Olivia Studio Snuggles | Family Studio Photography; Frederick, MD

I love having family sessions in the studio where it’s always warm and cozy (especially in the cold months!) Meeting Olivia and her super cool parents was so much fun! She made us work for those smiles, but I think my favorite shots were when she sat with her leg crossed in the little chair. Very serious, but stunning the whole time! I love that we included a few shots with her koalas, because one day they’ll be in a box in the attic and you’ll be able to look back and cherish those sweet times when she took them everywhere she went. I know I cherish the moments I managed to save of my kiddos and their favorite lovies at that age. I can’t possibly pick a favorite, but luckily, you get to see them all!

Mira’s Starry Night Smash!| Cake Smash Photography; Frederick, MD

I absolutely love meeting new little clients to celebrate their birthday and Mira and her parents were so, so sweet! It was cold and thunderstorming outside, but our session was so warm and bright and relaxing. I did have to pull a few of my tricks out once Mira saw that golden balloon because she wanted nothing else, but the snuggles we got were priceless (especially when she bit dad’s nose!) I also love a theme especially if parents give me creative freedom to run with it! I have to say, if I did my OWN cake smash right now, it would probably be stars and moon themed, so I was so excited for this one. It all payed off when I turned on the cloud lights and everyone went “oooh!” (even me!) I had such a blast capturing Mira demolishing this cake and then turning her bath water blue. I hope I get to see these three again soon!!

Being In Your Arms Takes Me Back To That Little Farm | Christmas Tree Farm Photography; Westminster, MD

When I tell you this was the most fun I’ve probably ever had during an extended family session- I mean we had an absolute blast. Outdoor sessions in December can be a little dicey, especially if we only have one day with no rescheduling options, but I was watching the weather like a hawk all week. We actually ended up getting a really magical fog roll in (and no rain!) so that was very amazing. This entire family was SO wonderful. I’ve known Jordan and Jack and Piper through mutual friends, but this was their first session with me (and first since Piper was a baby!) So I knew we had to get a bunch of great ones to make up for lost time. We had FOUR generations during this session, which is so special. I’m so thankful for my job every day and how I barely feel like it’s a job because of getting to hang out and capture the silly love of incredible families like this one. Please enjoy all of the warm fuzzies from all the hugs in these images.
