When this sweet girl’s mom came to me to talk about her 1-year cake smash, she had a great vision for the set; a Cincinnati skyline featuring Godzilla as the baby. So fun!!

I love when clients come to me with super unique ideas for their cake smash session. When Mom booked this session I was over the moon excited about the theme: Godzilla Takes Over Cincinnati. I immediately contacted my favorite bakery, Tres Belle Cakes to create the perfect cake! Then scoured Etsy for the perfect Godzilla outfit to fit the color scheme. Once those items were lined up, I worked with a local artist to sketch the perfect Cincinnati Skyline, comic book style! I love how everything came together!

This sweet girl did not disappoint and kept with the theme. She went straight to destroying the cake like a little Godzilla.

My favorite moment was when she went head first into the cake!

After every smash, we wrap up with a nice warm bubble bath. This tiny Godzilla could not be contained ha! She had the best time splashing and making a giant mess.

If your baby became a toddler quicker than you could imagine and you want to do a cake smash session, let’s go for it! Always happy to customize with your ideas! Book your session here.

Fall family photo season is officially in full swing! I couldn’t image a better way to kick it off than with one of my very favorite families! The unseasonably warm weather had us all but melting during our session at Sharon woods but you’d never know it looking at this gorgeous family. Max’s energy had us all smiling the entire session and his sweet little expressions had my heart melting into a puddle. Watching kids grow up year to year has to be the best part about this job. Ashley, thanks for trusting me again to capture your sweet family, it’s always a pleasure!

Are you interested in a last minute fall family session for your family? I still have a few slots available for my fall mini sessions at Ault Park on October 29th. You can book your session HERE 🙂

First Birthday sessions are some of my favorite. There’s not much better than a smiling baby who has just learned to walk toddling through the park at sunrise. Pair that with two smitten parents and I am swooning. When I arrived for Elias’s session at the Voice of America Park, I noticed they were setting up for the 2016 Walk to End Alzheimer’s and got really nervous about all the people and having to Photoshop out tons of people from the background of my images. But each and every person was so kind not to photobomb my pictures and several even offered up their dogs to help get some smiles from Elias.  Overall, perfect, perfect morning!  Thank you so much Amy & Alex for trusting me to capture Elias’s First Birthday. Many wished for an amazing year of fun, giggles, and making memories <3 Heather

This family. My heart. I have been photographing this sweet family since Robert was just 10 days old. This boy has grown into the sweetest, vibrant, little love bug ever. He is a ball of unending energy and his love for his Mom and Dad is clear. I am always so grateful when I get a call about pictures. Watching this sweet boy grow has been a privileged. If only I could find a way to slow time down just a bit. I can hardly believe this boy is two already. Thanks again Rob and Sarah for allowing me to capture your memories. Let’s do it again soon <3 Heather

Every week I get to meet some of the best families in Cincinnati, and this family is no different. I met Stacey and her family through my husband. He was teaching a class that Stacey was taking, we got connected and quickly got a date for family pictures on the books. Of course, anyone who lives in Cincinnati knows how unpredictable the weather can be here and that the weather can change at a moments notice. As with all my sessions, I was stalking the weather app no my phone watching to see what was going to happen. The forecast was calling for scattered showers and the clouds were dark. Thankfully right when our session started the sun poked through and gave us the most gorgeous sun drenched pictures! The entire family was gorgeous and couldn’t take a bad picture even if they tried. Thanks guys for trusting me with your family pictures. I hope you love them for years to come

Oh how I love sessions at the Cincinnati Nature Center. Pair that with a completely adorable family dressed in jewel tones and I am in love! The Ellison’s contacted me a few months ago about family pictures but since Cincinnati weather in the spring is completely unpredicatable, it took a few tries to finally make it happen! Even the day of the shoot it was threatening rain and started to sprinkle mid session but we made the best of it and took what we had to work with. Thankfully Mom thought ahead and packed the rain boots so toward the end of the session everyone put on their boots and we jumped in puddles. So. Much. Fun!  Thanks for an amazingly good time guys, let’s do it again soon <3 Heather

Family portrait sessions at sunset, I just can’t get enough of them! We had to reschedule this session no less than 3 times!  Spring weather in Cincinnati is so unpredictable and it seemed like every weekend in May it would be raining when I had outdoor sessions scheduled. Kim was so understanding and took it in stride. I am so glad we decided not to power through in the rain because the light in these pictures is gorgeous and the weather we had that night was perfection!  Liam was perfectly on point with his smiles and posing, I only wish my kids were this awesome for family pictures 😉 Thanks Kim and Will for an awesome session!  I always love spending time with your family! <3 Heather

This sweet little maternity session is one of my favorite to date. When Katie contacted me about pictures I was over the moon. Her husband happens to be the brother to one of my little sisters best friends growing up. Now here we are, all adults with families of our own. And they chose me, to capture their growing family! Such a privilege!  I can hardly wait to see these two big brothers with their new sister (who arrived last night) at their upcoming newborn session!  I can’t wait  to see all 5 of you next week!  Congratulations Katie & Andrew <3 Heather
