I adore this family and photographing families BIG TIME!   It fills my heart with love!   Get ready to have “all the feels” (as the expression goes) with this session. One of my favorite things about being a photographer who captures relationships is watching them grow.  I’ve known Roohi and Jordan now for many years and I am truly honored that they have hired me to photograph their biggest family milestones.  Not to mention that Roohi and Jordan are gorgeous and adorable individually and together as a couple.  Here is a link to their maternity session we did a little over three years ago.  Now they have their sweet son Zayd and a baby girl on the way.   Hello!!!  CUTEST FAMILY ALERT!  Roohi you have the perfect baby bump!

Zayd is an adorable, sweet and fast three year old boy.  He enjoyed exploring Ault park and likes to run.  Roohi and Jordan I admire your patience as parents.   Your genuine, kind and loving souls are so visible as you looked after Zayd during our family maternity photography session.

When I’m working with families I try to have them fall into their own natural poses.  I feel their photos are more authentic and natural that way.  This sweet boy naturally would put both his arms right around his parent’s multiple times.  You will see it throughout the photos.  Talk about a photographers dream!  I always want families touching, hugging and holding hands so their love shows in the photos.  Zayd’s a natural love bug!  Here are some of my favorites.Dayton ohio lifestyle family photographertipp city ohio maternity photographyI have another photo of this set of Zayd smiling, but I LOVE this one and how it shows his personality and surprise! tipp city ohio photographer captures maternity sessionAgain Zayd posing perfectly with his little hands and that’s all him! cincinnati ohio maternity photographyHe LOVES his baby sister!dayton ohio maternity photographerJordan THANK YOU for getting your workout in as I asked you to swing and fly Zayd around multiple times throughout our session!  I’m sure it was tiring…but it kept Zayd engaged and made for some amazing photos.  Ault park family sessiontipp city ohio family photographertipp city ohio photographer captures maternity sessionThere he is again…hands right up holding mommy and daddy!  This is one of my favorites.I know all of you former mama’s to be have some baby belly bump envy here!  Perfect little basketball bump!Those baby browns!!!!!  So much cuteness!

I’m sure you recognize this adorable and fun family as they are not new to the Faye Sommer Photography blog!  Click here for their session from last year.  I’ve been their family photographer for many years and I look forward to their session each year!  Natalie had mentioned the pretty yellow flowers, in a field just outside of Tipp City for this session.  I had been eyeballing the same field and had just shot a senior session there days before.  It’s such a pretty field!  Some fields are full of ugly weeds…but this is a blend of beautiful tall grasses and pretty yellow wildflowers.   Between coordinating  our schedules and catching beautiful light that meant I only got about 40 minutes to shoot with them.  AND we added their cute dog, Stella for a couple of shots.  Folks I usually allow 1- 1& 1/2 hours for family sessions!  I had to hustle!  I worked my magic and we were able to pull it off.  It helps that their kids are really well behaved.  But I have tricks up my sleeves for younger kids that aren’t as great at listening.

They laughed at my jokes, followed along to my posing ideas and we were able to get what feels like a full session in half the time.  Natalie is secretly hoping for a snow scene family session this winter…..and frankly so am I.  That would be so beautiful!!!  Fingers crossed over here Nat that the conditions line up and our schedules work!  Photographing Fall and Winter in Southwest Ohio can be SO unpredictable.   I’ve loved the warm temps…but it’s like September and August switched.  Thanks again Natalie, Jason, Taylor, Aiden and Maddie!  It’s always an honor and so much fun to photograph you guys!!!

I still have a few slots left for Dayton area family Fall sessions!  Contact me if you’d like to get on the books. tipp city ohio family photographyohio black and white family photography tipp city family photography with dogtipp city ohio fall family photographytipp city ohio family photography flower fields
