Holiday Family Sessions - Maryland Photographer

If you didn't have time to get your family holiday session in before the end of 2016....there is still time!  Now that we have snow on the ground here in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area, there are some great locations to get your family photos taken.

I met this amazing and adorable family and we went out on a chilly morning to capture these few portraits off of the Potomac River in Washington, DC.  The kiddos as you can see are absolutely to cute for words and were real troopers in the cold weather.  They came ready to have the camera capture some fun moments and awesome hugs between brother and sister.

Awesome family alert!   A four and two year old keep you on your toes when trying to capture the moments.  One was ready to go and the other was not really happy about the camera situation.  Between the UGGs and the impromptu ballet instruction, all to get a shot, the girls were quite entertaining.  We went to the Buddy Attick park to catch the leaves changing colors in the trees and walk through the grass to capture these images.  Mom and Dad were delightful and awaiting the arrival of a little baby boy in January!  Can't wait to meet him!

Yards Park Family Session- Maryland Photographer

When I say I LOVE this family...I mean it!  I have known them for quite some time and saw the brother and sister grow up and now they are welcoming another little bundle of joy.  Again this was another fun filled session outside at the Yards Park in Washington, DC and the kids had a blast.  We finished the session with a quick lunch afterwards.  Please, Like Share and Follow!

Morgan Family - Maryland Photographer

Another awesome family sat in front of my camera and allowed me to capture a brief moment of their time.  Loving, sweet and adorable explain them perfectly.  We had a great time in DC capturing these few images even though it was unbearably hot.  The boys were adorable and couldn't be any cute.

Patriotic Family Session - Maryland Photographer

Happy 4th everyone!  I hope that everyone is having a safe and family oriented holiday!  I recently had the chance to photograph the Boyd family and they were so fun.  We went to a local park and got these great family portraits for them since they hadn't had any in the past three years.  Always a great thing to be able to preserve memories for families and be able to hang out for the afternoon with great kids!

Anderson Addition

New family additions are a joy and when I get to be apart and photograph the family it is extra special for me!  The Anderson's came to the studio and had ideas of what they wanted in their photos and Latoya had the most gorgeous gowns.  We added a bit with the tutu for the black and white and she was very pleased with her images.  I am eager to meet the new addition who should be arriving soon.

The Shade Family - Maryland Photographer

While I was in Alabama a great friend and old boss of mine needed updated photos to document her family and there time in the south.  So while there we had this mini session at a nearby park and got these great shots.  I even got my little Calvin Klein model for the day to give me some interesting faces while we were out.  It was so good to see them and hang out for the few moments we had.

Miss Zoe's One Year Session - Maryland Photographer

Photographing a first year session can be hit or miss depending on the amount of sleep.  This was the case for Miss Zoe as she was not having a good day but we did get a few images for her parents to have and share with family and friends.  I am appreciative that her parents braved the cold weather to achieve this short session and I look forward to working with them again.

Mills Maternity Session - Maryland Photographer

Excited that this former photography classmate of mine trusted me to take her maternity and family portraits for her third and final child...so she says! LOL!  It was a pleasure having the Mills family in the studio for the afternoon and getting to know her hubby and other two children who are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their little brother next month!  Congrats Monae!

Medieros Family Session - Maryland Photographer

Family sessions are so much fun...especially when they are a combo to announce the new arrival to the family.  This session was so fun and carefree on a chilly afternoon.  The girls were glad to walk in the leaves and sit and look at the water while mom and dad took some photos with each  other.  I can't wait to meet the new little one and capture his first moments.

Twins Malia & Joseph - Maryland Photographer

Babies are amazing and when you get to photograph two of them it is a wonderful thing!  I met these two little ones at 11 days old and they were just gorgeous.  Malia with her calm demeanor and Joseph, who is the feisty one already, brought such a joy.  Once both were asleep, because one would be awake and the other would snuggle, we were able to snap a couple of portraits.

I have learned so much through newborn photography and the number one thing is PATIENCE!!  I had a totally different vision for this session but you have to always be flexible when it comes to little ones.  I can't wait to see them grow and develop their personalities to see if they stay calm and feisty! :-)
