Bean is TWO! {Toledo Child Photography}

Monday, February 11th, 2013

I can not believe how much the time has flown since my little one was new. It has been by far the best two years of my life. I really wish time would slow down….if these two years have gone this fast I can only imagine that I will blink and he will be moving away to college ::sigh:: I love this little boy with all my heart and if I say so he's quite dapper (and a tad sassy).

He was all pumped about putting his hands in his pockets…thought he was a big boy! He also HAD to wear his hat. He is starting to have opinions about his wardrobe. Hats are usually a must in his eyes

Such a boy..always digging in dirt!

LOVE tat mischievous grin! It's when he is about to do something or say something sassy!

Ahh…cuteness!

So, I am totally in love with this fella. He knows it. He is also loving my camera lately, not only being in front of it but taking photos and I have brought him to one session and it was adorable watching him try to get a kid older than him to smile Maybe one day he will be running this blog

I have some big big news coming up this week and I've been saving some blog posts for this slower time of year! A few weddings as well as some ridiculous cute kids coming up!

Also be sure to let me know welll in advance if you would like a birth documentary. I have to make sure not to plan much else around the anticipated due date, don't want to miss those irreplaceable first moments!

Cute Cousins! {Monroe Family Photographer}

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

I got to meet Aiden, Alli, and Avery's cousins! I really love when I get to meet more of a family. I feel like I get more of the picture of who people are when I get to see where they come from and how they interact with their family. Aiden and Alli have some very sweet cousins…I wanted to pinch them!!

One of the happiest family photos I may have ever taken. Even through the freezing drizzle the kids were so smiley and happy! PS check out Joseph
's tongue!

Pretty sure they are smitten with their girls!

monroe family child children photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

They really love each other. I have seen such growth with these two this last year. They are now helping each other and sharing and laughing together. They are really growing up! Just in time to help baby sister Avery.

Norah and Dane {Toledo Family Photographer}

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

I'm sure you all remember Norah and Dane. Dane has grown SO much! Norah has settled into her new role as big sister too. This is their first photo session as a family of four. Norah was her usual silly sweet self. Dane is always happy as long as he has his big sister near by, it's endearing. He just watches her and anything she does makes him smile. I don't think Norah has noticed too much yet but she will soon realize she has a really loyal sidekick to watch out for her in this life.

toledo children family photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I think I finally decided that Norah looks like her daddy and Dane looks like his momma!

toledo children family photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I just really love this one on the left. Norah is just so sweet. Plus I love how Dane looks concerned haha. Dane gives me that face a lot!

toledo children family photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Told ya he loves Norah!

toledo children family photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Emily and Tim I just love your kids. Thanks for always asking me to grab their photos every year. Your photos are uploading now so I'll be emailing you shortly!

Claire and Katie {Toledo Family Photography}

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

I really love the way Sarah and Craig approach their family photos. The girls get to pick their own clothes and we always go somewhere with a park so the girls can have breaks! Plus I get cute photos of them playing. They tell me they want to remember the girls just as they are….skinned knees and all

toledo family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Yeh….these girls are spunky and I think each of these photos just screams their personalities. I love it!

toledo family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

These two have such an interesting life story. Craig is Australian (and yes…has that incredible accent!) and after they married they actually lived in Australia for 8 years and then came back to the states and had two little girls! They are still gooey together which the best part.

toledo family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I can hardly believe my eyes with these fall colors this year. So so bright!

toledo family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Katie is super cuddly. Always hugging and kissing and holding somebody's hand:)

toledo family photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

This is my favorite one from the entire session. They are so cute together and who doesn't laugh on a slide when they go down together!

Sarah, I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. There are so many more for you to see so keep an eye out on your email!

Avery {Toledo Newborn Photographer}

Friday, September 21st, 2012

Avery is the tiniest little sister to Aiden and Alli. She is a true sleeper…she was sleeping when I showed up and didn't move through two poses. It was incredible. She is sooo tiny too! She has almost no hair and I LOVE her nose wrinkle!

Ummm yes…cuddly goodness right there.

toledo newborn photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Not that you can tell but she hated this tutu…wondering if she is following big sister's lead ?

toledo newborn photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Too sweet!

toledo newborn photographer photography http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Danielle, she is perfect! Can't wait to show you and Dean the rest! They are uploading now!! I am so glad I got to cuddle her just for a little while

More Blondies {Toledo Child Photographer}

Friday, September 14th, 2012

These cuties just keep growing on me…I can't believe it. They are always so sweet and have so many stories to tell me. They are now also coming up with their own wants for their photos….which is beyond adorable. With the way this summer has gone I am thinking in just a few years I might have my choice of assistants

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I'd say they look quite dapper in their outfits

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

It took a lot of this to get that first shot Nothing like raising the giggles to get a few au naturale smiles
.

