Blacklick, Ohio / Columbus, Ohio Family Portrait Photographer || The Crawford Family

I can’t describe to you the feeling of seeing a client after a little while. Many of you know I took a break from ‘FULL TIME’ photography during the pandemic and have since come roaring back to full time status this year. My expectation of my clients returning to me was… well… I told myself, ‘They won’t be back because they found other talented people and I shouldn’t expect them to. It was ME who stepped away so I can’t expect anyone to return.’

YOU GUYS PROVED ME WRONG. I thank God every night for that too! The Crawford family was not always what you see here. Years ago, it was a bride and groom in front of my camera. Then I saw a husband and wife through my lens, expecting their first child. After a few weeks, their ‘bump’ turned into a sweet baby boy who I held in my studio and wrapped in soft blue cloth. Now you see them here in these photographs as a family, navigating life together.

Their sweet boy is a little camera shy so while maybe ‘traditionally’ portraits might be looking at the camera, his parents and I decided that he came before the vanity of photos. I think we made the right call. Little ones have BIG feelings that they can’t always express or know how to perfectly explain so I think that our choice to respect him turned into some REALLY beautiful and stunning moments. I truly adore what we captured here. Our babies are not little for long. Let’s agree to capture their tiny bodies in our arms for as long as we can. Let’s soak in the snuggles and cuddles. How about we let them be little and capture them just like that. <3
