Ashley and Adrian, thank you for once again trusting me to capture these special moments in your life! I love watching Cole grow and its always a joy to see the two of you!

Baby Mikey – 5 month review

I’ve been a very bad aunt of late and haven’t posted all the gorgeous photos i’ve taken of my new baby nephew and my pretty little nieces.. I post them on Facebook every once in a while forgetting that so much of the family isn’t on Facebook to see how he’s growing! So, without further ado, here are photographs of baby mikey over the last few months..

thats right, little buddy.. thats right…

he’s gonna be a BIG Ohio State Buckeye fan, just like aunt jenny and uncle JJ…


this is one of my FAVORITE photos.. look at how he’s smiling up at daddy!!

with his BEAUTIFUL big sisters.. in order: Logan, Morgan and Rae is holding mikey.

getting a photo of the whole family proves to be very very difficult… here’s a decent one at Mikey’s baptism.. mandy and JJ are mikey’s godparents.

with uncle brad:

and with uncle justin:

so thats all i have for now.. that gets you pretty much caught up on my new nephew.. I promise i’ll try to be better about posting.. and i’ll post some recent photos of the girls too!!

much love!!! xoJB

Megan Danser - Umm so I just love that “My Auntie Rocks” onsie. Cute cute!! Adorb photos Jenny, as always!

Erika & Ryan: Engaged!

I was so excited when Erika asked me to photographer her and her fiancé. I’ve photographed Erika before and she’s so fun, i couldn’t wait to do it again. I’m a little bummed i can’t photograph their wedding in Vegas in October, since i’m getting married 2 days after her here in Columbus.. although my fiancé says we could make it work, i think thats cutting it just a bit too close. haha..

 

We started out with a couple photos of the family..

"dayton fun family photography"

"dayton child photography"

then gma and gpa came to get the kids and we moved on to do some of my favorite types of photos, the engagement photos!

Geeeeez Erika, could you GET anymore gorge?!! oh those eyes, i die..

oh ryan, i love how you love her…

Ryan was an absolutely riot during this session.. its no wonder his daughter loves the camera so much. 😉

E, i know you’ve been so excited to see these so i hope you love them as much as i do! i so wish i could be there for your wedding but i can’t wait to photograph you guys in your wedding attire when you get back!! xoJB

Erika - Cant say enough AMAZING things about you!!! I love you and your work!!!! Amazingly done!!!!!

Laurie - Wow!!! These are amazing pics!!! Love them!!! 😉

Amanda - Gorgeous! Looks like a lot of fun and love!

amanda & charles: engaged!

These two can be summed up in their own 2 words: a hippie and her soldier. Thats the perfect way to describe them. I actually met Amanda a few years ago when we were teaching classes at Femme Fatale Fitness. And I’ve known Charles (aka Chuck) peripherally for a number of years. Now at first glance, you wouldn’t think a yoga instructor and a biker would be the perfect fit, but these two definitely are. You can see that after spending just a couple of minutes with them. They are absolutely smitten with each other. We were shooting after the sun went down because i was having so much fun with them, it was like hanging out with old friends.

As i said above, chuck’s pretty big into motorcycles, so it was only fitting when he pulled up to the session on his Harley. So of course we had to include that pretty bike in some pictures:

then it was off for a quick outfit change and some more sweet images. chuck, i LOVE how much you love her!

here’s a fun fact: these two host trivia together on monday nights. isn’t that such a fun thing for a couple to do together? look how fun these two are, i mean, come on!

chucks not always the biggest fan of getting his picture taken, and less so of smiling in photos.. but after a little convincing, we got this, look at that smile!!! you’re handsome chuck. keep smiling.

this is another one of my favorites… they just look so comfy.. she loves him so much.

i love this too.. this is so amanda. fun, spunky, cute. and i just love chucks face in this.. lol they are SO DAMN CUTE!

Amanda and Chuck, i’m so honored you chose me to capture your wedding day. I can’t wait! I’ll see you guys in September in West Chester! xoJB

Faye - SO SO SO fun and beautiful images Jenny! Congrats to this sweet couple!

kristin, aaron & baby claire | columbus family photography

Kristin and Aaron have a pretty special place in my heart. My fiancé, JJ, has known aaron for about 10 years or so now. JJ was in their wedding, Aaron will be a groomsman in our wedding come october. and i had the distinct pleasure of photographing their wedding 2 years ago on June 26th. I was so happy for them when we got the text that they were expecting. And then waited in suspense for the next few months to find out whether baby would be a boy or a girl since they decided to not find out ahead of time. Enter Claire Elizabeth at 10:54am  May 26th, coming in at 8 lbs, 7 oz and 21 inches long, she’s so BEAUTIFUL! i had so much fun cuddling and snuggling with her, since she was not too keen on getting her photo taken.. already taking after her parents i guess. lol anyways, here are some of my favorites of the pretty little claire. aaron and kristin, we are sooo happy for you guys, she couldn’t be any prettier. can’t wait to see her again! we love you guys! xoJB
