The Photography Smiths bio picture
  • Hello!

    The Photography Smiths consist of husband/wife photographers Mikey and Samantha Smith.

    We think moments shouldn’t just be captured, they should be handcrafted. And while we’re not great with words, we believe in the power of images to tell our story, and if you’d like, they can tell yours too.

    Thank you for taking the time to stop by our blog. Here you can find some of our favorite work and personal adventures along the way.

    Available for travel worldwide :).

The Adventures of Cohen {Update on Speech}

It’s amazing how in just a few weeks everything can change! Cohen has days were he is the shyest child ever but then he will be so outgoing. There are days when he will only give us one word answers and a lot of the time we have no clue what he just said.

Today, we went to hang out by the river to look for sharks teeth and build sand castles. He really surprised me with the conversations he held with strangers.

Stranger: ‘Hello’

Cohen: ‘Hi!’

Stranger: ‘ How are you?’

Cohen: ‘I’m good’

Stranger: ‘Are you having fun?’

Cohen: ‘Uh huh I dig – I’m really big like dad’

Stranger: ‘Oh yes you are big! Do you like the beach?’

Cohen: ‘Uh huh I LOVE it!’

Seriously, I had tears running down my face! Thank goodness for sunglasses! This is one of my proudest moments for him! There are days when I think that speech seems to be just a waste of time and money and we need to find another option.  But when I see he can do this its all so worth it!

Enjoy a few instagram photos of today!

xoxo,

Samantha

The Adventures of Cohen {The Park}

What is it about the park that makes even parents want to just be a kid again? Now that daylight savings has ended its wonderful being able to enjoy more time together in the evenings! Thank goodness the weather is starting to warm up some that we can now take family walks to the park or visit some of the others in the area. As soon as Mikey comes home this is always the first question Cohen will ask him ‘Park?!’

This is one of our favorite activities to do as a family. Not only because its free but also so much fun! We are not embarrassed about enjoying it with him! And I have to say that Mikey is one of the biggest kids I have ever seen! He and Cohen will do slide races going head first then backwards. Then ride on the swing together because Cohen loves to go high but not by himself.

We do a lot of really fun things as a family but these moments are the ones Cohen always talks about and enjoys the most:)

Have a great holiday weekend!!!

xoxo,

Samantha

The Ballerina {The Bridal Series}

Amy is such a talented dancer! I loved being able to document her grace and talent. Ballerinas to me are just sooo beautiful I love how flawless their movements are and the posture especially! Amy was such a good sport too because on this day it was so cold! We had some crazy wind that was frigid but she was still so graceful!

Enjoy a few of our favorites!!

xoxo,

Samantha

Kathleen {The Senior Model Experience}

I don’t think I’ve said it lately so I will say it again I LOVE senior sessions!!! Kathleen is a college senior at Saint Francis University.  Not only is she gorgeous and super smart but she’s an amazing swimmer!  We had such an awesome time at her session and since swimming is such a huge part of her life we made sure to include some pool time!

Enjoy a few of our favorites!!!

Samantha
