Growing up adorable * Maryland Baby Photographer

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:52:12 +0000

I was super excited about my session this weekend. First because I LOVE photographing one year olds. There is something about that age range where they still resemble a baby but are starting to become a little kid…and they’re figuring out their first steps and have full personalities…I cant get enough of them! This little sweetheart though was super special to me because I first met Callie last November for a session when she was about 4 months old.

She was adorable back then, and has now grown into a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL one year old, who just happens to be hilariously silly and sweet at the same time. She had me cracking up almost the whole session - and while I’ve been editing her images I keep going back and forth between laughing at her silliness and being awed by her gorgeous eyes. Just a few images today for a sneak peek - enjoy!

Told you she was beautiful!!

And silly!

We’ve got a roller! * Maryland Baby Photographer

Well, sort of. Heath first showed off his rolling skills at 2 months while playing on his activity mat…but then nothing - not even rocking or tilting - for the next two months. But today, on his 4 month birthday, he decided to pull this little stunt in the middle of my attempt at some 4 month photos.

Oops. I should have known better than to attempt these without a spotter…I remember all too clearly when he was 10 days old (on Mother’s Day no less) me taking him out to do some photos in a basket and he TIPPED OVER and fell on his head. He was totally fine; I was scarred for life.

So of course, just like old times, Heath decided to reach his next milestone in a grassy field with an awkward landing.

I cant believe he’s 4 months old…

Sweet 2 week old baby Daniel is such a miracle. He was easy on me - cuddly, sleepy and adorable in all his newborn perfection. I got to see how excited his mama and papa were during their maternity session and now meeting Daniel was amazing. They fit together as such a perfect complete family and they’re absolutely naturals as parents. I could have held him all day long - check out this cutie pie!

Fun with Heath * Maryland Photographer

Life has been busy in our house - with a vacation to Indianapolis and lots of work within the past few weeks, it’s been crazy but fun. This week we took a fun break and met up with fellow photographer friends Susan of Pretty Petal Studio and Kelly of Kel Photo for a picnic at the beach. The kids had a blast and while the intent was for us to take some photographs, sadly mine didnt even make it out of the camera bag. Luckily they took some beautiful images of Heath that I’m excited to share here - first up is Susan’s.

Yes my child is pale. Yes he is a bit plump. Yes he is eating sand.

And here are two from Kelly:
He looks like a dorky old man here, but I love him.

And here it is - the news I’ve been so excited to share with you guys! As I mentioned earlier this week, Amber of Little Moon Photography and I are joining forces to provide you with an incredible workshop.
On Sunday, September 12th we will be offering an exclusive and intensive workshop designed to teach YOU the tips and tricks to taking your own kids’ photos. We’ve both heard from sooooooo many friends and clients how much they’d love to use their own camera but they’re either intimidated/overwhelmed with learning how to use it, frustrated with the images they do get, or just want to take their photos to the next level. We’re spending 3 hours teaching a complete workshop covering everything you can imagine on taking great images straight out of the camera, plus more. Then the last hour we will be working with you all individually to figure out YOUR camera, and you will have the chance to see us photograph a model and ask questions one on one. I cant wait!!!!! We both love to teach and are so looking forward to offering this to you all.

Here are all the details below! Space is VERY limited and secured on a first come, first served basis….so if you’re interested please submit this form here and we’ll be in touch with you with the next steps!

Get set… * Maryland Photographer

So excited to announce more details on my fun news! Many of you guessed correctly earlier this week when I posted that I have some fun photography news - nice job! The wonderful Amber of Little Moon Photography and I are joining up to host a FABULOUS workshop here in the DC area for all you moms out there. All the nitty gritty details will be announced this Sunday, but for now dust off those camera manuals and unpack your camera - your opportunity to learn from us how to take your own amazing photos of your kids is almost here!

3 months and counting * Maryland Baby Photographer

I’ve totally been slacking on taking and posting photos of Heath…and you all have called me out on it over email, comments, etc! Sorry!!!! I know he’s a cutie and I get to see his adorable face every day, so I’ll try to do a better job of sharing him here too! He had his first few vaccines which seemed to go well, and while he had about 2 weeks of sleeping through the night, he’s blessed us with a month of 3am wake up calls. Lovely. Life is getting into a new normal though, and life with a baby is now all I seem to be able to remember. He wakes us up with a smile every morning, reaches for toys/necklaces/hair and PULLS, and is super close to being able to roll over. We’re so in love with this little face!!

Oh yeah, and he’s 16.5 pounds and wearing 12 month clothes…at 3 months old. Help me.

Here are just some recent happy faces from Heath:
