A few of my favorite things...
I have had the sheer pleasure of photographing so many beautiful new babies recently! And I've had many requests to view my announcement design offerings. All of them are fully customizeable, including colors, fonts or adding elements. All cards are sized 5" x 7" and are press printed. They are available for $40 for a pack of 24 flat cards. Please contact me with any questions regarding birth announcements. The direct link to the birth announcement gallery is:

Joy To The World
I have always been intrigued by sisters. Maybe it is because I never had a sister, but I just loved watching (and working with) Kaya and Quinn. There is still a pretty good age difference between the two girls, but Kaya is such a doting big sister and obviously adores her new role in the family. Quinn is a smiley little babe, as long as she gets what she wants. Sounds like Kaya has already taught Quinn a thing or two! These two girls are beyond beautiful, with those big eyes and porcelain skin - they were a dream to photograph!

Santa Baby
My latest newborn session was with Miss Nora, who was cute as a button and had the sweetest disposition. I know her Mom and Dad (and Grandma too!) have been hard at work trying to get this little one to gain some weight and baby Nora's story is so similar to my own Wesley's first few weeks. They were long and tiring, yet the effort feeds into the greatest love! Baby Nora was quite the sleepy baby which made her a little extra snuggly. It was so nice to share a cuddle with this baby between background changes. Nora didn't seem to mind! I certainly hope some things never change!

You've Got A Friend In Me
>
Baby Archer was only 7 days old when I took these pictures. The little newborn was not so little, weighing in at 10 pounds and almost 4 ounces at birth, this little man was almost too big for some of my newborn ideas. For example, he was hanging off the Dr. Seuss books I had brought specifically for this session. I still had to try to get the image and in some ways it speaks volumes about how big this little guy is!
You may recognize Archer's big brother, Nolan, in the last image. It has been my pleasure to have been photographing this family since Nolan came home from the hospital and I am honored to be able to continue the tradition for Archer! Sweet little Nolan still has so much to learn about this big wide world of ours, but it is obvious he already loves his baby brother! I know they'll be good friends as they grow up, not only because they are close in age, but because their family is strong and supportive, full of love and very close knit despite the miles that separate them physically. You can be sure you'll be seeing more pictures of Archer as he gets even bigger!

We are family!
The session was a whirl of excitement and fun! This family is one of the most loving and supportive families I know and it was my honor and pleasure to work with them! It was a little challenging at times to keep all four little ones happy, but I had a few secret weapons. Poor little Connor wasn't feeling well, but I think even he had fun! Apparently these cousins LOVE to get together, just another example of how strongly bonded this family is. I only wish I could have had more time with them! Thanks guys!

Seasons Of Love
I had the pleasure of photographing another session in the Federal Hill area this past weekend. I have known this couple since just before they got married almost four (wow - FOUR!!!) years ago. Since then, they have welcomed two bundles of love into their lives. It has been so much fun to watch Laurie and Chris weather the different seasons of their lives. The goal for our session was to capture some images of the family and those two handsome and super smiley boys in the beautiful fall colors. The boys were so well behaved, despite the fact that Clark, the two year old, was just getting over being sick. Even little Graham was nothing but smiles until he fell fast asleep during his stroll home. As we got back to their row house, a firetruck drove past and Clark was in heaven! It was so much fun to see how excitable little boys can be!

Isn't She Lovely
Miss Reeghan was SUCH a trooper for our session! We braved the frigid outdoors, walked to Federal Hill and got some some shots of Reeghan and the Baltimore skyline. It was windy and cold, so we didn't expose the little five month old to the elements for long... just long enough to get a few smiles out of her. Then we headed back home for some shots using my portable studio backgrounds. The big finish (and Mom's only real request) was a little Mommy/daughter time trying to capture some of the joys of baby snuggles. We had Miss Reeghan up long past nap time, but she did so well! As long as she was on her tummy, she would smile and flash those gorgeous baby blues! I'm sure she had a great nap once I left.
