I AM CHEESE DIP. (And so are you!)

I saw a meme. It was an uplifting thing declaring each and every person's worth. You know that free salsa at the table of nearly every mexican restaurant? Yup that stuff that you just can't help mindlessly eating until you really just aren't hungry for your entree anymore? Yeah, that stuff is fun to snack on, but honestly it's nothing to write home about. Bu[...]

COVID-19 Policies (This is hard, I'm a hugger.)

0

Guys, this whole virus thing is not fun. I'm missing my clients! I'm missing the creative process. I'm missing the hustle and the routine of work. And I'm missing the hugs. (But I guess that will have to be missed a little longer.) After consulting with medical professionals and listening to Governor DeWine's recommendations for best practices, I'm ready [...]

Little Brother, Cincinnati OH Newborn Photographer

0

I'm so happy this little guy got his session in before the virus-related shutdowns (I'm also heartbroken for my mommas who delivered just a few days later, as they didn't have the same chance.) As a Cincinnati OH newborn photographer, I'm subject to the stay-at-home order which forbids non-essential business from operating. It breaks my heart to cancel or re[...]

Quiet Morning in Home, Newborn Photographer

2

Adding a second baby to a young family is challenging. The toddler isn't much more than a baby himself. He just doesn't understand who this new little creature really is and why he's suddenly the center of attention. I know, I've been there. My oldest two are less than two years apart and while I loved their closeness, I appreciate the challenges of having t[...]

Is a Documentary Wedding Photographer Right for You?

0

Wedding photographers run the gamut from beautiful airy posed portraiture that looks like it was pulled straight from a magazine to gritty, raw, unfiltered imagery of a candid-only reportage photographer with a truly streetworthy style. And I'm not judging ANY of that, because just like there's true love out there for everyone, there's also a perfect photogr[...]

Best of 2019, Cincinnati Family Photographer

0

So it's mid-February and I'm finally ready to share some of my personal favorites from the past year. This has been a landmark year for Mischief and Laughs Photography. It was my first full year back in the Cincinnati, OH area and I was blessed to be able to reconnect with long time clients and meet many new ones as well. This year I photographed over 75 fam[...]

Editing Birthmarks in Newborn Photography

2

You can call it a storkbite, salmon patch, or (my favorite nickname) an Angel kiss. These sweet words all describe a common type of harmless birthmark in newborn babies, a nevus simplex. They are common and become more apparent when baby is crying or hot. Most of the time they are relatively fleeting, with most disappearing by toddlerhood. Editing birthmarks[...]
