Abram's Milestone Session | Western Maryland {Maryland Milestone Photographer}

Someone is just a little excited to celebrate his First Birthday this weekend!  Milestone Sessions are a great way to capture your little one at a specific stage.  We all know they change so quickly in those first few years.  I like to allow the child time to explore and play for these sessions.  This ensures that the images we capture are true to who they are at that specific slice in time.  Abram was fun and very expressive as we played together.  His mother Kasandra, did a phenomenal job of choosing their outfits.  They brought out the rich warm tones of fall.   She also brought this chair along that she was photographed in as a young child.  This session was a gift from his grandparents.  Enjoy this collection of images from my session with Abram and Kasandra.

Hewitt Extended Family Session | River Valley Ranch

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." Aaron Siskind

This session was one for the books.  I absolutely love when people give a session as a gift to a loved one.  I have known Jon and Courtney Bisset for many years and was excited to have the opportunity to capture her extended family, the Hewitt's.  Courtney and her siblings, Lindsey and Greg wanted a unique gift for their mom, Heidi.  Jon is the Executive Director of River Valley Ranch so we met on a quiet Sunday and utilized the amazing property as a backdrop for the session.  The Ranch is a special place for the Hewitt family.  Years ago they created a beautiful memorial to their late husband/father/grandfather near the quiet stream in the center of the ranch.  Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to see this space.

Baby Carlisle | Delaware {Maryland Newborn Photographer}

" Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love."   1 Corinthians 16:13, 14

This past Saturday, Evan and Patricia Hollins invited me into their home to capture their sweet baby, Carlisle.  Walking into his nursery that day, I was immediately struck by his parents love and care as they prepared for his arrival.  Evan spent many hours crafting the crib for the nursery.  It is absolutely beautiful! The scripture from 1 Corinthians is above his changing table... a visual reminder of what is truly important as they raise Carlisle in the way he should go.    I truly consider it a blessing to be a part of this process.  Enjoy meeting baby Carlisle...

Evan and Patricia thank you so much for inviting me to capture such a special milestone!

Owen Turns One | Towson, Maryland {Baltimore Milestone Photographer}

It was a joy to meet Owen a couple of weeks ago to get a head start celebrating his first birthday!  Remember this adorable little guy at 6 months?  I love the opportunity to photograph a baby several times over their first year because they change so fast!  We ended this photo session with a cake smash...I think it's safe to say he enjoyed his cake!

Happy 1st Birthday Owen!!

Hopkins Family Spring Session | Baltimore Maryland

I felt like I hit the jackpot when I heard that the Hopkins Family won the family session I had donated to a local carnival last fall.  George and Stefanie have the most infectious smiles.  Their love for the people of Baltimore is evident in their mission at Gallery Church SoWeBo.  We met one evening as the sun dipped below the trees and had a lot of fun creating these images together.  Their kids came to play which made for a fun, dynamic session!
