shiny happy people | annapolis children’s photographer
. . . there was much giggling, jumping on furniture and running amok during this session. You’d never know that “someone” wasn’t happy when we first started, and I’ll never tell who 
guess where? | washington dc photographer
. . . there is no prize for guessing the correct answer 
I have had a number of family portrait sessions in Washington, D.C., lately, and it’s always fun to see the places that are most special to my clients. You’d think I would know the City well, because it’s so close to home, but every time I go, I discover something new. This session ended with chocolate milkshakes at Eastern Market. YUM!
studio portrait sessions | annapolis photographer
. . . slowly catching up on the blog . . . lots to post so I’ll be less wordy than usual. Besides, with a pair like this, how many different ways can you say the word CUTE? Thanks to both of them (and their Mom) for coming to play with me
double trouble | twins photographer
. . . I photographed these girls when they were days old, and while it’s true that newborn twins aren’t easy to photograph, at least they couldn’t go anywhere I had a ball chasing them around the studio, and loved playing dress up with 2 little live dolls. That being said, telling them apart AFTER the session, when preparing their galleries was another story -
love
. . . I’ve said it before – sometimes I feel like I’m watching my own childhood happen all over again. Happy weekend.
a good reminder | child photographer
. . . taking some time tonight moving old files to storage, getting things in order for the new year, and I found a folder of images that I had forgotten about. I just kept clicking, next, next, next, and with each press of the keyboard, I could feel my eyes well up just a little bit more. This wee baby, this little bundle of chub sporting just a few teeth and a sparse head of hair, is sleeping in the room next door, in a big girl bed getting a good night’s sleep before school tomorrow. HOW did THAT happen? I remember the day I took these like it was yesterday…a month before her first birthday …she loved (and still does) to “swim” in our big tub and I was just getting ready to put her in it when the light was just so, that little duck clutched in her chunky hand meant I had to get my camera. I’ve decided to put a group of this series in a storyboard, and will share pics when I am finished, but in the meantime, I’m just reliving this moment. With all of the changes and growth that she’s gone through from baby to pre-schooler, one thing hasn’t changed – that SMILE – that smile that melts my heart and never fails to make me smile right along with her. She is truly the happiest human being I know and I can only wish she lives her lifetime that way.
I have said many times that I love my job, I love capturing THIS for my clients, I love stopping time and giving them the chance to relive moments just like the one that I am reliving now…and what a reminder when I feel this way myself of just how important it is. Happy week
ps dear blog, I really do miss you. If I keep saying that enough I hope it means we can get our relationship back on track.
helllloooooo 2010 | child photographer
. . . Just popping in for a second to say that I have not fallen off of the planet, just taking advantage of some much needed downtime with my family. Things were crazy through the holiday portrait season, leading right up to the 25th, and I just shut things down to enjoy the best part of the season with the ones that I love. As much as I wanted to wish all of my readers a happy holiday, happy new year, etc. there was too much schnuggly, movie watching, cookie baking, and spending days in our pajamas to be done – my computer took a backseat!
But, I’ll be back in full swing very soon! In the meantime, this image will give you an idea of what things look like at our house these days (from a recent session to photograph this fellas new baby sister)…
thank you mother nature | family photographer
. . . for finally giving us a break in the RAIN! This family traveled from Howard County to Annapolis for their session, and if I’m not mistaken, three times is a charm because that’s how many reschedules we had! The weather was PERFECT on the day that they were here, and I would like to thank downtown Annapolis for providing what is always the perfect backdrop for my portrait sessions
Happy Weekend!
more from the minis | child photographer maryland
. . . they may be mini sessions, but cuteness is clearly maximum still more to come from the marathon of short & sweets!
