Andy is a Big Brother - Cincinnati Newborn Photographer

Remember Andy?



He was my first one year package kid. I took his newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, one year and 18 month pictures. Now he is 2 and a Big Brother to Henry! gosh do I love that name!

Finn was almost a Henry... or Sam!

Anyways... meet Henry!

You know I am a Mom of boys because

Welcome Baby Braxton - Cincinnati Birth Photographer

I have been waiting for this baby for about 3 weeks now. At some point they were talking c-section, then early induction and well here he is... 8 days past his due date!

But then he came quick. I thought I had all day to get ready, send the kids off to daycare/ school but instead my phone rang at 6am and Mom was already at 8cm.

I did make it though on time and at 9:31am Braxton was here.

He weighed in 9lbs 10 oz and is just perfect. Mom did great and even Dad surprised everybody on how well he handled all the blood ;)

I love my job. Watching babies enter this world never gets boring!

Welcome Aveleen

Here is the slideshow of Aveleen's birth.

I know I already said this but this was the most amazing way ever to spend Valentine's Day.

Aveleen was born only a few hours after her Mommy was induced. Labor was short but hard.

Aveleen's Mommy did so great without any medication and the result was an almost 10 pound baby!

Welcome Aveleen!

365/63 - Leprechaun Trap - Cincinnati Family Photographer

Jake came home yesterday from school, so excited... all i could understand was "leprechaun", "trap", "mess"...
He handed me a note from his teacher, basically explaining that Leprechaun mess up their classroom ever St. Patrick's Day and that the students need to build traps to capture them.
Wow! Jake had some amazing ideas on how to capture them, sadly I have no idea how to build a remote control that will trigger laser beams... sorry Jake!
We went instead with a (regular old boring) Wipes box... hey it is already green and has a great trap door! We glued coins all over the lid and decorated it with things Leprechauns like (green glitter and shamrocks, right?). The idea here is, that the Leprechaun will see the rainbow, see the gold and the money and when he grabs the money he will fall down in the hole and can't come back up!



Wish us luck that we catch on of those Leprechauns!!!

365/65 - home - Cincinnati Family Photographer

I met a few of my German girlfriends for some great German beer, music and food... home.

365/60 - Peter Pan - Cincinnati Family Photographer

Another sleepless night because of Finn and I ended up on the bottom bunk of Jake's bed.

I woke up to some stirring above and saw this



I grabbed my phone and took a quick picture.

Remindes me a little of Peter Pan.
