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!

Mini-Session Giveaway | Dayton Newborn, Children’s and Family Photographer

I love the spirit of the holiday season- celebrating Christ’s birth, giving to others and extending hearts of service to those in need. I think the upcoming Holiday Mini-Sessions are a perfect opportunity for me to kick off the spirit of the giving season- and for you, too!

From now until Monday, October 12th, nominate a family* you know that is in need of holiday portraits, and tell me why they are the most deserved family for the mini-session giveaway. Based on your submissions, I will choose one lucky family to participate in the mini-sessions on Saturday, October 17th at no cost to them and still includes all the perks of a normal mini-session fee. Please leave a comment here or e-mail me at: sesincock @ me.com (Close the gaps there) for your nominated family to be considered.

*Families cannot nominate themselves and the number of participants in the party need to be five people or less.

Shake Your Tutu Debuts | Dayton Children and Toddler Photographer

Who doesn’t love little girls wearing tutus? Shake Your Tutus is opening its doors and making its debut into the world of tutus of all seasons this next week, and I was lucky enough to see first hand the variety of tutus that grandmaster tutu maker Tracy will have available.

Three tutus that are sure to be hits for the month of October is the “Hope” Tutu* with part of the proceeds going to breast cancer awareness:

The “GO Buckeyes” red and silver tutu that are already popular with the Ohio State crowd:

And the “Hallowe’en” Tutu that will surely bring many treats this festive season. Adorable, right? I know.

The Early Bird | Dayton Baby and Family Photography

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting this sweet family down at Cox Arboretum for an early morning session this past weekend. I love to meet babies and toddlers before the sun shines too high, it makes for more jolly little souls. This soon-to-be six month old was very alert and loved to watch anything around him move- except me, ha! I even broke out the big guns and did some jumps for him to crack a smile or two. I love how he’s touching his mama’s face in this first shot:

He’s not quite sitting yet, but he seemed perfectly happy on his belly checking out the world around him:

Just a couple more of Baby E with his folks and a close up of his cute self in a handmade knitted vest by Mom (I was super impressed to learn that she made that!):

Thank you for a wonderful session, “H” Family :)

The Face of Four | Outdoor Children Photography Dayton, OH

My second daughter recently had a birthday (oaky, nevermind it was 6 weeks ago and we still have party decorations up), and we finally got out to take some fresh pictures for the grandma’s walls this past weekend. She loves this petticoat skirt. I love her in it. Before long, she won’t want to have anything to do with it, so I’ll soak it up as long as I can.

Christian Artist | Head shot and Lifestyle Photography, Dayton, OH

I have met an amazing songwriter and singer at my church over the past 9 months- Jennifer Jolene is an up and coming Christian artist with some musical talent in her! We had a great time capturing some shots for her music page- keep an eye out for this one, I can’t wait to see where the Lord will take her and her beautiful spirit!

Hands down, favorite shot of the evening- I love what my 70-200mm f/2.8 whips up with creamy sunset light.

Thanks for a fun evening, Jenn! Best wishes with your singing and songwriting career :)

Welcome to the World, Baby Boy! | Dayton Newborn & Baby Photography

Mama contacted me on Friday with a brand new one-week-old baby boy at home looking to get some newborn pictures done. I love that my husband can be flexible with Saturday shoots and I happily agreed to do Baby N’s shoot Saturday afternoon.

How precious is this little guy?

He looks so happy in the basket, doesn’t he? We took about twenty frames, I think he might have blinked here!

 

Here’s a favorite- I just love this plaid outfit he’s wearing. In case you were wondering, browns and blues photograph very well, I think. Especially on sleepy newborns.

Mom and Dad are smitten- and doing very well considering they are brand new parents!

Here’s the good lookin’ family one last time:

Thank you for the opportunity to be your photographer during such a special time in your life, S & S :) Congratulations, again!

A Nice Spring Day in Dayton | Children & Family Photography Dayton, OH

It was so refreshing to be outside shooting in the sunshine again this past weekend. There is a darling little garden in an older part of Dayton that  I’ve quickly grown fond up- and the daffodils just recently bloomed there greeting this family with color. Little S wasn’t sure about me, but we were getting along fine with smiles after awhile.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to capture you all, “C” Family :)
