PORTRAITS! Maternity Session at Jonas Green State Park in Annapolis

They're moving, they're having a baby and they've referred me to couples more times than I can remember.  It was such a relaxing morning photographing these two on the beach. This session turned out just as beautifully as their wedding pictures. Stay tuned for the newborn session later this summer!

COMMENTARY! The Power of Images: It Only Takes a Second

Sometimes the most amazing thing you do in a day takes mere minutes and isn't even part of the job. As I was setting up a back lit shot for the bride and groom at my last wedding, I asked my second photographer for the night, Stevie, to hop in and model for a test shot.  She's a really close friend of mine, an incredibly talented photographer herself and about 23 weeks pregnant.  What resulted was the most amazing maternity photo that she's asked to enlarge to hang in her baby's room.  I'm so touched that she would do this.  Sometimes you just get so caught up in the doing that you forget how much power and meaning there is in a simple image. 

PORTRAITS! The Novak's are expecting! Maryland Maternity Session

I am so happy I could photograph my first maternity session with Diana and Adrian.  We met three years ago when they hired me to photograph their wedding and I instantly felt comfortable with them and their family.  I am so honored to be a part of another big moment in their lives as they are expecting their first child.  I cant wait to meet her this winter!
