Columbus Ohio Lifestyle Photography
I was so excited to meet this sweet girl! She was a dream baby for her session and her parents picked the cutest outfits for her to wear. We also took photos in a crib that was built by her grandfather when her mother was a baby. I just love sentimental photos for newborn sessions!
What means the most to you? What happens in your daily life that you will want to remember when the kids are all grown up? Photograph it!
The photos you take of your every day lifestyle (even if it seems mundane) are the ones you will TREASURE the most in the years to come. Would you rather have perfectly posed photos of your family in clothes they never wear? OR would you rather have a picture of your child reading their favorite book? Or having a tickle fight with Dad?
The other day, I was trying to imagine the interior of the old house I grew up in to see how well I could remember it. I am so blessed because I have TONS of "everyday" pictures of my childhood in that old house. These photos bring back memories of 90's fashion, the awesome music, childhood friends, the decor in our house, the toys we played with, the food we ate, all of the elements that made up our environment.
These photos are some of my favorites because they capture how I remember my childhood. I adore and treasure them.
When you take photos of someone in their true environment, it is like freezing a slice of history. Most of our memories happen in this environment that we call HOME.. so why not take pictures there? How special would those pictures be to you in 20, 30, or even 40 years? How special would it be to show your grandchildren and great grandchildren?
Documenting families in their environments is something I truly believe in. Sure, posed portraits are nice, but there is something extra special and memorable about catching real moments. Let me do this for you and get everyone in the picture!
This beautiful girl and her family are very dear friends and I am so excited for them as they await the arrival of baby number two! If you have ever needed proof that the pregnancy glow exists, you need to check out these photos.. drop dead gorgeous. And of course, there were plenty of cute toddler moments and a tickle fight!
I had such a great time capturing these memories and preserving Sam's beautiful bump. I can't wait to meet baby number two!
