Our Partner in crime... Kim Stine.

It's always nice to have other photog friends. Especially other photographer friends who are willing to share information with you and learn with you. After all, it never hurts to venture outside of the box and help others in any way you can. Right? Although not all others think this way, we've come to realize its better to learn from eachother and become friends than it is to keep to yourself.

Kim has recently started her own photography business too... and although she has done this for years, she's finally took the plunge. (So excited for you Kimmy! haha). As soon as her website is up and running we will be sure to share it all of you, but for now, here is her FB page. Be sure to check her out!

Kimberly Beth Photography

Last weekend we decided to give ourselves a day for once. A day where WE get behind the camera. It seems that lately, we are always the ones behind the lens, which is absolutley OKAY with us! We made it a day, went on a search for fields, barns and railround tracks... you know, did a little trespassing. No biggie right?! Ooops. :) Then we headed to the Short North, had a little lunch at a local resturant and wrapped up our photo shoot with a little urban feel.

SOON we will share OUR photos, (we will be updating our website, etc... with these photos, Yes! Get excited!) but for now... here are a few of Kim's... She's so cute!

And... the cheerleading moves are all coming back ;)

Best Friends!

A few weeks ago, Brooke (a regular on the blog :) ) contacted me for a mini session of her a her best friends babies. One of her best friends, Cory, lives in Florida and had a baby girl only 20 days before her little man Mason. This was one of the few times they all get to be together. How awesome! Thanks to all of my crazy helpers (who danced and acted beyond crazy behind me to help get each kiddo to look my way). I couldn't have done it without you! ;) I'm so glad you guys finally were able to get together, and I'm SO flattered you asked me to capture it!

Here are just two of my favorites... more to come later!

..This HAS to be my favorite of the night so I had to share!

Who doesn't love little baby butts?!

Belly Laughs!

Last Wednesday evening we met up with Kim and her husband Joel at Franklin Park for their maternity photos. Miss Alaina will be here before you know it, and what better way to document your pregnancy than belly photos?!

We LOVED shooting this couple. Fun, free, and so in love. You can totally tell with every glance at each other. It's something you can just see, especially when they look at one another. It comes so natural to them. They were one of THE best couples to photograph. They posed on their own, kissed on their own, and were up for anything and everything. Balloons, umbrella (funny story behind that one ;) and all! Thanks Kim, for sharing your man panties story with us! Definitely something we will NEVER forget! ;)

Thank you Kim and Joel (and Baby Alaina too) for making our job SO easy! We cannot wait to meet your beautiful baby girl... the countdown is on!

The {Almost} McGinnis Family!

Congrats to Megan! She and her family were the winners of our facebook referral contest! They received their complimentary portrait session this past weekend in Hilliard at the Old Historical Villiage. The last time we photographed Miss Alyvia, she was only a year... she has grown so much in just a few months, and well on her way to walking! Thank you McGinnis Family, for such an awesome session, as always. AND every single one of your referrals! You guys rock!

(I absolutley love how Devon is looking at Megan and Lyvi in this picture. You can truely see how much he adores them both.)

We are family!

Meet: The McGraths. Meet: Sweetness. Meet: Miss TOTALLY cute Rae.

We had a windy and chilly day for Miss Raelynn's first birthday pictures... a little unsure of the weather, we took the plunge and decided to hope and pray, and keep our fingers (and toes)crossed that rae would not be absolutely FREEZING the entire time. Turns out she was the BEST mood ever... an hour later and a few AWESOME family shots, we had pushed rae a little too far with the tu-tu and a bow the size of her head, and she decided to call it quits. :) So we decided to squeeze in JUST a few more the very next morning... Sorry Momma Melissa... We're thinkin' the tu-tu is NOT rae's favorite piece of clothing ;) needless to say, I think we got some PERFECT shots! Doesn't hurt when you have such a cute little family :)

C'mon... you cannot have a first birthday photo without the "pouty" look can you? Nah! It's her birthday, and she'll cry if she wants too!

Meet: Baby Cam

If you thought your day couldnt get any better... hold on because this little one is bound to make you smile! Brace yourself for a fresh little face, sweet little toes, and little innocent eyes... such a sweetie.
