Noah, Three Months Old {baby photo session}

Three-month-olds are tough customers! They're not sleepy like newborns; they don't have the stamina of six-month-olds; and they have arms and legs that "windmill" non-stop. Noah was such a sweetie, but like all babies his age, a challenge to photograph. We kept playing this dirty trick on him with his paci --- we'd let him suck just long enough to calm him down and then - pluck!- out it came. Poor little guy was so tired and all he wanted to do was sleep without us bugging him!

She loves her baby so ... {newborn photo session}

There is a shot all parents have in mind when they have an older child and a new baby. It's a sweet shot of the older child loving and cuddling the new infant. Unfortunately, the older sibling, so newly ousted from the spotlight, is usually not on board with this idea. Here we have the exception. Big sister Gabriella could not get enough of "her baby," and it made my heart glad as I witnessed it through my lens.

P.S.- I'm off for a few days for the July 4th holiday. Happy Independence Day, everyone!

And baby makes three... {newborn portrait session}

I photographed these new parents while they were expecting, and here they are with their new little girl... I am always still amazed when I get to see a couple become a family. It's such a privilege, and I never get tired of it!

Lincoln is ONE! {First Birthday Portraits}

I photographed this little guy's older brother as a newborn, and then I photographed Lincoln as a newborn. And now he's a big boy (and wow is he a BIG boy! 27 pounds!). I love taking little boys this age outside. They feel less confined and a little more natural ( and Linc's eyes are REALLY this blue...no Photoshop needed!)

Miss Maisy made us work ... {alternate headline: "The jinxing of a newborn session."}

I hold my breath a little every time a parent of a new baby says, "All she does is sleep," because sure enough, those little boogers LOVE to prove them wrong! Adorable Miss Maisy was one of those...but with lots of convincing (and, finally, a super-tight swaddling!) we got what we wanted!

No better Father's Day {Newborn Photo Session}

Kate is baby number three for this family and thus a super mellow little girl, but even when she fussed she was adorable! I photographed baby Kate and her family on Father's Day, so in honor of that fact, I'll share one of her with her very proud and loving poppa.

Baltimore Baby Boom!

I have lots of babies being born and coming to the studio these days! Here is beautiful Caroline; her session will always stand out to me as one of my favorites. Caroline's safe and healthy arrival is indeed a blessing and a victory for her parents and I feel privileged and honored to have photographed this sweet and lovely little soul in her first weeks of life!
