Peter {1 year} | Canton, Ohio Portrait Photographer

Well I don't even know where to start with this little guy.  At just over one year old, Peter has already battled Neuroblastoma.  He is off treatment but still goes through a series of partial body castings.  Due to the way the tumor pressed on his spine, it is curving and he is far too young for surgery to fix it.


Peter and his parents met me at the studio to get his very first portraits taken. From the moment that we met Peter he was all smiles!!  It had been raining daily and was starting to get cold but we were able to sneak a few photos at McKinley Monument Park here in Canton and then head over to the studio.


I am so honored that Peter's parents entrusted me photograph their little man and a huge 'Thank you!' to Kids Cancer Crusade for sending this precious family my way!

 

Jayden turns One!!

So I got the pleasure of having this little cutie in today for his 1 year pictures.  

We started off at the studio and took a few shots then we ended up heading down to the ball field and railroad tracks by Monument park.    

Ok so let me first say I knew it was in the forecast to rain...BUT....I really thought we'd have some sort of warning first.  A little sprinkle and then it to really rain, you know like it normally would. 

Nope, I was asking too much!!  I was able to get a few shots of little man on the tracks and then a few in the grass.  His momma wanted him to have some fun with a cupcake too!  I'm all for this because I just love messy kid shots.  Wouldn't you know he took two bites of that yumm-a-licious cupcake and BAM...downpour!!!!    When I say downpour....I mean downpour!  Oh and let's not forget the gusting wind that followed!! (I would've grabbed a pic just to show but I had dirt and sand flying at me...lol)

Needless to say we didn't get to finish our session so little cutie pie will be heading back to see me tomorrow to finish his smash cake!

In the meantime, here's a few images we got today

Check back soon for more pics of this precious little guy!!

Sleeping Beauty - Disney inspired Princess Photoshoot (cont.)

I left off the last post with Snow White & Cinderella.  Now let's see how sweet our little Sleeping Beauty is....

First we'll start with Sleeping Beauty.  Natalie was the perfect princess for the job.  I just can't say how much I adore her!!  ♥

I think this might be my favorite!  Isn't she just adorable!!

Disney inspired Princess Photoshoot

A little while back I announced that I will be introducing a Disney inspired princess photoshoot.  We invited five (5) girls into the studio and they each got to dress up as their favorite Disney princess.  The girls ages were from 3 to 6 years old. 

My vision for this photoshoot was something fun and special for little girls.  The idea is to have a 20-30 minute photo session (or mini session) for little girls who like to dress up and well be a princess.  Afterall....all girls are princesses.   I will be accepting a small number of mini sessions each month that is geared toward a specific theme. 

Here's a photo of all the girls together.  

From left to right, we had Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, & Rapunzel.

Jade came in and became Snow White for a few hours.   Jade's hair piece was donated from the wonderfully talented gals from Spare Time Treasures. 

Lola was our Cinderella.  All of Lola's adorable hair pieces were made by Chrissie from Bell Bells Bowtique

to be continued with all of the other princesses!!

Baby Ava visited the studio! {Canton, Ohio Studio photography}

I'm up late editing so I thought I'd take a quick break and share some photos of the sweetest little baby girl!  I was so excited to have Miss Ava in the studio.  Not only is she the daughter of an old high school friend,  she is just so precious, cute and really just a good baby.

Here's some of the images we captured....

Sweetest picture of baby lips...just sayin ♥

I just can't get enough of her!!
