    If you have landed here...bless your soul.  Welcome to our little tiny corner of the cyber world, based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Below you will see favorites from our sessions we do professionally, and also loads of personal nonsense that we hope at least will entertain you.  If nothing less, you can keep up on our adorable children.  Really, they are worth the trip back here time and time again in and of itself.

baby joseph {newborn}

We had the honor of photographing tiny man Joseph when he was 10 days old.  We did this session in early December, and his family has been oh so patient waiting for these.  He was such a sweetie.  I have NEVER seen a baby that was so attentive at this age.  He knew every step...

Justin @ JG Photography - This post just needed a comment! I love how you captured that little guy, and like everyone’s been saying its amazing how aware he is, and the “old soul” he seems. The shot of him looking up is ridiculously awesome! Almost gives me a spine tingle! Fantastic fantastic work!

baby sophie {newborn}

I just adore doing newborn sessions.  Not only for the obvious reason (they are mushy balls of sweet sugar you could just eat up)…but also the honor of being able to witness the birth of a family.  Wether it is a first child, or an additional child, a new family is reborn as each one...

eveline mae {before + after}

I have had the same group of girlfriends for what seems like forever.  We all went to a very small elementary/high school, and we formed relationships that resemble “sisters” more than just “friends.”  Most of us met at different stages along the way, but the group of us have been tight ever since.
