How does that little nursery rhyme go…something along the lines of little boys eat snips and snails (which I have no idea what a snip is but I bet if my son found one he’d eat it) and little girls are sugar and spice. During this session with this beautiful and loving family I kept thinking about this rhyme and how perfectly true it was for these two little girls. They were beyond adorable – too beautiful for words, and had the sweetest personalities. I’m sure they get this from their parents who were so patient and sweet with them (and eachother) and actually with me too! I had a bit of an epic morning ride heading in to meet them (first a downed power line which re-routed me 30 minutes in the other direction) and then my GPS failed me miserably…but they just kept their laid back and happy selves occupied until I finally arrived. I love all my clients and see happy families all the time, but I can honestly say I’ve never seen siblings in this age range act as well behaved and adorable as these two did. 2 and 4 years old?! That can melt down quickly…but these two were awesome. I was so happy to tag along with them as they wandered through the gorgeous grounds of Gramercy Mansion which is the location of mom and dad’s wedding several years ago. It would be a stunning place to get married, and it was a perfect place to capture this family and their love for eachother and life. This is a huuuuuge sneak peek – they deserve it for me being such a crazy woman driving to them!
Enjoy!!

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!

Admittedly I’m biased, but Heath is such a great baby. He’s so sweet and even now with a double ear infection he has nothing but smiles for us. To brighten your weekend – here’s us catching some of the fun little moments of having a 9 month old. Bathtime fun and some playtime randomness. Enjoy!
