Prom Pictures!! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

prom pics-9

As a mom (one, in particular, who has absolutely no sense of style…) I was so proud to see my oldest daughter all fancied up for Prom last weekend. To say that she was stunning on her dress and up-do (courtesy of my sister) is a huge understatement. I don’t think these prom pictures even [...]

prom prep-1-2

Last Friday was PROM and my oldest daughter was asked to go. She’s been getting ready for this weekend for weeks now, planning the perfect dress (which she found at Macy’s!), the perfect jewelry (thanks to Charming Charlie’s), and the perfect hair (courtesy of my awesome sister, Andrea). Here’s a sneak peek at the prom [...]

Mom and Me Belly Shot #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

mom and me belly shot maternity photo

Way back when, in November 2010, I took maternity photos for a beautiful first-time pregnant mom. I was thrilled when she called me up again for a new set of maternity pics–this time with baby bump #2 and her soon-to-be-big-brother. Big brother was adorable-as-could be and full of personality. And he knew just what to [...]

Cousins (In Utero!) Wordless Wednesday

I’ve photographed these two sisters before, but this week brought a very unique opportunity – a sisters maternity shoot! These two cousins will be about a month apart, but how fun will it be for them to look back on these pictures of their moms’ pregnant bellies together?

Catch! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

caught

At my photo shoot this past week, as the kids were wearing down and we were wrapping up, one of the kid’s dads threw his son up in the air. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and whipped the camera around so that I could catch it – hopefully. Two clicks [...]

Let the Spring Photo Season Begin! Wordless Wednesday

I’ve been taking pictures of these kids since this little girl was a baby. I love my regular clients (and seeing them grow up through the years). I also love how the two older kids were pulling their little brother/cousin up the hill! My weekends are filling up with Spring photo sessions. All repeat clients. [...]

Our Special Place – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

maryland hike in spring - our special place

We have a special place. It’s a few minutes away from our house, but when we go there, we feel like we’ve been transported to an entirely different world. Yesterday, while the bigger kids were all in activities, AJ and I visited our special place for the first time this year. It was a perfect [...]

Spring Has Sprung – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

spring blossoms

I arrived back in Maryland early this morning (early, early) and discovered that Spring had finally showed up in our town. Last week we were still running the heater, and this week we’re sweating in 80+ degrees. Last week, there were no blossoms on the trees in the neighborhood. This week, the blossoms are everywhere. [...]

I think I’ve mentioned a time or two that four nights in the hospital kinda messed up most of our Spring Break plans. Luckily, I have an awesome sister who stepped in and redeemed the last few days of the week. Not only did she take my four younger kids for 2 1/2 days (where [...]
