Boho Maternity Session / Columbus Ohio Maternity Session

 It's the intoxicating mix of nervousness and excitement that make maternity sessions so emotional and amazing.  
Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the newest family member.
Hair?  No hair?
Will they look like mommy or daddy?  Or Grandpa maybe?  ;)
Will they come a little early?  A little late?  Middle of the night?
All of these unanswered questions create a magic in the photos that set a maternity session apart from all others.  

These are memories you're going to want to hold onto.
It's the last pictures of your baby as "THE BABY" and not big sis (or big bro).
They way your husband cradles your belly with his hands when he holds you.
The way your little one fits perfectly onto your bump.... as if it was designed just for them.

Enjoy the ride mamas.....because its bumpy and messy and beautiful all at the same time.
 

Welcome to the world baby "P" / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photography

The moment this mama walked in for her Maternity Session, I knew it was going to be good.  The lovely ladies from The Beauty and the Blondes Salon in Canal Winchester (right down the street from my studio) ROCKED her hair and makeup and had her looking amazing.  
Fast forward 4 weeks to the day her little girl FINALLY decided to make her debut!  
A week past her due date, this little  peanut didn't want to leave her cozy little 9 month home!

Welcome to the world Baby P - you are so loved......

Meet Baby "P" / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer

This little guy and his family traveled all the way from out of state for this session.  
When that happens, you absolutely feel like it's "now or never" as you can't exactly just have them come back if baby decides to party like a rockstar instead of sleep.  
LOL
Luckily for me, baby P did not disappoint.  His whole family was so sweet and his big sister was totally model material.  
She was SO GOOD with him guys!  SO GOOD!
 I'm so honored they chose JRP.  I hope mama loves them as much as I do.

Enjoy....

Introducing Baby "T" / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer

Newborn Twin Boys / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photography

Being a mommy of twins myself, I'm always so excited to have twin in the studio.  It's so crazy to think back to that chaotic time when your hands are full, the house is a mess (let's be real, mine is still a mess!), and you're just trying to keep your head above water.  I honestly have no idea how mamas of newborn twins do it!  And that is coming from a mamma of twins!  
I can hardly remember balancing a baby on each hip, pushing two shopping carts around the grocery store, or navigating the crowded aisles of a mall with a double stroller.  
I say that to give all of you mamas who are out there living it hour by hour hope.  For real, you just get through it and then one day look back and you're on the other side of it.  
Babies are such a blessing.  Oh my goodness.  There is NOTHING better in the entire world that to meet your little one(s) for the first time, but babies are WORK!  
We all know it's true!  
So hats off to all the mamas out there with their hands full and their hearts even fuller.....

xoxo, Jillian

Welcome to the world baby girl / Columbus Ohio Baby Photographer

Spring is finally here and I love being able to use light and airy
colors during my newborn session.  
This sleepy girl was so sweet!  

Enjoy!

Worth the Wait / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer

After many storms...comes the rainbow.  This little guy was hoped and wished for and I'm so honored to be able to capture these memories for this family.  

They've waited so long to hold their sweet boy in their arms.

Baby Charlotte / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer

This sweet little girl was a dreamboat for her newborn session!  I think that her family images might be some of my most favorite ever!  She already has daddy wrapped around her finger.  He couldn't get enough of little Charlotte and her mama.  
I am so blessed to be able to share in these special moments with so many families!

Introducing Harper Marilyn / 6 days old / Columbus Ohio Baby & Newborn Photographer

This sweet little bundle of lovin was sooooo super squishy and super sleepy!  
I'm not sure she even opened her eyes once now that I think back on it.  
...and can we just talk about those rolls!  
I'm in love
 

Introducing Wyatt Beatrice / Newborn Photography Columbus Ohio / Jillian Renee Photography

I love it when newbies come to the studio flaunting a full head of hair.  And this lady did NOT disappoint!  She was so pretty and so sleepy (once we got her to sleep...).  I also need to mention how amazing mama looks.  Right?  I am so happy that these two ladies spent an afternoon with me.  And I'm kind of loving the blanket and bow mama brought along
(see first pic...)

Jillian Renee Photography / Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer

I'm so fortunate to have such amazing clients.  I've had the privilege of photographing this sweet family for all of their newborn sessions.  This little sweetheart makes baby number THREE for them (truth be told, I hope they have 6 or 7 babies because they make the cutest kiddos around!).  This session proved to be a bit of a challenge with a 2 yr old and 1 year old "big" brother and sister.  We manage to get everyone settled though and as you can see, baby sis was able to catch a few zzzz's in the midst of the chaos.

Cake Smash Session - Woodland Theme / Columbus Ohio Baby Photographer

Be still my heart with this smiley little dude.  I hadn't seen him since his newborn session so I was blown away when I saw how big he had gotten.  He was all smiles and didn't mind our countless outfit changes since we promised him cake when it was all done!  lol!  

I snuck in a few flashback photos at the end of his maternity and newborn session....I love a good before/after don't you!?
