There’s MUCH more coming but I wanted to share this one image with Faith + family before I dive into the rest of the photos when I get home from Vegas.

This was taken at the end of a fun 3 hour shoot with Faith and her family and I love it because Faith cracked a real smile (it was a tough day for her :/ ) that seems to almost be laughing at how crazy that moment was. Trinity (top left) was posing, and Aubrey (littlest in the Tutu) wouldn’t sit still. Parents trying to get everyone’s attention. I’m laughing behind the camera. Kelli is probably standing behind me cracking jokes to get everyone to smile.

Some of you have read my FB or Twitter postings about this shoot with Faith’s family but for those of you that are unaware, please read more about Faith here. I’ll have more info and photos on the full blog posting.

My best description for the Morrison’s early December shoot: Crayola. Feels like a box of markers. Or maybe some spilled paint. And I love it. I just wish we had thrown in a teal bike or something to give it one more color ;) Have I made my point yet? When we shoot your session, wear some COLOR!!!! I think it’s been a while since I haven’t found some way to brighten up a shoot. I can’t get enough of it. I promise you’ll be much happier with the photos, too. And if you need a little help, I have a FABULOUS wardrobe stylist. She’ll either pick it out or talk you through it. I mean, she can literally go to your home and outfit your entire family with items you would have never thought to put together. Let me know if you want more info about it.

PS – I’m pretty sure people PAY to get hair as amazing as little Eliana (the precious red-ish head)

I don’t remember WHY Matt was making this face but he’s hilarious so I’m going to assume he just said something ridiculous and thought he made a funny :) Beth rolls with it.

This fall, I was so excited to get a call from the Drake family! I used to work with Keri at sbc advertising in Columbus. She was about two months-ish away from delivering little Opal (in the next post after this one) and wanted to get some fun family shots. So we set up a lifestyle session at the Park of Roses in Clintonville. The light was beautiful and Keri and Lucy rocked out some amazing colors. I was so SO excited when they showed up decked out in all their brightness.

Here are some faves:

I’ve been dying to share this one with you! So let’s just get right to it. OH! and feel free to leave some love for Hayley in the comments. She’s probably heard enough sad stuff since her hubby was deployed last month. I think happy “cute kids” and “wish I had your hair” kind of comments are more than welcome here! ;)

Poor little Hudson was pretty sick that day :/  But we managed to get a smile out of him…

(below) These are truly the kinds of portraits I want all of my client to be able to take home. This is who the Lovett’s are. Playful. Happy. W/ curious kids.

I know it’s a bit unbalanced: Miley pics vs. rest of the family. But seriously… this child….

Lauryn Byrdy Photography_Columbus Ohio Lifestyle Family Photographer

Then there’s Scott and Hayley. 

Lauryn Byrdy Photography_Columbus Ohio Lifestyle Family Photographer

And I’m pretty sure she won some sorta “Hot mom 2009″ award. Ok not really, but she should. Someone submit her photo.

Here is what I loved most about this session: Hayley’s attention to the details. She took everything I said about color and clothing and coordinating but not matching and showed up in something brilliant. I was thrilled to see all the colors. And they looked beautiful with the time of day and at-home setting.

Heller {Lifestyle Family}

January 21, 2010

Meet Sarah. The rest of her family was at the shoot, I promise. But this cutie-patoot kinda stole the show. If you’ve had a session with me, you know I don’t pose you. Only if you reeeeeeally need me to and ask nicely:) But Sarah didn’t ask, nor need. She worked it. WORKED IT>

And I laughed. Because it was just so stinkin cute;)

Carol, at the time, was pregnant with their son so this shoot was family>maternity>lifestyle children’s portrait all rolled into one! 

Lauryn Byrdy Photography_Columbus Ohio Lifestyle Family Photographer

Oh wait…back to Sarah. We got off track.

I hurried home from this morning’s session and started sifting through the 1500 images. Can’t WAIT to start working on them!

Love this shot because Eric has the best face. Looks like he’s singing Christmas Carols to the family…or maybe he’s making fun of me. I guess I can be a bit ridiculous at shoots :)

And the catching-up continues:) 

I’d be lying if I said I’m posting all my favorites for you here because there were a whole lot more I wanted to share. But I need to stop somewhere! The Hoops were one of many families this fall that combined a milestone shoot of their child with some lifestyle family session time. Happy to do it and especially love when I know there’s another session coming in the near future to watch these cuties grow!

Meet: the back of Ally’s head. The hair bows are adorable and worthy of their own picture.

Jonathan played soccer in college so naturally little Ally would be a little soccer buff.

I don’t even remember what was happening here. It’s just cute.

Sometimes a mistake isn’t really a mistake. Lovin the action shot. They were all over the ground!

More families and babies!

November 22, 2009

Here are a few more from Thursday, Friday and tonight! I can’t wait to share these full sessions with you…

 

Leigh-Ann couldn’t get enough of the gigantic stuff beaver in her room (her last name is Beavers…so appropriate that she’d have this animal in her room:)

Baby Emery yawning toward the end of her action-packed session. Besides peeing on the bed during her nakey pics, the session was perfect. Actually, the peeing on the bed incident was kinda cute too.

The super adorable and very preggo Keri and her lovely daughter Lucy.
