Studio Maternity Session - Cincinnati Maternity Photographer

Instead of doing this maternity session outside with this grey weather, we did them in my Newtown Ohio studio. The studio has so many backdrop options plus my lighting in the studio is perfect. I also have a client closet of maternity dresses and outfits for my clients to wear!

A Indian Hill High School Senior

This young man came to me from Indian Hill High School in Cincinnati, Ohio as a senior. He is a violinist in the school’s orchestra. Of course, we had to use his violin as a prop for a few photographs. The dark backdrop gives it a dramatic effect that I am very happy with.

After the violin pictures, he changed into something a little more relaxed. Business casual.

Another outfit change… and this time all dressed up!

I really enjoy capturing the personalities of these seniors. I hope I accomplished this with this senior as well. Good Luck!

Liam is turning one - Cincinnati Child Photographer

Mr. Liam is a few days shy of turning one and what a better way to celebrate than to capture this big milestone. We met up at California Woods on the east side of Cincinnati. We started the session with portraits of Liam with Mom and Dad, a few with just Mom and a few with just Dad and of course Liam by himself.

After our portrait session we went down to the creek and had a one year session with just Liam. We brought along a lot different props to make this session fun!

Once we were done with that, we had a cake smash session. Liam’s mom brought a cake and we let him go at it. I love how this session turned out. What do you think? If you want to book your one year session with me please email me at sonja.mcgill@yahoo.com. Hope to see you soon!

Baby Linz is here - Cincinnati Birth Photography

There is (almost) nothing more I like to photograph then a homebirth. This was the fourth birth I have captured for this family. It feels like an hour that they are asking me to come back each time. And what a Rock Star is this mom? She makes Labor and Delivery look like a piece of cake. I almost didn’t make it to this birth. I only had minutes to spare!

Homebirth is just something special. The whole process just feels so natural. I love capturing the whole family loving on Baby and Mom after the delivery.

The “first look” pictures of mom & dad looking over their baby always get to me.

To get more information for your birth photography please contact me at sonja.mcgill@yahoo.com. I would love to photograph your hospital or home birth for you.

Family Pictures at Ault Park - Cincinnati Family Photographer

Last week I photographed the U Family at Ault Park here in Cincinnati. Ault Park is one of my favorite parks to photograph. The flowers, the greenery, the cascade fountain and the pavilion are just gorgeous and make a great background for photos.

The U Family was so relaxed and easy to photograph. I loved the outfit they chose for their daughter. Who knew that brown and rainbows go together but it works!
