Heart Crayons | Cincinnati OH photographer

We decided to make some heart shaped crayons for Valentine's day. The boys had fun and it was super easy. It's a great way to use all the broken crayons in your house too. If your anything like us you have a TON! I pry could have made a few dozen and still had more. They turned out really cute too!


This is Nevins:


He was taking pictures of his too! :)


We used something like these: Wilton Silicone Heart Pan
except it was the large hearts not the mini's and has 6 cavities instead of 12, but you get the idea if you want to try. :)

Pat-A-Cake | Cincinnati OH Family Photographer

This morning Chuck was playing Pat-A-Cake with Nolan and I was watching their shadows on the wall it looked so cute, I thought it would look neat in a picture so I snapped a couple. Here they are:




I love watching them play, they are so sweet with each other. It makes my heart happy! :)

Just one of Nevin:

He is my little sweetheart!

Testing 1 2 3 | Cincinnati OH baby photographer

Nolan is always so great at helping me test out the things I make. I made a fringe blanket for some upcoming newborn shoots. (Can't wait for all the little ones to be born) and I wanted to test it out. Excuse the horrible crops remember these are just quick test shots but Nolan and the blanket are still adorable if I do say so myself. :)

Bear hunt | Cincinnati OH baby photographer

I made a bear hat for upcoming new born sessions, it can be worn with the bow for a baby girl and without for a boy. I think I will get some pink ribbon for the bows also.

Of course I had to make a special one for my Noley bear too:






He was super sleepy, you can see it in his eyes. Nice full belly. Ready for a nap, But I couldn't resist taking a few pics of him in his new hat! :)

My Chub monster | Cincinnati OH Baby photographer

Just a couple of Nolan, My little Chub monster.



He is so happy all the time! He has been laughing at the boys so much lately. He thinks that they are here for his entertainment.

Crosley Sneak Peek | Cincinnati OH Childrens Photographer

Today despite the bad weather Crosley (don't you love that name?!) made it for his 1 year pictures. We had to reschedule a couple times because of weather already but luckily when they came today it wasn't to bad yet. Here's the adorable little guy:

So excited

Well, sense Nolan was born I have been trying to get even just a snap shot of all 4 of my boys together and it just doesn't work out. Christmas time we tried numerous times to get all 4 boys together for our Christmas card but again failed and had to be in the photo with them. Today I decided to set out once again to complete my mission once thought impossible. I GOT IT! All 4 of my boys together and all 4 LOOKING! Here they are, my gorgeous boys:

I am ordering this extra big! Can't wait to hang it in my house! :)

Beautiful bumps | Cincinnati Oh Maternity Photographer

Just sharing a few more from my Maternity shoots last weekend:












How beautiful are all those bumps? I had lots of fun, can't wait to meet the little blessings!

Snow Galore

Being from California and not seeing a whole lot of snow in my lifetime, this is just amazing to me. There is SOOO much snow, more than I have ever seen anyway.
It went from this:

To this:

It's still coming down too! Notice in the second shot the tops of the rail on the deck are covered. It's really gorgeous, but I don't have to go any where. I am sure I wouldn't be thinking about it's beauty if I had places to go. The boys love it and Nicholas of course is digging the fact that he has had 2 snow days in a row and will pry get another. We played out in it yesterday and hope we will get to play in it again today.

Nicholas even did a little news cast for us yesterday:

Tricia's Sneak Peek | Cincinnati Oh Maternity Photographer

Tricia came today for her maternity shoot as well, I couldn't have gotten luckier with all these beautiful moms to be. She was up for anything and so much fun. We had a little backdrop mishap, laughed it off and kept shooting. Here's your sneak peek Tricia:

Loving my baby boy

Just wanted to share because I love this picture chuck snapped of me and Nolan after I took the pics of him on our bed.

I love my baby boy.

Mommy and Daddy's bed

Nolan was having fun on our bed after spitting up on his outfit I had JUST put on him. I had been wanting to take some pictures of him on our bed so I decided it was a perfect time sense he was down to the diaper already. :)



I decided to do away with the diaper too, He was cracking up at daddy telling him not to pee on the bed. I was surprised he didn't.




Gotta love a little drool!

My little chunky monkey

I made Nolan a diaper cover to match his hat, I love it on him.

His thighs are deliciously chunky, I just want to eat 'em up!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Spongebob Squarepants!!! Nathaniel's party was on Saturday, He had a wonderful day. He decided on Spongebob for a theme.

The decorations:






The adorable cake, Thanks Nana!


He loved it!


Daddy lighting the candles:


Getting sung to:




Time to make a wish!


Aunt Mandi told him to blow harder!


Time for gifts!


We loved this bag Mayline brought:






I realize now I didn't take pictures of the actual gifts....ooops I had Nolan on my lap ready to nurse so I snapped as much as I could. He made out though, Nana even picked him up in the morning and took him to breakfast and let him pick out some gifts for himself. He got some cool nerf sets, transformers, buzz lightyear race track, Games for his DS, Flash lights (he loves flash lights and makes Chuck buy him one each time they go to the hardware store...quite the collection!) He even got a firefighter dress up set. Lots of neat stuff!
