Jordyn- Columbus Newborn Photography

Jordyn was 9 days old when i photographed her, and I still can’t believe how animated and awake she was! She was awake for almost the entire session, would grab on to my hand and would coo when you’d tallk to her just right. You could completely see her little personality come out already! So fragile, innocent, and new….it was quite the experience to look into her little eyes and think about all of the years of life that will pass over her. I know she’s in good hands, though, as she has two brothers and two sisters- all of whome love her very much. As the youngest child myself, I also know she might get away with a lot when she grows up!  I know that she will grow up and the next time I see her she will be so much bigger. I’m so thankful, though, that there will always be this piece of Jordyn at only 9 days old. XO Jess

Julia is 3!- Columbus Family Portraits

One of the best things about being a photographer is watching my clients’ children grow up. I remember holding Julia three years ago- so sweet and small- and here she is a three year old with a smile that goes on for miles! I feel like this is one of the most precious things about professional photographs- capturing the sweet characteristics of every age. The whispy hair, the sweet giggles, the fantastic children’s clothes. We did a family session on a picture perfect day earlier this summer at Inniswood Metro Gardens in Columbus, OH. This happens to be the same location we did her one year old shoot. My, how time flies! The flowers were blooming like crazy and the sun was out in full force which made the perfect backdrop for all of our fun photos. We ran and jumped and she showed me a lot about being fearless. I love the boundless energy, wonderful optimism and only genuine smiles of this age. Her favorite game was when her parents swung her back and forth. Julias’ dress was super cute and floated and swayed as she danced. She recieved a couple M&Ms from her parents each time she had a really great portait- and I so wish that were the way my life worked, too. Enjoy these photos and don’t forget to get out and enjoy this great weather! XO Jess

Audrey- Columbus Childrens Photography

Audrey was only 1 month old when her parents had me come over and capture her amazing little face! I can’t wait to see how she grows up and develops a littler personality of her own. After her guard dog got used to me, he let me shoot some beautiful photos of her! I hope you enjoy! XO Jess

 

Ronald McDonald House – A Toast to Tinseltown

I had such a great time at this amazing event last month. This event had an outdoor red carpet that each attendee walked down and they got the proper paparazzi treatment complete with escort Brutus Buckeye! Inside, the live red carpet footage was projected from a scrim hanging from the balcony of the Ohio Theater. Guests walked through this projection surface and made their way to the main stage where they were greeted with fantastic food, drinks and a massive silent auction- all to benefit the Columbus Ohio Ronald McDonald House Charity. Enjoy! XO Jess

JMP Flashback- Ohio Indian Wedding Photography

This past weekend I was second shot in Cleveland for the most beautiful Indian Wedding! It inspired me to look through some photos of an Indian ceremony I took a couple years ago. Since the launch of my new blog, I feel like a lot of the archives of my old blogs have been lost. Every now and then I’ll give a shout out to an older project XO Jess

Estella- Columbus Children’s Photography

One of my favorite shoots every year is when I get to photograph Estella. Not only is she the coolest, but her family is freakishly talented at throwing parties…as you will see below. Their attention to detail is awe-inspiring. This party had a Rock Star theme, and each person came up with their own “rock-star name”. Really cute names like “Lady Na-Na” and “Estella’s Bad Mama Jama” were in the house (mine was Jessie J) Estella turned two and she spent the day showing me her dance moves, how to wear heels properly, how to throw a football, reading me stories, and how to properly bounce until you fall down from exhaustion! All that and she was sick with a fever! She’ll never let that stop her from having a good time:) Enjoy! XO Jess

Lyla- Columbus Family Photography

Look at those cheeks! Aren’t they to die for?! I was so lucky to photograph this little love a couple weeks ago in Columbus. I also snapped a few of the fantastic pets they have…who were such posers! Enjoy! XO Jess
