I grow and learn every year, and this was my first full year back in Maryland, but I still had a quite a few sessions in the Outer Banks!

So many fun memories captured!
I hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving! It’s such an amazing feeling to wake up the day after a holiday and actually get excited to do work! I couldn’t wait to get this blog up for everyone and show off one of my very favorite families. Everyone loves that sweet little face of Mason’s and now we can see his awesome parents join in for a gorgeous fall family session! I will tell you, it was so super cold out while we were shooting, but the lighting and the fall leaves were so warm and beautiful. They totally rocked it and we got so many amazing shots.
Perfect.
I couldn’t help but catch a few extra fun ones of one of my favorite little guys- Mason!
His Aunt Katie tagged along and assisted behind the scenes, but I managed to get a perfect shot of her snuggling her little peach.
I can’t get enough of that smile!
I hope everyone is staying warm inside or at least getting some great deals out in the crazy black Friday madness. I was thinking of having a Black Friday sale, but I think I’m cooking up a fun sale idea for sometime before the new year gets here. So stay close!
Music: Wrapped In Red by Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite new Christmas songs, that whole album is really great (but I’m a sucker for Christmas songs)
Coffee: Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m tossing pumpkin flavored things out in favor for gingerbread! YUM.
Leave some love!
One of my favorite things about photography is the ability to stop time. Put it in a mason jar on a shelf and keep it exactly the way it was at that moment. I had another session with my beautiful friend Allison. The bun in her oven finished cooking and I got to meet sweet little Dax for the first time! I won’t chat anymore and let you go meet him too, because he’s adorable:
Beautiful Allison glowing and being amazing
Look at his sweet little baby-hawk and itty bitty peel-y newborn toes!

I stayed and hung out for a while longer after the session,

but I couldn‘t not take more pictures!

He was giving me this serious look a few times. He was a little skeptical of me at first.
I can’t even handle this one. So. Squish. It’s almost like he’s in the womb again.

Current Music: The Nsync Christmas album has begun its playing in my house. Don’t judge. It’s still one of my favorites. Disclaimer: I usually don’t start decorating until Thanksgiving night, but it just felt right!
I was so excited for this session, you guys. I love cake smash sessions! What is more fun than capturing someone experiencing their very first birthday cake? How often in our lives do we get to enjoy the mess? I mean, don’t get me wrong, life is totally messy, but we usually spend our days cleaning messes and trying not to make them in the first place. Making messes is an important part of our lives! Ok, I’m getting philosophical. Messes are great! Haha, anyway…
Chloe here, had the most AMAZING set of eyes I’ve probably ever seen. She wasn’t much of a smile-er, but smiling for emiB is over rated. Her eyes showed all of the emotion she needed. She was giving me art like a professional model! Get ready to be melted into a puddle from the beauty of Miss Chloe… you’ve been warned!
We started off in an adorable flower-y and flow-y dress…
Then we spared the dress for something a little more fun and the cake came out…!

She had a blast!
The tutu really got me, when she started crawling away, I got this shot on the right and it’s adorable.
Those eyes! Wow.
I didn’t want to send her home covered in delicious cake, so we had a little fun cleaning off in a bubble bath!
Nothin’ cuter than babies and bubbles.
Oh and to double the sweetness of this session, her mama works at Georgetown Cupcakes! YUM. She spoiled me with a box of those delicious little guys. Aren’t they so perfect? They taste just as amazing as they look.
I am feeling so blessed for all of the encouragement and love I receive from all of you. Every single like is appreciated. I truly can’t believe I get to wake up in the morning, enjoy being a mother at home with my amazing son, and also get to change peoples lives with something I created. It’s been such a long journey of discovering myself to get to where I am and I am no where near where I want to be yet! I have big dreams that I can see coming true slowly but surely. So stick with me gang! I am working on a lot of great things!
Music: I just found a song by Jason Mraz and Travie McCoy that’s really catchy. It’s called Rough Water and it may or may not be about Titanic… And I also started collecting Christmas Music onto a Spotify playlist. I’m so excited for the holidays already! If it’s cold. I want it to be snowing.
Coffee: Not too much new happening in the coffee world, but I will remind everyone to try a White Mocha Pumpkin Spice because those are delicious (especially when you pair it with a pumpkin scone!)
Leave some love!
Can you believe this is my first ‘official’ maternity session? I don’t know why I don’t stop every belly on the street and demand photos like these for them. I absolutely loved taking and editing these. It seems like forever when you’re actually pregnant, but in perspective, it’s only 9 short months of your whole life. It’s an amazing thing to be able to grow people and Allison looks fabulous doing it! She makes it look so easy and perfect even when she’s chasing after her son Asher, who has some of the most amazing baby blue eyes I’ve ever seen.
This sunlight was amazinggggg.
This is a fun one for me because it’s a little more editorial and candid looking. I love it!
I need to see this picture in a Ralph Lauren Kids magazine pronto. Can you believe those wavy blond locks blowing in the breeze!
Holy. Cow. This picture is one of my all time favorites. The bokeh in the background is ridiculous!
Those moments of calm where you just bond with that little person inside of you, wondering who they’re going to become. This one gives me chills and a warm fuzzy feeling at the same time.
I love that Asher is showing off his belly too!
Can you say gorgeous? Look at that perfect pregnancy glow!
*Bling*
This kid was running everywhere! It was a miracle to get these two in the same shot! But I’m so glad I did. These will be such a great memory to look back on. The time when it was just Asher, waiting for his little brother to arrive.
Belly in the sunlight <3
So I’m not going to brag or anything, but I did feel this little guy hiccup at the end of the session. I can’t wait to meet him in a few short weeks! I hope you enjoyed these as much as I do! Pregnancy is a really beautiful, magical time and I’m so happy I could help Allison and her family cherish the quiet time they once had before their adorable number two comes along.
Don’t forget to check me out on Facebook and Instagram for behind the scenes looks, teasers and great stuff coming up with emiB (not to mention, super cute pictures of my little guy, Jesse!)
Leave some love!
