I’ve been photographing Christie since her senior photos in 2007 and I’ve been doing their family photography for years! And now she has her own beautiful family. Its insane how fast time goes. I’m so lucky to be able to watch these families grow and capture these moments in time. Here are my faves from our time together!Christie and June just celebrated their 4th anniversary in October. Their wedding photos were some of my favessssss!Next up.. the kiddos. I cant believe how big they’ve gotten. Especially Kilee, she was just a peanut when I first met her. Time is such a thief. Heres Connor, Kilee, Eli, and baby Lyla.
Sweet little Lyla Jane, I’ve been photographing her since the minute she was born, literally. Remember her squishy newborn photos? melttttt.

megan+drew+Leo(+rocco too) | Columbus OH family photography

Heyyyyyyyyy friends!! its been way too long since I’ve blogged and about I’m to remedy that with all the beautiful October amazingness I’ve been shooting. And first up is one of the coolest families I know. I’m always honored to photograph any family, more when they keep coming back to me, and even more so when its a photographer who has a huge network of super talented options. I have been lucky enough to photograph this family since Meg was pregnant with Leo. I always have such a blast with them, Leo is for sure the most fun, coolest 5 year old in Columbus.

But, enough with all the talk… here are some of my favessss from our time together!!

Maria+tj | columbus engagement photography

Meet Maria and TJ. One of the happiest and laughiest (I know thats not a word) couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. I was so excited to photograph their engagement session, mostly because I remember how fun Maria was to photograph a few (cough cough) years ago when I photographed her senior photos! As soon as she contacted me about wedding photography, I immediately remembered her mane of curls! I’m so happy they tracked me down for their wedding and engagement photos!! 
Anyone else think Maria looks like 90s Rebecca Gayheart (does anyone even remember her?)?I have quite a few faves from this session but I think this one takes the cake. These two can be so sweet and loving right before cracking each other up. I loved this sweet moment before they both started laughing. Maria and tj, thank you both for trusting me with your engagement photos and soon, your wedding photos. It was an honor to photograph you and I’m so excited to be there for your wedding! you guys are gonna look so fab!! xxJBZ

Angel - I’m in LOVE with these! Congratulations again, Maria!!

Lincoln – 4 days | Columbus Newborn Photography

Meet sweet baby Lincoln. He was only 4 days old when I got to meet and snuggle him last week. The sweetest, sleepiest, most snuggly guy, I did not want to put him down. I always feel so lucky when I get to photograph the teeny newborns. They are probably my favorite. I’ve been looking forward to meeting this guy since finding out his momma, Jen, was expecting. Jen is the owner/lead instructor of Baby Boot Camp Columbus, which is how I met her, back in may 2017..((which, ps, joining BBC was one of my best decisions at a mom. it gets me and the babes out of the house and I’ve met so many wonderful moms who quickly became my friends, come join us, your first class is free)). Anyway, I was so excited to meet her little guy since my little guy is getting so big already! I’m really excited for them to be crawling around at boot camp together! Big brothers Jax (4) and Cash (2) did so good with their little brother. Cash especially loved snuggling his new baby and specifically told me Iwasnt allowed to take “his baby” home with me, much to my dismay.Look at this sweet babyyyyyy! Those rolls!!Momma and her boys.. I just love this. Jen, you are so gorgeous. This little guy fits so perfectly in your arms. I’m excited to watch him grow.

Jen, thank you for allowing me to capture these sweet moments for you guys. I’m so honored to have been able to do sweet Lincolns newborn photography. I adore you and your family and cant wait to have you back at class!! xxJBZ
