Hannah paused for just one moment, right before she stuffed her hands in her pockets and started twirling like a Disney princess. Her little golden flats twinkled in the evening sunlight. They danced down the gravel paths of Rowe Arborteum. She clutched her sweet hands to her heart. She sang a few notes of ‘Let it Go.’ ‘Elsa is my favorite.’ she exclaimed as she showed me the dolls she brought along to the Hart family session.

Kelsey had originally scheduled their family session immediately after their sweetest new addition, Natalie, made her appearance in December. As most Ohioans know, December weather can be frigid (unless you are lucky), and we needed to reschedule this session. I am so excited that we were able to! It was the best weather day in March so far. The sun was shining. It was warm enough for Kelsey to show off her adorable breezy, floral dress. And Thomas seriously rocked his pink button down! My photographer senses were buzzing when they stepped out of the car (Style Guide Heaven)! With Princess Jasmine (aka Hannah) in her dusty blue romper, and Natalie with her stylish booties, the Hart family came dressed to impress.

Hart Family, I hope you enjoyed the evening at Rowe Arboretum as much as I did. You both did exactly what I wish for all of my clients during a family session. Have fun with your family! It was such a joy for me to capture these playful moments between you and your kiddos. And can I just say, my heart absolutely melted when Hannah exclaimed, ‘thank you for the pictures’ as she was leaving! Kelsey + Thomas, thank you for raising such a sweet little girl. I’m sure Sissy will follow right along in Hannah’s footsteps. I cannot wait to capture more moments for the Hart family in the future!
