Last night I spent the evening with hundreds of lovely ladies dressed as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and all for a great cause (Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund at FMH). Colonial Jewelers in downtown Frederick put on this fab soiree which included cocktails at their jewelry store right on Market St., and then a short walk down the red carpet to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s at the Weinberg Center. I met so many cool people, photographed hundreds of beauties in tiaras, shook hands with the mayor and pet a chihuahua. Good times!

Turner Photography Studios photographed the ladies formal portraits inside of the theater and you can view and purchase their prints directly from their site HERE.

I wandered around mostly enjoying the atmosphere…but I did manage to capture some of the energy and fun inside and spilling out into the streets. Enjoy these images I captured from this fun annual event. If you were one of the Holly Golightly girls check out your ‘kit’ bag for a card from me to you with a special gift for a future session with me!

Next year I’m grabbing all my girlfriends and we’re going to go!

Lastly check out my new feature on LPG!!

Cocktails, tiaras, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s….what could be better?! Ladies it’s time to grab your little black dress and your girlfriends and head to downtown Frederick THIS WEDNESDAY evening for a spectacular event for a great cause. Colonial Jewelers and the Weinberg Center will be hosting the annual Breakfast at Tiffany’s event this Wednesday, May 25th. You can read all the details HERE and I will be participating too! I’ll be around town taking some fun images of you all rocking your tiaras as you wander around enjoying the cocktails and specials so many local restaurants will be offering. Be sure to check out my blog later this week for images from this fabulous event. Remember there are only limited tickets available so be sure to get them now – just stop by Colonial Jewelers either today or tomorrow before the event to purchase your ‘kit’ which includes all your Holly Golightly accessories (earrings, necklace, tiara, cigarette holder, gloves, sunglasses), cocktail party beforehand, tickets to the Breakfast at Tiffany’s show at the Weinberg, coupons for businesses around town, and more. And the best part is that ALL of the proceeds from this event go to charity for the Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund at FMH. See you there!!!

Recently I spent a gorgeous morning with a beautiful family at Thanksgiving Farms in Frederick, Maryland for a spectacular maternity session. We walked around the orchard in the sunshine and chatted about their growing family as they’re expecting a new baby girl! At one point Dad asked little 4 year old Sydney which Disney princess she looked like (Belle) and which one mom looked like (Snow White)…and I’m pretty sure after seeing this beautiful family that their new baby girl on the way will have her own Disney princess lookalike very soon. Dad will be a bit outnumbered with the girls growing by one more, but I think having another daddy’s girl around will be pretty awesome. Mama is seriously STUNNNNNNNING and I could have photographed her for hours…she was glowing and gorgeous! And then there is little Sydney, who was incredibly excited about being a big sister and is already counting down the days until she gets to meet her. I must admit – I cant wait for the newborn portion from our bellies & babies sessions so I can meet her too!!

Enjoy these sneak peeks of this gorgeous family!

Finally getting around to sharing some more from this super fun sunset session with this gorgeous couple. They are celebrating their 5 year anniversary this year and wanted some updated images for themselves, and we couldnt have picked a more beautiful evening. The sun was warm (for March!) and the skies were clear, and this couple was so super fun. They were cracking eachother (and me) up for the whole session, and I am so happy to share this sampling from their session with you. Enjoy!

It’s that time of year again!!! I cant believe it myself, but here we are with the weather cooler and the leaves beginning to turn gold. Fall is my favorite time of year to photograph families outside, and now here is your chance to update your latest family photos and get cracking on holiday cards and presents. This year I’m offering a print and a digital choice so you can decide if you want to make your own cards or if you’d rather leave that work to me. The mini sessions are great for families (5 people or less) and will be held between October 7th and November 14th. Contact me to book yours! More details below:

The sessions are booked on a first come first served basis. Limited spots available, session fee due in full at time of booking.
