-day hours aren’t either. I met Kelly and Bennett in the morning to capture a few “mommy & me” style shots to commemorate the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The love these two have for one another was evident through their smiles.

Skylar is just the cutest! She was so smiley and content with her little leaf. It’s so cute to watch babies marvel at the simplest things as they see our world for the first time. She played sweetly enjoying her first Fall. I hope her parents can cherish these pictures forever.

Nothing like a fall photo session on a sweltering, humid 80-some degree day! Lucky for us, there was a cool breeze coming off the water, and a light sprinkle in the air. Miss Ava and her parents were such troopers with their beautiful smiles - you’d never know it wasn’t actually “sweater weather.”

This session was so much fun - and my first ever in the snow!  This mother son duo were dressed perfectly for the weather, and were so much fun.  My favorite part was seeing how much this little boy genuinely loves and admires his mama, even giving her a kiss on the cheek without being told!

The Y Family was excited for their session at the Cranberry Schoolhouse, all decked out for Christmas.  The kids were full of energy, which luckily for me, came through in their photos with some sweet smiles.

It was a pleasure working with this adorable family.  They had an unusually warm December day for their session at Blueberry Hill Park, which was perfect for little Miss Teagan to practice her walking, and show off her baby blues.

This beautiful family looked perfectly festive for their Family Mini Session at the Cranberry one-room schoolhouse.  Not only are the children adorable, but they were well-behaved and sweet, as well.  Santa will surely be making a stop at their home.

It finally feels like Fall with crunchy leaves on the ground and cool breezes in the air, so my requests for Family Portrait sessions are stacking up!  I was so excited to capture this adorable family during their Family Mini Session last week.  I loved the cool colors they chose for their session!  I've known this momma literally since she was her son's age, so it was wonderful to see her again and meet her husband and sweet baby boy.

I usually photograph young families; babies and young children really make you work for the shot, and I enjoy the challenge, but every once and while I get the pleasure of photographing older kids or young adults.  As much as I love the little ones, it's refreshing to give direction to older kids who can understand it.  

I've known this mama for many years, and I so enjoyed reconnecting with her to take photos of her beautiful family!  You can tell these kids were raised with a lot of love.

It was great to meet the Stirling Family for a winter Family Mini Session at their beautiful home.  Belle was so sweet smiling and sticking her little tongue out for the camera.  Poor thing wasn't too thrilled when we brought her outside for a minute, though.  Belle will be celebrating her first birthday next week, and then on to Christmas!  What a fun month for this family.
