Meet Olivia.  She is the daughter of my roommate from college and longtime friend.  They came to JEM yesterday for Olivia’s 3 year portraits.  We rolled around on the floor in the studio for a while and then walked around the surroundings of JEM Photography’s new building.  What fun to see my old roomie with her own little roomie! 

Holly – I love when I get to see  you guys again and it’s so amazing to see your little one run around.  She is sooooo beautiful.  What a great mixture of you both. 

Nick – Thanks for tickle monster!  Hey, guess what song came over my ipod the other day?  Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins!  Remember that being played on repeat over and over and over all weekend long!  Those were the days, right? 

Olivia was playing hide-and-seek outside of our studio.  She really thought she was hidden behind those few blades of grass :o So cute!

As this world spins madly on, I have come to learn that the only thing that really matters in life is love.  Love for your family, friends and those so special and close to you.  As I stand behind my camera at these family shoots and observe this one important thing, I appreciate what I do more and more.  Although I have never met anyone in this family, the smiles, warmth and joy of being together was so apparent on their faces.  I just love documenting the togetherness that doesn’t happen very often for great families like this one. 

Thanks family for a great early morning shoot!  It was so nice to meet all of you.

Nolan is 9 months and a cutie. He is also teething.  In fact, this photo session was for, Teething Bling ( www.smartmomjewelry.com)  where Nolan was so stinking adorable that he was awarded for his cuteness by this company!  So the jewelry you see around mom’s neck  works two ways, and little Nolan started to get [...]

We still were able to get some smiles out of him though with the help of playing in the dirt.   Awwww Nolan, you are such a little man in your blue jeans! I love it!

I have known Tiffany since high school and it is so cool to be able to photograph her two children.  And, I get to see you at Jodi’s wedding this weekend!  This was Audrey’s first year pictures, but Jackson helped out quite a bit as being big brother.   Actually, Jackson ‘helped’ me out by sweeping the floor before cake pics ( I hope this doesn’t concern anyone that I use these little people to help me clean,  carry things, and hold professional gear).  Anyways, Audrey’s BIG green eyes are a photographers delight and I loved capturing her running around, climbing and being very dainty with her cake…

My helper: Jackson

Michelle called me up and said that Owen was practicing his smile for me during dinner. Should I shmile for Emery like dis? Or like dis? I just wanted to hug him through the phone.  So when we had our photo-shoot at Maumee Bay last week it was no surprise how well these boys did.  All three of them make me laugh and I can hear Isaiah nearly cackling in these pictures.  When we took  ’2′ and whipped out the wagon and my reflector Owen and Isaiah were so excited to help me out with the professional gear.  Then again when we took ’3′ , they were so excited to help carry all the props to the path for birthday cake shots.  It was really nice to have little hands helping me out and for this: Michelle and Brad you must be great parents…thanks for the ice cream treat afterward. It was thoroughly enjoyed.
