It is always easy to take great looking pictures when you have a great looking family. This shoot was so fun and had a little taste of everything. I got to take a few family portraits, a few one on one shots of 7 month old Aiden, and I also got to sneak some photos of their dog Lola - I can never resist photographing a cute dog! These photographs capture the genuine love between this family and it is easy to see that they will be happy for a long time.

This shoot was also really special for me because these are repeat clients of mine. It was fun for me to see how Aiden has grown since I photographed him as a little new born. His personality has really started to show and he is the sweetest little thing I have seen!

I hope you enjoy these photos! There is a lot of love inside of them! Please contact me today if you would like to set up a session.

Until next time...

If you love cute babies, then you will love this shoot! Ahmed and his mother, Monica, made my job easy today - what a beautiful family!

I was able to capture many great moments with this mother and son duo -candid shots, posed portraits, close ups, and did I mention baby feet! This precious little man had adorable personality and  LOVED sitting in the basket, watching bubbles, playing with his toy Giraffe, and wearing a fancy tie! I was sad to see our time together end because his hair, smile, and cooing melted my heart over and over again.

Feel free to contact me if you would like to set up a shoot. I can come to you!

Until Next Time....

Brutus the Baby Boston

To view full session click here: Brutus

By looking at this little bruiser you would not be able to tell that he is only a 10lb baby Boston Terrier. He has such a stoic and mature looking face. He has the look of a bulldog with the temperament of a playful little Boston. My dogs had fun playing with him all afternoon.

Puppies are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. They still have almost no coordination and it is always hilarious watching them trip over themselves as they chase after other dogs and throw their long legs out in front of them as they hit full stride. They can never stop on a dime either. Most times they come to a crashing halt and fall on their back but that only gives more opportunity for me to get cute puppy belly pictures as they roll around on their back.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of this fun spunky little Boston puppy.

Until next time...

Zoey's Baby Bump

This past weekend, I had a the privilege to photograph expecting parents, Zoey and Rob.  There is almost nothing I love more than a baby bump, and 8 1/2 month pregnant Zoey was beautiful and glowing. 

We had a great afternoon exploring a Brighton Nature Reserve, feeding birds and chipmunks, and relaxing in one of the area's meadows. And, of course, we ended the day with ice cream to cool off Mama and baby!  

 This duo is very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and foliage and they taught me a great deal about the bird species and plant life we saw during our session.  I can already picture them bringing their little girl here, and teaching her about nature as well - what a lucky baby! 

Congrats Zoey and Rob.. looking forward to meeting your bundle of  joy!

Until next time...

Molly, Dizzy, and Baby

While visiting my mother in Baltimore this past weekend, I took the opportunity to photograph some of my favorite, furry, childhood companions.

Molly is a beautiful German Sherpard that my mom adopted after I left for college (probably because she missed me so much).  And although my mom will tell anyone she meets just how irreplacble her only, loving daughter is ( haha mom - i know you are LOVING this).... Molly does a pretty darn good job of filling the void.  Molly is very playful and loves tennis balls - and not just one. She plays with two at a time and it is so funny watching her try and fit two tennis balls in her cheeks and carry them across the yard. My mom has her well trained though and she will bring her those two fluffy yellow balls at the snap of a finger.

Dizzy Mayand Baby were both high school additions. They are good old pals, and if I do say so myself - they are two fine looking cats. Both have such a sweet and innocent faces and I get really nostaligic just looking at them. I think about times with my family and taking care of these animals. I was lucky my mom put up with my wanting to save every animal on the planet.

I also love tryin to capture cats personailities. With dogs it is easy to get a silly moment, or a unique moment that describes the dogs personality. Cat's personalities are also much different on film. There is a quite grace about them and they hold back on you. Getting their TRUE personlitty on film is a fun and different challenge for me.

 I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. Until next time..

Baby Jack

Today I met one of the world's cutest newborns - Baby Jack.  This 5 day old was so tiny and adorable; I could not have asked for a more perfect subject.  He slept for almost the entire two hours I was there and allowed myself and his parents to reposition him repeatedly so we could get the perfect shot.  A few feeding and cuddle breaks with his mother kept him full and content.  During his few cranky moments, Jack's Dad - aka "The Baby Whisperer" stepped in and soothed him back to sleep with in moments.  It was a truly special thing to be a part of. 

 I love newborn photography shoots - watching new parents love on and hold their precious bundle of joy; watching new life sleep, and stretch, and coo. 

I feel honored to have met Baby Jack and spend some time with him and his family, capturing these beautiful moments. If this baby does not melt your heart, I don't know waht will!

Until next time....
