Mia Is A Wild One! | Cake Smash Photography; Germantown, MD

Sunday, May 13, 2018

Mia- I screamed and hugged your mama when she told me the news. I watched her belly grow and I thought for SURE you were a boy the whole time. I held your mama’s hand and made her laugh when she was in the hospital where I stayed up for almost 24 hours waiting for you to arrive. I saw your adorable little face when it was moments new- a gift that few people get the honor to witness. I watched you grow from that squishy, fresh baby, to a brave and adventurous person learning new things every day. I got to spend Mother’s Day with one of my favorite Mom’s (probably one of yours too!) and we got to watch you celebrate being a WILD O-N-E! It was so fun and you definitely would have sat there and happily finished the whole cake if we let you. A girl after my own heart. I’m so glad we captured this precious first year for you and I can’t wait to capture so many more!

Spring is my FAVORITE season- to be outside, to have sessions, to have a BIRTHDAY (this sunday is mine- hollla!), to celebrate Mother’s Day, EVERYTHING! The only thing is, spring makes me reschedule sessions often. Spring has sprung and the April showers rained this session out for us THREE times before we actually had a sunny day when we scheduled our session! It was SO worth it because we just got to run around watching Alice pick flowers and wave at puppies! Frank and Charlotte were so amazing to hang out with and I even managed to capture a few moments of just the two of them together (which, as a parent myself, I love sneaking into family sessions!) Mom and Dad moments are so few and far between when our kiddos are little. It’s always a treasure to have those captured to remind us of the love that got us here in the first place!

I had such a blast and I can’t wait to see you guys again!

Spring Has Sprung! | Spring Family Session; Rockville Civic Center Park, MD

Yessss guys, give me ALL the spring time sunshine and blooms and beautiful families! These guys were so fun! William was SO sweet and for a minute there I thought I was going to capture his first steps on his own because he was cruising around, barely holding on to Mom and Dad! We took a little break near the end for a snack and you’ll never believe what they brought- my absolute FAVORITE cookie- a Kitchen Sink cookie from Panera. William got to enjoy a little bit of cookie while we got some really great shots of just Mom and Dad. I LOVE these moments because at the end of the day, through the ups and downs of this crazy season of having little ones, moms and dads are partners and team mates. They even shared a bit of cookie with me (they are huge cookies!) so- so far they are in first place for Clients of the Year…. LOL! OH and if you’re like me, and your heart totally melts at the sight of group cuddles or babies in glasses- get ready for some totally melted hearts:

Alright, so you probably recognize this beautiful family, because it’s their SIXTH session with me and it was such a special one! We’re adding another little lady to the family and I got to capture that precious time before they go from three to four! The time before my second kiddo came along feels like a life time ago, but I would never trade it for the heart explosions I get from seeing my boys play together (you know, when they get along!) And I can NOT wait to meet this precious little one in a few weeks! Get some warm fuzzies from this spring maternity session:

I love a good ‘Through the Years’ collage! Char is growing up so fast and I know she’s going to be an amazing big sis!

Ok it has been a month or two since I had a newborn session and I was CRAVING snuggling a little nugget. Aryan was PERFECTION, you guys. He had that awesome newborn smell and was so, so sweet. I will never ever tire of holding sweet tiny babies and talking to their mom and dad about newborn life. It is such a crazy, beautiful time and I’m SO grateful and honored to capture it forever for each of my families I meet. I even got a three generation shot (which I love! Such a treasure!) Ok, enjoy Aryan’s session, but warning- you might explode from the cuteness! You have been warned!! LOL!

I already can’t wait to see you all again for family pictures next year!!
