A few more from back home. (sneak peek)

This last weekend in Youngstown I had the opportunity to photograph Gabrielle and her little cousin Christian. I grew up with their mommies and have known them since I was the age their children are right now! Its so amazing to see how grown up we are and how adorable their families are!!

This weekend was also a great opportunity for me to use the new studio that has become available to me in Youngstown for my sessions at home! I want to send a special thanks out to Colleen for letting us rent the studio and use some of her things. I hope this is only the start of a beautiful friendship/business relationship!! *please note that some of the props used in these sessions as well as the ahhh-mazing exposed brick wall are only available at the Youngstown studio...sorry!

Beautiful Gabrielle!





Cousins are soooo sweet!!!


Christian and his mommy and daddy came all the way from Michigan for their session. What a doll! So glad they did! This was a special treat for Christian...he got to eat cupcakes!! He warmed up to me very quickly after that!

Internet connection down.

Hey friends! I'm sorry to inform you that my internet connection is currently down on my workstation computer. This means...patience is necessary! I know you are all excited about getting to see your images from the last weekend...but please bare with me!! I have an appointment at the genius bar tomorrow (the mac support desk). So I will be working on your images, and hopefully tomorrow my airport card will be in working order and I can just start loading your images since they will already be done! I had several appointments since Wednesday also so please be patient! I know you are all excited!! There are some great portrait sessions going online this week!!

Hope you had a great weekend!!

Baby Aubree {sneak peek}

I finally got home to Youngstown to photograph baby Aubree this weekend. Her mommy and I have been friends for years and she has patiently waited for me to be in town to photograph her little beauty. After I conned her into doing a maternity session, I can't believe she was still patient with me as I came a little late to our session (thanks D!!). So I owe her a sneak peek before I get to her images in the production line. Enjoy!! There are plenty more where these came from!!!

She said, "tutu of the month club, " I said, "I'm in!" {sneak peek}

When asked how far I would drive to photograph a child that is a member of a tutu of the month club, I answer..."Cleveland my friends...Cleveland!! " How cute is she?! Wouldn't you?!! Thank you mommy for the cute outfits, and thank you daddy for allowing us to photograph your baby girl in this outfit!!!

Sydney is 6 months! {sneak peek}

All these babies are growing so fast!! Sitting up like big kids already! I'm so proud of my 6 month Bella Bambina friends!!
