This sweet family is no stranger to the blog. I’ve been lucky enough to have the honor of photographing them for the past 4 years now! The weekend I got married was the weekend their first son, Will, was born. and I was so honored to be able to photograph some of his first portraits. Fast forward 3 and a half years and I was ecstatic to hear that they were having another baby join their family!!! And sweet, newborn Jacob is such a doll. Just 13 days old when I got to meet him, I fell in love w him instantly. He was pretty attentive for our session so I got lots with his pretty eyes open. Although, he was sleeping on daddy when I got there… columbus-ohio-newborn-photography-001 smiling up at his mama, are you kidding me? the sweetest!Big brother Will came home towards the end so of course we had to get him holding his new baby brother. I love how he’s looking down at him! Melt!

lynn and tom, thank you guys again for trusting me with your beautiful family. you know I adore you guys so much and I’m so happy for you guys. Jacob is amazing just like William. I can’t wait to watch them grow together! big big love, friends! xxJBZ

The Fleck family is one of the sweetest you’ll ever meet, and after getting to know them on the wedding day, so are the Leskos! Jim and Diana are so perfect for each other, he loves her so much.

Another sweet tiny peanut!! I’m so lucky that people continue to trust me to photograph some of the first moments of their newborns lives. I always love getting to cuddle the babies, of course, but I know how treasured these images will be in years to come. These sweet newborn babies grow so fast, even those we all wish they would stay tiny for much longer. Baby Kiptyn was an absolute joy. So sweet and soft and perfect. And mom and dad sure are smitten with him. Even big brother Kaleb wanted his turn to hold his perfect new little brother. Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with this sweet family! those lips!!! I asked Chasity, don’t you just sit and stare at him all day? Yes. How could you not?!When it was time for baby K to eat, I took big brother K and daddy outside to get a few images of them together. I love a little profile shot.. and that little smile. Melt! tiny fingers and toes just melt me.

you guys, congrats again, he is so perfect. I had so much fun spending the afternoon with you. I hope everyone is getting some rest and you’re enjoying every single minute with that sweet baby! Big love!! xxJBZ

meet hannah and andy. this is their first time here on the blog (well, technically they were part of a wedding party but this is their first time here solo!). they are one of the sweeeeeetest couples I’ve ever met. as I said on Facebook, I met andy a *few* years ago when I shot his senior photos. from there, I continued to hope their mom would adopt me into their fun family. I had the pleasure of photographing Andy’s three younger siblings and a couple years ago I got to photograph his sisters wedding! to say I adore this family is quite the understatement. when I found out they were expecting, I was as excited as any big sister would be. this baby is joining one of the best families in the world and is already SO loved. And these two, well, the way they love each other is inspiring. Here’s some of my faves from our time together. oh hannah… you. are. stunning. and pregnancy sure does suit you.

hannah and andy, you guys are going to be the BEST parents!! I’m so so happy for you and I hope I get to meet and love on that sweet baby when he decides to arrive! big big love my friends. xxJBZ
