Lemonade and Strawberries

I have been planning a shoot with this dress for ages.  It was going to going to have cowboy boots and a log cabin but I couldn't cowboy boots that I liked.  During my search I found this quilt and basket instead and changed the whole concept.  I will be using this set up for my summer mini sessions in August.

You can find out more information about the summer mini sessions here.

Summer Mini Sessions

Newborn Special!!! New custom design announcements available!

Newborns change every day. 

They only have that perfectly new and curled up look for about two weeks. 

That is why it's important to capture those moments before they are gone!

So take advantage of our Newborn Special NOW!

Offers are good for sessions booked by July 31,2011. Session does not need to take place in that time but deposit with tentative due date is required.

New business cards are final printed l Rockville Area Portrait Photographer

I change my designs constantly because I do all me logos and websites and blogging myself.  I never feel finished.  But I finally made the commitment to these business cards and had them printed.  Hopefully, I will continue to like for at least a few months.  Of course, I already want to put my latest newborn shoot on here.  That will be blogged soon.

Ollie & Bess

I had a great shoot with this family.  The kids were so cute and fun.  One of the girls thought we should put her pictures in a magazine... a little model in the making.  All the clothes are from Ollie & Bess, a great online store for classic, timeless kids clothes!

Abandoned Farm

After the deforestation caused by a new highway, this old abandoned farm was uncovered. We went on a little adventure through the rubble.

Week 9: hue . gray . texture . wood

A beautiful family

I have had three sessions with this wonderful family since August.  One turned into a mini session because of the rain, the next was a dance session because they were unhappy with ones from the dance studio.  This last one was so last minute.  The oldest daughter is grown so is not always around.  I received a call on Thanksgiving saying she's here... you have to come.  So the next morning I was there.  I had a blast photographing them.  This collage will replace the one over the fireplace that we did when the 8 year old was just 1 and the little guy was only a twinkle.

A crazy session

This session was crazy. Mama B called and said it is raining in Gaithersburg. In all my wisdom, I replied, "Oh, don't worry, it's not raining in Rockville, let's still do it!" So we got to the lovely mansion and photographed on their beautiful grounds for about 7 minutes before the torrential downpour started. Mama B and I where huddled under a dense tree in a small 3 foot patch of dry while the kids ran around and got soaked and splashed in puddles. They had a blast! I got my camera out again after the rain stopped and took some fun images that really embody these children. Thankfully, Mama was a good sport and saw the humor in the situation! What a fun time!
