Creativity lies in the hand of an iPhone holder.

Making art out of the ordinary....

Yesterday I finally washed winter off of my car. Well, Dave washed and I sat inside snapping pictures with my iPhone. If you know me you already know this, because I say it every day, I looooooove my iPhone. I have a bad ass camera with me at all times because I have an iPhone. I am never ever bored because when I am not snapping pics I am processing images using one of the many awesome Apps available to use on my phone.

I have seriously taken some of my favorite pictures using my phone. I am ready for a mobile picture revolution via the iPhone, if you have an iPhone you should join me, it is fun! :)

Cade's year old session/Cincinnati Family Photographer

If this handsome little guy looks familiar to you it is because he and his parent's are all over the Life section of my website. This is Cade and his parent's Sarah and Ryan.

I just love the way his last photo session came out, so much love came through in those images. I was excited when Sarah emailed me about a year old session. Cade is walking now so we decided to have this session at a park where we could let him run around and have fun. Since this was his first adventure to the park, it was neat to watch him discover leaves and grass for the first time. I always get all warm and fuzzy when I think about how awesome it is to be able to experience all of the milestone's in people's lives with them and to be able to give them beautiful photographs to remember them by.

I will never turn my back on you, though at times I need you to follow.

Newborn session/Cincinnati photographer

I cant even begin to tell you how much I adore this family. You might remember Lindsay and David from the wedding I photographed in May. They are quickly approaching their one year anniversary. What better gift than a healthy little baby boy to celebrate! Since Lindsay has pretty much referred almost half of the weddings I have booked this year I decided I needed to return the favor by gifting her a newborn session with Baby David. He slept the entire time and we had fun laying him near every window in the house. The pictures turned out beautiful! I found it impossible to choose what to post... so I posted lots :) I am photographing Lindsay's sister, Ashley's wedding in June so I am sure you will see more of this sweet little boy soon.

*Remember it is best to schedule your newborn session within the first two weeks of birth. Babies are still sleeping a lot, they aren't as bothered by moving them around.

Random thought...

Who says you have to spend a ton of money on your wedding dress. While I was at the mall shopping the other day I noticed the department stores were displaying their prom dresses. Call me crazy, but I think these two would make pretty awesome wedding dresses as well. The first one would be perfect for a chic, trendy wedding and the second is flowey and simple, perfect for a summer or destination wedding.

More money for the honeymoon!

Cincinnati Boudoir Photographer

Last Saturday I hosted another boudoir marathon at a local hotel near Cincinnati. We had a blast and the images turned out absolutely stunning. I wish I could share more, but the women I photographed opted to keep their sessions for his eyes only.

This brings up a great topic to discuss about boudoir sessions. When you book a boudoir session be assured that your privacy is very important to me. No one sees your images, except me. The pictures that end up on my blog and website are there with permission only. I appreciate all of the women who allowed me to use their images, but I totally understand if you would rather your images remain private.

Wedding season is approaching fast ladies, surprise your groom with a sexy boudoir album for him to cherish forever, I can guarantee you he will love it! (and you will too!)
