Tallaluh & Walker

I loved this session!  Mostly because of seeing such different personalities in one little household!  Tallaluh showed me fantastic talents as a teaparty host while Walker took things very seriously.  We worked on getting grins out of that little guy but he loved to just give us the “Walker Look!”  Notice the middle shot of Walker in the suitcase.  The look on his face is to die for… so sweet.  He almost looks like he thinks we are really going to pack him up!!  Thanks for a great session!SimonBlog1SimonBlog2SimonBlog3SimonBlog4

Brand New Blake

Now that I am nearing 40… OUCH!!!  Newborn sessions bring a little extra joy to my heart, remembering those tired, blissful days when I would look at the time of day as the sun was going down and wondered…, “Did I just spend an entire day looking at this precious face and little body!!??”  The time is so precious and moves by so quickly.  It is always so nice to have these little wonders documented.  Larson1Larson2Larson3Larson4

4 Kiddos and Balloons

The thing I love most about photographing bigger families is when I edit and count how many different expressions are in one photograph!  It is so much fun.  It is one chance you get to see all these personalities at the exact same time.  I brought along a bouquet of balloons to revitalize the troops when they thought they had enough just so we could get the absolute most out of the session.  Mom of the V Family chose the most awesome location at Colvin Run Mill.  There were so many nice spots and it added great variety to the session.  Thanks, V Family!  I had a great time!

Celebrating Miracles and Family

I had a wonderful morning with the D family on a beautiful, sunny morning.  Little Henry born a little too soon, enjoyed his photo session as I watched his eyes marvel at the people who love him.  It was amazing to watch this little body the size of newborn have all of this awareness of his new place in life.

And, Will, well he is at that age that keeps you on your toes as I held my camera ready for a moment of pause as he explored the gardens with all of his great, “big boy” energy!

Allison&Alex

AA_11

Sometimes you can just tell at the beginning of the day….

AA_9AA_8AA_10AA_5How the end is going to turn out.

The “ROASTS” were hilarious…

AA_6AA_2AA_7After I took the picture above…I asked the guys what they were up to.

They then sat the chair down.

Allison came over and asked me if I had just saved them from doing something stupid…..

AA_4Guess Not….AA_3AA_1Allison and Alex’s wedding was beautiful, funny and fun!

CONGRATS!!!

Heather&Mike

HM_6HM_7HM_3HM_5HM_4HM_1HM_2What a beautiful place for a wedding…and I’ve never seen so many people cutting a rug on the dance floor
for so many hours straight!  When I saw two ladies had grabbed the pink sashes that were wrapped around
the chairs, at that point I knew…..it was gonna get even crazier.  What followed were several very original rituals
including a very tantalizing game of L I M B O.  Congrats Mike and Heather!!!  It was a blast!!

Oh and Mike….we swear Heather did NOT cry ;)

Brenda&Anthony

BA_2BA_4BA_3BA_6BA_5BA_1BA_1BA_8BA_7Amongst a UMD football game, a ridiculously huge rain storm and muddy feet… these two remained calm, cool, beautiful and had quite an amazing day!  After a long distance relationship with miles traveled recorded in the engraving on a wedding band, these two finally are together!

Cornucopia Farms provided the doves for a beautiful dove release and my favorite cake company, Fancy Cakes by Leslie, did an incredible job as always!

Best quote of the night… when the Maid of Honor gave her toast the page was wet with rain, “My page is blurry from the rain, if anything I say seems to be blurry, it is only reflective of the page.”  I am going to try to add that to my excuse book:)  Thought it was hilarious!

Congratulations, Brenda and Anthony!
