Baby Mila | 6 Months

Ohhhh, this family has my heart. Melissa and Michael were one of my first wedding clients in Cleveland, and they are just the kindest, most down-to-earth people. I've always loved them. And then. THEN! They had a beautiful baby girl. Just look at little Mila. It goes without saying that she is the happiest baby with the best sense of humor. I think babies can have senses of humor, right? This little lady laughs at everything, and she especially thinks her dad is super funny. Melissa and Michael are smitten with Mila, and I had so much fun documenting their love for each other a few months ago.

Heather of Fair Rarity made some gorgeous floral crowns and headbands for little Mila. She's like a tiny, laughing goddess sitting in a field down there.

You guys are beautiful! :)

Baby Lucy | 9 Months

I love hanging out with Lucy. I can hardly wait for her ONE YEAR session in a couple weeks! Happy early birthday little lady. :)

Indigo Lake Lifestyle Family Session

This family is near and dear to my heart. They have trusted me with multiple family sessions (#1, #2 and #3), plus both of Lindsay's sisters are past bride's of mine (Hi, Ashley and Kelsey!). I can't tell you how honored I am to have been a part of their lives … and continue to be called back! It's the ultimate goal for a photographer, and I'm just pinching myself that I get to hang out with this family on a regular basis. The kids? Adorable. Hilarious. Intelligent. The parents? Positive. Great senses of humor. Kind as all get out. :)

This photo makes me want to go frolic through a field. How carefree and HAPPY does Damien look?! This is the picture of childhood right here.

Vincent was really more interested in collecting sticks and rocks and leaves than he was in getting his photo taken. It's OK though. We made it work!

And Adelaide was ready to do anything I asked her. She was a pro at posing for the camera. What a cutie.

Alexa & Addie | Horseshoe Lake Park Lifestyle Portraits

Alexa and Addie are radiant and have such a zest for life. Running around Horseshoe Lake with these two made me feel like a kid again. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

Alexa definitely plays the older sister role, and she's so smart. She spelled my name right on her first try with no help from anyone! Alexa is full of good ideas, a monkey on the playground and a goofball.

Addie is a little quieter and wants to do what her big sister is doing. She has an independent streak too. Addie's sweet, full of energy and loves chocolate ice cream.

I dare you NOT to smile while looking through these photos. :)

This is what being a kid should look like.
