Wee tiny Amelia, DC newborn portraits

This little peanut was so tiny and sweet...I love how she curled up just like she would have been in utero!

First Birthday Portraits, Towson Baltimore

I photographed Brooke's big brother around this time last year when he was just turning one, and I wasn't able to do her newborn portraits because she and my own baby were born the same week. But here she is at one year, walking, talking and full of spunk! And she has such a beautiful family!

New kid on the block, newborn Towson portraits

The sweet baby boy is quite literally the new kid on my block...his family lives just across the street from me! While trick-or-treating Halloween night, we saw his poor mommy looking so very uncomfortably pregnant while she handed out candy. Fast forward a week or two and VOILA, here's the culprit! All nine pounds, ten ounces of him!

Election Day newborn. (Baltimore photographer Blair Blanks)

This sweet baby girl was born on election day...her poor mama had a loooong labor and wasn't able to vote, but she'll always have a great story to tell about the day her daughter was born!

It's beginning to look a lot like...holiday portraits Baltimore

The holiday mini-sessions at Ultimate Play Zone in Cockeysville were a blast! I got to see some little people I haven't seen in a while and meet some new ones!

I may be opening up ONE weekday soon for mini-sessions in the studio. If you are interested and want to get on my list, just send me an email at blair@blairblanks.com.

All you need is ONE! {Toddler portraits Balitmore}

Most of you who frequent my site know Aaron here...he is the wide-eyed baby in the green knit hat who is on my site as well as several pieces of my marketing materials (like my car and business card). I get so many comments about that photo, and everyone loves his sweet little face.

Welp, fast forward a year or so and Aaron seems to think his 15 minutes of fame have been QUITE enough, thank you very much! At 20 months, he gave us a run for our money. I truly did not think I had even one smile shot out of him from our mini-session but lo and behold there were actually a few! But even his serious looks are adorable!

Lovely Lila {Baltimore family portraits}

Sweet Lila is a lovely little peanut of a baby! Three-month-olds can be tough to photograph, but every time we thought we'd worn Miss Lila out, she'd get all smiley on us and turn on the charm!!

Lil Miss Piper, *Baby photographer DC*

Miss Piper was soooo sleepy and chubby! Just how I like 'em! Great name, too!

Baltimore "Raven," newborn baby photos

Her name is Raven and she is brand new...whether or not she is named in honor of the football team depends on which parent you ask!

Newborn Harley...

Just a quick sneak peek at little Harley's newborn photo session. Such a cool name for such a cool little guy!
