Sky Photography

Being a family’s photographer is one of my greatest blessings. I say this because I literally get to grow with the family. As years go on my goal is to always get better as a photographer and as years go by families get bigger and have more life changes that need to be photographed.

My all time favorite part of it is seeing the family grow, especially the little ones. One year I will be photographing them as tiny little babies that we are trying to calm down from crying, to the next year photographing their sassy little personality. Not only am I getting to know them better, but the kids are getting to know ME better. They see me as the lady with the camera so we better say “CHEESE” and show our teeth!

Let me introduce you to the Bacon Family- I have been photographing their family since April 2017 when they were pregnant with their first baby. Now I have photographed 2 maternity sessions, 2 newborn sessions, one 1 year old session, one 2 year old session, 2 Christmas sessions and have many more milestone sessions to photograph.

Let me introduce you to the Arcaro Family- I had the pleasure to not only going to school with Ally and Michael, but now I get to photograph their beautiful family. It all started when I photographed Mya’s first birthday session and  from then on I did two Christmas sessions, Mya’s 2nd birthday session, Ally’s maternity photo shoot with their second child and then baby number 2, Skye Joy’s newborn session. I’m really looking forward to continually photograph this family as they grow up!

Seeing how much these two families have grown is CRAZY! Capturing these special lifetime moments are so important and it all starts by getting yourself a family photographer. You aren’t just another client, you are like a family to me. I want to hang out and chit chat with you and know what you have been up too. I want to run around and play with the kiddos because well, I freakin love kids and can’t wait to one day have some of my own. We will gain this special bond and when it comes time for some family photos it will be a fun relaxing time:)

Being a photographer who lives in Northeast Ohio you never know what type of weather you may have. One day it could be sunny and 60 and the next day it could be 20 with 6inches of snow. So for my families and couples that want their photos done in the winter and even spring and fall months, it can be tricky. I don’t have a studio and indoor locations where I am located are hard to come by. This is where lifestyle photography becomes the move.

Just a few years ago this wasn’t a thing and still sometimes people think I’m crazy when I say we could do the photo shoot at your home or my home. Common concerns and questions are, “I don’t have any space in my home.” “What type of lighting can you use?” or “I have no idea where we could take the photos.” Well that’s where I come in! At home photo sessions are so easy and to be quite honest it keeps things relaxed especially when you want to add babies/toddlers/dogs to the pictures.

Places in the home that are perfect for these family photo sessions are the family room, kitchen and bedroom. All three of these spaces are the heart of the home where you all gather as a family and ideally has the best natural lighting. But these at home sessions don’t only have to be inside the home. If you and your sons have your own garage where you work on cars or build things thats another great location. Or if you and your family spend a lot of time in the garden, thats another location. Anywhere around the home that has some type of meaning or memory is a perfect location for a photo. If you are an expecting mother, the nursery is such a beautiful spot for photos because that will be the new home for the little human who is inside you. These photos become special to you because they are within your home. They have a meaning behind it and you don’t even have to travel anywhere.

These at home photo shoots can be so fun too. We can play games, bake cookies and even snuggle up and read a book with your loved ones. These are the special moments in life that never get captured, the small moments. No one is in their natural habitat when you stand in front of a staged background and smile. You smile when you have fun and are comfortable. Your true joy comes out when you laugh and giggle about funny memories with your family or have a tickle a fit. These lifestyle photo sessions are meant to capture true lifestyle moments.

All your Pinterest dreams can come true if you allow a lifestyle photography session for your family photos, newborn photos or any type of photo session. All you need to do is book a session with me and let me join your family for an hour. After I’m done photographing your beautiful family, you will feel nothing, but joy after seeing the finish product. The photos will be real and show off the love and laughter within your family.

As a photographer without a studio I’ve learned how to improvise by making my own at home studio, with at home products. This Valentines Day setup is super easy and you might only have to buy a couple things. And trust me, these couple things won’t cost you the amount you wold pay for your own studio.

P.S This setup shown was at client’s house so it’s even easy to travel with!

Products for setup:

• 3 kitchen chairs
• Red throw blanket or red sheets
• Shiplap wall decor
• White fluffy pillows (If you have them)- not a must
• White fluffy rug (If you have it)- not a must

Step 1:

Find an area in your home that has plenty of space with a window facing your setup.

Step 2:

Line up the chairs in the center of the light/window so you get even amount of lighting on your subject.
