Creekside Childhood Magic

Photography at Shaker Nature Center.

There’s something timeless about a child playing in a creek—the sound of splashing water, muddy toes, and laughter echoing through the trees.

This session with the little one in her pink rain boots was pure childhood joy. We found a quiet creek in Northeast Ohio, and she made it her playground. From puddle jumping to collecting stones, every moment was filled with curiosity and wonder. The soft light, earthy greens, and the gentle flow of water created the perfect backdrop for capturing the magic of this stage in her life.

These are the kinds of sessions I love—honest, simple, and filled with personality. No stiff posing. No pressure. Just your child, their spirit, and a little room to explore.

Looking to capture your own story this summer?

I’m currently booking 1-hour lifestyle sessions throughout Northeast Ohio. Whether you’re envisioning a creek, a field of wildflowers, or golden hour in the tall grass, I’ll work with you to find a location that feels right for your family.
