Auction

It's that time again!  I am so thankful that I am able to participate in my beautiful niece's school auction.  Here is the sign I created for my donation. 

Personal

My baby boy turned 4 last week...

Glow

One of my dearest friends is expecting her first little baby.  I couldn't have been happier when they asked me to take some maternity photos so they remember this special time.  :) 

Sisters

I love a family with sisters.  I am amazingly close to my sister, so when I see two little girls in the same family, I just love it!  In fact, without my sister, I wouldn't even know this beautiful family!!  :)

Vendor spotlight: Rebecca Weigle Design, day 3

So sad.  This is the last day of my Rebecca Weigle Design vendor spotlight series.  In case you can't tell, I am in LOVE with her designs.  Please send me an email if you would like to use one of these exclusive designs for your holiday cards this year!

Beautiful family!

I love this family.  Love love love.  They were the first family that I ever did.  WAYYYYY back when I had just received my camera.  Last year, they had a life changing and extraordinarily terrifying experience.  They had a house fire.  Luckily, no one was harmed, but they lost a lot.  I am no cook, am not a builder of any kind, can't pour concrete...so when I was moved by their story to do something to "help"...all I could think of was this.  To give them new family photos...to replace those lost forever.  I had a blast doing them too!!!  Here is just one...

Vendor Spotlight: Rebecca Weigle Design, Day 2

As I said, Rebecca Weigle is an amazingly talented designer.  I am just thrilled to be offering these designs to my wonderful clients!  You will not find these anywhere else...please let me know if you are interested in learning more about them!

Day 2's designs are GORGEOUS...see for yourself.

Good friends

I love love love when I get to play with my dear friends' kiddos.  These lovely ladies also happen to be our very close family friends.  Their mom and dad have been a part of my life for over 12 years!  We have been through a lot together and I am more than honored to be asked to take their photos!

*sigh*

One of my oldest and dearest friends. We met in first grade, and then she moved 3 doors down. If you are counting, that means we have been friends for 31 years. Yikes. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

 Happy.  No other words needed.

Vendor Spotlight!! *Rebecca Weigle Design*

I am soooooo excited to share this with all of you!  I am exclusively working with Rebecca Weigle of Rebecca Weigle Design for my holiday cards this year.  OF course you are free to get your cards where ever you like...but I can guarantee you won't find ANY this good.  And I mean GOOD.  Rebecca is a creative superstar.  :)

I am going to reveal these amazing designs in batches, so they get the full attention they deserve.  :)

Here is batch number 1.  ENJOY!

Sweet S

I have had the pleasure of knowing this little lady since she was brand new.  I have certainly enjoyed watching her grow up so far...and look forward to all the years to come!!

Oh, these boys...

What fun I had with these two guys at Federal Hill park.  Their mom and I are OLD friends and it was such a pleasure to reunite!  Her boys are not only adorable, but they are super sweet too! 

My dear friends!

I am in love with these photos of some of my dearest friends!  :)  These were shot in Historic Ellicott City...there are so many fantastic secret places to find there!

The Q Family

I have only known this family for about a year, but I feel like we have been friends for much longer!  I am so honored to take their photos again and again.  This session was so effortless and fun! 

Jilly's family!

One of my closest and dearest friends and her lovely family!

The Girls!

What fun I had on the beach with this group of girls!  They are cousins...growing up together....happy.  And introducing the newest addition...an 8 week old pup.  *sigh*

One of my favorite families!

Every time I get to play with this family, they get more and more lovely!  I can't wait to see what their cards turn out to look like!

My dear friend...

...Jill, this one's for you!

family connections

I love love love it when a family lets themselves have a little fun when they are hanging out with me.  This family had such a natural presence in front of the camera...and it shows!!  I can only imagine how much fun they have together when I am not around!  ;)

Dance...

...like no one is watching.
