GIVEAWAY



It's not MY give-away. But a fellow blogger. She's dishing out a $25 gift card to Starbucks and AND AND a camera strap cover from Eclectic Whatnot. Of course there's a give-away for one of these bad boys... I just placed an order for mine a few days ago. (I ordered the lemon drop, i'm loving the gray and yellow together. so pretty.)

Get over to Mosaic of Grace and enter to win.

And... because a post isn't a post without a photo here's Jack on Easter Sunday. This makes my heart SING.

Liam | Cleveland Children's Photographer



I met Liam and his momma this morning for an early afternoon session. Liam has the biggest brightest eyes and huge admoration for his mommy. All she had to do was say his name and smile and Liam would start beaming.
He's adorable, Colleen. I couldn't get enough of his sweet sweet baby face.

Here's a teeny sneaky peeky! I couldn't decided if I liked it in black and white or color.

The "D" Family | Cleveland Family Photographer

I love capturing new families. It's so fun to see that new love bloom. A few months ago I reconnected with an old friend that I met in middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL! Facebook is so fun sometimes. I was delighted to see she was a new mommy to the sweetest little guy. She asked me to capture their family and I jumped at the chance. It was a chilly day but the little man was such a good sport and cooperated the entire time. I love a good baby!





can you handle those eyes? and those lips? i love him!


Fragapane's Bakery | Cleveland Business Photographer

Nothing is better on Sunday morning than fresh baked goods, a steamy cup of coffee and some snuggles from your family. I love Sundays. Family, food, church, prayer, laughter, and photography. It's my favorite day. A few Sundays ago the family went to Fragapane's. We snuck our way into the back so I could do some photo's of the kitchen. My husband is a chef and I'm still amazed by the big machines that help produce the most amazing treats.

I took some great shots that I personally think would look great blown up and hung in the shop. I loved these machines. Amazing.

Here's my favorite.


You should have seen the them all lined up in a row. So cool.

The "C" Family | Cleveland Family photographer

Do you know how your mouth hurts when you laugh too much? That's what happened to me after the shoot was over. I had so much fun taking photo's for this family. The best pictures are from true genuine smiles, and this family certainly delivered. Thanks so much C family! I can't wait to take James's 1 year photo's!




















Thanks so much! I really did have a great time!

Baby Arthur | Cleveland, Ohio Newborn Photographer

I took maternity photo's of an old friend last fall. She was just sprouting the sweetest little baby bump. She wanted to photograph the announcement that she was having a baby boy. I was thrilled when i received the e-mail that she finally had him. Baby Arthur is one of the sweetest little babies I've seen in a long time. He was wonderful to photograph. I think he may have whimpered for all of 30 seconds while we wrapped him in the baby cocoon.
He's precious. Enjoy your sneak peak!



I adore baby wrinkles. Do you see that mouth?! Loverly.
