LaGreca Family Session | Towson, Maryland {Baltimore Family Photographer}

fall_family_session_in_baltimore_maryland

The LaGreca family is so special to me for so many reasons.  They have been a part of our small group for over 10 years so we have experienced a lot of life together.  We have rejoiced, mourned, encouraged and spurred one another on over the years.  They also were the first family I captured with my camera (other than my own).  Jen believed in me way back when this business was a dream that I had yet to fully form in my mind.  Back when I knew little about the golden hour, prime lenses and f stops.  I love photographing them each year not only because I hope to capture lasting memories for them but it is also a visual reminder to me of how far I have come as a photographer.  These past few years I have worked hard to hone this craft and build my business into something that will best represent my "why" for taking pictures.  I want to help women capture those glimpses of what motherhood and marriage feel like...because if we're honest it isn't always pretty but deep down we know we love our husband and kids with a  passion beyond description and we all long to see glimpses of that in our photos.  

LaGreca's thank you so much for believing in me, and encouraging me.  I will be forever grateful!

Authentic interactions and genuine expressions made this a fun fall session for everyone involved.  This past spring I donated a mini session to my son's school auction and Jenn, the Education Director at the school won the session.  Chris, Jenn, Landon and Parks thank you for coming to play...you all were a blast to photograph!

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

Abram turns One-0853.jpg

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.

Olivia's Senior Session | North Carroll High School {Baltimore Senior Photographer}

Olivia V Senior Session-0268.jpg

The last time I saw Olivia was over 10 years ago when her brother and my oldest son played baseball together.  Her dad was the coach.  Olivia's mom, Dina has been following my photography journey over the last 10 years and contacted me to capture her senior pictures.  Olivia is a senior at North Carroll High School.  She is interested in studying Biology in college with a desire to go to PA School.  We met on a beautiful evening last weekend just as the sun was setting to capture these images.

Frain 50th Anniversary Session | Towson, Maryland {Baltimore Milestone Photographer}

Frain Extended Family Session-9805.jpg

“Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.” ~ Jennifer Smith

50 years of marriage is an incredible milestone to celebrate these days.  It is so important to take time to preserve these moments.  I know these images will be a treasure for the Frain family, and they will also serve as an heirloom for generations to come.   I met them on the sidelines of baseball and soccer games.  They were diligent about watching their grandchildren's sporting events. 

We had the pleasure of home schooling and coaching sports with the Frain's son and daughter-in-law, John and Dana.  Our boys are similar ages and were often on the same teams.  John and Dana are the type of friends you want in your corner.  They are always there to lend a helping hand.  Dana is a giver...she has often surprised our boys with birthday gifts, or dropped off cards and balloons when we had yet another injury.  And recently, she not only offered to take one of my kids while we ran another one to the hospital, but packed a bag with snacks, books and toys for the trip. 

Lelah is such a fun aunt (as you will see from the pictures in this session). She also has the cutest dog!  We were all bummed she didn't bring her for the session. Frains, thank you for allowing me to capture your family!
