I met up with this wonderful family today to get some portraits of their beautiful daughter. This was one of my auction winners and I’ve been really looking forward to this session!

Miss M was full of energy today and she really kept me on my toes. She’s got a great smile and check out those eyes!

I love it when you can actually feel the love a family has for each other. The kids were both a lot of fun (and total sweethearts), and all four of them are so good looking! I had a great afternoon with them.

I think my favorite part of the afternoon was right when things were winding down. We were just about done and the kids were getting silly. I’d hold the camera up to take a photo and they’d throw themselves on the floor as if killed. There was a lot of giggling and a lot of dramatic falling. I’m so happy when kids can be themselves instead of stiffly posing with that fake school-portrait smile.

Remember the sweet maternity I shared recently? ( here ) Well, her beautiful 10 lb baby came into this world and I was lucky enough to head back down to them his very first portrait session.

I just loved snuggling with him! He is also very lucky to have such a loving, attentive big sister, too. She was my special assistant, and when little brother took a nursing break, big sister and I read a few books together. There is not much in the world sweeter than a toddler running up to you and plopping in your lap with a book in hand.

Miss M was an amazing model for me yesterday! She is so sweet and cuddly.

She was an absolute dream to photograph, as long as she was in the spotlight. She didn’t care much for sharing the limelight with mom! In the end, I think we wore her out and I hope she slept well that day.

I’m telling you, I have the best job in the world. I love being around beautiful babies!

I ventured back down to Fell’s Point for an urban family session. Fell’s is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shoot. There’s so many great colors and textures there!

He was throwing rocks into the giant puddle, and decided to give mom a BIG hug. Awwww…..

He had so much spirit! Truly, a lot of fun.

Let’s see, we threw rocks into puddles, fed and then chased some ducks, jumped over a lot of stuff, inspected “traps” (cellar doors), spun in circles, swung around, jumped, and all around had a fantastic time. We ended the day in my favorite coffee shop. We had expected to shoot between rain drops but it held off the entire time!

Thank you so much for spending the morning with me! I had a great time!
