Bringing Home Our Baby [Columbus, Ohio Family Photographer]

As many of you know, for the past year, we have been trying to add to our family via foster to adopt. We have now had three devastating fall-throughs, and are ready to move on to a private adoption agency. Unfortunately, adoption is very costly. We know this all too well, as we also adopted our 6 year old daughter at birth through a private agency. To try to offset the cost of this adoption to bring the newest member of our family home, we are doing multiple fundraisers. One of these fundraisers is a HUGE deal to my clients. I am going to be offering Adoption Fundraiser Mini-Sessions. All of the money from these mini-sessions will be going in to our adoption fund, to hopefully bring our baby home by the end of 2011. My daughter is SO ready to be a big sister, and we are SO ready to bring our forever baby home. I plan on offering several mini-session days, and will post dates once I have a list of people interested. Please email me if you are interested and I will let you know what dates will be available! Thank you for helping us bring our baby home.

Expecting a Surprise! [Columbus, Ohio Maternity Phographer]

I met with this beautiful Momma and her family a couple of weeks ago. She has two little boys and a surprise on the way! Her boys were SO much fun and so stinking cute. They were so cute getting their picture taken with their mom, and can't wait to meet "their baby." I can't wait to meet their baby either, in just a couple of weeks! Thanks, Jessica for a great session!

Andrew at 11 months [Columbus, Ohio Baby Photographer]

Isn't he handsome? Andrew was 11 months old when he came to see me. I've been photographing this little guy since he was in his momma's tummy. It's amazing to see how much he's changed! I can't wait to do his 1st birthday session next month! Thanks for being such a happy boy for me, Andrew!

Sweet Claudia Turns One! [Hilliard, Ohio Baby Photographer]

I have been photographing this sweet girl since she was 6 weeks old. She has come to visit me 5 times in the past year, and it was very bittersweet photographing her for her 1st birthday shoot! It's always hard to watch my 1st year clients grow up! It's amazing how quickly time goes, and how attached I become to these little people. Happy Birthday, Claudia Jane! I can't wait to see you grow up in the years to come!

Meeting Rowan [Columbus, OH Newborn Photographer]

I met Rowan at the tender age of 9 days. She was such a sweetheart and slept like a dream. Her mom & I met almost 11 years ago, as new nurses starting out in the NICU. I hadn't seen her since my daughter was born almost 6 1/2 years ago. So, I was extremely excited when she contacted me to do Rowan's newborn pictures. We had a nice time catching up, and I really enjoyed meeting Rowan and her big brother, Gabe. They are such a beautiful family!

Referral Incentive [Columbus, OH Newborn Photographer]

I have an awesome referral incentive for my clients!

Everyone who knows me knows that newborns are where my heart is. Babies are the best thing on Earth. I have the best job in the world, both as an NICU nurse, and as a photographer to babies! So, I am offering an awesome referral incentive for newborn sessions.

For every newborn that you refer to me that books and completes a session, you get a FREE session fee (save $100). And, the newborn session that you refer receives a free gift print ($25 value). So, if you know someone that is expecting, send them my way!

(P.S. If you are new client that is interested in booking a newborn session, and are not a referral, but are reading this post, just let me know that you saw this post on my blog, and you will receive a free gift print with your session as well!)

Meeting Sophie [Columbus, Ohio Newborn Photographer]

I had the pleasure of meeting Sophie's parents in December to do their maternity photos. She wasn't supposed to arrive until 2011, but Sophie decided to make her entrance at the end of 2010. I was so excited to do this session, because after meeting her parents and her big brother, I just knew this baby was going to be gorgeous...and I was right. She was breathtaking, and was such a good baby. She slept like a dream and I am so happy with the shots that we got. I can't wait to post her entire gallery for her parents.
