Sooooo....Mother Nature has thrown us a bit of a curve ball and we are now narrowing down our dates for Cherry Blossom Spring Sessions. Due to a prolonged cold winter we are thinking Cherry Blossoms will be peaking in our area around April 27th.

I have had the most beautiful babies and parents to photograph in the last few weeks!! The stepmom of this Mommy was one of my first photo lesson client years ago and I was so excited to hear from her when her grandson was born to do his newborn session <3
This little boy and his family were the sweetest to work with and I think you can tell by the glow on "C"'s Mom's face just how excited and overjoyed she is, she is already an incredible Mom!! The image of Dad with "C" on the bed just might be one of my favorites, it was completely candid and I got it while I was getting ready to do photos in another room, I feel the love and emotion in that image speaks volumes!
It was such a pleasure and I look forward to seeing this family again as "C" grows!!
Oh man, I love my job. I love being a baby photographer. What is better than a sweet newborn baby to photograph? TWO sweet newborn babies to photograph! I love getting to snuggle new little souls all the time, especially when it is two new souls at once! Twins are so special. I love photographing them. I love how each baby is such a blessing in this world, I love how they each have their own unique personality (even at only a few days old), I love everything! Its fun to watch how they already interact with each other and the difference in their personalities (or one who is so happy to sleep while the other is more reluctant ;) ).
This session was so much fun, nestled against beautiful woods in Great Falls Virginia the "G" family has the most beautiful home with gorgeous natural light! Mom and Dad were just glowing while cuddling their babies, the overwhelming love for these two little girls was abundantly clear throughout their whole session. The girls nursery is absolutely beautiful and we just had to get a few shots of Mom in her newly finished formal living room with the girls, I have a feeling they will spend a lot of time cuddling in that space!
It was a pleasure, and thank you Ashley for choosing me to photograph this special time! I hope that these photos will act as a great reminder of just how little they were :)

It was such a joy seeing this family again after almost 3 years!! Three years ago this August I met this amazing family for both their maternity session and a few weeks later their older daughters newborn session, it was so fun to catch up and see how big sister is adapting to having her little sister in the picture. Last weekend my husband and I drove out to Kent Island to document their family for the morning in our last newborn session before we welcome our own new addition this coming week (hopefully!!) I'll be taking maternity leave with a few exceptions until mid-July.
Here is an overview of their session, can't wait to get the rest finished!!

