Jonah Williams Cincinnati Bengals Pregnancy Maternity Session | Bare Baby Photography

It’s been a crazy year of maternity sessions. When Val contacted me to plan her and Jonah Willian’s pregnancy session the first thing I did is scheduled her complimentary consultation to discuss her vision for the shoot. Your vision is super important as I want you to cherish these images always. It’s important to feel beautiful and confidant during your session. I will guide you through every setup and will help you with your hands and make sure every details is perfect. Every maternity session comes with professional hair and makeup and a full wardrobe is provided for you. Val wanted them to both wear their Gucci sneakers and I absolutely love how they looked in this setup with Johan’s green teeshirt. Sneakers are totally a vibe and I am here for it. I also love wearing tennis shoes and I love how they are totally trending right now. She also wanted a couple of images with dramatic lighting so we did some backlighting with a dramatic flare. Here is a sneak peek as some of the images I captured for Val and Jonah.

Moody Intimate Maternity Session | Columbus Ohio Maternity Photographer

I absolutely love intimate and moody maternity sessions, but they still need to have a softness to them, it’s all about the art of the edit and mood of the lighting. I had to much fun photographing Elvis and Alessandra Merzlikins maternity session. Elvis is the goalie for the Columbus Blue Jackets, of course our favorite goalie. Aleksandra and I worked together to bring her vision to life. She is a Switzerland beauty and very familiar with Russian styles. It just so happened that I had actually fallen in love with that style and had spent several months learning from a few celebrity Russian photographers to learn this technique.


In February of this year I will be opening my brand new 1600 sf luxury studio. This studio was designed to allow me to capture my lighting techniques flawlessly with 12ft ceilings, heated concrete floors, white walls it’s the ultimate space to create the most amazing and treasured photos. The concrete floors and white walls will cast the most beautiful tones to compliment my editing style. We have expanded our maternity wardrobe even more and have over 100+ options for our mammas including glamorous maternity gowns, form fitted dresses, silk fabrics, robes, bodysuits and so much more.

Elvis Merzlikins Baby Reveal | Columbus Ohio Pregnancy Maternity Photographer

I am so excited to announce that Elvis Merzlikins and his wife Aleksandra are having a BOY!! Aleksandra and I spent weeks chatting over different ideas for locations and details and we had it all planned out but right when we were headed to our location the sky went dark and it started pouring rain. We ended up on the ice and we both felt like it was destiny as we now know the Columbus Ohio Blue Jackets have a future goalie in the making.

Studio Maternity Photography | Shelly and James Laurinaitis | Bare Baby Photography

I just love indoor maternity sessions. It’s especially nice when the weather turns cold in Ohio and you have little ones that you want in the photos. The possibilities are endless. Shelly called me and was loving the simple and clean styled look with some silhouettes. We started with back lighting ( dream lighting ) which is my personal favorite. I loved her pale pink dress paired with the girls neutral dresses. This lighting setup is so dreamy and perfect for that soft classic styled maternity session and then we moved on to some simple black and white silhouettes. I just love how everything turned out.

FAMILY PHOTO STYLING GUIDE | COLUMBUS OHIO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

FAMILY PHOTO STYLING GUIDE COLUMBUS OHIO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

family-photo-styling-guide-columbus-ohio-photographer.jpg

Ahhhhh, it’s that time again for family photos. I LOVE fall and nothing wraps up the year better than gorgeous family photos. This is the time where us moms can get in front of the camera and get in those photos. Planning outfits can be stressful because they have to be PERFECT.


I see you pinning those Pinterest closets and panicking over what in the WORLD to wear…not just for yourself, but the entire family. It can be super overwhelming, and although I’m not a pro at this, I have learned some tricks along the way to make this process much easier, while creating a cohesive “look” and getting rid of the anxiety along the way.

must-have-fall-photos.jpg

So you’ve booked your session with your photographer. YAY! Next step, figure out what to wear. Start asking yourself some questions…

Ask yourself…

ideas-for-family-photos.jpg

The pictures you see here were taken in a Pine Tree Forrest located in Granville, Ohio. I loved this spot so much.This location is perfect for all attire.


family-photo-styling-columbusohiofamilyphotographer.jpg

How do you want the photos to feel? Classic. Romantic. Boho. Flowy. Whimsical. Timeless. Casual. Urban. Traditional.

This session was taken in the fall so mamma chose earthy jewel tones so that it would feel very earthy AND jive right along with holiday cards. This is great if you want to hang them up in the house year round.

location-ideas-fall-pictures-columbusohio.jpg

Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. I always like to make my photos match the season, especially if outside because you want to make sure your not too hot or cold. This can also help you choose colors for your outfits. I always like to mesh the seasons in our overall color scheme.

