A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing the ~B~ family again. Last year we had a fun session @ Fort Smallwood here in Pasadena. I love when clients have their own ideas of what they want for their session. I am up for pretty much anything! I brought my gear to Reddemeade Farms in Silver Spring Maryland - where Jeff (Dad) maintains the wonderful location. It was so picturesque and perfect for their family charm/character. Here are a few favorites of mine from the session.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and John for their wedding. Last year I also did their engagement session @ Sandy Pointe with Ryan from RaRaPhoto and he was also my assistant (2nd) for their wedding. Their wedding ceremony (full catholic mass) was held at St. Clement & the reception was at the gorgeous Grand Lodge in Cockeysville, MD.
Here is a video of some of my faves taken at their beautiful wedding.
Thank you for allowing me to capture your day! Congrats!
Late last year I had the opportunity to visit my clients home to see what she had done with her portraits purchased from me when Belle was a newborn. Belle was such a trooper showing me her beautifully decorated room! Here are the images taken to showcase my work in her room fit for a princess!
For any of my past clients who have creatively displayed my work in their home - contact me to setup a time for me to come over and do a complimentary mini shoot showcasing the work. You can include your family!
Thank you Belle for allowing me to capture your beautiful room!
Some of you may remember cute Dominic from his newborn session last year. Well, I had this idea for a studio session that I wanted to try out and Dominic was just the perfect model for my vision. Here are a few images in video and below of our rub a dub ducky and beach session! (Video Below)
You may remember the engagement session with the lovely couple Linda & Bill and their oh so cute dogs I did late last year. I am finally getting around to posting my favorite wedding images taken on their special day in January. Linda & Bill's wedding was my first of the year - and what a way to kick the season off! They had their ceremony in the Baltimore Bascilica
Long time no blog. I have been swamped here at the office! Who ever said that February and March were slow for photographers? Here is one of my latest sessions done in Washington DC. Candice and John met with me at the Lincoln Memorial for their awesome Engagement session. We had so much fun! This is the first time I have actually been there. I have lived in Maryland for over 8 years and even worked in DC for a few years and never ventured in that direction. Wow - it is beautiful! I can't wait to visit more of DC this summer. Here is the video (embedded below) of Candice and John's Engagement session.
And here are a few of my fave images from the session as well.
Congratulations Candice & John on your engagement - I am so lucky to have been chosen to photography your love story!
A few months ago - I did a dual maternity session with Tiffani and Tara. I had the honor of photographing Tiffani's newborn son ~ Hudson~ . I look forward to capturing his first year.
Alyssa came back to Maryland! She was on a short tour in Seattle with her grandparents while her Mom & Dad were protecting and serving our US of A in Iraq. This family is wonderful! We have history from when Alyssa was in her mommies belly! Creating portraits for Johnny and Jennifer is always a treat. We started out in the studio to do some high key and low key portraits - then moved as quickly as we could outdoors for some quick portraits.
This week my gorgeous friend (Sandra) visited with me to do a very sexy mini tattoo session. We had lots of fun getting creative shots of her tattoo. The main goal of this session was to get a large print for her husband's "Man Room". What an awesome Valentines gift for any hubby. Here are a select few from our session!
