Lilly was a dream to photograph. She was so photogenic. She really wanted different poses and so I was able to really step outside my box and try some new things and we got some FABULOUS shots!!!

It is clients like this who inspire me and keep pushing me. I dearly love the opportunities being a photographer has given me!

Need to book your senior portraits, slide into my inbox at jdawnphotography@yahoo.com!

Kaylee Woods {Maternity Session} Newark, Ohio Photographer

  Happy Monday, Friends! It was a sunny, spring day with a cool breeze. I wanted to get my Monday blog post in and decided to blog Kaylee's Maternity session out at the Bryn Du Mansion. She bought this beautiful burgundy dress and I loved getting to work with her. I particularly love when my clients put thought in to their attire for their shoot. That makes me a happy photographer!

Until next time,

Mary Salon - Fashion Shoot {Bryn Du Mansion} Granville, OH

I am so happy that Mary has asked me to shoot the pictures for her fashion Instagram page. We always have fun chatting about different clothing pieces we see, among many other topics. When I shoot a client at an outdoors location they usually have to change in their car. Mary usually brings many different outfits so she ends up changing in a hot car without hardly a complaint. I mean who sticks a Louis Vuitton bag in a tree? I will say that shot turned out pretty cute though. :) I love this shoot with her because we got some ridiculously adorable shots and working with just one subject allowed me to step outside my box and try some new poses and locations around Bryn Du Mansion. Trust me, there have been shoots with other clients where I haven't felt quite up to my A-game. Sometimes I need to take a step back, readjust my focus, and plunge ahead. 

Stay Fabulous,

2016 Fall High School Senior Session {Newark, Ohio-Granville., Ohio

Blacent Family{Dawes Arboretum, Newark, Ohio}

   I enjoyed shooting this cute family out at Dawes Arboretum. They rocked it in front of the lens! I like to make my customers feel comfortable because sometimes it can start off awkward. I want my customers to be satisfied with their portraits. 

Stay Fabulous, friends!

Sully- Mommy & Me Session {Granville, Ohio-Bryn Du Mansion}

    Hey friends! Here is a cute Mommy & Me session that I shot at Bryn Du Mansion in Granville, Ohio back in the spring. Mommy and Me sessions are a great way to capture the love and bond between Mom and her children. Enjoy :)

   Hey friends! I know I am not keeping up with blogging like I wanted too. Life is crazy and I find myself getting the necessities done and letting tasks like blogging fall by the wayside. I usually always post sneak peeks of each of my sessions unless my client specifically asks me not to. Blogging is a way for me to post more pictures then just a couple from each session. 

    I can't believe it is September! Summer has come and gone and fall is right around the corner. Fall is my favorite time of the year and it invigorates me. I love fall colors, pumpkins, the smell of cinnamon and spice, fall decorations, pumpkin spice coffee, boots and scarves, etc. I also love to shoot in the fall. I am planning (if everything goes as planned) to hold Fall sessions in an apple orchard like I did last year on a weekend in October so be looking out for that special here on the blog and also on my Facebook page. 

     Now, here is some favorites from this adorable family's session during the summer. The Japanese Garden at Dawes Arboretum had just opened I think so it was my first time shooting there. Tosha, thank you for letting me capture your family. 

Stay fabulous!

Fleming Family Portrait Session {Dawes Arboretum-Newark, Ohio}

Here is a peek into this cute family's session at Dawes Arboretum. Jerod and Mary-Ellen were married in Bertie's Garden so we started there and worked our way to The Japanese Garden. Thanks, Jerod and Mary-Ellen, for letting me shoot your family!

Hey all! It's Friday!! Just wanted to write a quick post and share these pictures from another Mommy & Me session! I think these sessions are a special time that provides Mom with memories to remember her little one's by.

   I met this adorable family in March for spring pictures at Dawes Arboretum. I think they are ridiculously adorable! Ashley wanted family pictures before the baby arrives this summer! Cute families make my job so much more easier!
