pearly whites | commercial photography annapolis

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . I took a break from chasing kiddos around with my camera, and spent some time on the beach with these lovely ladies! Hmmm – do they look familiar? These women are three of Annapolis’ Top Dentists, and I can tell you from my own experience that you won’t find better! The technology offered at Dr. Sidlowski’s practice, along with warm and genuine care for their patients, makes a visit with them anything but something to dread! ( I hate to say dread, but ok, ok, so how many of us really enjoy going to the dentist?) The staff at Chesapeake Family Dentistry do everything they can to make your time with them as pleasant and comfortable as possible. For you over-achievers that have perfect teeth, well, you’ve got nothing to fear, but for the rest of us that occasionally need a little something done, everything about their office is state-of-the-art. I could go on and on, but contact them and Melanie will give you the whole scoop!  I’d love to share some shots of the entire staff, but they’ll be appearing soon in a local publication, as well as on the practice’s soon-to-be-updated website!

I simply cannot…

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . live without this desk.

pottery barn desk

I might just have to re-do my office to coordinate with it.  Saw it as part of the new collection at Pottery Barn.  A quick mention that I WILL be doing some additional programs there..more info on that to come.  The first was a success and they’ve asked me to work with them again!

one more wake-up…

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . until we leave for our trip! And since it’s Friday, here are a few fun songs to get in the spirit. I have some client sneak peeks that will post while I’m gone (the joys of automation) so I promise, I’m not abandoning my loyal readers :-)

baby fresh | newborn photographer

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . wrapping up some loose ends (no pun intended with pic of baby swaddled below) since tomorrow is my LAST day in the office until next month! Wow – that’s weird to say. We depart for vacation this weekend and I cannot wait! I will be out of the office beginning Saturday, until Monday, August 3rd and will have very limited access to email and phone while we are gone. (It is after all, vacation and I hope to r.e.l.a.x. just a bit while we are gone!)

For you clients that are finalizing orders, etc – don’t delay because I want to get your portraits ordered before I leave – otherwise – it will add a week to the delivery time!

Client inquiries – I have just a couple of dates left for August!

And because I always like to post a pic – here’s one from a recent newborn session with more on the way…

we interrupt this programming…

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . to bring you some seriously exciting news! Ok, so at least exciting for me :-) I JUST received an email (as I have plowed away at my desk ALL day working on client stuff) that I am a FINALIST in the first ever Washingtonian magazine photo contest! I am so excited I almost fell out of my chair. If you have just a second (pretty please) head on over to their site (link below) and vote for yours truly – I submitted the image that I posted a while back, that I recently had printed in a HUGE canvas for our home! My very favorite picture of my 2 very favorite people!

real families

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . .  my favorite family portraits are the ones where families are just who they are.  Somewhere, in the back of my mind during most family sessions, I have the crazy notion idea that I might just get a shot of everyone looking at the camera and smiling in unison.  Yeah, right.  The good news is, I really prefer shots like these, which define family to me, and show what being a family is all about.  As for the “traditional” family shot, they happen, but 9 times out of 10 they take a back seat to pictures like this one.

Just thought I’d share as I’m finishing this fun family’s gallery!

christmas in july

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . at least that is what it will seem like when this client opens up all of her beautiful portraits! I hope she’ll send me photos of her canvasses when she gets them on the wall (hint :-)

Photographing a few fun new products that I will be posting soon and thought I’d snap a few of how pretty this client order looks before it goes out the door. (I am not responsible for this loveliness – Belle you are the bomb :-)

Also a quick mention that there are a few dates on the calendar left in August but they are going fast…

bella belly | annapolis photographer maternity

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . This little guy is soon going to be big brother to a baby sister. I have no doubt that she will have a fabulous Italian name, and if she looks anything like her momma, she’ll be stunning and have a wonderful spirit to boot. I know I’m not the only one looking at these images and thinking that I did NOT look like THAT when I was pregnant! Yowza. Can’t wait to photograph the little princess when she arrives and know that big brother is going to love love love her! Thanks for a fun afternoon and for making my job so easy with your inner and outer beauty!

T.G.I. Friday! |Annapolis photographer

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . Tunes of a different genre this week. This song is FREQUENTLY sung at our house, and since it is often stuck in my head I thought it should be in yours too :-)

More to post later when I’m back in the office…

more of the twins | annapolis photographer

washington dc photographer, annapolis photographer, baltimore photographer . . . I posted a pic of the twins together last week, but thought they were each due a couple of photos of their own. I can’t tell you how much fun it was to work with these aspiring young models, and at one point felt a bit like a jungle gym with a spunky 7 year old climbing on my back while I was shooting :-) Their smiles were infectious!