The day of the wedding the Bride and Groom got ready at the City Center in Washington DC in a beautiful and modern style apartment, it had the most beautiful lighting due to the big open windows! It was absolutely perfect for some getting ready shots of Dana as well as photographing her beautiful dress, shoes and ring!! While Dana was hidden away getting her hair done we had some time to capture some portraits of Andrew before we headed up to the amazing garden style roof for our first look! Isn't Dana absolutely Stunning?!
The beautiful and intimate ceremony and reception took place just up the Potomac River at Old Angler's Inn, which a beautifully nestled treasure on MacArthur Blvd in Potomac Maryland. The lush greenery at the venue and beautiful C&O Canal provided the most amazing spot for some Bride and Groom portraits, the lighting that evening couldn't have been any better! The love and connection between these two is really something special, and it was so fun working with them as we braved a bit of heat to get some great shots <3
Not only are these two people perfect together but they also know how to throw a great party, even being introduced by a Mariachi band!!
This is just a sneak of D&A's special day, but I feel that these images show a story in themselves, one of LOVE, LAUGHTER and FRIENDSHIP, which are key elements in any marriage. The love in these images seems so incredibly evident to me, hope you can feel the love as well <3
Wishing the happiest of birthday's to this adorable little boy! Can't believe it's already been a year since I was able to document your birth as well as your newborn photos :)
I have done a lot of sessions in the last year, more than I can count (or my hard drives can handle), but I can honestly say that Conner's birth, and the emotion that day was filled with might be one of my absolute favorite things I have done so far. There is a certain "rawness" and emotion in birth photography that can't be replicated or staged. I was so honored to be welcomed into this family and capture the birth of this little boy as well his older sister Emily meeting him for the first time the next day :)
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I couldn't get enough of their bright blue eyes and super blonde hair, and the expressions that they gave me were priceless!
This might be one of my all time favorite Daddy-Daughter photos!! <3 <3
Working with siblings is so much fun, especially when you can see the different personalities in each one!
We had such a perfectly beautiful day for his cake smash, the rain in the DMV finally let up so that we could get the beautiful look of an outdoor session :)
I'm so in love with this little guy! He was totally hamming it up as he decided to climb on our little rocking chair instead of sitting, he was also totally twinning in outfits and hats with his dad (check back when the full gallery blog is posted to see!), to being SO excited by his cake and the sugar rush that followed :)
Here is just a sneak from his session today, I could resist! More to come after the gallery is completed :)
They’ve been together for years and years. They got engaged a year and a half ago around Thanksgiving and one thing after another kept getting in the way. Then it hit them, why wait? Why wait when we can just head to the courthouse and have our closest friends come with us. So thats exactly what they did. They had a beautiful Howard County Courthouse Wedding ceremony followed by a dinner at Alexandra's in Turf Valley. The only stipulation to this small wedding was that it was captured professionally and thats when Ricardo called me! Although it was a bit rainy in the morning they were blessed with a partly cloudy wedding day – which is perfect for stunning photos! They even had the most beautiful bubble exit from the ceremony! Stay turned for a full post after all the images are processed :)
We have just gotten in tons of new wraps and props and items and are looking for a baby GIRL for our newborn model call smile emoticon If you are expecting or know someone who is in the next few weeks or maybe just has a baby (within the last 5 days), we'd love to speak with them (the parents not the baby smile emoticon )
The session will take place in my studio and be 1-3 hours in length. All newborn clothing and props will be provided.
To be eligible parent/baby must:
Be between 4-14days old
Sign a model release, allowing images to be used
Be available for a weekday morning portrait session.
In return, you will receive a complimentary session & 3 high resolution digital images with print release.
There is no obligation to purchase, however additional products and digital images are available for purchase.
We understand that any baby brings a big change to a family ! We know you will have questions about how the session will go and how the images of the baby and your family will be used. Here are a few questions that we thought parents may have:
Q: How old does the newborn need to be for the session
A: If the baby was born at full term we will schedule the session within the first 4-14 days of life, please contact us directly if the babies were born early
Q: Where will the session be held? Can it be held in our home?
A: For this model call the session will be held in our new studio in Ellicott City. If you'd like to book a session in your home we'd love to talk to you about our in-home sessions and packages, at the moment we are not conducting model calls in-home.
Q: Can I give you examples of things I've seen on Pinterest that I'd like to have done, or can I bring props and things?
A: For this model call we will by styling the session with poses, blankets, props, wraps, hats, bonnets, and other things that we are excited to use for the session, if you'd like to add something to the session it will be done at the discretion of the photographer after all the pre-planned setups are completed. We cannot guarantee any specific poses or props being used, if this is important to you we'd love to speak with you about booking a full priced session.
Q: What will the images be used for?
A: As this is a model call you are allowing us to use the images of your children and family in marketing, advertising, and any other promotional materials we see fit, we will never use the names of your children or family in any blog post or marketing materials. In our blog posts we like to use Baby "B" or the "B" Family.
Q: What do I get for my time? And how long will the session last?
A: The session will last between 2-3 hours and you will receive your choice of 3 digital images with print release from an online gallery. If you'd like to purchase additional files or products that will be an option and we will talk over our price list with you. Our gift prints begin at $25 and our digital files begin at $50. We also offer different packages and digital packages.
Q: What do we need to do to prepare for the session?
A: After a contract and model release is signed we will discuss preparations instructions for a successful session, you will receive these in written form as well :)
Q: Can I have more than 3-digital files for our time? Is it negotiable?
A: As stated above the session will come with your choice of 3 files included for your time and you may purchase additional products and files. If having more up front is important to you, we'd be happy to book a full priced session with you!
Q: I'm concerned about taking my babyout of the house so soon after birth, and am bit concerned about germs, what is the cleaning policy in the studio?
A: We COMPLETEY understand the hesitation of taking the baby out of the house so soon after coming home and advise you to ask your physician or pediatrician about any concerns. Our studio is cleaned after every use (children, portraits, newborns, etc) and all of our blankets, wraps etc are washed with Dreft after each use. We take the health and safety of your babies very seriously and want this to be a fun and comfortable experience for all of you.
Q: Do you offer "grow with me" packages?
A: Yes!! And as you'll be getting the model call for free we recommend our 3 session package which could include a combination of 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 1-year photos! These packages begin at $1200.
Q: I love how this sounds but I've already booked a newborn session with another professional photographer, can I still do this?
A: We are so happy that you already had plans to have your babies photographed! We are looking for a family that hasn't booked with another photographer already (and will sign a binding contract saying so), while we really appreciate your interest we want to make sure we are being fair to our fellow business owners! We'd love to see you in the future for your photographic needs!
Q: What about safety, do you have training?
A: As a professional photographer I take my craft very seriously, I have been through years of rigorous training to learn how to handle and pose babies properly, including training on their anatomy all poses are done with safety as a top priority and at no time will your baby be put in a compromising position.

