Priceless expressions for free. Columbus Baby Photography

Eli. 6 Months.

Look at this little stinker. Such expression. Such happiness. He’s such a joy.

Love his eyes!


Santa’s Favorite. I believe it!

One Year Already. Columbus Baby Photography

Anabelle.  She is a One Year Old Already!

This session was particularly bittersweet for me.  I’ve been taking photographs of Anabelle throughout her first year.  I can’t believe it has gone this fast.  I really look forward to seeing her every couple of months.  I have really fallen in love with this little girl and have become great friends with her mommy.  So when we said goodbye after her one year session, I couldn’t help but tear up.

Now mommy and daddy need to have another little one so I can continue to see you all the time!



WEEEEEEEeeee…


This cracks me up. Check out her little feet. It’s a rough job dressing cute!

Yay, I love my mommy!

I love her expression here.

See. Anabelle is just as upset as me that this is her last shoot. Real tears and all!

Warm Cozy Hats and Sweaters. Columbus Family Photography

The Bates. Love, love, love this family!

I love the startled mom face I get when I first arrive to a house of a family with little ones. It’s that, oh my, did I really just run around the house with my head cut off getting together the perfect outfits and hats. Are the kids going to look okay? Are they going to act okay? Did I really get everything together, including the snot from my toddlers nose and my husband dressing half way decent. Oh, not to mention myself. I have make up on. Wow.” face. That’s the face Heidi gave me as she greeted me for her family pictures.

And, of course, the family looked adorable. They always do.

Look at these darling littles with their warm cozy sweaters and darling hats.


Jackson. He’s such a ham!

LOVE this. She couldn’t get any cuter! Mom and baby girl.

The perfect little family.

Two Baby Bumps. Columbus Maternity Photography

Kim. Maternity.

Oh, this hits close to home. As you know my little girl is growing in my belly. Miss Kim has a little girl growing in hers too. Delaney Eileen. Eileen is Kim’s grandmothers name.

There is just something about a baby bump that makes me smile. We had a great time discussing all of our pregnancy stories. Good and Bad. Happy and Sad. One thing we have in common…we are both so ecstatic to meet our little girls.

Isn’t she glowing?!

“Light girl” posing Kim. Thank you for your help Light girl. 🙂
Kim and I looking like our bellies are rubbing together. For good luck of course.

A birthday and a bunny. Columbus Baby Photography

Adriana.  A One Year Old.

This little girl is such a joy.  So happy.  And oh-so mobile!  We could barely keep her on my backdrop.  She brought along her bunny, Rufus.  Rufus was actually less mobile than little Adriana!  So cute.


Pretty in Pink.

Meet Rufus. Adriana was eating his ear. He didn’t seem to mind at all.

Happy One Year little Adriana!

Mmm…sugar. Sugar and Spice and everything nice. That’s what little girls are made of.

Christmas is coming with the Kemelgors. Columbus Family Photography

The Kemelgor kids.

So adorable. So happy. Love them!

You may remember the Kemelgor summer pictures from last year, HERE. Then Drew came along with his newborn shoot, HERE. Now it’s time for 3 month pictures and some Christmas card delight.

Look at this little guy! So happy.

And his big sisters. Caroline and Leah. Pretty girls.

And, I love this. Leah looking at Drew. Caroline looking at Leah. Drew looking at mommy. Love.

Fun with daddy. Good thing their ceilings are so tall! Caroline was scared to let go of daddy’s hand.


Happy 3 months little Drew bear. I’ll see you at 6 months!

One of my gymnasts is graduating! Columbus Senior Photography

Paige. Senior Pictures. Class of 2011. Central Crossing High School.

Paige was so much fun. She is so cute, pretty and spunky! I’ve known Paige since she was just a little girl. I taught her gymnastics years ago. She was quite a handful then! She’s matured into such a beautiful young woman. Congrats on your senior year Paige! I wish you all the luck in your upcoming years.


WHOA…she is smokin’ hot!


Love this. “Light Girl” Ana had this idea. LOVE it!

Multiple uses for a photography umbrella. Who woulda thunk it.


Hello beautiful sky!

