Off to College ...

Sometimes you're just lucky enough to make great friends in middle school and even luckier to have them by your side at graduation and into college. These three girls have been that for each other. It was a pleasure shooting them as they prepare to head off to college together. It was a pleasure shooting three of you. I wish you great luck on your this amazing adventure! ~ B

I always look forward to shooting the beautiful streets of Covington when I get the chance. The rich textures, the history lined streets, the impressive Roebling and the skyline of our gorgeous city peaking over the Ohio, all provide an amazing backdrop. Add to that, an intelligent and handsome senior along with a portion of his gorgeous family and you're assured an easy evening. Ben and family, thank you so much for the time, it was genuinely a pleasure. I wish you great success at UC, Ben, and beyond - I've no doubt this new season will be an excellent one! ~ B

I met this lovely senior and her family downtown for a windy shoot! We weren't sure that the weather would cooperate but ended up with a fantastic evening. I love the textures that urban shoots provide and wind and skies full of enormous clouds only prove to add to them. Jayda, it was a pleasure wandering with you. Thank you for allowing me the time. I wish you the absolute best as you near the very end of senior year. Courtney and Ernie, thank you again for letting me photograph your beautiful girl, I'm so grateful. I look forward to seeing you again for her summer short. :) ~ B

September usually brings some cooler weather for shooting, that wasn't the case for this Tuesday evening shoot downtown. Temps hung in the 90s with the lovely Cincinnati humidity for our entire time but this beautiful senior and her mom, didn't have one complaint. We enjoyed wandering downtown Cincy and Eden Park and had a ton of pictures as a result. This gorgeous senior was a natural in front of the camera and her laid back, energentic personality shone through. Grace and Donna, it was truly a pleasure walking this out with you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity, I look forward to seeing what the year brings for you all. ~ B

A Wee Bit of Heaven ...

A Wee Bit of Heaven ...

This sweet boy was wide eyed and incredibly chill the entire shoot.  And while a sleeping babe is easy to position this little guy was brute strength each time we placed him on his belly; holding himself up on his elbows, pushing with his feet, trying to lift his head.  It blew me away how strong this wee babe is and made me smile, knowing full well that his gorgeous Momma, Dad and big brother are gonna be kept on their toes keeping up with this guy.  He may be little and the youngest in the beautiful family but I'm sure his might will be obvious with each passing day and if he is anything like the rest, his strength won't only be seen in his physique but also in his intelligence and humility.  Tiffany, Shawn and Shawn, Congrats on on baby Adyn.  He is as handsome as they come.  Thank you so much for allowing me the time with you all, it was a true pleasure. ~ B

Welcome To The World Little Bean ...

Welcome To The World Little Bean ...

The day may have been cold and rainy but spending a couple hours with this sweet family you would never have known.  This beautiful babe was a mere six days old and teeny as she was she filled a big space. I walked into her gorgeous nursery, blankets in tow, and watched these new parents as they doted on their sweet girl.  As a parent with older children it is easy to forget how amazing new babies are.  The moment I held this girl I felt as if I was holding something incredibly precious and I was.  Each teeny baby is a huge reminder of our short time here, of how quickly they grow and how wonderfully inexplicable loving them is.  This small addition squeaked and stretched her way through our morning together, more contented than I would have thought.  Her delicate arms stretching out her clenched fists as she'd gather her head in wrinkles with big yawns and knees pulled in tight, sleeping through most transitions.  Her chubby, soft cheeks and her tulip shaped lips puckered as she dreamt.  I couldn't help but step back and envy the season for this couple, though it's a convoluted, sleep deprived, worry filled one, it is also one filled with a flooding of love that like water seeping into cracks, can cast great light on even the hardest to reach of corners.  B & A, your E is absolutely perfect and I wish you many, many blessings in life.  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of these treasured moments with you!  ~ B

What amazing weather we had for the end of November with this beautiful family of 6.  They were troopers as their brood ventured through downed trees, dry creeks and steep inclines as we sought the sun in open spaces.  I was genuinely impressed with the love that they exuded for one another as these siblings not only joked with one another but even spoke of being inspired by one another.  As I inquired to the "secret" of their warmth for each other, both parents joked, but in truth it was obvious that there is an inner joy residing in this family of 6 and that joy works to develop a love and respect that seems ten fold.  These sweet kiddos and their wonderful parents were a fun crew to wander with.  I am so thankful you, A & M, allowed me the absolute privilege of photographing your beautiful family! ~ B Gallery

 

Mommas & Daughters ...

Gallery Heavy rain and rolling clouds have a beautiful way about them.  The quick session with this gorgeous Momma and her stunning girlies wasn't going to be hindered by the weather.  So of course, parking garages being absolutely fantastic places, we defaulted to the perfect one for a change of venue!  These pictures just remind me how much I love a terrific grey and with these beauties it was just the pop on what would have been an otherwise dreary day! ~ B

Rainbows in Random Places ...

Rainbows in Random Places ...

What do you do when you're off for the weekend?  You grab your daughter and one of her friends and drag them out for impromptu pictures.  When we arrived T expressed that she felt as if she was in a giant's house with the large, expansive pillars and wide open spaces.  Likening it to a scene from "Jack and The Beanstalk".  The girls ran freely around this place, uncontained by the influence of an outside world that buzzed loudly by in passing vehicles, they sprinted and laughed throughout the garage, finding perfect echo spots and picking which color was their favorite.  The giggles echoing through these open walls rang sweetly across the cemented ground.  What a blast to just enjoy a unique space with these cheerful beauties, proving that anything, even parking garages, can lend itself well to photographs! ~ B

I am one lucky girl to get to spend my weekends wandering about beautiful places with some of the friendliest people you'd find.  I knew that would be the case for this shoot, what I didn't know is that it would be times 100.  We arrived at the Cincinnati Nature Center on what was their Hoots and Hops night.  There was the obvious fragrance of ale in the air and countless sweet smiles of staff and visitors roaming the trails along side my senior and her Momma.  As we maneuvered through the attending Cincinnati Observatory's incredible scopes set up for night viewing, we were greeted with kind words and laughing people the entire time. Good strangers jumped in for a quick game of photo bombing as they'd pass through, offering compliments and congratulatory accolades to my beautiful senior whose glowing eyes glistened & changed amazingly as the sun's dancing rays landed upon them in different places. This girly fit perfectly among this reserve, sitting amidst lace-y flowers enhanced by her smile, while the grasshoppers skittered about as if speaking a fitting "how do you do?" to this lively beaut.  It was my absolute pleasure spending the evening with this charming chica and her beautiful Mom.  Thank you so much for granting me the opportunity to record this ticket in time! ~ B Gallery
