Just an advisory to those of you who care:  When weather.com says there is a wind advisory, don’t go up to Federal Hill & expect it not to be too windy.  Federal Hill is windy on a regular day, and then, add a wind advisory on top of that & you’ll get some crazy swirly hair & teary eyes.  Now that I’m done with my meteorologist report, on to the blog…

Shortly after Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to photograph a neat family that my husband’s family is somehow connected to.  My father-in-law says Barb (or “Barbie” as he fondly refers to her) babysat Josh as a child.  But I think  she & Josh are close in age, so that would be kinda hard…and illegal.  I don’t know!  Regardless, I have made a new friend in their daughter Rebecca.  She is a doll baby!  Apparently she just turned two & only wanted to play on the playground on top of Federal Hill.  With a lot of coaxing, goldfish crackers, and Princess cookies we managed to get Becca away from the playground & out for some family shots.  I LOVE 2-year-olds!  I have one myself who is very trying when she wants to be, but very sweet at the same time.  I love how they can swing like a pendulum between 5 different emotions in a matter of two minutes!  Becca, Barb, & Rob were all great & so flexible.  Thanks for putting up with my many attempts at getting Becca to “cooperate.”  I just loved our morning together.  I hope she napped well afterwards because I know I needed to!

Presenting the Frederick family….
