Maternity Photography Columbus, OH

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting Brandy and her husband for a maternity session in my studio!  I love meeting my newborn families before the arrival of their baby!

Brandy and I planned her session together.  She brought the beautiful red gown, and I thought the pink one she chose from my collection was perfect since she's expecting a baby girl next week!  She's just glowing and I love the gallery images from her session.

We talked about the preparing and arrival for their baby girl.   Mom and dad have planned a Disney themed nursery.  I love Disney myself and can't wait to see how it all turned out!  Soon I will be welcoming their sweet baby girl for her newborn session.  I can't wait to capture more memories for you Halligan family!

Columbus Ohio Children and Birthday Photography 

I don't usually share personal photos on my blog, but I want to share my daughter's images for her third birthday party we had last weekend!  Yesterday I shared the images I did of the glitter session with her and you can view those

Our children are both obsessed with all things Disney and so am I!  Last Halloween they were Moana and Maui for trick or treat.  They have both loved the movie Moana since tit cam out.  We took a 10 day family vacation to Disney this past November so I wasn't surprised when our daughter asked for a Moana themed 3rd birthday party!

I knew the party would be so fun to plan.  All the Hawaiian and luau themed decorations at the party store and ideas I found on pinterest helped with my crafting ideas!  A few weeks before the party I thought it would be awesome if I could find "Moana" to come to her party.  With some searching I spoke with Elle from Columbus Party Princess Productions.  I was so excited to find someone and love how much fun the party was!

We didn't tell our daughter that Moana was coming.  It was a complete surprise when she arrived.  The smile and joy on our daughter's face was priceless!!  Moana stayed for an hour.  She played a game of Moana says with the kids, did face painting, read the kids the story of "Moana" and sang "How Far I'll Go" from the movie!  She also led the singing of Happy Birthday and stayed for gift opening.  All of the children enjoyed the party and it was a wonderful experience.

I loved decorating for this party and all the details that came together.  If you're looking for a princess or even superhero appearance for your little one's birthday, I highly recommend Columbus Party Princess Productions.  Here are some images from her party!

Newborn Photographer Columbus Ohio

A few weeks ago I had the honor of meeting baby Finn for his newborn session.  I was honored this family from Worthington, OH chose me to photograph their precious baby boy!

I typically do all my newborn sessions in the first 14 days of life.  This is when they are most sleepy, and easiest to pose to create beautiful image galleries!  One Saturday morning Finn's mother contacted me about a newborn session and said he was 3 weeks old.  After chatting for a few minutes we found out I actually work with Finn's father at Nationwide Children's Hospital.  Small world!

Finn is so adorable and was one of the biggest babies I've ever photograph.  This handsome boy was over 9 lb!  He was awake for some of his session, but once I got him wrapped he loved it and slept for us.  He did great being almost a month old for his newborn session.

I love his gallery of images and I love all the prop poses we did.  HIs mother actually chose my favorite image as a canvas to hang in their home.  I will post it first.  Congratulations again Deepa and Devin.  I hope these newborn images bring you many smiles and memories for years to come!!  Thank you for choosing me as your newborn photographer.

Today Jeff's family from Hilliard, Ohio came for their viewing and ordering appointment and I can't wait to share his gallery!  His gallery is full of blue and cream props that made a gorgeous gallery of images!

When Jeff's mother first contacted me she was close to delivery and I'm excited to be chosen as their newborn photographer.  This little guy waited to make his entrance into the world and was almost a week overdue!  His cuteness makes ups or it though.  He has the chubbiest cheeks that I just love!

Jeff did awesome for his session.  He slept and let me do all of the poses I do on the beanbag.  I especially love the images of him wearing the cream romper on the blue backdrop.  I even got a little smile from him!  He then decided he wanted to eat and eat.  Finally I got him wrapped and he was asleep once again!

I love meeting all my amazing clients and families and talking to them about what they do for a living as well.  Jeff's parents are also medical professional so we share something in common!  Thank you again Hartef family for choosing me as your newborn photographer.  I hope these images bring you many memories for years to come!
