Watch Me Grow | Mason Child Photographer | Cincinnati Photographer

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:02:27 +0000

This little princess has been a Priceless Reflections by Melissa client since she was just a few days old. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow and the honor of documenting her life through portraits for her family. On this day, she was real trooper and full of laughs, giggles, and that batting eyelashes look that every little girl seems to master to get what she she wants.

Recognize her from the top of the Smugmug site where you view your images after the session? She’s growing up!

Love Makes the World Go Round | Cincinnati Family Photographer

I’ve been blessed to photograph the “B” family for the last 3 years or so. Blessed because they’re a unique family full of love and compassion and yeah, a lot of fun. The expressions on their faces are so much fun – just look at a slice of our day.

How can you resist smiles like this?

Singing in the Rain | Mason Photographer

Clients often ask what happens if we have weather-that’s-less-than-perfect for a session. A little rain doesn’t stop the Fowler family and it doesn’t stop me. Just look at what fun we had and what great images they’ll have of their time playing in the sprinkles with that crazy Melissa photographer lady.

And then my personal favorite. This is a piece of art for their home – it’s fun, it’s colorful, it’s welcoming, it’s playful, it’s THEM. No one’s looking at the camera, no one’s cheesing… it’s a real moment and it’s why I’m here.

I’ve been photographing the Fowler family since Miss G was only a few days old and splashing in puddles suits us just fine. They wanted me to come back and play the next day – now THAT is a successful portrait session!

Twice As Nice |Scottsdale Family Photographer|

Photographing this family is always a treat – whether in Cincinnati – or here in Scottsdale! I love it when my clients from Ohio end up vacationing in Arizona, and call me for photos! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Caleb and Campbell for quite some time now — and with every session, I just love them more and more! (Plus it helps that their parents are really AWESOME too!)

I photographed the twins in Old Towne Scottsdale and then we went to the Sugar Bowl (haven’t been? I highly recommend it!)…. for some ice cream and of course, more photos!

Wedding Bells {Scottsdale Wedding Photographer}

I met this charming West Side couple at the Civic Center in Scottsdale for pre-wedding portraits.

They were getting married at the courthouse but still wanted fabulous engagement-style portraits to remember the day. They’re super sweet, so very much in love, and they made my job so easy.

Just look!

They celebrated the big event at a small Brazilian restaurant with family and close friends and I can’t wait to show them the rest of their images !

Beautiful Day + Beautiful Family = Beautiful Photos! |Phoenix – Chandler Family Photographer|

Sometimes you can’t go wrong. Take a gorgeous, sunny, bright Phoenix day, add in the mix a fun-loving, beautiful family, and what do you get?? (Ok, don’t guess, I’ll tell ya) You get the most amazing photos of a family that truly eminates love and happiness. What else can I say?? LOVED this session that we shot in downtown Phoenix near Cooperstown and Copper Square.

A Few Of My Favorite Things…

Hello loyal blog readers (and y’all know who you are!) You’ve long asked me for some “good” photos of my own children, to prove it can be done, LOL!! So the other night, I was feeling a bit down-in-the-dumps (hey it happens to everyone, right? I figured it was time to pick up the camera or a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.. so I chose the camera for once, ha ha). So I told each of my four children to PICK THEIR OWN OUTFIT (gasp, shock, choke!) My oldest son chose his typical every-day clothing. My 2nd son chose a “nice” button-down shirt w/ a collar, and some jeans. My 3rd chose an outfit which she wears all the time – one that’s comfy and that she loves – and my 4th chose her FAVORITE tie-dye dress. She wears this dress almost daily, whether we have time to wash it or not (I know, I know, bad mommy…but sometimes it’s just not worth the fight, and does the lifeguard at the pool REALLY care if her dress was worn for 4 hours y’day? No, she doesn’t)

So I didn’t pose my children, per se – I just asked them to have some fun with each other. And here’s what I got:

This first one is of Josh and Ari, and our spaz-puppy Jake. He’s a wild-dog, thus the ’shocker-collar’ around his neck. Rest assured, we normally don’t shock him, we just “tone” him and that seems to be enough… except when he’s really excited and eating someone’s shoes…. which he does a lot…. In our home, we call the boys’ Brothers for Life’ and this has always stuck — so when they are playing around and goofing off like this, often-times they will chant “Brothers for Life!” or something like that…. I saw it on Super-Nanny once (the Brothers for Life phrase) … and I loved it – so I borrowed it. And it stuck…

This is Smushie… she’s effervescent and has me completely wrapped around her fingers.. …. and her crazy hair….This is Ari … just walkin’ down the slide….. And then there’s the “J Team” (Joshua and Jillian)… in our home we do things in teams – so each kid has a ‘buddy’ (I learned this from those crazy Duggar parents). So the younger J (Jillian) has an older J (Joshua) as her “buddy” – and when we get ready to leave the house, etc… the older team member has to help their younger team member… so here I asked for a “J Team” photo…And of course my beautiful princess Jillian…. she’s the sweetest of the Kahn kids, and goes thru life at 1000%…Another “J Team” Moment…Jillian laughing……And swinging….And here’s my handsome little Ari….. Just like we have “Brothers for Life”… we also have “Sisters for Life” … which is sometimes harder to achieve (the harmony, I mean…. ) but there are those fleeting moments when they actually DO love each other….. and play well together… and this night I was lucky enough to capture that….
Handsome Ari…Ari and Josh “monkeying around”….Jillian is always willing to pose for me… I love that about her, LOL!!!And here’s the “A Team” — Ari and Alana…. they are truly soul-mates. They have a relationship that is so special amongst them…. it warms my heart all the time when I see them together…Alana, on the ladder. Notice the set of hands at the bottom right. Those are Ari’s…. he wanted to make sure she wouldn’t fall…..Typical Kahn Kid behavior….The A team again….And the J team again…So…. thanks for looking at my kids’ photos…. now back to your regularly scheduled programming….

Double The Fun!