Ohio tends to not always follow the rules of how the seasons work… you know like when it’s 70 and sunny in January and snowing in May.. You might need to but a few extra things for other seasons to blend in with your shoot Hahaha.


outfit-ideas-fall-family-pictures-columbusohio.jpg
family-photographer-columbus-ohio.jpg

It might sound hard at first, but you should plan everyone’s outfits around YOU. Yep, you you you. You want to be confident in these pictures, so choose and outfit that YOU feel good in. One that makes you take a second or third or even fourth glance at yourself in the mirror and say “mamma is in the house”. You never want to plan everyone else’s outfits and then settle for something to wear because it’s the only thing that will mes well or match with the others. PLUS, I really feel like it makes the process SO much easier when you have a starting point.

Let’s talk denim. I LOVE denim so much and I try to somehow tie it in with most sessions we do. I consider it to kinda be a neutral and it adds some “texture” to the overall look. Tip: S P R I N K L E it in. Don’t overdo it. Don’t have more than one denim piece in the photos. A button up is perfect for dad and bonus it will pair with any color of pants but if your doing fall photos you will want those earthy rich colors.

gorgeous-fall-family-photos-columbusohio.jpg

Bare Baby Photography provides all clients with a luxury high end styling service to make shopping easy and fun.

Start with your outfit and mesh the others around that. Put yourself first for once, Mamma and be confident and LOVE what you wear. You deserve that.

Don’t get too matchy-matchy. Add in various textures, colors that mesh well with one another, and don’t be afraid to pop in a splash of pattern.

Basic isn’t a bad thing. Spice up basic pieces with layers (cardigans, layered button-up, sweater, scarf)

Avoid super bold patterns. You want to look at the picture and notice your expressions, the vibe, and not that super bold printed floral tee and neon pants.

Some of my favorite places to shop are Old Navy, H&M, Zara and Target.

If all else fails with your kids…bring along a small non messy treat to bribe them.

Lay the outfits out on the floor and see how they mesh












Beautiful newborn girl | columbus ohio newborn photographer

Sarah called me to schedule photos for her sweet baby girl Lizzie. Ms Lizzie was so excited to meet her mommy and daddy that she decided to arrive 6 weeks early, but she was perfectly healthy and decided to make her arrival on Cinco de mayo ( and her mamma told me they had literally just had a taco themed baby shower ) haha.

Her mamma and I talked about if she would have red hair and oh did she. I have been a columbus ohio newborn photographer for 10 years and can still count on one head how many full red headed babies I have photographed. I don’t get many babies with a full head of red hair so I may have let out a huge squeal when she told me.

We dressed her up in beautiful neutral colors to start. I love her skin tones with the neutral colors and can we just talk about how long and beautiful her eyelashes are!! These have to be some of the gorgeous long lashes I have ever seen on a baby. We added a little pop of a teal color with my new fur from Cwtchicoo that I purchased over the quarantine and I paired with with a gorgeous aqua headband that I managed to snag from Poppy & Cy.

I just love how everything came together and can’t wait to design her gorgeous baby book.

I think one of my favorite images from her session is where she is wrapped up in the creme wrap and wearing the headband with the bow. I can’t wait for you to see her beautiful photos.

If you are looking for a professional columbus ohio newborn photographer I would love to plan a beautiful newborn photo session for your family, mom/dad and & siblings are always welcome to join in too. You can reach me by email at hello@barebabyphotography.com or by phone at 614-361-0861.

Newborn Baby Girl Photography Session In Columbus Ohio Styled With Neutral Colors

Newborn Photography Columbus, Oh

Meet beautiful Quinn! This gorgeous baby was in the studio recently for her newborn photography session. We started out her session on a brand new wooden heart shaped prop I just got in and oh how I squeeled when I saw how adorable she looked all snuggled up inside. Talk about baby fever! Her mommy requested one of my favorite setups of baby on the moon. I just love how cute she looks in this image. Next we squished her up on the backdrop blankets and played dress up with some neutral wraps and headbands for those adorable newborn poses that we all love so much. She didn’t make any fuss and slept the entire time. After that I took some macro photos of all her cute features. She looks gorgeous in everything.

Mommy and daddy are smitten with their new sweet girl. She was absolutely perfect during her photoshoot and gave me this HUGE smile. I photographed her on beautiful neutrals ( my personal favorite ) and then added a touch of gray. I absolutely LOVE gray for girls and I even photographed my sweet Evelyn’s newborn photos on a gray backdrop. Mommy wanted a photo with her hands above her head and I just love how it turned out. I love capturing images that are a true reflection of who they are and they usually show you a few things the love to do and to document that and have that captured forever is priceless for one day you will forget some of those little things you just loved so much.
