Annapolis Waterfront Photoshoot • The Behringer Family

Last week, I had a fabulous family session at Jonas Green Park with the Behringer Family - Sol, Kevin, and little Jameson!  Jameson is 18 months old and quite the wiggle worm!  He was happiest when "escaping" from the shoot, so I happily worked with his silliness and got some of my favorite shots by indulging his toddler antics. 

At the end of the shoot, we had a beautiful sunset!  I loved how this little family looked silhouetted against the sky.

Baby Elias | Newborn Photography

I absolutely adored photographing baby Elias at 3 weeks up in Rochester, NY along with his amazing mother & father, close friends that I'm excited to become family with soon -  Elias' father will be the best man at my wedding next April!

I'm so psyched to finally share these photos with everybody.  I plan on taking many more when we see the little shrimp again this August!

Baltimore Headshot Photography • Steven Baird

This September I had the pleasure of shooting headshots of Steven Baird, an up & coming actor in the Baltimore-Annapolis area of Maryland.   His recent ventures include The Mousetrap at Laurel Mill Playhouse and Spamalot at the Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre - this fall and winter he will also be appearing in Urinetown with The Heritage Players AND The Colonial Players' production of A Christmas Carol!  Wow!  This dude is one to watch!

As always, I like to begin & end my photoshoots with a ridiculous face.  Check the bottom right of this post for my favorite of Steve's magnificent grimaces!

Beautiful Brit Austin • Annapolis Portrait Photography

I was thrilled to finally get to work with Brit on a sunset photo shoot this September!  We had made an incredibly ill-fated attempt several months prior in which we got dressed up, geared up, headed to the location and proceeded to both become embarrassingly ill.  So, when we hit traffic on the way to Jonas Green Park in Annapolis, Maryland we became convinced that we were cursed as we watched the sun begin to dip...

Thankfully, we won our race against the sunset and were able to capture some truly stunning light!  Working with Brit was a dream and I can't wait to do it again...

 

 

Columbia Lakefront Portraits of Brad & Doreen

Brad and Doreen looked so stylish in their wedding finery that we just had to take another set of fabulous photos!  A few weeks after their April wedding, they got all gussied up and we traipsed down to the Columbia Lakefront to capture some romantic sunset portraits.

Brad looked and felt like James Bond, and Doreen was his stunning Bond Girl!  The light was beautiful and we had a ton of fun - everyone down at the lakefront cheered them on, waved and gave them two thumbs way, way up.

Brad & Doreen's Intimate Wedding

This spring I had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Brad & Doreen in Columbia, Maryland!  I have known Doreen since my teenager years when I babysat for her two young sons - so it was with a sense of nostalgia (and slight deja-vu!) that I entered her home on a sunny April afternoon to document her nuptials.

Brad & Doreen were colleagues and best friends at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, Maryland for 12 years, always supporting and helping each other.  When they became single around the same time, they each realized that, “The person I’ve been waiting for my whole life is right in front of me.”  And the rest was history!

Doreen's two sons participated in the ceremony - Mac as officiant, and Cameron sung a beautiful ode to the couple.  I was so proud to watch those two all grown up and showering their mother with love - I can only imagine how it must have felt for Doreen!  It was a truly lovely ceremony, with the couple exchanging vows in the center of a circle of close friends and family.