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

She is really starting to look like a young lady. Ugh where does the time go.

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Yeh…that little tike on the right? Baby Michael….

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Sweet Ethan…..he has the most infectious smile.

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

After we did some indoor shots we headed outside. These sisters are just so sweet. They always want cute cuddle shots for their own girl's bathroom at home. I like that they hang one in there just for them

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Look at these precious boys! Josh either has a very sweet smile or he let's out his crazy smile! Ethan has those amazing curls and I have to say Michael is about as cute as a button (and apparently he loves keys!).

toledo child kid children kids photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I think this is my favorite one of the day.

Bean is 18 months!

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

So…I am not sure how we got here. A toddler…who runs, and climbs and jumps and tells jokes. It's incredible how much I love him. Even when he seems a tad…irrational . I can't believe how much he is learning right now, and I love that he tells me he loves me and he kisses me and hugs me and gives me these great morning snuggles! He is wild and crazy and BLONDE! Yes everyone…Bean has hair!

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Ahh….love that face.

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Yes I enjoy dressing my kid up like an old man

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

AHHHH so cute!

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I am a fan of the perfectly imperfect…scraped knees…crazy hair. Granted nice clothes yes…. but I love what makes kids kids. Kids are crazy and sweet all wrapped up into one. Predictably unpredictable….kind of like Kansas. You know there will be tornadoes you just don't know where. That's why for photos of my kid…I don't wait until the scrapes are gone (he would be 50) and I leave the band-aids on and let his hair swirl crazy…I enjoy it now and someday I will really cherish it.

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Yup…a white blonde hair swoop

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I looooooooove his cheeks!

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I also love all the crazy faces he makes….he has the craziest expressions. I want to remember all 5,000 of them

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I am totally biased but he has the most precious face I have ever seen!

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I am also a fan of simple backgrounds, and favorite outfits. (Those scrapes on the knee).

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

That face on the right is the face he makes when he sees my camera….and says cheese! He either does that or runs away crying yelling no cheese….I call it PKS….photographer's kid syndrome.

toledo baby photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Ok so it might look like we had this long incredible session of bonding time but truth be told he is 1.5 years old. For each outfit I had about five minutes of happy on five different days So! What I learned for parents coming to me with babes around this age….bring many of their favorite toys…..and be prepared to act like a buffoon for a smile

Oh Bean….I can't even describe in words how I feel about you….I keep meaning to invent one….I think I am going to have to. You have changed my life by far for the better. With you here I actually get to live my lifelong dream. I know I was created to be your Momma and some days I just look at you and can't believe God gave you to me to take care of. I am just blessed beyond measure. PS quit growing so fast…..I might have a coronary.

Olivia {Toledo Child Photographer}

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

Ok…So I can NOT believe how big this girl has gotten! She is gorgeous and just so funny and I kinda want to pinch her. (Ok not kind of…I just want to pinch her cuteness). I remember her first session as a little bean:) I think I got some great shots of little miss and I was just so thrilled to see her again. She really just made my day.

toledo kid child photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

She is such a ham. She laughs at everything which made me feel like a rockstar.

toledo kid child photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

Just had to recreate this one from when she was 6ish? months old Still cute!

toledo kid child photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

This one and the next one are my favorites of the whole fam

toledo kid child photography photographer http://www.wellspringphoto.com

I honestly think the one on the right is my favorite of Olivia that I've ever taken. She has the most infectious smile ever and I love her profile. Plus her eye smile too which is the best!

Joe and Kelley, it was great seeing you guys again! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek! The rest will be up some time tomorrow!

Two More of My Favorites! {Toledo Child Photographer}

Monday, August 20th, 2012

I am sure you all remember Ella and Deagan! More of the little ones that belong to my fam. Ella is [almost] an entire year older already! I can't believe my eyes sometimes. Deagan is growing right along with her…6 months ALREADY! Not gonna lie….looked at his newborn photos the other night and got a little teary. After you have little ones in your life time feels like an hour glass and the sand just keeps on moving. These two are super smiley and have such sweet dimples (they get them from my sister!) I think the best part about these two is their budding relationship. My sweet Boo prayed for a brother so badly with all of her heart and God granted her biggest wish! She just hugs and loves on that boy and it makes my heart melt.
