Jamy turns SIX | Paulding, OH Children Photography

I'm not going to lie, I was a tad bit emotional when I was editing these images of Jamy. I started photographing this family when Jamy was 2-1/2 years old and her baby sister was only five days old. It's been such an honor to watch these girls grow and capture their little lives through my lens.
I'll never forget the second session, Jamy told me to leave...hahaha!!! I think her mom wanted to crawl in a hole b/c she was embarrassed but kids are kids and they tell you what's exactly on their mind. After that session Jamy and I became friends. She always gives me the details of her birthday party and is such a story teller.
I can't believe she's going to be six. Where did the time go?
Thank you so much Miss Jamy! It truly has been an honor to watch you grow. I hope your birthday is the best and you get everything you want!!!! XOXO

Ashlyn | Cincinnati, OH Newborn Photography

Last month I traveled to Cincinnati, OH to photograph this sweet baby girl. She definitely could sense me and did not want to give me any sleepy pictures...well that was till the end, she finally gave up. She was such a joy to photograph!
Thank you mom and dad for letting me meet your beautiful daughter and capture some precious images.

a childhood memory...

While in St. Louis visiting my Aunt Cat and making tamales for our Relay for Life team fundraiser, we took a break and went downtown to a Mexican bakery. As I walked into the doors of Diana's Bakery, it brought back memories of when I was a little girl.
I had a Great Uncle Cruz who lived in Detroit, a part they called "Little Mexico". When we would go visit, my parents always made it a point to stop by the local Mexican bakery to stock up on the breads and cookies.
It has been way to looooooooooooooong since I had one of these and I'm glad I was able to stock up on these goodies to share w/ my family and my friends...oh and the memory of being a kid!!!!
