My Child is definitely a winter baby. She loves the white stuff. We have been waiting patiently for a warmer snow day to go out and play. Ohio has gotten a couple of snow day's but the temperature has been way to cold out to go outside and play. Natalie would be a good sport walking to and from our cars, tilting her head back, and catching snow flakes with her tongue. Occasionally, sneaking out of our grip and sticking her small foot into a snow pile. But today was the day, warmer temperatures, perfect snow packing white stuff and nothing to do. We made it outside to play. The girl loved it! I personally am not a snow lover. In fact, I rather despise the stuff. But seeing her smile, giggle and play in it for the first time made me a snow lover, if only for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be nice again and we can go out and play!

Emerson is one! It has been such a great year getting to watch this little one grow up. She has been so much fun to take pictures of every month. She has the greatest personality and the prettiest smile. Thanks Megan and Matt for letting me photograph Emme every month. I look forward to your family sessions this year.  We went to Lost and Found Vintage Rental for Emme's first birthday session. Jennifer was such a big help getting Emme to smile. These are a few of my favorites :) 

Christmas was so much fun this year. Natalie loved opening all her presents and seeing all of her family. She is still asking for presents. It's a good thing her birthday is in a month, so she can open more. She loves all her gifts and is very thankful for them.  Our tree before all the craziness Natalie and her new kitchen  Natalie's princess shoes and her cute new 'Sleepies and slippers'  Natalie loves her new Cozy Car from Great Grandma. She's been driving it all around the house. I can't wait till spring and she can use it outside.   Olaf is a new favorite from Natalie's Uncle Drew and Aunt Becky. She sleeps with it every night.   My beautiful niece, Riley  Natalie and Riley playing with her kitchen from Oma and Opa  Natalie playing with her doggie guitar from Uncle Keith and Aunt Elizabeth  The girls playing with Natalie's music play mat fr...

What a great family! I had so much fun taking the Griest family pictures a few weeks ago. Despite the cold weather, we got some amazing pictures. I think the kids had fun having their pictures taken. Aiden personality shined, he even began posing for me after we were done. I had to stop and take a few more of him. Caroline is so sweet, you can see the wonder in her bright eyes. Wartingher Park  in Beavercreek is great for families. It's so pretty even in late fall. Thanks Patty and Mike for bringing the kids out for their very first portrait session. They did great and so did the dogs!
