Amy+Mark: engaged!

I dont know that I’ve ever photographed a couple more in love than these two.. and thats saying a lot because i photograph a lot of people in love. These two could barely keep their eyes (or hands) off of each other, which was perfectly okay by me. And the laughter! What a happy happy session.
Amy and Mark are huge (HUGE) Cincinnati Reds fans, so of course, we had to go to Cincinnati and shoot around the ballpark. It was a beautiful (if not a little humid) day and we had such a great time. They’re getting married June 28th on a beach in Florida and both are so excited that they keep counting down the days. Amy and Mark, I so wish I was photographing your wedding! We had such a great time with you down in Cinci and wish you all the best! xoJB
Cant go to a ballpark without enjoying a couple beers!

Sydney - OMG! I have tears in my eyes! These are the best! I am sooooo happy for you both. I think your relationship is what we all dream about when we are little girls….don't ever let that change.

and Thurston makes 3

First they were high school sweethearts, then they were man and wife. Now, they’re parents. And trying to get used to this new little man that’s stolen their hearts. And boy, what a cutie he his. It took him a while to finally fall asleep, he was fighting it for a while, just didnt want to miss anything. But after he did, he was super cooperative. and soooo snuggly. and it was so fun to watch Courtney and Tom with their new little guy. Here he is making his blog debut… at only 9 days old.. Enjoy Mr. Thurston. xoJB


one of my new absolute favorite images!



oh i just love this.. so snuggly and cuddly and full of love.

And… because apparently I was a slacker.. here are some highlights of their maternity sesh. isnt she just a beautiful expectant mother?? love it.

atcmp - Thurston Andrew aka TAD rocks!!
Uncle Mike can't wait to meet him.
I especially love the picture of the little tiny cuddly ball between Tom & Courtney!!!!!

paula - What adorable pictures! I especially love the one of the three of you on the bed. Can't wait to see him again, bet he has grown soooo much!

Kristen+Ian: expecting

A year ago, they couldnt imagine themselves having kids. Now they’re so excited for her arrival they can barely stand it. I’ve known Kristen since high school and I cant tell you how awesome it was to see her all glowy and prego. These two are gonna be awesome parents, i mean, just look at those nursery deets! What little girl wouldnt LOVE that room! I’ve been keeping up with the nursery progress via Kristen’s facebook page and was blown away to see it in person. Photos hardly do it justice. But enough about the nursery, check out how GORGE Kristen is!? And Ian, i guess you arent so bad either ๐Ÿ˜‰ Good luck with everything guys! I cant wait to see baby girl Kelly! Enjoy! xoJB





notice their wedding pic right above Ian? Kristen was one of the prettiest brides i’ve ever seen.
had to get one with their first babies
*love*




Baby Braden: 4 days

Get ready to feast your eyes on some cuteness. I’m talking cuteness overload. Baby Braden is just 4 days old here and was just on his best behavior. He was the most cooperative baby ever. Slept just about the whole time and no accidents. Thats a first for me. Little guy weighed just 7 lbs, 7oz when he was born and was 21 in long. I LOVE photographing babies when they’re this new because they’re so ‘pose-able’ lol still curly and womb-like. Congrats again Heather and Josh, and thanks for trusting me to capture some beautiful images of your little man! xoJB



this is my FAVE! Isnt she gorge??



Beth - OMG!!! Heather these are too precious. You and Josh have suych and adorable young man in your lives! Definitely worth the wait!!

My Epiphan!e

Oh. my. goodness. i dont even have words to describe how excited I was when i got the box in the mail. And then when i opened the box i got even more excited. Yes, dear readers, i got myself an epiphanie. Epiphanie bags are camera bags that look like purses and are oh so super cute. I got mine in time for our vegas trip and couldnt be happier. I’m seriously giddy about it. I got the Lola bag, but all of the bags are adorable.. it was so hard to choose! and the colors too, it took me a while to finally decide on the red. if you’re a photographer and wanting a uber cute camera bag, check ’em out! xoJB

you know me i love the detail shots…

seriously, how cute?!
me neither, annie, me neither…

Signa - No kidding, so cute!
