Beautiful Baby “J” / Dayton Ohio Newborn Portrait Photographer

Meet the adorable 12 day old baby “J”.    After having to reschedule session after session with him… (first an Ohio blizzard, then my getting horribly sick… UGH) I thought he might be in high school by the time I arrived!  LOL… But alas, I made it and he was even more perfect then I imagined… :)

Yes, still alive and kicking over here!

I’m not sure I realized JUST how long it had been since I blogged!  Woopsie!

HEY!  Speaking of kicking!  ;)

I had the awesome opportunity to photograph one INCREDIBLY gorgeous pregnant lady this year… who just so happens to be a very talented photographer herself and a dear friend of mine.  And hey!  SURPRISE SURPRISE …she didn’t have the baby before her session!  Yes, that happened to me WAY too many times last year! LOL!  I was starting to get worried I would never see another pregnant belly in front of my lens again!  LOL!  B.. you are gorgeous!  And I can’t wait to meet that little peanut soon!  …and I am going ON RECORD here!!!  I do believe it is going to be a GIRL!!!!  :P

A few announcements…

My new portrait site is finally up and running!  Woohoo!  I will be adding a few more images and hopefully a product gallery soon.  After careful consideration, I’m very happy to announce that I have restructured my collections for 2010.  Thank you all for the wonderful feedback and suggestions received in 2009!  I think you will all be very happy with the changes made this year. :)

FEBRUARY IS PRESENTLY BOOKED!  However, I will do my best to make exceptions for any newborns that are due in February or for those who have already arrived and are under ten days of age.

Things are off to a bang in 2010 and I am already very excited for the weather to start warming up so we can all finally get outdoors and see some fabulous sunshine for a change!

I have been photographing this next family for a number of years now but I must admit, I was really looking forward to photographing them inside their GORGEOUS-GORGEOUS home this winter… :)

I also have to mention that I don’t typically shoot with an assistant but, there was one tiny exception that day….

and um… the way she was “meowing” all those orders at me and everything…

it totally left me wondering just WHO was in charge!   She was pretty cute though… ;)

These boys, they just keep getting more and more handsome… watch out Mom and Dad…  you are going to need one GIANT padlock to keep all those teen girls from knocking down your door over the next few years!  :)

And last but, certainly  not least there is the adorable “H” family…

A whole lot of cuteness was stuffed into this tiny package… I wish you all could have seen this little guy sleep… one of the cutest things I think I have ever seen and incredibly entertaining!  I almost tried to sneak  him home with me inside my camera bag!  Not sure Mom and Dad would have let me get away with that…  I think they were pretty attached to the little guy… ;)
