Little Women | Dayton Family Photographer, Dayton Children Photographer

I met these sweet young ladies at Cox Arboretum this weekend to capture a surprise to put under their folk’s tree this coming Christmas. The girls’ ability to smile on demand was impressive, but I was most moved by their relationship that was beaming with friendship. I  am so out of order with this sneak peeks, but I couldn’t resist this first shot that they indulged me with:

Here’s some crafty cropping to get head shots of these sisters in one collage. I could use some practice with head shots apparently, but these gals are perfect at them!

Thank you, Ladies, for the privilege to capture you and be a part of a really cool surprise. I can only hope my own girls will be as thoughtful as you are in years to come!

Bonded | Dayton Kids, Children and Family Photographer

(can you see these images? they are so tiny!)

What a blessing it was for me to capture this sweet family on Saturday at Hills & Dales Metro Park. Their interaction among one another is so sweet, they definitely have a unique bond between them.

I just adore this shot of Mama with her little girl. Sometimes when I am embracing my own daughters, there is a wave of gratitude, of love bigger than myself that comes over me. My heart beats faster, my nose breathes in their scent. I’m just in the moment - I imagine it looks something like this second shot. I hope I caught the moment right for these two ladies.

I can’t imagine a more beautiful place for family portraits right now. This part of Ohio is teeming with a potpourri of colors in her trees. If you’re local, I hope you’ll get a chance to visit one of the more natural metro parks, the colors will take your breath away.

Thank you, “A” Family, I had a wonderful time with you all!

Autumn’s Glory | Dayton Family Photography

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of capturing two families in the morning at beautiful Hills & Dales Metro Park. I don’t think I could have chosen a more perfect fall day to view the most amazing backdrop of Autumn. Simply beautiful and breathtaking. This little pocket we took photos in was absolutely alive with color and right at its peak of leaf changing season.

Enjoy a sneak peek of a beautiful family that is also from Southern California - I think all of us were in awe of Autumn’s Glory together.

Thank you, “B” Family!

T-2 Months | Dayton Children and Family Photographer

In December, this sweet family will welcome dear ol’ dad back to the mix. You couldn’t tell from their casualness that he was missing. Of course, it was more cold than they would have liked, so they had their minds occupied in other places.

This family were the winners of the mini-session giveaway, their names were submitted because of the crazy year they’ve had with a move overseas and then dad being deployed right after arriving at Wright-Patt. AFB. I was happy to meet the “J” Family at Wegerzyn Gardens and gift them with a session. As usual with me, it was a morning of goofiness, silliness and jumping. Don’t think I just show up and take your pictures! We gotta have fun while I, ahem, work.

Just two shots tonight, I’ve got to go to bed!

Looking forward to the Party of Five shot in T-2 months :) Thank you, “J” Family!

Stealing Smiles | Dayton Children and Family Photographer

This little guy has become one of  my most frequent (and favorite!) clients, it’s been so fun to see him and his little personality grow during the past 10 1/2 months! It’s always a super time of laughs when I get together with the “S” Family and steal some toothy smiles from their little one.

This time was no different. Enjoy your sneak peek D & P! Thank you for the opportunity!

Family Studio Portraits | Dayton Family and Children Photographer

If it weren’t for the chilly weather we have been experiencing here this past week, this family would have met me outdoors. But with two little ones in tow, we changed locations at the last minute. I met mom at playgroup at the end of the summer, we were fast friends - plus her oldest and my youngest are right about the same age. And also, fast friends. But in a different context if you know what I mean- little two year olds like to run!

Enjoy your sneak peek, “M” family!
