We met a few weeks ago one evening to photograph their maternity session. We got so lucky because the weather was unseasonably cool. Let me tell you, they are the kindest couple! I love when I can just gel and be myself during a photo session. Those clients can then become friends!

I was beyond jealous of Diana's hair. My hair becomes big and puffy in this summer heat but her hair kept blowing in the breeze perfectly the entire time. And her laugh? Made for beautiful images!

See what I mean?

Am I the only one who secretly hopes for clouds during a photo session? It cools things down drastically and you aren't limited with what direction your clients face in their photographs because there is no sun to worry about!

Tell me their snuggles aren't the cutest thing?!

Jordan & Diana added on a mini maternity session to their newborn session with me... which I love! It gives us time to interact and get to know one another before baby arrives and I photograph their little bundle of joy.

Sweet Carly Sue || Columbus, Ohio Rainbow Bridge Pet Photography

I met the Light family a couple years ago when I was starting my photography journey. I met their three adorable children so full of joy. We had been keeping in touch through social media when I was tagged in a post about their sick pup. I was so grateful to have been tagged on Facebook to give the Light family a Rainbow Bridge photo session for their family and furbaby. Carly's photo session was scheduled quickly and we met up within a few days of chatting.

As it turns out I live about a half mile away from the Light family! I took my three minute drive to their home last week and was immediately greeted by Miss Carly Sue and her family. I prayed for good weather as it had been storming off and on for what seemed like the entire week leading up to our session. My prayers were answered and we were blessed with soft cloudy weather that evening. 

When you photograph pets you quickly realize that, like toddlers, they run the show. We went outside and let Carly pick the spot where she would want to be photographed. She walked to the front yard where she would frequently sit and wait for one of the kiddos to get home from school. That was that. We would have our session in their front yard.

Such a serious, sweet girl. I love this capture of her.

She loved watching the cars go by and looking at her family.

Her two-legged siblings wrote notes filled with love for her. 

She even got a special visit and some snuggles from Grandma & Grandpa.

You are so loved sweet girl. It was a pleasure meeting you & your kind soul.
