I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard “Nora has to be the most photographed baby ever”. To some extent I think that’s true. I can’t seem to keep my phone camera away. When I was about 8 months pregnant I went to Best Buy in Toledo and bought the largest iPhone they had because I had a pretty good idea that would be the case. Something tells me I can’t be the only mom guilty of that though.

Otherwise I try to not expose her to my professional gear too often. It’s been said from other mom photographers their children see the camera and run the other way because they were exposed to it so often. But sometimes I just can’t help myself. Sometimes she is just too cute and I can’t help but grab my camera and grab a few.

I mean seriously can you blame me?! … cool Ohio summer nights, baby giggles, chubby toes, puppy kisses, bubbles, a jean jacket and pretty white bows.

Hey look! It’s one of my favorite families. Somehow Briar turned one already.. how is this possible!? It doesn’t seem that long ago that I photographed her newborn photos. Briar was full of energy for her first birthday session.

We scheduled her first birthday photography session at Wildwood Metro Park in Toledo Ohio. Before the sugar rush of her cake smash we took some time to get some sweet family photos.

The cake smash was adorable; fluffy pink carpet, a crisp white teepee and some flowers with a sweet little cake by Glass City Cupcakes. Briar dove right in to the cake and never looked back. She was all about that sweet frosting.

Oh young love… Chris and Danielle’s love is simply infectious. Danielle and Chris have been together for 3 years but as an outsider looking in it seems like they’ve been together much longer. They have such a comfortable presence with each other. He makes her laugh, she makes him smile.

We met at Wildwood Metro Park in Toledo for their engagement photography session. They are from Michigan so it was fun to explore a place they’ve never been to. We walked around the gardens and grounds while they snuggled talked and laughed. We are excited to photograph their September wedding in Manchester, MI!

I’m especially excited for the wedding because it will be held on his property. It’s where they met, had their first date and will share such a memorable day with friends and family as they take this next step in life. I love having a backdrop such as that –somewhere that means so much to the two of them! It will be a wonderful day for everyone involved.

It’s been a long time since I’ve photographed Alex. In fact the last time I photographed him it was 2012! Look at those cute little guys 🙂 Somehow it doesn’t seem like it has been that long but as the saying goes– Time Flies!

Fast forward a few years and Alex is heading into his senior year at Rossford High School!

We started Alex’s senior photography session at the ever popular Sidecut Metro Park. After hitting some of our favorite spots there we packed up and went to the Indoor Maumee Theater. Alex is involved in Drama Club at Rossford so to play homage to that we thought the theater would be a good backdrop.

It was wonderful meeting Elijah and his family! Big sister was so excited to get to help and did such a good job during her portion of the session. As I often say, it’s exciting for me to get to incorporate unique elements into my sessions that tell more of your story.

Eli’s mom is in the US Air Force. It was really awesome getting to incorporate her uniform into a few poses. Speaking of uniforms… Dad is a college football player so of course there had to be some football in here too. This was such a fun session and I had a great time working with them all!

From the first time I met Betsy over coffee we just “hit it off” as they say. We get each other on a lot of levels but one of the strongest I’d say is our similarity of being “mom-preneurs”. We understand the struggle of having work-life balance while doing everything we can to be the best business owners and moms at the same time.  Although I’m sure it’s not always a piece of cake, Betsy has a way of making it seem that way. She’s a great mom to a beautiful lively little three year old and is totally kicking butt as CEO of her event planning business.

Just this year she’s expanded her business to a more local clientele and has a new office on Adams street in downtown Toledo. This is a huge step and I couldn’t be more excited to see where this expanded venture with Jacoby Expo takes her.

To add to it all she is an Independent Distributor for Lipsense. Catch her updates over at Beauty by Boo.

As always, it was fun catching up and taking some head shots of her and Katy and a few interior photos of the new space!
