A Growing Family – The Strong Family at Home in Chagrin Falls


I've said it before, and I’ll say it again: there’s something incredibly special about getting that call from returning clients. It’s a reminder that the moments I’ve captured for them before mattered—and now, they’re ready to capture even more.


That’s exactly what the Strong family did. With the sweetest new addition to their crew, their family of three has grown to a beautiful family of four. I had the absolute joy of photographing them once again, this time inside their cozy Chagrin Falls home, where real life unfolds—quiet moments, laughter, snuggles, and all the in-between.


These at-home sessions are some of my favorites because they tell your story right where it’s happening—no frills, just love. The Strong family's warmth and connection shine through in every image, and it was an honor to witness and document this new chapter in their lives.


Scroll through to see a glimpse into a day in the life of this now family of four.
