Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!



Thank you for such a wonderful fall season. I truly enjoy working with each family that I photograph. Happy Holidays to you all!

As I do most of my sessions outside, I will resume shooting families in the spring (the exception to this is newborns and individual children). There are very few indoor photography locations in Cleveland, and I prefer to use them as a backup location rather than a standard location. I feel like clients receive a greater variety of pictures have a more enjoyable shoot when we are outside. Please email me with any questions!

Best Wishes,

Sarah

Brimhall Family

Remember that sweet baby from the last post? Well, this is his family! I thought they did a really nice job with their clothes...I love the yellow + gray color combination.

A very proud big sister and big brother...

You parents had better watch out as this girl gets older! :)

Isn't she adorable? I love her cute scarf and cardigan.

Seriously? Can you believe she had a baby one week ago? I would still be in my pajamas!

You guys were a great way to end my photo shoots for the year. Happy Holidays!

Heber

I am so excited to show you this newborn shoot. I was really wanting to add some new color and texture to my newborn shoots, and this little boy proved to be the perfect model. He slept like an angel almost the entire time. His mom looked beautiful and put-together as well, despite the fact that Heber was less than a week old.

I brought along this yellow + white vintage wallpaper, and wouldn't you know that Heber's mom had the perfect golden scarf to compliment it! It was meant to be...

We used this green scarf at their family shoot last year (you can see it on the website), and I thought it might be just the right pop of color and texture.

This is one of my favorites from the shoot. I love that newborn look of being in a deep and comfy sleep.

See? I told you she looked beautiful! Thanks to Heber and his mom for giving me some creative reign; I really enjoyed doing this shoot.

Silvers Family

More twins! At this point, I really believe that the people who have twins born into their families are those that can handle it. I kept expecting these parents to be cranky and overwhelmed, but they were totally pleasant and kind and put- together. Clearly, they are the kind of people that can handle two babies at once!

And their shoot was scheduled in early November, when we had a massive snowstorm. But they still calmly went forward with the shoot.

This little boy's mother told me a little bit about his birth, and it sounds like its a miracle that he is even here. That smile on his face suggests that he is happy to be here.

It took this big brother quite a while to warm up to the camera, but I like this candid shot...

Because an indoor shoot doesn't provide quite the variety an outdoor shoot does, we took these pictures on a warm, sunny Saturday.

These parents were so good at holding two babies at once.

And he clearly loves his dad!

Thanks for the photo shoot, Silvers Family. Good luck in your babies' first year!

Costanzo Family

Once upon a time, my husband asked me what it was like to take photos of people I had never met before. I told him that you can get a real sense of what the shoot is going to be like within the first five minutes. Within the first five minutes of meeting this family, I could tell they were really nice. And I really like taking pictures of nice people!

I think the hat and vest turned out so cute! Thank you Costanzo Family, for being laid back and flexible. I really enjoyed working with you!

Namrow Family

Doesn't this family look awesome? I think they can officially be my poster family for "What To Wear To Your Photoshoot." They chose a color scheme and everyone had their own individual outfit within that scheme. I love all the fall accessories!

Namrow_051

And not only did their clothes look good, but they looked good doing whatever I asked. They made my job really easy!

We let the girls do whatever they wanted for a silly picture. This is one of their dancing pictures. I smile every time I look at it. There is something very Spanish bullfight about it with the red cape and the expression on her face.

It was very clear that these girls had lots of fun with their dad...

I can't remember what silly thing I asked them to do, but I think this picture is worth it!

And what's a photo shoot without a little sun in the picture?

Thank you, Namrow family! It was my pleasure to photograph your family.
