A New Year and a New Look

I wanted to post quickly to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!!  Things were crazy busy and I’m afraid I didn’t have any free time to keep up with the blog.  I am beginning to work on much needed updates to my website.  I’ll be sure to let everyone know when the work is complete and all of the new images and information is uploaded. 

You can now follow us on Facebook!  Follow the link and become a fan!  I have already posted some special offers there.  Look for more special offers and sessions coming soon!  And I promise and new blog post soon with lots of new photographs!!

I WAY overshot this session.  He was sooo fast I was afraid that I wasn’t going to have any photos in focus or they were all going to be a fraction of a second too late and I wouldn’t have any of the shots I wanted.  (Typical two year old!  HA HA!)  Well, I was faster than I thought and now I have too many cute ones.  :)   I could just eat this kid up!  He is the kind you want to scoop up and take home with you.

I just had to dig up a photo from his session this time last year. I love getting the chance to watch so many cutie pies grow up. Then:

I couldn’t say why, but this is my absolute favorite photograph from this session.  That perfect little angel, sweet as sugar face, but you can still see he was up to something!

I was also sooo excited to learn that he is going to be a big brother!  I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to this great family!

Sometimes you just know | Southern Maryland Senior Portraits

Sometimes when I am in the middle of a session I get a shot that I just know is going to be THE shot.  This was it for this senior session:

This is my second “little sister” this year.  I took her sister’s senior portraits two years ago.  It’s frightening how quickly time passes!

October is…

It’s my Dad’s birthday!   HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!  Love you!!!  Smooch!

Sorry, had to get that in just in case he “stopped by” the blog today.  :)  

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Please, please, please all you ladies out there make sure you are doing your monthly exams and getting your mammograms!  This is very near and dear to my heart since my mom is a breast cancer survivor.  I can not express how important it is.  My mom had just been to the doctor for her annual check up a couple of months before.  Her cancer was very fast growing, and had she not found it herself so early on, it may have been too late.  Have trouble remembering every month?  I found a great site that will set you up with a plan and send you email reminders even!    www.mypinkplan.com  Check it out!

Also, did you know I am a member of Think Pink Photography?   We offer complimentary portrait sessions to breast cancer patients.  Members of this organization include photographers from all across the country.  If you know someone who is bravely battling this terrible disease, please pass the link along.  More “pink” posts to come this month.

Holiday Portrait Specials | Maryland Photography

Boy, I feel like I need a drum roll.  :)   Sorry it’s taken me forever to post this.  We had a nasty cold bug in our house and it took forever to get through all five of us.  Pretty miserable couple of weeks, especially for the baby.  I’ve been getting tons of emails about my holiday sessions so I knew I had better get busy and post.  Here we go….

Future Rockstar! | Maryland Newborn Photography

You have to check out the hair on this little guy!  Was he born to rock or what?!?!

I’m not exaggerating when I say one of the cutest babies EVER, right?!?!  I was so glad when his mommy and daddy let his hair do its thing rather than attempt to tame it.  I’m sure they will be too when they look back at these photos in the years to come.  I can’t wait to play with this cutie pie again!

I made her wait…| St. Mary’s County Senior portraits

This poor girl has been waiting too long to view her proofs.  Apparently I am completely dense because it never occurred to me (until recently) that having three children means that colds have one more little person to make miserable in my house.  I learned a few other things over the course of the past three weeks as well.  Do they get sick all at once?  Nope .  Do they do it when the pediatrician is in town holding regular office hours?  Nope.  Do they do it when the covering pediatrician is in the office closest to us?  Nope.  (Had to drive 45 minutes to the Dunkirk office three times in the last two weeks).  The poor baby is sick right now and on breathing treatments.  :(   I can’t tell you how much I am hoping that he can kick this soon so we are all better and resting comfortably at night again.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that this poor senior has been forced to wait since I’ve only been able to grab a few moments here and there to work the past couple of weeks.  Her gallery will finish uploading tonight so I am really hoping that she will be thrilled and they will be worth the wait!  Here’s a little peek…

Brothers | Southern Maryland Children’s Photography

Just a little looksie for mom and dad while I am waiting for their proofs to come in.  They only wanted photographs of the boys together, but I found these two individual shots and couldn’t even entertain the thought of deleting them.  (Let’s just call them little bonus “gifts.”  ;) )  These two guys were just too cute for words!

Thanks so much for bringing them!  I’ll be in touch as soon as your order is in!

A Senior Guy…Finally!! | Calvert County Senior Portraits

This is my first senior guy from the class of 2010.  The girls’ sessions begin in June because they are so excited about their senior portraits, but I usually don’t see the guys until school is about to start.  I really enjoyed meeting this senior and his family.  I love the way his portraits came out.  Even if he wouldn’t jump into the pool for me….  ;)
