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!

Whitesides Mommy & Me Session { Newark, Ohio}


Hey Friends! 
   Here is a session from Mommy and Me sessions in May. This was my first time to shoot twins and it was such a fun experience. Yes, one of the babies was sick that day because he was teething but I think these pictures turned out great. Mom and her boys look fabulous!
   One thing I love is to see my customers happy when they come and view their pictures. I usually schedule each customer's view and order session, a session where they can see their pictures for the first time, the very next week after their photo session. My best experience so far is having a Grandma cry while looking over her final images. It was a good feeling knowing that I gave her memories to last a lifetime.

Stay fabulous, friends.

Hey friends!
    I am so behind on blogging but I want to catch up! So over the next few weeks, be on the look out for lots of posts on sessions from this year that I haven't blogged! Life is crazy!
    This cute mom and daughter came to me this spring for some adorable Mommy & Me pictures. I know it's way past Mother's Day but I still wanted to share!

Stay fabulous!

Reed Family {Newark Ohio Family Photographer}

This adorable family came to me during the winter and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting their adorable little guy's newborn pictures. Newborns can be difficult but Mom and Dad were so patient while we attempted to calm him. I have picked some of the favorites from their session. Aren't they adorable?

Stay fabulous, Reed Family!

Adams Family {Spring Session} Bryn Du Mansion Granville, Ohio

  It's been a long time since I have sat down and wrote a blog post. Life is crazy busy and each day I am amazed at how much my business has gown. I will be updating this blog to catch up on all of my recent sessions so stay tuned for more pictures. For about seven months I worked a part time job, ran my business, and went to school online for a degree in business management. I also recently graduated from the New York Institute of Photography. 
  The biggest, most exciting news I have to share with everyone is that I am officially building a studio in my basement and it is almost completed! I still have some furniture items to pick up but it is coming together quite well! I so enjoy working out of my home and I will enjoy having my office here as well. 
  I love photography. I love to get behind my camera and snap away at adorable, little families. I wanted to FINALLY share this family from a recent spring session. Spring has sprung and winter has vanished, thank goodness. Check out their pictures below! 

Stay Fabulous,
Janessa
