Over the weekend, my family and I had the pleasure of doing a photography shoot with Lindsey Smith from Smith Digital Photography.
And when I say we had the pleasure, I’m not being sarcastic – which is miraculous, really, because typically photo sessions drive me to drink. You should have seen the times Jenny and I took our tiny babies – Kate and Joshua – to Target to have their pictures taken together. Oh, if we’d only had this blog then, posts about those experiences would have definitely qualified for the “Greatest Hits” page.
But I digress!
Sunday’s shoot was a lot of fun. We met Lindsey at Eden Park in Cincinnati, which was the perfect backdrop. Lindsey is the mom of two little boys, and she was fantastic with my kids. Kate couldn’t wait to get in front of the camera lens, but Sam had fallen asleep in the car on the way there and wasn’t in the best picture-taking mood. Lindsey was able to get him smiling and joking anyway, and got some great shots.
I could continue to wax poetic about our photo shoot, but instead I think I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
I love them! It was hard to pick my favorites from Lindsey’s online proofing gallery (a very convenient feature in and of itself).
Lindsey very generously offered to photograph my family so I could write about my experience, and she would also like to extend that offer to one of our readers. We’re giving away a full portrait session for one lucky reader!
The session includes:
— A 60-90 minute session on location in the Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky area.
— 45-60 final re-touched proofs in an online proofing gallery.
— Client’s choice of 25 high resolution digital files with printing rights.
— $50 print credit.

I don’t want this to count as an entry, but I just wanted to drop a comment to anyone reading that Lindsey is awesome. She took some of my wedding as she was just starting her business and they were phenomenal and I went along with my BFF to get her family pics done (basically, I was a purse holder) and the professionalism and fun (balanced and equal) that Lindsey brings is unparalleled and her pictures are always absolutely AH-MAZING!

We haven’t had professional pics taken since my 8yo was 18 months! needless to say my 3yo has never been professionally photographed! terrible!
The photos are gorgeous!
I liked them on FB. We’d definitely drive to Cinci for a photo shoot if we won! : )
I liked the FB page. LOVE these pictures, especially since she didn’t do anything lame like make you all wear denim shirts (happened to the family a few years ago).

I sooo desperately need a new family photo. My daughter is almost 5 and we haven’t had her pictures done since just before her third birthday. Plus, with another one on the way, I want one last photo of “the three amigos”
