{Oh Baby! … Baby “O”} Harford County, Maryland Newborn Portrait Photographer

Posted on July 30, 2009

So yes, I have been busy!

I woke up bright and early this morning to meet up with one of the nicest couples (friends of family), and photograph one of the greatest moments in their lives….their first baby!

This little guy was pretty much up for whatever, so I totally took advantage! I love him in that blue elf hat…does it get any cuter?

I know his mom might not be a big fan that I am showing the world this picture of her with her son. No one feels super glamorous a week after giving birth (probably the opposite), but I think she looks beautiful with him. What amazes me is that he was in her belly a week ago, and now–here they are together. You are going to be a great mom–you already are!

Congratulations to you both! Having a baby changes everything, but it is by far the greatest success of your life.

And just for good measure–Ravens Training Camp opens up Friday!
Here’s to a great season!!
“O” is already a fan….

I had the pleasure of photographing the cutest and sweetest family last night. I have to admit, I do get nervous when my subjects are older than, say, 8, …and when there are more than 4 of them in a picture! It’s just a tad out of my comfort zone. However, these guys were a blast, so laid back, and made my job so easy!

The oldest boys just got a new little cousin, and they were so adorable with him. The boys both wanted to hold him and feed him. It was very endearing. And that 3 month old little cousin, baby “A,” was just the cutest thing ever! Just look at his cheeks and his belly!! I told mom she HAS to let me get my hands on him for his own pics in about 3 more months.

My favorite shot of the evening had to be the one with the boys and their grandparents. What a moment frozen in time!

Thanks for a wonderful night all of you! Enjoy sneaking a peek!

{Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl}

My oldest is 3 today. Typing that even feels surreal. Where did those 3 years go?

Here she is blowing out her birthday candles….

Happy Birthday my gorgeous girl.
Mom, Dad, and your brother love you so much.
You are beautiful and amazing in many ways…

Here’s to you!

and one of little bro just for fun–with his latest and greatest new haircut!

{Five and Fabulous!} Baltimore County, Maryland Portrait Photographer

Posted on July 27, 2009

Yes, five is a fabulous age!

I am so used to photographing toddlers these days, it was exciting to finally have a “big girl” on my hands. It took a little while for her to warm up (kids are definitely more “aware” that I am a stranger at this age), but it was fun seeing all of her different sides and capturing her personality.

Isn’t she just gorgeous? She had beautiful, long, golden hair, and a stunning smile.

Like most kids, once we got “into” it, she started to like the attention, and the camera….but the camera surely liked her from the beginning. Can’t you tell?

It was great meeting you guys today….enjoy!

Grammy’s “pose!”

Proof the camera liked her at once–this is my second or third shot!

{My Baby’s First Haircut} Harford County, Maryland Event Photographer

Posted on July 26, 2009

Okay so if you know me, you know my daughter’s hair. Heck, even if you don’t **know** me, you know her hair from this blog. She is turning 3 on Tuesday, and she has had ONE, yes ONE haircut in her life! (and honestly, it’s so curly, you couldn’t even tell).

Well, I was expecting this, but with boys…it’s totally different. You have to cut it. I mean, you don’t want to (or at least I didn’t), but you kind of have to. I was dragging my heels with this, telling myself my little guy had the “summer surfer style,” but finally my husband basically forced “the big haircut” on me this past weekend.

I am so glad he did! When I share some of darling daughter’s birthday pics, my son looks so grown up and handsome!

Anyway, I dragged my camera to the salon, and I am so glad that I did. I love these pictures, and they really captured the experience perfectly.

It made me think that other mom’s out there that may want these special moments captured too–so if you need me for an “event” such as this–give me a holler!

Enjoy…..
