Photography: Sarah + Mike | Family | Dayton, OH

Sarah and Mike have been dating long distance for over two years. Just recently they packed up their belongings and moved to Ohio to start a new life together. The week of their photo session was the first time the kids met. To help bring everyone together Sarah set up this family session with me.

Enjoy!

Their kids were a blast and Aiden's got some serious break dancing moves.

This past July I meet Sweet little Haleigh. She was only 6 days old and just as precious as could be. Her little cheeks were begging to be pinched and her little smile melted my heart. 

Design: Branding for Rae by Day

I've been busy working on all sorts of fun new things for Rae by Day! An updated blog design as well as a brand spanking new website are both in the works!

Today I'd like to share the latest and greatest, a pretty logo for Rae by Day! After months of throwing around ideas and contemplating hiring someone else to design it (it's hard designing for yourself!) I finally landed on a logo I love. It's clean, feminine, and fun and I couldn't be happier with it.

Incase you missed it at the top of the blog today, here it is!

I also have a lovely new facebook icon. Yay!

To stay up to date on the launch of my new website please follow my facebook page.

Photography: Fletcher | Newborn | Dayton, OH

I had the opportunity to photography my very first newborn recently. It was an amazing experience and I instantly fell in love with the whole process. As you can see, Fletcher was just as sweet as pie.

Great news, I am adding newborn sessions to my list of offerings! If you are expecting and would like to set up a session please contact me. Keep in mind that newborn sessions need to happen within the first 10 days after birth.

Last week my friend and I went out to get some head-shots. We had a great time checking out new locations and found several really nicely textured walls just around the neighborhood.

Photography: The Gander's | Family Session | Dayton, Ohio

I met Rachael through social media about a year ago when I tested an embroidery pattern for her. When she contacted me to book a session I was so excited to finally meet her and her wonderful family in person. 

Rachael is a wonderful crafter and runs the blog/shop imagine gnats. She made the super cute tunics you see in the pictures above. Aren't they awesome?! She also made the shirt she has on in her headshot. Such a talented lady!

One of my dear friends gave birth to her beautiful little girl this past February. Two months later I made a special visit to her home to photograph this little cutie.

This was my first time professionally photographing a baby and all I can say is you never know what you are going to get. I loved every minute of it. Enjoy.
