Southern Maryland Children’s Photography

Seriously, who needs a thousand words when one will do???  Awwwww!!!!!

Magic of Childhood Mini Sessions | Maryland Children’s Photography

We are now booking special mini sessions that celebrate the magic of childhood.  Does your child have a special stuffed animal he can’t leave the house without?  Does your daughter spend her days having tea parties with her favorite dolls?  Do you have a super hero or fairy princess?  Or maybe you just want to capture your kids in fits of giggles or chasing butterflies or bubbles?  These mini sessions are all about documenting those sweet moments in your child’s life. 

Sessions will take place on Saturday, June 12th in St. Mary’s County.  (If this date will not work for you, or if you have a special location in mind that you would like to use, please contact me.  I am not limiting these sessions to this date alone).  Sessions will last 20-30 minutes and you will have your choice of a traditional printed session or digital session.  The print session is $150 and includes an online gallery with 5-7 proofs from which to chose the following:  (1) 8×10, (2) 5×7s, (1) set of wallets and a mini desktop storyboard.  The digital session is $250 and includes a cd with 5 digital negatives with personal printing release and one 5×7 print of each negative. 

I will provide an assortment of props such as super hero capes, pettiskirts, bubbles and balloons, but I highly recommend bringing your own toys or costumes from home that have special meaning to your child.  Please contact me by email (alicia@baybreezephoto.com) to schedule your session or discuss your ideas.

A Mother’s Day Gift

My morning tomorrow just opened up and I was thinking about doing something special for Mother’s Day. Soooo, the first two people who email me ( alicia@baybreezephoto.com ) will get a free mini session tomorrow morning for themselves or a friend. Sessions will take place at 10 and 10:30 in St. Marys County so the winning moms and their kids must be available for the session at that time.   The session and one 8×10 are a gift from me. Additional prints may be purchased separately. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Share The Love

In honor of Valentine’s Day I’d like to announce our Share The Love Sessions. Book your 2010 session and get two for the price of one. You can either schedule bothsessions yourself if you are planning on two sessions this year, keep one and give one as a gift OR split the cost with another friend or family so that you both get half off your session fee.

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.

Then and Now | Maryland Children’s Photography

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!

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….

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 From Home To Heroes Session | Military Family Photographs

I didn’t get a chance to blog about this session before, but wanted to get it up before I forgot.  Earlier in the summer I was contacted by a wonderful client who nominated her cousin’s family for one of my “From Home To Heroes” sessions.  Her cousin is currently serving in Afghanistan and she knew he would love to have some special photos of his wife and two sons.  I jump at the chance to do these sessions whenever I can.  We owe our military families so much for their sacrifices.  This is one of the ways I use to say thank you.

Keep this amazing family in your thoughts and prayers.  I can’t wait to hear that their Marine is home safe and sound!

Remember, I offer complimentary portraits sessions to families with a parent currently serving overseas or about to be deployed.  If you would like more information, or would like to nominate a family, please email me at alicia@baybreezephoto.com  and put “From Home To Heroes” in the subject line.
