hellooooooooo gorgeous!  it was no secret when i first met the S family that their wee one would be absolutely gorgeous… and he didn’t disappoint!   i meet so many of couples during the most stressful/awesome/exhausting time of their lives, so it was nice to get to know D & T during their maternity session before all the chaos began

with such a beautiful family, i wasn’t too concerned about getting good shots, but when D pulled out a full crab set-up, i knew it was on.  … because what says baltimore baby more than old bay and crabs?

in just a few short weeks, it went from this:

to this:

… and that is just a little bit incredible.

the s family has some of the most fun, spunky little characters that i’ve seen in a while!  so much about these three little ones reminded me of my family growing up.  they have almost the exact age differences as me and my younger brother & sister, and have some very similar personality traits!  (well, miss O was only 8 weeks, so that’s a little hard to tell, but Z & J definitely reminded me of myself and my brother)    this was such a fun shoot and these kiddos are incredibly lucky to have such an awesome back yard!!

i just love this location– it was the perfect place for the super adorable, fun-loving T munchkins!  these kids are full of expression and such a joy to photograph     miss S kept reaching for her big brother’s hand.  in typical little boy fashion, he was resistant at first, but he eventually took her hand and i watched him fall into that oh-so-familiar protective older sibling role.  mr E  was very careful with S, often looking down at her while they were walking through the thick grass, making sure she was ok… melt my heart!

oh boy are the S’s going to be in trouble in about 7 years!   not only is miss K one gorgeous little lady, she already knows how to strut her stuff!   K came prepared with a plethora of poses and that rare kind of confidence that will take her places someday.  not to mention miss K’s studly two-year-old-of-a-brother, J.  he’s full of personality and such a little man– sweet hawk!

one of my favorite things about my job is when i get to meet fun new parents. not that there aren’t many fun parents out there (there are), but it’s always nice to meet people who are laid-back, fun, and look forward to expanding their social life with their new addition rather than feeling hindered by him. handsome mr e was lucky enough to be born into one of those families!

  first off, how cute is newborn e!?  you can definitely tell he’s the sibling of his firecracker big brother, b.    we had our session the day before b’s 3rd birthday party, so he was quite excited reading and re-reading all of his birthday cards.  (so cute!)  the excitement faded to antsy pants as our session went on, and just when we thought he was completely over getting family shots, b pulled out his most favorite thing to “read” of all:  his parent’s honeymoon photos!  check out that awesome sunshine-y smile!   the w family is so lucky to have two incredibly cute boys on their hands.  watch out, world!

 

  rewind to last fall… or maybe even summer… i am THAT far behind.  (lets blame pregnancy?  and childbirth?  and owning two little monsters that keep me busy 24/7?)     

 i got to do a session with miss j and her awesome parents, who just so happen to be in our playgroup– always a treat!   miss j was only weeks away from becoming a big sister, so it was special getting to photograph them in their last days as a family of 3.  there is something so precious about those last few months …   while you are ready to welcome the newest addition, you also want to savor your 1-on-1 time and really make it count…  because as much as it is the beginning of a new chapter, it is also the end of another… and i love that the A family wanted to document that. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  my first set of newborn twins!!  (well, to photograph anyway)   it was a dark, stormy day when i headed up to the B’s home– and it took us a good while to baby wrangle two precious wee ones to sleep at the same time, but i had such a great time with this shoot.   not only are the b’s an awesome family, they are absolutely gorgeous, too! 

 

 

beautiful miss a is in my kiddo’s playgroup, but what i didn’t know was that we would be total bff within 10 minutes of taking my first shot nothing makes me happier than really connecting with my littlest clients- it makes my job even more fun! the b’s are such a fun family and miss a’s “too cute” face is really just that: toooooo cute!

  this is such a cute little family– miss k is the sweetest little 8-week-old and i’m pretty sure mr c rules the world when he’s not playing in the dirt with lightning mcqueen…  well, i know he’s learning mandarin in the very least.  (seriously.)   i’ve come across countless little boys who adore lightning mcqueen, but mr c was the first that really knows his stuff!  clearly he’s been doing his research