I totally love this chair! It sits in the office at That Gym on Grandview. Ashley and Demi let me steal it just for this shoot. Thanks ladies. Thanks That Gym!

If anyone needs a fabulous trainer, check these chicks out!

Paige couldn’t keep the chair from rolling away from the wall. It was quite hilarious!

Football, wrestling and a firefighter. Columbus Senior Photography

Ryan. Senior Pictures. Class of 2011. West Jefferson High School.

Wow. Ryan is a busy bee! A football player, a wrestler and in school to be a firefighter. I’m positive his parents are so proud. Congrats on your upcoming graduation, Ryan.

I dig this first shot. AWESOME!


Ryan and his girlfriend…way at the top.



HOT!


Lensbabies!

The Happy Hagerdorns. Columbus Family Photography

The Hagerdorn Family.

My beautiful cousin Ashley graciously asked me to take her family photos. Ashley and I grew up together. Practically sisters. Still to this day, we are so very close. It was really neat to see her with her little family and capture some wonderful memories.

Here is our lovely fall day at Jeffrey Mansion.


Look at Ry. Little rascal.




The Hagerdorns and The Hagerdorns.




Pretty Payton.

Addie Mae is crackin’ up!


Best Cousins Ever. Ash and I (and Pixie).

Hilarious. It is very difficult for the average folk to put a diffuser away. And it’s very funny to watch them try. Aaron was determined. Then Ash. And Bryn succeeded.

An elvis mask, a knife from 1974 and true love.

Sarah and Josh.  Married.

There are those people who you just have that feeling about.  You know, the ones you just know are good people.  Sarah and Josh are these people.  Inside.  Outside.  All sides.  Beautiful, good people.

They’ve been together for many, many years.  And, finally, they have one love shared by two hearts.

Your day was gorgeous and a perfect depiction of your love for one another.  Thank you for opening your hearts and letting me capture it all.  Much Love!

I love her smirk. A little look to see her wedding gown being tied up her back. Just lovely.


Now this girl knows how to look stunning in a gown!



I’m super duper excited when a couple sees each other before the ceremony. Sarah and Josh wanted plenty of time for photos and to enjoy their day, so we trampled the streets of Troy, finding all the good crevices of the city. Oh so fabulous!



Roberta’s idea. I dig it.


So we are having a grand time in an alley when I hear a train. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to shoot a bride and groom with a moving train. As soon as I hear it I yell, “let’s go”. This pregnant girl ran so fast, let me tell you. I wanted to find this train! They probably thought I was a loon when I yelled, “just stand there and make out”. I got my shot. The one I’ve been waiting for. Crazy or not, it was SO worth the sprint!

I think they are laughing because they just realized their photographer is a loon.

Sarah, you are STUNNING!




Ohhh, how I love the purple shoes.



This unique little shop was gracious enough to let us use some fun masks to complete this shot. LOVE!



And I love the alleys in Troy!


Along with this hilarious bridal party.

I love this shot. Check out Sarah’s sister in the back. Hehe.

Just stating the obvious. This rocks.







This is all Josh.

This little man wants to grow up to be just like his Uncle.



Here comes the bride.



Roberta captured this.  This right here is priceless. A proud proud grandma and a tired tired little ring bearer.






All the hottest photographers sit at table 31. Yeah, I said it!




This was the knife Sarah’s parents used to cut their cake back in 1974. Sarah and Josh’s names are engraved beside her parents…and her father says her sisters will be there someday too. How neat.

Beautiful details. A treasured locket with the couples name.


Ha. Sarah’s sister-in-law wants nothing to do with catching the bouquet. That beverage was much more important!

But Sarah’s sister makes the BIG catch!



Okay, I love my clients! Especially when they include me in their special day. Check out this AWESOME mad lib and “Crystal Jo Foto” shout out!


We had a rockin’ good foto booth! Thank you to Tasha for running the “booth”. You can find these hot photographers right here at table 31. 🙂


Oh for fun. Some behind the scenes…

Hey, what’s an f-stop again?

Roberta, she’s flexible. Crystal Jo, she’s just cool. And pregnant. See Pixie popping out?

Here’s Tasha. Rockin’ your socks off.
