Ashley & Adrian & baby Cole

Some of you might recognize these two. I photographed their wedding a couple years back, remember, Ashley was one of the most beautiful brides EVER. Well now Ash and Ade have one of the cutest babies ever! Baby Cole gave me so many different expressions during his session. Some of that might have been due to him fighting off sleep. He just didn’t wanna miss a thing. But thats ok because that way we got some of those big beautiful eyes of his! Check out Ashley and Adrians newest reason to smile and their first official family photos. xoJB





*baby smiles*
and Scooter, their first baby, wanted to make an appearance too.
love how he’s like, ‘yo, we done yet?’ lol

Amy & Mark and baby makes 3!

My sweet friend Amy and her dear husband Mark are about to have a baby any day now. I’m so excited for them and they’re so excited! These two are so much in love its contagious. lol As you’ll see in their newest photos, Mark is so madly in love with Ames (as it should be) and can’t keep his hands off of her (or his lips ;-P). Before i get to showing you their maternity pics, just a little flashback.
Amy did some boudoir photos for Mark for a wedding gift, and WowZa is she a hottie!

oh yeah, they’re both HUGE Cincinnati Reds fans. =)

So much so, that we did their engagement photos around the ballpark:


And now they have a baby boy on the way… and i can’t wait to meet him either! stay tuned for pics of the little guy, he’s due to arrive around April 10th!

my fave!!!





Congrats again to the both of you! I’ll see you both soon! xoJB

Kara & Rob: a DC engagement

It was a chilly morning early in DC. With coffee in hand, we went to some pretty spots around the city while the sun came up. Early morning light is soooo pretty for photo sessions! Kara is not only a friend of mine, she’s actually my sister! Sorority sister that is. =) And she couldnt have found a sweeter guy or someone who balances her out, more than Rob can. He’s the calm to her sassy. Pretty much like JJ and myself. LOL Kara and Rob, i cannot wait until your wedding in June. We’re gonna have so much fun. You two are perfect for each other and I’m so glad I got to capture a little bit of the fun you have together. I love you both! xoJB
So, catching the sun coming up, with a view of DC in the background:

Femme Fatale Hotness

So, i have this friend. And she’s amaze. Smart, fierce, hot and oh so confident. She’s the creator of, owner of Femme Fatale Fitness. If you live in the Dayton area and havent take a class there yet, you need to do so. You dont know what you’re missing out on. Jackie and her husband recently moved to Colorado where she’s planning on taking Denver by storm as well. I had the honor of photographing her one last time before they left and she rocked it as she always does. Jack, i wish you the best of luck expanding your fabu biz out west. Dayton misses you. Cant wait to hear about everything when you come back for a visit. xoJB
