Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! | Family Photography Cincinnati

At 11:00 pm, the weather forecast for the following day was calling for some snow, gradually accumulating throughout the day. When we woke up, there were 5 inches of snow on the ground and school had been cancelled!  Needless to say, the kids were very excited!

He called this move "The Penguin" :)

Winter Wonderland | Cincinnati Maternity Photography

As I type this, the temperature in Cincinnati is -8, with a wind chill of -22 degrees!  (not the norm for us) When I shot these photos two days earlier, before the "Polar Vortex" hit the area, it was a balmy 33 degrees:)  This mom-to-be was such a good sport…I gave her the option of going inside to shoot, or at least sitting in the car in between shots, but she was a trooper, and it paid off.  The images turned out beautiful, and Ault Park looks like a winter wonderland!

Family | Cincinnati Family Photographer

My husband's side of the family is pretty big.  He is one of 6, and there are 19 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.  These are 7 of my wonderful nieces and nephews, and they are great kids.  For Christmas they wanted to surprise their parents with photos of themselves.  Apparently I get bonus points for these because they made their mom cry :)

And on a side note, anyone that knows this family knows that they are slightly "punctually-challenged"  :)  For the record, they all arrived ON TIME!!

A few years ago, we did a photos of my husband and his siblings for his parents.  Everyone's favorite shot was a pic of them pretending to fight.  The kids wanted to reenact this one for their parents :)

An Early Christmas Gift | Newborn Photos | Cincinnati Baby Photographer

There's no better Christmas gift than a brand new baby!  I had so much fun photographing this little angel and his family.  Their house had so much character to it, and it had the most wonderful light! Little S slept through most of his photographs, and when he woke up and needed a little lunch break, his big brothers showed me ALL of their super cool toys :)

Big brother played a little guitar for me while we waited for Baby S to finish his lunch :)

Pretty much the coolest three-headed dog…EVER!

The car playing was very intense also
