I’d like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the clients, families & children who came out for my annual mini sessions.  It was an awesome 3 days & wonderful to meet & reconnect.  Thank you again!

I can’t even remember the circumstances under which I met Jacqui.  I vaguely think my mom was her teacher, or something?  Anyway, we know each other now, and that’s what matters.  When I heard that Jacqui & Kevin were going to be parents, I was so excited.  When they asked me to photograph this important moment in their lives, I was over the moon!

Hanging out with these two at Quiet Waters park was awesome.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day, a better location, and they have some of the most new parent-to-be lovieness that I’ve seen.   They didn’t need much direction from me to snuggle, laugh, embrace, kiss, & just love one another – because those things just seemed to flow naturally.

And it brings a little tear to my eye every time I see a dad-to-be like Kevin.  So in love with his girl, and so in love with the little girl waiting to be born.  I can’t wait to meet her, you two!  Enjoy your preview!

Ahh, I just get so excited when it’s time to photograph Clara!  I cannot believe I met her at two weeks old.  And here we are at 2 years old already…time does fly too fast.

Clara & her parents met me at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis over the weekend.  It was a pretty sticky, hot day, but we made the best of it.  All the time we kept Clara going by promising her a look at the turtles in the Quiet Waters pond.  When we finally came through on our promise, she was thrilled!

Take a quick look at all the fun we had & at Clara’s wonderful outfits!

Um, did y’all survive that wicked storm that blew through here?  It was crazy!  I thought for sure my session for Sunday evening would be canceled.  And I felt awful because I know how hard it is to orchestrate eleven people for a photo shoot!  Luckily the Goldbeck family was still willing – and wonderful – even in the humidity of the day.  Here are a few of my favorites.  And special thanks goes out to Catherine, Lilly, & Declan for being so so so so awesome!  You all are the best little people models I’ve met lately.

My 365 post from yesterday got moved to today because, frankly, I’m getting old & am too tired to stay up after a wedding & post a photo.  Maybe I need to take up coffee, or vitamins!

Well, I had the great pleasure of photographing Dave & Kasandra’s wedding at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, Maryland.  I got an email from Dave earlier in the week asking what my plans were if it happened to rain.  Um…not show up???   Well, thanks be to God, it did not rain until after the wedding!

We ran out of time (due to various reasons) for Dave & Kasandra’s bride & groom photos, so I begged them to let me take them out after their reception & have 30 minutes of their time.  The following photo is one of the many that made me get all giddy & teary-eyed at the same time.  Thanks so much for letting me put you in the briers…I think it was worth it!
