A Family Thing

Child/Family portrait session 2

It was early in the morning on a hot, humid summer day when I met the L family at Sherwood Gardens in Baltimore. I found them in this beautiful setting eating breakfast while sitting on a bench under a tree. Did I mention it was early… We got right down to business and took off our shoes. Add in a beach ball and ready, set, run!! There was a brief interlude in the running to test out some tree climbing skills and then we got right back to running. Once all the running (and plain ole exhaustion set in!) I was able to take a few classic portraits of all the kids. Check them out – they are beautiful!! (The kids!! I meant the kids!!)

A Lake Cottage Wedding

Rogers Lake Wedding Old Lyme Connecticut 2

I got a call from California this winter. The woman on the other end of the phone asked if I was located in Old Lyme, CT and was I free 4th of July weekend. Well as most of you know, I grew up in Old Lyme and every July I usually spend a week at my parents when my sisters and their families come in to town. Of course I was available! The more I talked/emailed with Jenny and Jeff, the more I loved this wedding. It was going to be small – 40 to 50 people – and at the lake cottage Jeff spent all his summers growing up. I have a soft spot in my heart for the upper part of Rogers Lake. It’s where I first learned to row many moons ago and is still my favorite

The Non-Traditional Traditional Headshot

punch headshots

Headshot - A head shot is a photographic technique where the focus of the photograph is a person’s face. Headshot is essentially the same as portrait. However, headshot is an image that portrays people as they are and is more of a ‘mug shot’. (from wikipedia) Headshots…. They can be the bread and butter of a photographer’s existence and simultaneously the suck of their creative soul. Imagine how thrilled I was when I got an email asking if I could do some headshots but with an edge, not “the catholic school girl look”. It got even more interesting as my contact person was interested in getting headshots done for two very different business – a law office and an advertising agency. Couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum! A challenge I was ready to take on! First up –

Lil Mr N – Newborn Session

Mr N - newborn photography session

This was a newborn session I waited for months to happen! I met Lil Mr N’s mom when she was about 3 months pregnant. It wasn’t to long after that we talked about doing a newborn session. We set it all up 4 months before he arrived! As we got closer and closer to his due date I had to refrain myself from emailing his mom and repeatedly asking “Is he here yet??” Well I can finally say – He’s Here, He’s Here!! Meet Lil Mr. N!

Mommy and Me Photo Session

Mommy and Me

A few weeks ago (ok maybe more – I’ve been a wee bit busy…) my favorite mommy blogger, (cool) progeny, sent me a Facebook message asking if I’d be interested in doing a Mommy and Me photo session with her and her daughter. Of course!! We started the afternoon off ‘sharing’ goldfish and quickly moved to jumping on the bed, reading books and singing songs. Wheels on the Bus was a huge hit!! It was such a fun afternoon filled with laughs and giggles.  I love when I get to photograph the connection and love between parents and their kids. It’s a special kind of love! (cool) progeny even wrote up a review of the day on her blog!