Thank you for your interest in my newborn model call! Please fill out and submit the form below and I will contact you within a few days to let you know if your family has been chosen.
As Spring is almost here we are thrilled to be planning some exciting changes for the coming months (hint, it involves a studio!) smile emoticon To kick it off we are doing a model call for at least 1 set of newborn twins!! If you are expecting twins or know someone who is in the next month, or maybe the twins came early, we'd love to speak with them (the parents not the twins smile emoticon )
The session will take place in my studio and be 1-2 hours in length. All newborn clothing and props will be provided.
To be eligible parent/baby must:
Be between 4-12 days old
Sign a model release, allowing images to be used
Be available for a weekday Monday or Wednesday portrait session.
In return, you will receive a complimentary session & 3 high resolution digital images with print release.
There is no obligation to purchase, however additional products and digital images are available for purchase.
We understand that any baby brings a big change to a family but twins can bring double! We know you will have questions about how the session will go and how the images of the babies and your family will be used. Here are a few questions that we thought parents may have:
Q: How old do the twins need to be for the session
A: If the babies were born at full term we will schedule the session within the first 4-12 days of life, please contact us directly if the babies were born early
Q: Where will the session be held? Can it be held in our home?
A: For this model call the session will be held in our new studio in Ellicott City. If you'd like to book a session in your home we'd love to talk to you about our in-home sessions and packages, at the moment we are not conducting model calls in-home.
Q: Can I give you examples of things I've seen on Pinterest that I'd like to have done, or can I bring props and things?
A: For this model call we will by styling the session with poses, blankets, props, wraps, hats, bonnets, and other things that we are excited to use for the session, if you'd like to add something to the session it will be done at the discretion of the photographer after all the pre-planned setups are completed. We cannot guarantee any specific poses or props being used, if this is important to you we'd love to speak with you about booking a full priced session.
Q: What will the images be used for?
A: As this is a model call you are allowing us to use the images of your children and family in marketing, advertising, and any other promotional materials we see fit, we will never use the names of your children or family in any blog post or marketing materials. In our blog posts we like to use Baby "B" or the "B" Family.
Q: What do I get for my time? And how long will the session last?
A: The session will last between 2-3 hours and you will receive your choice of 3 digital images with print release from an online gallery. If you'd like to purchase additional files or products that will be an option and we will talk over our price list with you. Our gift prints begin at $25 and our digital files begin at $50. We also offer different packages and digital packages.
Q: What do we need to do to prepare for the session?
A: After a contract and model release is signed we will discuss preparations instructions for a successful session, you will receive these in written form as well :)
Q: Can I have more than 3-digital files for our time? Is it negotiable?
A: As stated above the session will come with your choice of 3 files included for your time and you may purchase additional products and files. If having more up front is important to you, we'd be happy to book a full priced session with you!
Q: I'm concerned about taking my babies out of the house so soon after birth, and am bit concerned about germs, what is the cleaning policy in the studio?
A: We COMPLETEY understand the hesitation of taking the babies out of the house so soon after coming home and advise you to ask your physician or pediatrician about any concerns. Our studio is cleaned after every use (children, portraits, newborns, etc) and all of our blankets, wraps etc are washed with Dreft after each use. We take the health and safety of your babies very seriously and want this to be a fun and comfortable experience for all of you.
Q: Do you offer "grow with me" packages?
A: Yes!! And as you'll be getting the model call for free we recommend our 3 session package which could include a combination of 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 1-year photos! These packages begin at $1200.
Q: I love how this sounds but I've already booked a newborn session with another professional photographer, can I still do this?
A: We are so happy that you already had plans to have your babies photographed! We are looking for a family that hasn't booked with another photographer already (and will sign a binding contract saying so), while we really appreciate your interest we want to make sure we are being fair to our fellow business owners! We'd love to see you in the future for your photographic needs!
Q: What about safety, do you have training?
A: As a professional photographer I take my craft very seriously, I have been through years of rigorous training to learn how to handle and pose babies properly, including training on their anatomy all poses are done with safety as a top priority and at no time will your baby be put in a compromising position.
Q: I have other questions, what should I do to get them answered?
A: Please fill out the form below and we will be in touch!

Last week I had the honor of documenting baby J's 1st birthday party, and it was full of wild things! It was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day in Rockville Maryland, there had been predictions of rain for the day, but Mother Nature gave us a real treat with beautiful sunshine and warm temperatures. His parents did an amazing job with the decorations, theme and food! It was so much fun! Little J was so excited for his party, you can see him laughing and giggling throughout, he even dressed up as the CUTEST little wild thing for some photos :)
The welcoming atmosphere and love that is felt among the family and friends in attendance was beautiful, little J is lucky to have some super fun cousins, grandparents and lots of amazing friends <3 <3
Just a few days ago I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet, smart, smiley and charasmatic 6-year-old little girl for her Easter Mini Session/Spring photo session. She was so much fun to work with, and I loved watching her interact with her adorable pups, the look between them in a few of the photos gave me all the feels :)
Spring is the perfect time for getting update photos of your kiddos!! We'll be doing several Spring mini sessions leading up to the beginning of Summer, don't hesitate to get in contact as they tend to be very popular and book up quickly :)

The day of the wedding the Bride and Groom got ready at their beautiful home on Kent Narrows with their families before doing a first look on the upper balcony of their home, despite being Winter, the pair had the perfect weather for some outdoor photos :) The beautiful and intimate ceremony and reception took place just a few miles from their home at Bridges on Kent Narrows and I couldn't image a more perfect setting for a lovely winter wedding! You won't believe who made the cake! Renee is not only stunning and among the most amazing people I've ever met, she is also a FABULOUS baker!! She made her own wedding cake and it was not only beautiful but DELICIOUS! I can't say that many brides are able to manage everything leading up to their wedding AND make their own wedding cake...it really just speaks to have amazing and special she really is <3
This is just a sneak of R&R's special day, but I feel that these images show a story in themselves, one of LOVE, LAUGHTER and FRIENDSHIP, which are key elements in any marriage. I love both of these two so much and hope you can feel the love as well <3
Nothing compares to the love that can easily be felt in this family, even from baby O's older brother Jake, who happily gives him kisses when given the chance. I had so many favorites in this gallery that it's hard to find a favorite, but baby "O" having some of his first solid foods and the excitement in his eyes might be in contention with being read to by his mom and dad and some cuddle time on the bed.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them <3 <3

Here is just a sneak peek into his newborn session, check back in a few weeks for a full post from all of the sessions with his family :)
Yes, he has BEAUTIFUL long lashes and amazingly curly baby hair :)
So in love with these adorably perfect cheeks and baby rolls!
Baby "N" with his grandfathers dog tags <3
]]>I had the honor of photographing baby "E" at just 9-days new on February 13th, and he is absolutely perfect! His parents each have different things that they love, his Dad shared with me that he loves Star Wars and his Mom loves Harry Potter, so I made sure to include setups that would be special to each :) The beautiful blue, white and yellow cap as well as the blue cap in the last photo were knitted by his Grandmother.
Hope you enjoy this sneak peek inside his newborn session.

This morning I had the opportunity to work with this beautiful family at Brookside Gardens! After some worries about the weather given all the rain on Saturday, I awoke this morning to cloudless blue skies and perfect temperatures. Ava, the little girl of the family, was absolutely working the camera, she did an amazing job for only being 2 1/2. Here is a sneak peek for the family, can't wait to edit the rest of the session!
