I have gotten a few requests for maternity... and maternity has been one of the shoots that I have always done and hopefully will continue to do.

I was lucky enough to photograph Nicole here for her maternity and then to also photograph her newborn.

Here are a few shots. Maternity is normally done around the 7.5 to 8 months marks.. right before.. and I always try to include everything the mother to be will want... but then also to give my own flair.

I have so many new ideas and so many things that I want to try even with maternity... but... always needing a beautiful model to do it. I always take pride in making sure that the mother to be is happy though.. and as you can see... shes happy!

Maternity Photography

Maternity Photography is one of my main specialities. Its actually partially where I started and where I continue to grow .. ha .. grow.. maternity.. get it?  (yeah, i am that funny ) 

As with many of my maternity sessions, they are supposed to be more relaxed.. more special and usually a little more artistic. Above is one of my favorite photos, as it was a struggle to do as a photographer but, that shouldnt matter.. It to me, is a great photo as it does show the true beauty of a mother to be. 

I have been asked to recreate this photo in another maternity session. Its something special to hear people say they want one of my photos as their own.

Newborn Portrait Photography

Sometimes I feel that its amazing that I get a chance to work some people... and when it comes to newborn portrait photography, I absolutely love it!   From the smells.. to they way they look...to the love from their parents.. its amazing..

Here are a few portraits from a family who I have been luckily enough to drive over an hour each time to photograph their newborn sons. These parents "hired" me long before their first son was born, who is featured below, and luckily enough for me, the moment they found out they had their second on their way... I was hired once again.

I've grown personally in my photography and I have also grown photographically, but no matter what.. I find that part and those photos that are wanted from the people.. but then take to the next level and make something spectacular.

Newborn Portrait photography in Stow, Ohio is featured here. Think about it... photos are more than the paper that they are printed on... its an investment in your future.. an investment in your family.

The Love that is shared when a newborn comes into the world is great and I am honored to be a part of newborn photography for many parents.

Newborn Portrait Photography

I have been lucky enough to have been a part of not only maternity photography but those first few days when a newborn comes into the lives of their parents. 

Newborn Photography to me, isnt just all about propping them up with some blankets and taking pictures... my newborn photography does utilize props... blankets, personal belongings, but... mainly.. LOVE

Maternity Photography Lorain

They say that one picture is worth a thousand words..... 

There is something truly special about pregnancy... and Maternity Photography is one my specialties. Above this photo was created with some help of one of my longest known friends and she was superb and helped make it happen. Capturing each photo was a tiny challenge, to make sure all of the variables were right, but in the long run we knew what we would be doing is something great.

When completed, this maternity progression is something for her to cherish and hold onto forever.

Maternity Photography is more than just showing a photo of a belly, its becoming more and more.

DcKetchamPhotography is proud to have made this photo and proud to have been a part of other mother to be's lives.

Really Great Clients Portraits Lorain, Ohio

I have been really lucky to have some great clients... Recently I was able to photograph a family with a wonderful 3 year old.... it took a little to get her out of her shell, but once she got rolling in the session she was posing and smiling everywhere... Taking time during my portraits are what really separates me from the rest... especially the cookie cutters.... My sessions normally run at least an hour to more as, really you are more comfortable after a little bit.. Custom Lifestyle Portraits is what I call my line of work and these are custom... if you contact me through my email, I will first start by asking you questions about yourself and what you are looking for. Through working together your session will be even better. Trust me... Ive done the cookie cutters and its not for me, and it shouldnt be for you. You deserve better than that. In that afternoon, I was also able to work with a wonderful mother to be and her husband. We had taken plenty of time to talk about what she wanted, as well as what I was looking for out of her maternity session. We had such a blast and the images are awesome... I will post a few soon! I have really great clients.. and I hope that I can soon add more clients! Custom Lifestyle Portrait Photography in Lorain, Elyria, North Ridgeville, Amherst and all other surrounding areas.

