Patton Family : Wartinger Park

 A few weeks before Christmas I got to meet this fun and energetic family! I had so much fun photographing them and especially chasing Benji around Wartinger Park in Beavercreek. Aiden is a fantastic big brother and a huge help to me. I think we got some perfect pictures of the four of them. It may have taken a little longer than expected but was totally worth it. 

 Just a few action pictures of Benji

 Benji fell in love with the blue picnic table and only wanted to be photographed on the table. We even tried having Aiden lay on the ground, I thought Benji would have loved to crawl all over him. But no, the picnic table was more entertaining.

I love this shot of Aiden in the tree, he wanted to climb the tree but we kept chasing Benji around. He was so patient in waiting his turn. I love that Benji had to do it to after watching his big brother. Thank you so much Niki and Chris for allowing me to spend time photographing you beautiful family! I can't wait for our next photo shoot :)

Christmas Day : 2015

 Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a fantastic and safe Christmas. We had a wonderful day spent opening presents, visiting with family and playing games. Natalie loved all of her wonderful gifts. This was the year of Frozen. Santa brought her Elsa and Anna barbie dolls, then Oma and Opa got her Elsa and Anna baby dolls. She also got an Elsa dress from mommy and daddy and Coronation Day outfit from mamaw and papaw.

 Santa's presents!

 Santa also visit Oma and Opa's house and brought Natalie and Riley a new doll house with some Frozen figurines :)

 How cute is this face, love him!

We are so thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful family. Natalie loves spending time with her cousin (sometimes bestie) Riley. We are really lucky everyone is so close. Thank you to everyone who spoiled us rotten this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Kristen + Aaron Baby Bump Pics

Playing a little catch up this weekend from one of my oldest friends Kristen. Kristen and Aaron now have a beautiful 9 month old daughter Jordyn Ashleigh. These are a few of my favorites from our photo session back in February when Jordyn was still a little peanut in her mommy's tummy. It was such a cold and very windy day we had to move our session in-doors but we were still able to capture the love and excitement between these soon to be parents. 

Gray Family : North Park, Springboro

How cute is this family! I love taking their pictures every year. It's always fun, crazy and eventful. Little Emme is getting so big, I just love her smile and curiosity. Let me tell you trying to get an almost 2 year old, two dogs and parents to all look decent for photos is a challenge but I love it. They are one of my favorites and I look forward to it every year. I love that Megan brought her mom along for some great mamaw pics with Emme. Emme sure does love her mamaw. Here are a few of my favorites for that evening. The lighting was just perfect at North Park in Springboro, I couldn't ask for a better evening.
