Baby Jenna | Dayton Newborn Photography
Meet Baby Jenna. Isn’t she adorable? Her mama, Jessica, is in my book club. I love spending time with her. She’s so upbeat and bubbly and can talk about anything. AND she’s a huge Bachelor/Bachelorette fan (one of my guilty pleasures). She even throws a rockin’ finale party each season.
When we’re not talking about books, it’s music. Specifically bands. Jessica and her husband, Kevin, are huge Dave Matthews Band fans. It’s a major part of their relationship and played a very large role in how they met. You can read about it on Jessica’s blog here. So, I was processing these images and listening to Pandora like I usually do. When I clicked on the image of Jessica and Kevin holding Jenna, a Dave Matthews Band song played. Needless to say, I got a little teary-eyed. This little baby is so special to them. I love seeing a new family, a new beginning. And Jenna is beautiful—I mean, seriously, look at those lips!

Oh my, how I love this session. Meet Chuck, Jessica, and Andrew. Aren’t they just the happiest family?! Chuck and Jessica are so warm and kind. It’s no wonder Andrew has such a pleasant demeanor. It’s as if he knows how much he is loved. And boy, is he loved!
He adores snuggling with Mama and playing with his Dada (and LOVES to jump on their bed!). Their joy is contagious and I can’t help but smile when I see these photos. So much love and so much laughter—such a great gift.
And we can’t forget another important member of the family, their Bull Mastiff, Harrigan. Andrew simply adores him – They are soooo cute together.
Jeff + Jessica | Dayton Maternity Photography
Meet Jeff and Jessica. You see, we went to high school together (Jessica actually is a teacher there!). I remember when Jeff went away to college, she would email him each day. And they are just as in love now as they were then. High school sweethearts now with a baby on the way. I love how they love one another.
They were so camera ready. I would only have to hold up the camera and their smiles would be ON. Jessica’s laugh made me laugh with her. And our faces hurt from laughing so much. We are very excited for their baby girl! She is going to be sooo loved.
