Maryland Baby Photographer Gail Montgomery | Proud To Be An American

As Americans, we often forget about the sacrifice so many make to serve our country. We are so fortunate to have the many freedoms granted in the US and I was so proud to be able to photograph this family and their new addition. Daddy selflessly defends our country. He was deployed during most of Mommy's first pregnancy and he missed the birth and first few months of big sister's life. So often we take maternity/paternity leave for granted, but I simply cannot imagine how hard it must have been for Mommy and Daddy to be separated at such a precious time in their lives. Fortunately, Daddy was here for the safe arrival of baby Austin. I am so happy to help them cherish these times with these images. Welcome baby Austin - to the land of the free.

Sweet, Sweet Baby | Baltimore Newborn Baby Photographer

I almost caught a case of baby fever after this session. Sweet baby John was so tiny and warm and had the cutest little whimper of a cry. Err... I mean, it was very manly for a baby, but not shrill or even very loud. It was the cutest cry I've heard in a long time! And the color of his fine baby hair reminded me of my own little baby (who is now two). John was so easygoing, letting me play with some of my new props and a few new lighting techniques. He is a long little guy though! I tried one prop that worked with a 10 ponder, but John was too long for it! But he didn't put up much of a fuss at all! It is funny how even as a tiny newborn their personalities are so apparent already. I do hope John continues to be a laid back easy going kind of guy - and I just know those eyes are going to be blue!

Amazing Grace | Maryland Event Photographer Gail Montgomery

If you follow the blog, you might remember this newborn, baby Max. When his parents asked me if I would consider driving to Virginia to photograph his Baptism, of course I said YES! I have gotten so many wonderful comments from his newborn session, I had to see how much he has grown since then. He was still a delightful baby, all smiles when we met up at the church. The service was all in Romanian, which made it a little challenging to follow along, but absolutely beautiful to listen to and watch. It was a long day for the guest of honor, but he allowed me a few moments to get a quick portrait. And I'm sure he had a great nap after all that activity!

On the trail...

After our mini session the other day with Alexander, I still had the rocking horse set up in the studio. I recieved some new lighting equipment and was excited to try out some new techniques. Wesley wasn't entirely on board with being a model this day, but we still got some good stuff out of our moments in the studio. And he was greatly rewarded with some cookies for being such a cute cowboy!

What A Wonderful World

Four weeks old! Baby Sarah is starting to outgrow the squishy newborn look, but is still quite the stunning little girl! She was so calm and relaxed. She even slept better than most of the shiny new newborns I've worked with! Fortunately, I had just received a few new props just in time for this session - so her Mommy and I had a little extra fun playing dress up!
