I met Brandi and Wes one warm summer evening on their family's farm in Washington Courthouse. Talk about a photographers dream! They had this abandoned school house they wanted to include in their maternity session. I love worn down, rustic backdrops. We had such a fun time! I photograph maternity sessions throughout Columbus and surrounding areas. I love giving parents the option to add on a maternity session to their newborn photo session. Not only does this save your family some money in the long run, but you get to capture those special moments both before and after your baby arrives.

Brooklynn is seven months old || Columbus, Ohio Baby Photography

Meet Brooklynn!

Brooklynn was one of the first babies I photographed in my home studio space when my husband and I moved back to Grove City last fall. I couldn't believe how much she had grown in those short seven months! The moment she got out of her car seat she was a bundle of smiles and joy!

These peonies grow in our front yard, and they're huge when in full bloom. The day they popped up Miss Brooklynn immediately came to my mind. Ideas kept swirling in my head, and I came up with a simple idea of placing them in a vase next to her. The day before our session it was a whopping 86 degrees and full of humidity. I came home that evening to see a ton of my pink peonies very droopy. I immediately cut the best of the best and brought them inside and into one of my mother's vases she had given me. I'm so pleased with how these turned out!

I love "sitter" sessions, aka baby sessions. Babies 6-12 months old are so full of expressions and wonder. You may get tons of smiles or you might get a lot of serious faces. They love to roll, crawl, feel, explore, touch their toes & giggle at mommy.

I added this white dress to my baby wardrobe for 6-12 month old baby girls. Miss Brooklynn loved rolling around on my bed setup. One thing I love about this comfy setup is parents don't have to worry if their wobbly baby leans to one side or rolls to their back. It's a real bed with tons of fluffy padding for tiny tushies.

She was sooo excited to play and laugh with me! I feel like this expression sums up her time with me 100%. Haha! Her mommy said she looks like she's talking to us... I'm pretty sure she was!

Brooklynn loved the headband and lace so much she kept playing with all of it. Haha!

I was so beyond thrilled to get the chance to use this yellow headband and matching fabric. Still reaching for those toes like a good girl.

Oh Miss Brooklynn, won't you come see me again on your first birthday? I can't wait to see how much you've grown!
