Oh and he’s in the most adorable lion button-up from Lottie Da

Amy has done it again. She’s come out with the most colorful, creative, textured and fun dresses in town! (And I’d say some of the BEST on Etsy!)
You may even see some of these changed up for fall:) I had the pleasure to shoot with a bunch of cuties again while they played in the new styles. They were A-DORABLE.




We did a shoot yesterday afternoon with 4 cuties for Lottie Da’s newest collection and a few summer faves.
This shot was a favorite from the evening:) And I seriously can’t get enough of this dress!


Alright, I totally tried to drag this out but it’s been guessed already so I thought I’d just spill the beans:) I’m terrible at keeping secrets like this anyway…
WE HAVE AN OFFICE!

And by “we” I mean: me. ANNNNNND… Kara (not pictured above) – super fab wardrobe stylist from NYC. Kelli (right, above) – diva make-up artist. Leanna (left, above) – not-a-hair-out-of-place hair perfection.
We’ve been rushing around. Signing a lease. Planning the interior design. Scheduling meetings (already!) and dreaming about a grand opening party to share the finished studio with all of you!
There are bigger plans still in the works but more that later. Maybe I’ll have Leanna guest blog that one:) We’re thrilled to share this news and can’t wait to have all of you visit us!
New addy: 433 W. 3rd Ave., Columbus OH 43201
Here’s a little tour I recorded when we were still in the search process.

First off – I’m still an on-location photographer. THe studio will be the meeting and event location. Hair, make-up and wardrobe styling will happen here. However, we are also fully capable of shooting commercial and portrait inside. The place is huge and beautifully naturally lit. So if you don’t get great light in your home and want to have your newborn shoot here, we’re happy to have you!
And I know what you’re next question is. The answer to it, “YES”. Matt and I are still going to be in London England this January/Feb and in Portland Feb-May. I will be booking one wedding a month from Feb to May and scheduling senior, family, kids and engagement portraits to occur during the time we fly home that month (for only about 4 days in Ohio). We’ll be back here in May.
I know I’m getting out of order by posting this recent shoot before some of the Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan sessions I’m still wrapping up, but I really wanted to post this one! I finished edits for the Drake family today and couldn’t get over how adorable little Opal is:) These a a few faves:
The hat was made by a friend of Keri’s. It’s a cupcake!

OH! Loved this. Lucy, partially pictured above, wanted to run her own little photoshoot. Completely adorable. So after i took a few pics, she slid into, had the family squeeze together and she snapped shots on her Nintendo DS (i think that’s what it was?) She was taking forever because she wanted to draw hearts or stars or sparkles or something around their faces…and Keri and Jeff wanted to know if they could stop posing for her:
“are you done Lucy? Lucy? Uh Lucy?”
“Hang on mom, i’m putting sparkles”.
Too cute.





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!


LOVE all the colors happening here V


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….

Then there’s Scott and Hayley.

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.
A seriously cute and super active little newborn I spent the afternoon with today! :)

The SWEET hat Greyson is sportin is from Lottie Da in Clintonville.
