It's so funny how 'small' of a world this is....

I got an email from a woman out of state that Googled "Dayton, OH Photographer" and found me! She purchased a gift certificate for her sister-in-law, and it just got redeemed. Turns out, the family is good friends with several of my friends as well... So funny how things work out sometimes! :)

2011-10-03T08:28:00.007-04:00

Tonya and I have been friends ever since junior high; that's a long time! :)

She married Mitchell, and they had me photograph their wedding reception....

Then we did a winter shoot the same year with their puppies....

And this year, we did a themed Vintage LOVE shoot....

One thing I have to say about this shoot: so many photos to take, SOOOOO little time. We had so many great ideas, we couldn't do them all!!

Next time.... :)

Dayton, OH Baby Photographer {Itty Bitty Bryce}

2011-09-29T08:23:00.005-04:00

Yayyyy for sweet baby Bryce! I was supposed to photograph her a week ago, but she came down with a nasty case of jaundice, and had to stay in the hospital for a few extra days.... but here she is, looking pretty as ever!

Bryce was THE most agreeable infant I have ever photographed.... AND she stayed awake the entire time. Quite a feat! She did fantastic during her shoot, and we got some really great photos!

I got to photograph her Mommy & her family last Thanksgiving at her Grandma's house... you can find that session here!

2011-09-28T08:25:00.001-04:00

I made these letters for Rachel's baby's name! I sent them to her and she used these photos to tell everyone his name; such a cute idea! Are you interested in having letters made for your kiddo's name?? Let me know!

Heidi's been so much fun to follow! I posted all of her "Baby Makes The Belly Go 'Round" sessions last week, and here's her sweet boy Jacob! He's such a little peanut... :) It was so great meeting her husband, Steve; as he was in Afghanistan the whole time we were photographing her maternity progression... He literally made it home hours before Jacob's birth.... crazy!

Here's a 'sneak peek' of a few photos I was able to get up...

Dayton, OH Family Photographer {The Chuang Family}

2011-09-16T11:49:00.000-04:00

Oh how I love the Chuang Family! We've been friends for a real long time, and I've known them before they met each other, attended their wedding, held their baby boy, and photographed Joshua's 6 month photos! Joshua is now ONE YEAR OLD, I still cannot believe it. He is suuuuch a cutie, and we had a fantastic session... despite the 60 degree August day... :)

Dayton, OH Maternity Photographer: Heidi {Baby Makes The Belly Go 'Round 3}

2011-09-13T07:32:00.001-04:00

Dayton, OH Maternity Photographer: Rachel {Baby Makes The Belly Go 'Round 2}

2011-09-11T23:25:00.000-04:00

Enjoy.

Dayton, Ohio Child Photographer {Colton 1 Year Old}

2011-08-24T08:42:00.005-04:00

I cannot BELIEVE Colton is ONE!!!

I visited him in the hospital, not even 24 hours old.....

I did his 3 month pictures....

Then his 6 MONTH pictures...

We missed his 9 month photos; not real sure how we forgot it! :)

And now he's a year... time flies when you're watching a cute baby grow up!!

Love you, Colton boy... The next time you see him here, he'll be in his Mommy's wedding!!

Dayton, Ohio Maternity Photographer {Rachel .:. Baby Makes The Belly Go 'Round}

2011-08-22T08:14:00.006-04:00

If there's one thing I love more than getting a new client, it's getting a new client that is a referral from a good friend! Meet Rachel! Rachel is super gorgeous, and 20 weeks along in her pregnancy. We're doing a maternity progression on her, or what I like to call "Baby Makes The Belly Go 'Round"... we'll watch her belly grow, and can't wait to see that gorgeous scenery change around her!

Dayton, Ohio Maternity Photographer {St. Martin}

2011-08-17T08:50:00.003-04:00

I absolutely love it when I get photo inquiries from people I haven't seen in a very long time... This soon-to-be-Mama and I were childhood friends! We lived just about 6 houses away and used to play all the time. I cannot WAIT to photograph her little man once he arrives...

Dayton, Ohio Photographer {Mason is 5!?!? Wow.}

2011-08-16T08:45:00.005-04:00

I seriously cannot believe that my nephew Mason is 5 years old!! Seems like just yesterday I was waiting by the phone all night long, hoping for the call that he had been born! It's been so fun to watch him grow up and become such a sweet little man...

We did some more photos at a cupcake shop, but I haven't touched them yet... soon, I hope!

It's so funny to look back at how their family has grown; here's the first session I ever did for them; when Eli turned one.... and when Sarah was born! It's also really interesting to see how my photography has grown. I'm really growing into the style that I really desire.... It's a growing process!

2011-05-27T15:42:00.000-04:00

LOVE the Swihart Family!!

I've photographed them several times at my Farm Day promotions, but never off that location... I was so super excited when Jamie asked me to do their maternity and brand new baby photos!

They're having a baby girl, and I can't wait to photograph her in lots of fun things as well. :)

Please click on the photos to see them MUCH better. Blogger has been looking HORRIBLE with photos lately... I just need to get a new website and stop complaining about it. :)

They're even in Allissa's House Church, which we recently started attending. It will be great to get to know them better! :) Enjoy their beautiful family and SUPER CUTE daughter. :)
