If I am being honest, it seems to weird to me to be sharing a family session here on the blog! While it hasn’t been so long to photograph a family session, it has been quite some time sharing one for all to see. For the past few years, I focused solely on weddings, maternity & newborn sessions that I didn’t share when a past client of mine would book a family session or share snip its of my mini sessions that I would host every year. But today I have a Schoepfle Garden family session to share with you all and it feels really, really nice to see these back here on the blog!
A Schoepfle Garden Family Session
Mama had a portrait session with me many years ago, with her and her children! Back then I did not realize what they were, but it was very much so a motherhood session and I am happy to get to see her kiddos once again and how much they have grown!
Mom chose one of my favorite locations for her family session, Schoepfle Gardens! This location has so many nooks, crannies & beautiful backgrounds to choose from and really shines in the spring with all the blooming flowers! While we did come right at the beginning of the spring season, we were still able to find some really great spots that offered nice greenery and even a few small little blooms to give us that spring feeling to their family portraits!
Photographing in the early spring here in Ohio can be tricky. It can tend to still be quite brown & gloomy, however with these few tips, you can avoid those leaf-less trees and still have the feel of spring! Find a greenery bush that is “bloomed” year round. This includes rhododendron bushes, bamboo and even pine trees too! Wear pastel & spring colors to add in color if you can’t find any in the location you are at. Lastly, be sure to photograph on a bright, sunny day! This doesn’t always get to happen, I know. But having that sun shining on you brings the little bit of pop that you’ll be looking for!

I love when a new client signs up during one of my mini sessions and becomes a wonderful, continuous client that I have the honor of seeing year after year. It is such an honor when someone becomes a loyal part of the BSP family. B is one of those clients and I am always more than thrilled when I know we have a session coming up. She is expecting her second daughter and I got to document her North Ridgeville maternity session at the end of her pregnancy.
North Ridgeville Maternity Session
B’s daughter is such a little ham and honestly, makes my job too incredibly easy! (I also should stop saying that before I jinx myself! Ha!) But I loved getting to capture those last few moments of B & M together before she gets to become a big sister. Just going through this myself, I know those last few months, weeks & days with your first born before the second one arrives is such a bittersweet feeling. As soon as that second child arrives, your first born doesn’t look so little anymore and you just wonder, ‘were they always this big’? I actually had a sweet client of mine tell me before I had T, as soon as he was here, I’d look at L and he would look so old to me and my goodness was she right.
We captured B’s maternity session at home since it was March and still quite chilly outside. I always prefer this option in the winter months with little ones as I think they just participate a little better, even more so when they are in their comfy & safe environment! (Another reason why I love in home sessions so much!) But despite that chilly weather, we did get to have some sun shining through B’s dining room and it warmed those portraits right up.
I love getting to share deep conversations with my clients as we photograph their sessions about the mountains and valleys that motherhood can bring. It feels like such a gift to me getting the opportunity to meet so many moms & getting to make those personal connections through my business. B & I got to talking so much during her session, we could have almost totally forgotten we were there to do a portrait session! While some folks may not prefer that, I love my tribe of clients that allow the room to make those connections during their shoot!

I am officially back in action after taking off for my maternity leave with T! I truly couldn’t have wanted a better session to get myself back in the game or get my creative juices moving again than with this Chagrin Falls Motherhood Session. It was a treat getting to meet M’s newest addition & I always enjoy our conversations we have when we are together.
Chagrin Falls Motherhood Session
M is a mom to now three little ones & the owner of Meg Morrow Design. She is an incredibly talented stationary artist & I get the joy of working with her daily too, as her VA! I love getting to work with creative & driven business owners and M certainly fits the bill. She is so encouraging when I need that little pep talk and I’m just so thankful for the friendship I have gained with her!
As I mentioned, M just welcomed her third babe in February. It was lovely having a friend also pregnant & feeling those woes alongside me! Ha! This year is my first full year as a motherhood photographer and I really wanted to take the idea of motherhood sessions beyond just maternity, newborn & family portraits and really embrace portraits that are motherhood focused.
During M’s session, we talked so much about that balance of being a new mom, a business owner and wife and trying to manage all the things. It can be so difficult especially in the season of newborns and young children. But as a mom, it is so nice being able to have those conversations with other moms who get it and can relate with you.
I loved how M’s portraits turned out for her motherhood session. And I just had to sneak in a few newborn portraits of her sweet little one as well. She gave me some really wonderful ideas for portrait sessions to offer this year and I can’t wait to share more of those details with you!
