well spring has sprung, or I sure hope it has anyway! I am thrilled to be shooting outdoors again, and was lucky enough to spend a little time with this beautiful senior on a recent warm & sunny afternoon in downtown Annapolis! More info on what we’ve been up to behind the scenes, and a little mindless chatter to come, but in the meantime, I’ll share this lovely young woman with you-is it just me or does she look like a young Bonnie Raitt?
. . . so much to blog but just have a second and wanted to share these beautiful sisters with you 
They are timeless.
. . . how much fun was it to photograph this high school senior? She’s beautiful inside and out and I LOVED her great sense of style! Senior portraits are something that I really enjoy, and are a fun change from chasing toddlers!

. . . yup. Me again. You probably don’t actually believe it, but another blog post from me with less than a month lapsing between. As I’ve written the past few posts, I’m remembering how much I really enjoyed my blog and sharing my beautiful clients and their families with you. Looking out my office window at a very chilly scene, this beach session from last summer came to mind, and has helped thaw things if only in my imagination. These days will surely return, but just as certain is that these sweet children will be a year older. I am so glad that I had the chance to photograph them at these ages. And while they may grow up on the outside, I know they will always be their momma’s babies in her heart.
. . . for those of you reading who have children, have you ever been guilty of not correcting your little person’s grammar because doing so would make them a little more grown up then you are willing for them to be? I’ll plead the fifth, but go ahead and make the assumption that I’m guilty as charged. There are just a few of these little words that are left in my girl’s vocabulary, and because I know she’s not going to end up in third grade speaking poor English, I figure, what’s the big deal, right? Ok, speaking of good grammar, how about that sentence? Nice.
Up until recently, when she refers to that which belongs to her (or she believes it does or should belong to her) she refers to said object as “mines.” And why shouldn’t she? Ours, hers, his, etc. all end in “s” so why shouldn’t “mine?” I dread the day I have to explain their, there and they’re, but fortunately, that’s a ways off. Until then, here are “mines,” just enjoying the weekend.
. . . there is something about this image of these boys that’s incredibly timeless to me. I’m not sure if it’s the setting, their little haircuts, or the simple fact that it’s a shot of two brothers who clearly share a bond, that isn’t defined by any sort of timeline or decade. I can only imagine how special this portrait will be to both of them decades from now. I’m not sure if I prefer it more in color, or black and white, so I decided to show you both As an only child, I don’t really “know” this “sibling thing” but can already see the love that my big girl has for her baby sister, and hope to someday have a shot of my two, that rivals this one. It’s one of my favorites images from the fall…and a great example of why “the perfect shot” doesn’t always mean the subject has to be looking at the camera!
. . . what a wardrobe! Love this little guy (and his Mom & Dad too) and when I saw his outfit for this session I was over the moon, especially in this location! I photographed him earlier in the year and knew then that he had a wardrobe to rival the most fashionable of the under-2 set. Happy weekend!
