columbus mommy and me photography
When is the last time you were photographed with your kiddos? It's usually US taking the photos of our kiddos with and without our spouse. I'd love to help you preserve your memories, not only for you but for your children. I'll even capture a few photos of your little one(s) by themselves. These petite sessions are for newborns and up! These make great gifts to give with Mother's Day approaching!

Check out that hair!
I don't think its possible for me to go one session without capturing some baby piggies.
Sometimes you need to just let it all out. Look at that baby tummy sticking out. I can barely handle it!
Even in between wardrobe changes Mr. J managed to give me all kinds of eye contact. He brought his A game!
He did a little flexing and push-ups for his mama. He couldn't take his eyes off her!
One of my favorites below. Such a sweet little ham.
Are you surprised to see more toesie photos at this point? I'd hope not. Haha!
Jameson's mama looked so stunning and effortless. Mommy and baby photos are one of my favorite things ever. He was pretty tuckered out at this point so she started singing lullabies to him.
Those eyes. <3
This white bedding setup has become my absolute favorite. You can really let yourself relax and just "be" with your loved ones in my studio. No shoes, no problem.
Gah, the baby rolls!
I'm now scheduling a limited number of milestone and baby mini sessions in my studio per month. I would love to chat with you about booking a session for your little ones. Email me at sarahcropperphoto@hotmail.com to book your session!
Columbus Ohio Family Photographer
The B family contacted me to schedule a summer field family photo session. They really wanted to capture their little family during the summer months. I was able to schedule them on the calendar and we began planning their session together!
Mom knew she loved the idea of a simple background like a field at sunset. I knew just the location - it’s the perfect spot for summer portraits. Whether you’re a family of three or a large, extended family with three generations, it’s the perfect spot!
Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer
Baby Arowyn’s mom emailed me to schedule her second daughter’s newborn session. She loved my style of using a lot of whites and natural poses. I was able to schedule her on the calendar right away and we got to planning her session.
She had a lot of really lovely ideas and had a really timeless style. One of her ideas involved bringing a purple quilt made by a family member. She wanted to incorporate it somehow, so I told her to bring it along and I would design a setup using the blanket. It’s important to me that you LOVE your images, and if that means you bring along a sentimental heirloom-so be it! I don’t typically use purple but I truly believe in making my clients happy and I know this mama’s heart was so excited to see this quilt in her daughter’s portraits. You’ll see the image at the end of this blog post! Take a look!
Columbus Newborn Photographer
Ethan’s mom contacted me to schedule her first child’s newborn session. She loved the idea of choosing someone who offered a natural approach to newborn photography. We scheduled her session with a tentative date. I always let clients know their date is tentative in case their due date changes. Which we all know happens quite often. If your due date changes by more than 4-5 days I usually alter the session date to make sure your baby is between 7-14 days old by their session.
The S Family at Scioto Grove Metro Park in Grove City, Ohio
Stephanie contacted me through my Facebook business page hoping to schedule a full newborn session in my Grove City newborn studio. Her baby boy was already born and hoped to snag a last minute opening. Although I do suggest you schedule your session before your baby is born, I try my hardest to schedule in last minute sessions. It makes things so much easier for you to schedule and plan your session before your baby is born so you can mark it off as done on your mental check list. You also don’t need to sit and research to find the best photographer after your baby is born and living on 3 hours of sleep.
Once Stephanie was all booked we started planning her session! She had a boy named Oliver with the most gorgeous head of hair. We discussed any of her requests to which she shared she wanted some nice family photos, a great sibling shot and timeless newborn photos of her baby boy. She was nervous that her oldest wouldn’t cooperate for photos. I let her know I would do my very best to make sure we captured some photos of them together. My sibling photos are pretty natural and very safe. I always keep a parent just off to the side, out of camera, to give a helping hand to the kiddos.
I received an email last month from Peerspace, informing me I made their list of the 11 Best Family Photographers in Columbus! This is SUCH an honor! I’ve worked so hard to give my clients the best experience and beautiful, timeless images for them to treasure forever. You can view the link below to see the list of amazing, talented photographers!
Your loved ones will have these portraits forever.
Think about that.
Professional newborn photography is something you invest in because I freeze that fleeting moment in time. And you get to keep your digital images forever. It's not a shirt you buy from Target that lasts a year. It isn't an expensive dinner you enjoy one time.
Forever. And ever.
All full session gift certificates are beautifully packaged for you at no extra cost by yours truly. All you need to do is fill in the "to and from". These make a wonderful baby shower gift from one person or even a group of friends! They also make a fantastic Christmas gift!
Your gift certificate is personalized for you depending on your type of session you purchase. Gift wrapping your certificate is my way of showing just how much I care about my clients by ensuring their experience is excellent from start to finish and every moment in between!
Central Ohio Extended Family Photography Session
Columbus Ohio Family Photographer
Ankur contacted me from out of state to schedule an extended family session for his entire family. A lot of them were traveling to Columbus for one weekend only to celebrate their father’s 80th birthday. They wanted to document it with a large family photo session with a summer feel. I was thrilled to schedule a session with them and we began planning the location and outfits right away.
