Stepping outside of your comfort zone--Family Photographer Anne Arundel County

As the days drew nearer to the date of this photo shoot I began to worry. We had rain on the forecast for the entire weekend and we couldn’t reschedule because they were moving out of the area. I called the morning of the photo shoot to double-check what their thoughts on the situation were and they wanted to proceed. As I drove through the pouring rain I began to fret over where we may end up since I had never had a shoot at this particular spot. I thought to myself, “Perfect, I didn’t even bring an umbrella.” It was still raining as they pulled up and I found an umbrella in my daughter’s dance bag and we just went for it. We did some with each of the umbrellas we had out along the pond and then I spotted a dry area in an office complex that we were able to monopolize and put the baby down. I just loved the ones of him crawling around. We took a stroll around the office building stopping for pictures along the way, everything turned out just as it should. There are just some days you have to work outside of your comfort zone.

Newborn Lifestyle Photography in Calvert County

Many of you are wondering about newborn photography. My sessions vary from posed portraits to a more down to earth lifestyle session. Both sessions usually run about two hours but the difference in a lifestyle newborn session we just focus on the natural beauty of your child and family. We may do some posed cute pictures but we are also going to get some photos of your family cuddling, embracing, laughing, oohing and awing over your bundle of sweetness, and most important the joy and bliss that this new life has brought to your family.

I have done these types of sessions at clients homes, their relatives homes and just about anywhere in between. I will bring a few items along for props if needed but mostly we use what is readily available at the location of choice.

Amber and her Dad

I took a few pictures of Amber and her dad when we were in AZ on vacation for Christmas.

Family D's Christmas pics

This was fun to do some of the pics in the studio and then some outside as well.

Family F--Aren't they a stunning family!

I just loved the way the leaves were changing. A huge thank you again to Amber for finding my chair it was a perfect prop to take with us for this family shoot.

Mini Session #2--flightline

We had four more families come out for the second mini session. We even had one dog join us. The sun was brighter but all in all a good day.

Family A

What a busy day, I finished up the morning mini session and rushed home to doing a photo shoot with family A. The kids were such hams. I had one more photo shoot for the day but they cancelled. Lucky me, there was already alot of editing for the day.

Mini Session #1 continued

Here are two more pictures from session one. The kids on this day were just too funny!!

Family S-just the kids

Ok, so family S was so fun to work with they deserved two posts. How adorable are these kiddos? Just gorgeous!!!

Family C

I had a wonderful time photographing Family C while they were in town visiting family. These pictures were taken out a Pena Adobe Park and it was a wonderful setting for these pictures. I love the blue shirts and Khaki shorts with the beautiful surroundings.

Another Family S

This family was a little trickier than the last with the vast size differences that I had to work with. I love the challenge of it but I had to shoot them standing on a stool for several shots. Isn't this little cutie too adorable, I just wanted to squish his cheeks.

Family S

Family S wanted to pics in the studio and on location. We took pics out at the Equestrian center. This first shot was my favorite. What a beautiful family and such sweet boys.

Family B again

I got to work with half of family B today. We had a great time, just love the sweet yawn pic.

Family B and their Christmas pictures

Isn't baby A just too cute.

Family D

Well I decided to take a test run with my new equipment today. This was our fun pose that we came up with. What do you think?
