A year has passed and Miss Ruby is officially a year old. Words cannot compete with the cuteness that came as a result of Daddy blowing bubbles.

Even the Dog Smiled
Friday, May 27th, 2011The tornado sirens couldn’t keep us from sneaking in this session. We had beautiful light and beautiful smiles before the rains came. Sam claims to be the jokester in this family but Anna is giving him a run for his money. I really enjoyed laughing with this beautiful family!
Stealing Thunder
Thursday, May 26th, 2011The little people tend to steal the show when it comes to family shoots. Their belly laughs and cute little faces make everyone melt. These little cuties were no exception. It’s quite obvious that they have Grandma and Grandpa wrapped around their little fingers…just the way it should be!
Winter 2010 Catchup
Monday, May 2nd, 2011Just a quick shoutout post for all of those who were photographed but not blogged during my Third Trimester 
I am happy to report that everyone got their holiday cards/photos/files but sad to admit that I was a HUGE blog slacker.
Graceful
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010In-between the giggles, the tail wags and the doggie treat bribes we found moments of maturity beauty in Grace and Daisy that are reminiscent of a time long ago. I can’t wait to see these images hanging on the walls of Grace’s home.
Technically Speaking
Sunday, October 24th, 2010Jane and Joey have the longest eyelashes I have ever seen. With a bat of their beautiful eyes, the world is their oyster. They can thank Julie, their Mom, for that gift.
Seeing as how their Dad, Nick, and I talked shop for a good while after their shoot, I am going to do something a little different and talk about lenses and settings for a little in this post.
In this first shot I wanted to capture the stunning thickness of Joey’s eyelashes and his little round cheeks. Using a 50mm 1.4 lens and shooting at f/2.2 @ 1/2500 I was able to get a crisp shot of the cheek and eyelashes and allow the remainder of his body to blur away.
The portraits of the kids were shot at f/1.8 or f/2.2 @ 1/800 using the same lens. I moved back about 3 feet from the kids to allow some room for their full faces and to get a nice portrait with a lot of bokeh.
The rest of the images were shot using my workhorse lens, the 70-200 2.8L. All of the images were shot at f/2.8 to keep the subjects in focus but blur the background.
Just a quick note here…notice Jane’s finger poking Joey in the second image…I love kids and the super cute things that they do.

The Gift of Family
Saturday, October 2nd, 2010Some gifts are memorable and others go down in family lure as “epic.” I think that we may have an epic gift…between the beautiful family, the perfect light and the breathtaking surroundings, the images from this session will bring many smiles to those who receive them as holiday gifts.
Someone to Share Your Cookies
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010I will be amazed if anyone scrolls to the bottom of this post because the first shot of Henry and Owen is so precious. What’s funny about this shot is that this concept was not thought up ahead of time, this was a real moment when we were giving the boys a break from shooting. Two year old boys need “fuel” to continue their mischievous ways and shared animal crackers fit that bill. (I love the other shots we got but keep coming back to this image.)
The Cutest Frown Ever
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010Lucy and Rosie are living in NYC and came back to Akron to visit their families and friends. It was a big trip for Lucy, who will be three months old soon. Rosie is a seasoned traveler and taught her little sister all about flying.
I have to say that I am in love with this first image for so many reasons. Lucy is a very happy baby but the little frown has to be one of the most precious “non-smile” expressions I have captured. As our children grow, we tend to forget how the tiny curled lips turn into passionate cries. This is a keeper.
