Schedule update

Just a quick note to say that May is completely (over) booked and I only have 2 spots left for June; HOWEVER, this does not apply to newborn sessions if they are done within the first 2 weeks of life. I always make time for newborns since they are so time sensitive and it is critical to get them in before 2 weeks for those curled up sleepy shots that are so gorgeous.

Here's some photos of my muse from last weekend. A tea party fit for a princess...a sassy princess!

10 Days New

I had to postpone this session twice because this little guy wanted to stay with his mommy for as long as he could! But boy was he worth the wait. Just absolutely a perfect baby.

Thanks so much H & D for inviting me to photograph your "sweet pea"! Here are just a few of my favorites from our session!



His expression kills me this one!


A smile for mom and dad!

Absolutely amazing eyes and I could've stared at them forever.

Beautiful Family...

... both inside and out. I've had the pleasure of knowing these two lovely people for a very long time. I was thrilled to be able to photograph their family mainly because I know how much they love each other and that makes my job so much easier. Dad is getting ready to deploy to Iraq for the second time for a whole year. Being with them makes me really appreciate how much soldiers sacrifice because this one sure does love his family.

The train car says Walkersville which is where they both grew up and met of course. I love the symbolism here with the train car heading towards Walkersville.

V.I.F. = Very Important Family

This beautiful mom booked a session with me all the way from New Jersey so they definitely get the V.I.F. status. Okay, so they didn't really come from New Jersey to have photographs taken with me, but since they were in town visiting family for the Easter holiday, she wanted to do something extra special for her in-laws with a large family portrait. The rain on Saturday put a damper on things (ahem... literally...) but when families are happy and enjoying their time together, it doesn't matter if it's raining.

I went back again today to get some smaller family shots. This little girl wow'd me with her vocabularly and smarts and as far as babies go (you photographers know what I'm talking about here) this little guy could steal any heart with his big blue eyes and chubbiness!

This photo is my favorite of the day and the next one is a close second.. Funny how I usually go for the mom and child photographs. There is just something about how a mom adores her child.

And here's all of the wonderful S family! I realize I might be in the minority by picking this one as my favorite. Most people like the everyone straight facing the camera shots but this one says "real family" to me!

Beautiful

Is the word that comes to mind when I look at this photo. Just wanted to share.

Happy hump day!

Daddy's Girl

It's hard trying to convince my husband to let me take some photos of him but I pulled out all the stops yesterday when I told him that he should do it for Madeline. Well, he'll do ANYTHING for her and so here we have it.... the results of my quickest session ever, all 8 minutes of it.

The truth is, I know she'll cherish these forever when we're long gone and that's why it's so important to me to take photos.

Coming Soon

Anyone who knows this mom-to-be can vouch for me when I say that her laughter and smile are contagious. It was a lot fun to be around these parents-to-be today!

It's never really easy for me to pick a favorite out of a "series" of photos in the same setting and this time, it was especially hard. I really like this serious side of her but I adore the last two as well ( and the crazy wind died down just in time for these beautiful photographs!).

And how great is he? Some husbands just "get it" and others don't (like....ahemm...mine! ha ha!)
