Happy Due Date, Baby Gates! {Preemie newborn photo session}

Mr. Gates came into the world nearly two months ahead of schedule, and I had the honor of photographing him on his due date. He was a perfect little love! (and I know is momma must be DYING to get a sneak peek, so enough blabbing!)

Baby Love Times Two (Twin Newborn Photography Session Baltimore}

So, one newborn is always a challenge. Two...well, you can imagine! But look at these sweeties, so worth the extra effort to get these kinds of photos of them together. I especially love the first ones with their full, round tummies!

Another leaf baby {Baltimore baby photographer Blair Blanks}

I am having so much fun with my leaf babies! This little one was a dream to photograph (ok, so there was that, uh hem, "explosion," but a little poo doesn't scare me!).

Luscious lashes (Baltimore baby photo session}

And the winner for best baby eyelashes goes to...Izze! (and she's in the running for the Best Crazy Baby Hair, too!)

Tough gig...

Well, let's just say being a supermodel is hard work! This little guy was nearing his nap time and just not his smiley self..but he's even cute when he's cranky!

Teacher Appreciation {Newborn Photography Baltimore}

First, let me say how much my 2nd grader loooooves his teacher. When he found out she was going to have a baby, one of the first things he said was, "Mommy, can you take her pictures?" Anyone who can still be as cheerful as she is after a day with the likes of my "wiggle monkey" and all his cohorts merits my eternal gratitude and admiration! So, thank you, Mrs. Celenza, for all that you do, and congratulations on the new baby!

Little Miss Sunshine {Maryland toddler portraits}

Miss Hannah started off a little serious, but by the end of our session she was bouncing off the walls!

Happy Birthday Arnavi! {Baltimore One-year-old portraits}

Arnavi is a gorgeous little girl who was in a very serious mood for our shoot. Isn't she a little princess?

Preston, on the sixth day... {Newborn photo session}

I have a "thing" for Preston...not only is he a little love, but he also has one of my favorite boy names!

Best baby yawn, the winner is... {Maryland newborn portraits}

Connor! He had the best yawn I've seen in a long time. He even got his toes in on the act!

Tessa the Great {Annapolis Newborn Photography Session}

Oh, how Miss Tessa took to the camera! She really conked out at the end of our session, so I got a chance to have a little fun!

Needed: one bold mama! {Casting call for maternity model}

I have some ideas for maternity portraits I'd like to try, but I am needing a very confident pregnant model who is up for anything!

Model should be:
- at least 35 weeks pregnant at time of shoot (shoot will take place in the month of March).
-fit, pre-pregnancy size eight or smaller;
-well groomed;
- comfortable with posing nude or partially nude;
- willing to allow any and all images to be used to promote Blair Blanks Photography, online or in printed promotional materials. Not all images will be anonymous (i.e. faces will be included). Publication, however, is not guaranteed.

No professional modeling experience needed! Photo session will take place at my studio in Towson.

This will not be a regular portrait session; the object of the session will be to achieve a specific pose or look for Blair's portfolio. If there is time after the particular image has been achieved, other images may be photographed (but additional poses are not guaranteed).

There is no cost to the selected model. The selected model will not pay a session fee and will receive a free 11x14 print in exchange for her time (no substitutions). Other images may be purchased at regular print prices.

If you or anyone you know might be interested, please email me at blair@blairblanks.com.
