The Kelso Family | Mama Mia!

Wow, so we have been really excited to post this session! It started back in May. Our church gives out different gifts for Mother's Day and they came up with some really clever ideas, like a honey baked ham for the mother with the heaviest baby (haha, told you they were clever!), and other nifty things like that. Well, for the newest first time mom they wanted to give a portrait session and they asked us if we would like to donate three family portrait sessions (one for each of the services), which we were thrilled to do! It's truly special to shoot a family as they grow. Adding a new addition to the family is one of those first big "milestones" in a couple's life after their wedding day, and we love to be a part of capturing the newness and joy of that experience.

Now, we would like to introduce you to the Kelso family. Stacey was one of those moms who received a portrait session when little Mia was just about a month old. Last weekend, we had the opportunity to meet up with Stacey, her husband Pat, and baby Mia to shoot some pictures at Creekside, in Gahanna. It was a beautiful evening. We started down by the water, with some cute little family shots, the sun trickling through the trees behind them. After a little while, Mia started getting fussy so they busted out the most adorable little giraffe, which got plenty of giggles out of her. :) As the evening wore on, Mia started getting sleepy and eventually drifted off in her momma's arms. When she fell asleep, we decided to take the opportunity to get some shots of Pat and Stacey together. They are such a sweet couple!

Here are some of our favorites from a fun-filled shoot, and you can register HERE to see all of their images when they're available. :) Enjoy!
