Baby Brayden - Toledo Newborn Photographer

This one is from my recent session with baby Brayden. Little Brayden had a rough start to life and was faced with many health problems. But I'm happy to say he is now home and doing well! He is 6 weeks in this photo. Such a sweet little peanut!

Below is the winning photo. I took this photo in Hocking Hills, OH. He had been swimming, hiking, and exploring the caves with my husband and I on our vacation this past May.

Babies and Bullies Calendar Project - Toledo Pet Photographer

Recently I have been working on a photo calendar project for Toledo's PET Bull Project (TPBP).  The organization contacted me and asked me to help out, and I agreed to volunteer my time and talent to take photographs to be used in the Babies and Bullies calendar they will soon be selling to raise funds for TPBP. The goal of the calendar project is to photograph babies and young children with Pit Bulls and other Bull-type dogs to illustrate that these dogs are gentle and are capable of being trusted with children.

Toledo's PET Bull Project is a 501C3 nonprofit organization that is committed to prevent animal cruelty and dog fighting, educate pet owners on the importance of spay and neuter, and to train pets and people in our community to become good advocates for their breed. TPBP is not a rescue; however they work with local animal rescue groups whenever necessary. They offer Pet Safety classes, Humane Education classes, Free Park Trainings, and Pawsitive Youth Training classes.

All the proceeds from the calendar sales will benefit TPBP. Once the calendars printed and ready for sale I will post the information on how to get your hands on one. So check back soon!

Buddy, the Adopted Golden - Toledo Pet Photography

Do you remember Pete (Buddy) the Foster Dog?  He was my sweet foster dog from the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource (GRRR).  Well, I fell in love with him almost the instant I got him home.  He was timid and scared at first and would shy away when I tried to pet him. But after about five minutes he allowed me to pet him and then he realized he could trust me and jumped up and gave me a big hug and a smile as if to say, "Thank You!"  I fell in love instantly.

Buddy's famous smile

Soon after that, Aaron came to love him too and we decided to adopt him. On March 24th we signed the papers and he became ours. Now he is officially known as "Buddy, the Adopted Golden".

Buddy loves his tennis ball.

Did I mention because Buddy was found to be heartworm positive, the shelter he was at had him scheduled to be euthanized?  If it wasn't for the Golden Retriever Rescue Resource (GRRR) we would not have Buddy in our lives today.

Baby Girl Eliana - Toledo Newborn Photography

I recently had the pleasure to take some newborn photos of this sweet baby girl. She was a bit fussy and wanted to be held at first, but once she had a fully belly I was able to get some wonderful photos of her.

How do you like my new "nest" prop?

 

I love it!
