I've gotten to photograph Miss Gabrielle since she was born, and let me tell you ... I adore this family. Cedric, Karla and Gabrielle are the kindest, funniest, most joyful people. It makes my job photographing them pretty darn easy.
We met up in downtown Hudson just after Gabrielle turned three and I photographed them playing together. It was a pretty eventful afternoon walking around the square, blowing bubbles and petting a cat that seemed to follow us wherever we went. :)
Photos at sunset are my favorite, and when Kalyn told me that's what she really wanted for her family session, I crossed my fingers and toes that we would get an awesome golden glow! Mother Nature sure did deliver. We had the most beautiful spring day to hang out at Wade Oval.
This little family is so sweet, and there was no shortage of kisses, hand holding, hugs and maybe a few jelly beans. :) Kalyn is a super talented photographer herself, so it was such an honor to document these four! Enjoy the glowy goodness.
Meet Laura, Matt and Maddox. I used to coach gymnastics in Cincinnati for a team that competed against Laura's. I guess we were supposed to be mad enemies (juuuuust kidding) but we were all actually friends! I got to photograph Laura and Matt's wedding a few years ago ... and now their adorable 1-year-old! These three traveled all the way up to Cleveland from Northern Kentucky for this session. Thanks a million, guys!
I want to take it back to fall for just a second and share some photos of my sweet second shooter Samantha and her family. This girl has been such a light in the midst of wedding season craziness. She is always calm and collected and positive. Samantha is such an amazing example of living by God's faith and grace, even in the midst of hard times. I cannot say enough good things about her and the way she and her husband, Tony, are raising their kids.
Thank you doesn't seem adequate enough, Samantha, but I truly am thankful for you!