What to Wear Portraits Lorain, Oh

What to Wear for Family Portraits Are you stressed out about what to wear for family portraits? If so, you aren't alone. One of the biggest challenges of any photo shoot is figuring out what to wear…. And if we have already discussed this, this is normally one of the first things I ask during our consultations. Family portraits are invaluable. They help preserve a moment in time and document the appearance of each family member. In addition, most family portraits are handed down from one generation to another, so it's vital that the photo depicts each member as accurately as possible. Given the value of family portraits, details such as the type of clothes worn by each subject should not be overlooked. The ideal family portrait should feature subjects that form a cohesive structure. You don't want to end up with a group shot that looks like a bunch of mismatched strangers got together for a photo shoot. To avoid taking a formal picture that you will be disappointed with, it's a good idea to consider tips on what to wear for family portraits and here are a few. TIPS FOR WHAT TO WEAR The goal of any group shot is to direct the viewer's attention to the subjects' faces. No one family member should stand out or distract from the other members of the clan. To accomplish this goal, it's important to focus on coordinating outfits. This doesn't mean everyone in the photo has to wear identical outfits. Rather, the idea is to make sure one family member doesn't show up wearing shorts and a tank top when the rest of the group is sporting khakis and long-sleeved button down shirts. Coordinate Color Color is critical when taking group shots. Avoid wearing bright colors. Instead, have family members wear clothing that features neutral tones, such as blues and browns. Darker colors, such as black or blue are okay sometimes, but not all of the time. Also, special attention comes to white and bright red… They are generally not recommended unless I am specifically doing something to coordinate a backdrop to complement them. Also, be careful not to mix light and dark tones together. Doing so creates visual confusion, as one subject appears to pop out of the photo while the other recedes. Simple Is Best With group shots, less is more. Clothing should be free of distractions or busy patterns, such as: Stripes, Polka dots, Plaids, Checks, Paisley, Graphic designs, Company logos .. actually its best to never have company logos… its not like they are paying you to wear their shirt? Minimal Jewelry Avoid wearing chunky or reflective jewelry that will distract from your face. Classic pieces such as pearl earrings or necklaces are fine. However, large gold pieces or massive gems that reflect light should be removed during the shoot. Also, if you own a large reflective watch or if you are prone to have a hair tie on your wrist, consider taking it off during your portrait session. These are just a few quick examples….. but… remember to be comfortable no matter what. We will work together to achieve the look that you want!

Boost Your Confidence.. Boost Your Self Esteem

Having a boudoir photography session is a great way to boost your self-confidence and add some spice to your life. Many women think that having sexy photographs taken is only an option if you are model-thin with a perfect body. However, getting professional images made with the right posing, lighting, and digital retouching should not only be reserved for celebrities.

DcKetcham Photography will be able to emphasize your best aspects and minimize any areas of your body that are not your favorite. All women can be captured beautifully no matter their age, shape, or size. Getting boudoir photographs done is a great way to feel sexy, celebrate your body, and see yourself in a whole new light.

The motivation behind boudoir photography is to make every woman feel wonderful about herself. Each woman has true beauty inside of her, and it is the photographer’s job to bring it out. Dressing up in cute lingerie outfits and having attention lavished on you can be an excellent way to get in touch with your sexy side.

Loosening up and being in front of the camera, along with viewing the final images will allow you to see yourself in a new way. Looking as stunning as a model will be a huge boost to your self-esteem and after your session you will leave the studio feeling gorgeous and empowered. It is such a fun and liberating experience!

Give yourself the gift of indulgence, starting from professional hair styling and make-up to the lasting memories of fabulous boudoir photos. Many women choose to have boudoir photographs taken just for themselves, or as a surprise for their boyfriends or husbands — it is a great way to ensure that your man remembers you at your sexiest.

Book a boudoir photo session and you too can experience a boost in your own self-confidence.
