Holiday Mini Sessions- Little Miss O.

admin — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 00:30:14 +0000

I first photographed little O when she was just a tiny tot. I cannot believe she is now so grown up and already a kindergartner who loves Hannah Montana and likes to dance like a fairy! She is still precious as ever and once she warmed up to the camera her spunky personality shined bright. Dad- sorry you weren’t feeling well for this shoot and had to miss it, but we had fun just focusing on the little lady!

Isn't little O just beautiful? What a poignant gaze!

Holiday Mini Sessions- The M Family

This family was so much fun to photograph. I just loved the sibling affection so evident in every shot. I can’t wait for my boys to get to this stage where they are best buds. This brother and sister duo are so ridiculously cute! Great job Mom and Dad on creating such a strong family bond!

I am going to reiterate what I wrote in my previous post: Please please please, this holiday season, try to DO something in PRINT with your photos. Make them treasures your family looks at everyday, and will be displayed for future generations to enjoy. This session came out too good to just be on a Christmas card that unfortunately will get tossed after a few weeks.

Holiday Mini Sessions- The H Family.

It’s that time of year again! I can hardly believe it’s already time for Holiday sessions! After being pregnant all last winter, and having baby #2 this summer, I have been on a bit of a break from photography, but couldn’t resist the occasion to offer mini sessions again this year. It felt so good to get back into artistic work and create beautiful portraits for some of my favorite families! In reflecting after having my own family portraits taken a few weeks ago, I believe more and more in the importance of DOING something concrete with our family photos, rather than just collecting digital files on my hard drive. I personally plan on creating a wall display with an assortment of enlarged prints, framed in the very unique Organic Bloom anthropology-inspired hand painted frames.These frames are only available for purchase from local photographers, and I am so excited to introduce them to clients. This is the perfect time of year to make something beautiful with your images, so I encourage everyone to make a commitment to display and share your photos IN PRINT. Find novelty in the classic!!!

The H Family was my first shoot of the day, and they looked so fabulous. Mama H is particularly gifted in coordinating the most stylish outfits! Loved all the detailing and the prepster look I have so many favorites from this shoot… hard to choose just a few for the blog, but here we go!

This mama and tot are just too cute!

Gotta take time for a kiss

One of my absolute favorite shots- big man on campus!

Seriously, this child is so gorgeous...

Check out those eyes!!

I just love love love his outfit

Baby brother is just as gorgeous as big bro!

I was so excited to get the call that Baby K was here! I love when I get to shoot a newborn when they are this fresh and moldable still! She is just perfect in every way. Congrats K and D on creating such a love!

My beautiful niece: senior portraits

If it seems like I have been totally missing from photography the past few months, it’s because I have! Since I have been expecting our second baby, I just haven’t had the energy to keep up and have enjoyed a break. But I really do miss regular shoots, and was thrilled to be able to shoot my niece Megan’s senior portraits last weekend when my whole family was in town from Upstate NY. I took her older sister’s pictures two summers back when I was pregnant with John Patrick. This time I was 9 months pregnant and we all managed to trek around Brookside gardens in the 100+ degree heat! She looks gorgeous even with all that humidity!

Mommies’ Network Auction Winner!

The B family was the winner of this summer’s auction through the Mommies’ Online Network. They made the trek from Baltimore for our shoot! Such an adorable family and very full of affection. I love how big brother B so obviously loved his little sis! Thanks so much, B Family for our fun shoot last weekend! You have such a great family!

My little man

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 19:21:48 +0000

I just had to post a few pictures of my little man from a few weekends ago. He really does not enjoy having his picture taken, which is a total disappointment for me and forces me to get creative. This is often the case with toddlers, and makes location portraiture all the more perfect medium. Let him be him, playing around, without posing, and hope to get some candid shots that really reflect who he is at this age. I really loved these from Halloween in the leaves.

Fall Mini Sessions Sneak Peak- The D Family

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:17:36 +0000

If you follow my blog, you will know that I am lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family frequently. Little F was so much fun last weekend, and really got into the portraits. She looked adorable as always, and made me laugh when instead of saying “cheese” to get her to smile, we just had to say “john patrick”, or “barcelona” or “italia”. She is geting so big! I just adore her red shoes. Maybe F will let me borrow them some day

Turning into a little lady...

Seriously, I love these shoes!

Every kid was fascinated with the leaves!

Love this silly laugh!

Mini Sessions Sneak Peak- The R Family!

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:57:34 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing S and P’s wedding a few years back on a beautiful winter day. It was SO fun to see them again last weekend with their adorable toddler boy, T. This little guy is just handsome and classy as ever with his pinstriped suit! HIs eyes are so brilliant too! Being a typical toddler boy, smiling and paying attention to the camera were on the bottom of his to-do list, but I think we still captured some beautiful images of this age. Boy, sticks, cars, leaves. Need I say more?

He was not letting go of that lollipop!

I just loved his dress shoes and suit!!

Aren't T's eyes amazing?!!

Boys and leaves= happiness

I love little detail shots once in a while!

One more on the stairs.. I just loved the angle and profile shot!

Fall Mini Sessions- The M Family

admin — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 17:41:09 +0000

I am so excited to present the first sneak preview of the Fall Holiday Mini Sessions we did yesterday at Glenview Mansion in Rockville, MD. The grounds are just perfect, and the lighting was even more cooperative yesterday. Cloudy sky + sun = perfection! Little R is one of John Patrick’s good friends, and it was so fun to take his portraits yesterday. He was full of personality and was so great at having a good time and smiling for me! I wish his buddy John Patrick would look at the camera like this! R has such a great smile, and mom and dad looked pretty fabulous themselves!

Waiting on a little Miss. Murphy to join the clan!

Isn't mom just stunning?
