Chillicothe, Columbus & Central Ohio Wedding & Portrait Photography — Cassidy Dawn Photography

Well, I’ll admit it…I’m awful at blogging lately :) However, I’ve been shooting like crazy and I’m working hard to get these sessions up for everyone to see in time for the holidays…so I promise, I’ll be back at it one of these days!

Since this shoot, Christa & Cory had their sweet baby Girl, Reese…and we’ve even done a newborn session. I’ll share those too soon…but for now, here’s a look at some of their maternity photos! They are pros at photo shoots now that we’ve done their engagement, wedding, maternity & newborn.  I am just so honored that they keep asking me back :)

Also, keep in mind of the holiday deadlines for this year! All Christmas cards must be ordered by November 21st & all print orders must be ordered by November 28th…no exceptions!! So get working on those orders if you want them in time for Christmas!!

Tomorrow my sister’s baby is due.  We took a few minutes the other day to document who she is now, before she becomes a mother. I may be biased…but I love these :)

Not sure if little “Baby B” is quite ready for tomorrow…but he/she will be here very soon :)

Happy Monday!! I wanted to start this Monday by getting back into the swing of things with blogging. I’ve been slacking a little, but have so much to show you so I’m hoping to do a little better this week!

While in New Mexico I did a super mini photo shoot with Heather’s friend Sami.  Since the shoot, she has given birth to the sweetest little boy Isaac.  Here are a few shots from our shoot.  Oh, and Sami…I’d be happy to fly back and do a family shoot ;)

Sweet big sister, Leisy.

Congrats Finney family…I’m so happy for you!!!

There isn’t any possible way I can sum up the way I feel about the Ash family in a blog post. Sorry, I just can’t do it. As you’ve probably read, Hayley & I have known each other since we were 4.  We met in “preschool Sunday school” and  other than my sisters, she is my oldest friend.  Do you know how amazing it is to watch one of your best friends get married & have babies…well, it’s amazing.

Early last year Justin & I were at the Ash home playing cards & Hayley kept knocking everything (and I mean everything) over. She casually mentioned that last time she was that clumsy was when she was pregnant with Sophie.  We all laughed about that, and continued our game.  When we got home Justin was just as clumsy…and he said, Hayley better be pregnant, cause if she isn’t, you are.

And here we are now. And I am happy about that on many levels ;)

I thought I should combine this post and just go from event to event…so get ready for some maternity pictures, hospital pictures & newborn pictures :)

The maternity shoot was actually pretty unplanned. I was in Columbus and had my camera, and Hayley had a feeling that Laynie wanted to make her arrival before our scheduled shoot.

Love these…

The minute Richard called me to let me know they were heading to the hospital I was putting on my shoes.  Of course I had to wait a couple hours till Justin got home from school…but I was so excited!  *and surprise…Laynie decided to come about 1 month early!

Love this too:

My favorite:

I am so excited to announce that Miss Laynie Paige Ash made her way into this world today..and she’s as cute as can be :)

I got a call from Richard today and proceeded to freak out and stop all work…as soon as Justin got home, we were off to Columbus to meet her.  She is so perfect, and I promise to post pictures soon; however, I think it’s only fair for her big sister Sophie to see her before all of my wonderful blog readers (I am sure you will understand :)

I actually wanted to post these pictures this morning, but decided I shouldn’t.  When I posted Heidi’s maternity photos online, she had her sweet baby girl that day…and Laynie wasn’t due until Dec 13, so I didn’t want to speed that up.  Well, it didn’t matter my intentions…she was ready ;) Hayley & I had a quick impromtu photo shoot one night at her house, she didn’t think she would make it to our planned date (and she was right).  I haven’t gone through all the pictures, but here are a couple that stuck out.

I love this photo so much.

Happy Birthday Laynie.  I am so happy you are here, and I can’t wait to take lots and lots of pictures of you :)
