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

A Wee Bit Busy…

Farm House on Maryland's Eastern Shore

You may have noticed that I’ve been quiet, unusually quiet, over the last month. It has been a month of Mommy and Me sessions, weddings in CT and newborns but mostly a month of moving… Let take a step back, shall we. You would be correct if you thought “Wait. Didn’t she just move last year at this time?” Why yes I did and what a move that was. On a complete leap of faith, not knowing anyone, I moved to Upper Baltimore County, Maryland. I found this sweet, sweet little cottage and set up camp. I loved my little cottage but as time passed I found myself spending more and more time on the Eastern Shore. Queen Anne’s County to be exact. The majority of the people who wove themselves into my life over the last year live down

Sometimes It’s Better You Don’t Know…

01

“Wow. Working on a project and going through all my old work I did in photography school. I wasn’t just bad – I was HORRIBLE!!! Thank goodness I didn’t know it then!” Facebook Status May 8 2011 Yep, that was an actual status update a few days ago. I knew once I put that out I’d have to share the badness with you… How did this revelation come about you ask? I went searching for some inspiration for a new project on which I’ve been working. This project will involve working with others and some teaching. So naturally, I thought “Ah ha! The photo assignments I did at school are the perfect place to start!!” What I found – “WOW” and not in a good way!! I was horrible, horrible. All I could think was “Thank goodness I didn’t know

One For The Books – The Great Cloth Diaper Change Annapolis

Faces from Annapolis Great Cloth Diaper Change

What do you do when you get asked to document “The Great Cloth Diaper Change – Annapolis/Columbia“? You say heck yes! A few weeks back, I received an email from LeeAnne of Macaroni Kid Annapolis – Kent Island asking if I’d like to be part of The Great Cloth Diaper Change. This was an international event to set a world record with Guinness World Records for the most babies ever changed with cloth diapers at the same time. She and Rachel of Greenberries were the sponsors for the Annapolis-Columbia site. How on earth could I say no to that? I remember as a kid pouring over the Guinness Books every time we went to the book store – fascinated by the odd and empowering things people would do just to set a record. To qualify as an official site, we had
